Our name is from the passage found in 1 Peter 2:4,5....'Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.'

<span class="s1">Dear Donors, </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We want to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for all you have done for us and SMI. Not only what you have done stands out, but your friendship has been above and beyond what has been asked of you. We are and will be forever indebted to you and your family. By the by…. this started as a personal letter to our faithful donors… but has ended up being a post for the Website directed specifically toward them. Please excuse the pictures, as I pressed the wrong button and permanently deleted over three thousand pictures taken this year!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br />
This year has been different than others, in that our Father made a major lane change, changing everything we were doing… again. The Holy Spirit directed us to change three major areas of ministry to be per scriptural precedent.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br />
This change is nothing new... just the implementing of two-thousand-year-old precedents found everywhere in the scripture, yet almost nowhere in Christianity... especially here in Kenya. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br />Things like; redefining pastors primary jobs (taking care of members and not just preaching), getting members out of the 'bleachers' and back in the game, gathering together for the right spiritual reasons. and finally, redefining who should be doing what, when and where.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span class="s1">At first, we didn't even know where to start. It appeared quite daunting. Yet, as we waded into the practical applications of these precedents, we realized we had been preparing our churches to receive these changes for almost five years. Here is a short description of what's been happening in the last six to eight months.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br />
Having His blessing, grace, and power we began to speak more boldly about the things we believe. The results have been rather amazing. It started in our little church in Miti Mingi who has never even had a pastor. As no one tried to 'take over leading’, people began to talk to each other, which led to ministry breaking out in everyone. Members began to grow spiritually and our neighbors began coming to see God move among His people.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span class="s1">Then Robert, the overseer of Baruti, began training Baruti members to take responsibility and never come together at a gathering without having something to give. Every meeting was a sellout. No-one wanted to go home. Two brothers began churches in their homes that are growing. Last Sunday they baptized four more young adults.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Robert (our overseer in Baruti) told me last week that they are seeing other home churches (not StoneHouse ones) spring up in Baruti, as people witnessed the growth of the Baruti church. Hallelujah, we are not trying to create a StoneHouse empire. We simply wish to see the Kingdom of God, in its fullness, advance.</span></div>

<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Keptembwa's last gathering witnessed three hours of sharing and testimonies. Their ranks are swelling as the leaders learn to take a back seat and focus on equipping saints to do the work of ministry in place of doing it themselves.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Langa Langa has begun another home church with eighteen people present last Sunday. </span></div>

<span class="s1"><br />
What has been amazing is how one spiritual thing leads to another. The brothers in Piave church, are experiencing similar outpourings. Before we started sharing with them about '<i>prayer walking',</i> three of their men were led by the Holy Spirit to begin to strolling around their village.</span></div>

<span class="s1">While praying and in the middle of their walk, they heard a man crying out in distress. Walking up to the house, they found him in the process of hanging himself. He had already tied the rope around a high branch of the tree and was minutes before committing suicide. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br />
The brothers talked and prayed and led the man to salvation. The suicidal man spoke of his brother who was in the same shape. The Piave brothers went to his brother’s house and ministered to him. He is truly answering us even before we pray... or teach.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br />
"It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.</span><span class="s2"> Isaiah 65:24</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br />
Now, this alone would invoke plenty of praise, but there is more... much more. We are almost finished with our Pavilion's kitchen. As with everything on Windy Hill, the brothers put their heart into their work. The kitchen became a work of art and will feed the hundreds we bring to any and all SMI functions on Windy Hill.<br />

Both of Josephines parents have died. Her two oldest daughters are married and one daughter is on her own. She’s blessed with 10 grandchildren. One son went with his father but no one knows where either of them are. Her adult children struggle raising their own families and aren’t able to help her. She has a 16 year old son, Joseph, who, after finishing 6th grade, had to quit school and leave home to work as a houseboy, to help his mom and 13 year old sister, Julia. He is sending them $5.00 a month to help with food and clothing. Josephine would love to have her son back with her and he wants to come home but she cannot afford to house and feed him.</div>

There were many women from our distant church families, that couldn’t attend, as the distance made traveling too cost prohibitive. Those who were able to come, arrived with some trepidation, having never met their fellow sisters.<br />

