Our time here has been terribly busy as of late, which is most clearly displayed at my poor efforts in updating this page. However, things are returning to a somewhat normal schedule that does not involve fighting so many fires and solving unexpected problems. This past week was excellent as we began a new course at the African Bible College. I think the potential pastors will thoroughly enjoy this new course: Bible Doctrine Survey. If nothing else, they like discussing and will enjoy talking about lofty concepts.

On Friday mornings we are learning about the book of Revelation. I have read many books on the matter as I passed through a class on Revelation during seminary. However, it never becomes routine and holds great hope amidst the tribulation and destruction of the earth. I think above anything, the imminent return of the Lord encourages His people not to waste a single moment in completing the work He has assigned, for our time has now grown short.

Just Tuesday night I dreamt of the rapture once again. I was outside and saw a couple of rainbows side by side. Thinking it a bit strange, I turned to ask if the fellow beside me saw the same thing. When I looked I found him gazing heavenward as well. Glancing back I saw that the two rainbows had become many and then that glorious trump resounded, calling the church home. Beams of light fell from heaven and snatched away the believers on that field. Who knows, one day soon this very well could take place.

Yesterday I was feeling a bit weary as I must have consumed something which robbed me of all energy, vigor and vim. However, today I have been raised from the depths of fatigue and in due time for I was on deck for preaching. Today I went to the church at Toi Market, a daughter church of my own here in Kibera. I have known the pastor, Humphrey Jamwaka, for some time as well as his family. In lieu of so many opportunities and directions being pulled I had not yet gotten to visit his church until this day. I found it to be a delightful place and certainly full of many who are passionate about their walk with the Lord.

I preached on the life of Joseph and the supernatural positions our God took him. I couldn’t help but get excited watching the seemingly hopeless journey he was on and yet the powerful and swift manner God raised him to second in command over Egypt. This was certainly impossible in the natural as Joseph was a Hebrew. The Egyptians would not even eat with a Hebrew, let alone have one as a leader of any kind. However, that is just like the Lord, to do the impossible.

As I was preaching in the front of that small, shack-like building, I noticed a flash of fur in the corner of the roof. Later I learned that I was being surrounded by scrambling rats on the top of the walls. I think this is a purposeful and disrespectful action from the world of rodents as they, in some fashion, attempt to pay me back for the deaths of their relatives. However, I was not dissuaded and the work of the Lord continued. They shall ne’er be found in our homes OR more important still, standing in the way of preaching the Gospel.
