Final week in Kenya!

Bwana Asifiwe! ('Praise the Lord' in Swahili) YES has finished our final week of ministry in Kenya! In Vihiga, we were blessed to share the life changing message of Jesus Christ in 28 schools with more than 11,000 precious souls. Thank you once again for your prayer as we completed a wonderful mission in Kenya!

Wonderful Second week in Kenya

Greetings from Vihiga, Kenya. Our Youth Education Strategies team has completed a wonderful week of ministry in Migori where we spoke in 28 schools with over 8,000 students and saw over 4,000 professions of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! We have already had a great church service on Sunday and a great Monday and Tuesday in schools. Please pray for God to move mightily in Vihiga during our final three days of ministry.

First week in Kenya

We have finished our first week of ministry in Kenya. We were able to speak in 20 schools with over 6,000 wonderful young people and see more than 3,000 professions of faith in Christ. I will be traveling tomorrow by bus to a city in southwest Kenya called Migori to begin another busy week of ministry. Please keep YES in your prayer!

First three days in Kenya

Three days done in schools! We have already spoken in 14 schools with over 3,500 students. This is looking like it will easily be our busiest project to date. So, please pray for God to renew our strength daily as we share the life changing message of Jesus Christ here in Kenya!

Kenya in two weeks!

Just confirmed tickets to fly to Kenya from February 26th through March 25th. That's less than two weeks away! Please join YES in prayer for our final preparations as we seek God's wisdom to finalize the details for this upcoming mission.

Merry Christmas!

Have you ever thought about the first groups of people who visited Jesus on the first Christmas? I believe that the simple fact of having shepherds and magi as the first guests at Jesus first birthday displays some awesome symbolism about who Jesus really is. I want to start by explaining a bit about these two groups of people.

Shepherds- Literally, people who watched after, fed, and lived with sheep. In Israel, shepherds were on the bottom rung of society. They were considered dirty, smelly, uneducated, immoral, irresponsible, untrustworthy alcoholics. In fact, they were so low in society that they weren’t even allowed to testify in a court of law!

Magi- The “wise men.” Possibly the most educated, respected, wealthy, and trusted people on Earth. They were representatives from various religions and parts of the world who got together to discuss philosophy, science, and other intellectual aspects of life. They were so respected, that many cultures wouldn't allow anyone to be king or any other type of leader unless they had approval of the local magi.

Why does this matter? I believe this shows that Jesus was truly born to save EVERYONE. From the highest of highs, to the lowest of lows; from the richest to the poorest; from the ends of the Earth, to those just down the road; from any type of foreign religion, to those whose families have followed God for generations; I believe that Jesus is for everyone.

God so LOVED the world, that He GAVE His only Son, so that WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM will not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. John 3:16 (emphasis added)

Have you ever truly experienced Christmas? Has Jesus ever been born into your heart? There is no better time than NOW to give your life to Christ!

On behalf of the YES/DSEA team, I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a blessed New Year!