<br />
The Spiritual house, made of living stones, is being built in Ngoswani, Kenya. It’s purpose ... to become an environment to live with and serve our Father. Our beloved sister, Deb Deren, has for three years, been gathering those souls who would be formed into this living House of God.<br />

The honor of this House, is to offer acceptable and spiritual sacrifices to the glory of our Father’s Kingdom. The sacrifices are nothing less than the very lives of those who make up that house. (1Peter 2:4-6 and Romans 12:1)<br />

We were joined by a fellow worker in the Kingdom called Joseph, from outside the town of Narok, an hour and a half away from Ngoswani. Being a Masai himself, he was a great blessing in translating English to Masai as we taught those seeking baptism. After the teaching he asked if we could come and teach his friends and neighbors, to which we readily agreed to do so.<br />

Later that morning, we taught those who desired baptism and new life.<br />

The man in forefront of the picture below was a village elder who wandered in off the street and proclaimed that God was with us and that the Masai people needed to follow what we were doing in our church. I was told that Deb had never seen him before that day.<br />

After hearing what a true baptism is really means, out of the twenty that showed an interest, ten said yes, and the other ten said, they needed to take some more time before committing themselves to this new King. Four men and five women and one teenage boy chose Life. They also chose to repent of their past life, their sins and their union with this world and it’s culture. We were grateful that the baptism was being taken seriously and not done, without a moral choice and commitment to becoming disciples of Christ.<br />

Sunday morning the car was sent out to pick up people in town, so all the water for Sunday morning had to come by way of donkey carts… six of them. Once again the tank was filled and thankfully, it held the water (well, at least till the end of the day). There were around two hundred and fifty Masai that came to watch the transformation.<br />

Our friend and sister Deb Deren, expressed her need to be baptized as she did not understand the meaning of baptism, when she was baptized years back. She said she wanted to be the first and to set the example for the people she ministered to.<br />

One in particular… Makooi. Makooi has been with Deb for 4 years and would never commit his life to Christ. He said … that when I do chose to be baptized … It will be all… or nothing. After his baptism… Makooi was a different man. He smiled… he laughed … he played with his children and was one happy man.<br />

There was also, three young men. Ishwani, Joel and Isaiah. After the baptism, their hearts overflowed with joy, that was observable on their faces. They committed themselves to being made disciples, and vowed to follow their new King with absolute fidelity. We… were inspired.<br />

Sometimes... it seems that my car doesn't like me. I know that's not true, but our adversary is always active in our Apostolic Journeys. Thanks to the love of a brother our car's engine was in tip top shape. Yet, the engine's cooling system wasn't. We 'boiled over three times. First time we broke down, we took the thermostat out of the engine... and yes... that bright green liquid is our coolant.<br />

We started up the mountain again and ... it boiled over again.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We went back down the mountain and adjusted the fan to spin with the engine ...<br />

So we stopped at the top of the mountain and ate a goat lunch. We then called our mechanic in Nakuru, who said he would come to us right away (a one hour drive) and bring another radiator. <span style="text-align: center;">He came ... and alas... the radiator he brought wouldn't fit, so he said ..."Just take my car, and I'll drive your's back to Nakuru and fix it". Wow... thank you Jesus. His car was a newer mini van and we were so grateful that we could continue to Kamagut. </span><br />

Driving home we blessed our King for His bringing us together and thanked Him for the safe journey home. And... thank you Gordon, Robin and Paul for making this trip possible. By the way, we got our car back and its in the best condition ever.<br />
Pray for us as we labor to advance the Kingdom and bring His family together.David Noah Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05574301519420938787noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516702383762352347.post-28141303670307250602017-04-11T02:20:00.000-05:002017-04-11T02:51:05.748-05:00Recovery...The battle continues…<br />
<br />
Our last Facebook post was ill named ‘Tragedy and Spiritual Warfare’… It should have been entitled …’Opportunity and Spiritual Warfare’. Sometimes it’s a matter of choosing a perspective. If you don’t believe that anything that befalls you, must first obtain our Father’s permission, then many adverse things that happen, ends up feeling and even being… tragic. Yet, if you believe that all things work together for your good, then life and it’s difficulties become training sessions.<br />
<br />
Having a few days to recover from the shock of the fire … what appeared as a ‘tragedy’ … has now become to us (by our Father’s grace)… a divine opportunity. Nakuru church family met this Sunday with Keptembwa under two tents. Keptembwa members were having a fundraiser after their Sunday gathering, in order to obtain funds for a larger meeting place and invited Nakuru to join them. Representatives from our other church families Engasura, Njoro, were also present to help Keptembwa with the fundraiser.<br />

As we spoke to the Nakuru members about the future, we began to realize the blessing of the fire. The Nakuru family had been trying to see how they could move to a less expensive place in order to save money for purchasing some land and avoid wasting our money on rent. Yet, everyone was fearful and hesitant about moving the building and facing the challenges that the move would no doubt bring.<br />

Now, after the fire … we know our Father’s heart, is for us to move to the land currently being used at StoneHouse Academy. We can use the school buildings to meet in and only pay half the rent. This will allow us to save funds for our own place and then rebuild. Everyone was excited and unanimously agreed that this was the path chosen for us by our Father. All of us rejoiced.<br />

As we began to talk about being like the children of Israel and that it was not a time to grumble and complain, but to encourage one another, the excitement grew. And so did our adversary’s fury. A sudden violent wind hit our tents and lifted them six feet in the air. The side poles and the heavy iron roof structure began falling everywhere. Some women screamed, as the men tried to shield the women and children from injury.<br />

As soon as it started it was over and looking around, we rejoiced that no one was hurt. No one there doubted what had just happened. We know that we are truly in a spiritual war. As we put the tents back together and secured the corners to the fence we rejoiced that no one was seriously injured.<br />

<span class="s1">To all who have stood with us in the ministries of StoneHouse Ministries International. Please pray for us. We have been under heavy spiritual attack. </span>Last Sunday at StoneHouse Nakuru, was our best Gathering ever. All the members of Nakuru Church, pledged themselves to revealing the testimony of the Kingdom. We believe that our Father heard them. Unfortunately the enemy of our souls was listening as well.<br />

<span class="s1">The day before yesterday, thieves tried to break in StoneHouse Sewing Center and steal our sewing machines. It was foiled because the lady we rent from, woke up at 1:00 a.m. in the morning and screamed, hearing the thieves trying to break in. Her screams alerted the neighbors who chased the two men off who were attempting the robbery. </span></div>

The quick moving fire destroyed six homes beside ours, and later, we found out that three of the neighborhood children were locked in one of those houses with no one watching them. Thanks to our God, the neighbors broke the door down and rescued them before they were killed by the fire.<br />

Yet, we know that all things work for our good and are praising our Father for what he will do. We too can say... "It is well with our soul". Pray that we hear clearly as to what to do next. We know our people will have to pull together now and we feel this will build them up spiritually.<br />

The Nakuru church is where all our SMI meetings took place, like conferences and leaders meetings and this calamity will definitely create some hardship.<br />

We will need to rebuild our gathering place. Our people have taken in our caretaker's family and we are sure there will be some good hearted readers who will help us take care of her needs. We are just so grateful that they were spared. (That's Elizabeth in the middle of the ladies sitting down and her sister Zippy on her left who took her into her house. Zippy is a widow with 2 children.)<br />

<span class="s1">To all our Family and Friends both here and abroad… Happy New Year and blessings to you for you’re prayers, concern, love and support. Two thousand and sixteen was a good and prosperous year for StoneHouse Ministries International. Much of our ministry this year has been as a result of the behind the scenes work, of our our newly formed board of directors. Without their organizational and administrative help we might still be walking in circles. May the Lord continue to bless all they do for us. </span></div>

<span class="s1">By the grace of our King, we have doubled (from five to ten) our number of church families. These are not just ‘Sunday go to meeting’ people, but people who have asked to be made disciples of our King. And we are actively training their leaders to make them just that. </span></div>

Our other ministries have also continued to grow as we equip the Kenyan brethren to do the work of the ministry. Our vision and heart have always been to make them self-sustaining-servants and not always do the work ourselves or cause them to be dependent on us. This has not been the easiest of tasks, but we are making progress. All our churches take care of most of their own needs, though they are very poor. People from each church family are being trained to take care of their youth, check on one another and reach out to their neighbors. </div>

In some cases, beyond what we thought we could endure, and yet we were never without the solace and strength of the blessed Spirit of God.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Outward spiritual battles can sometimes be fierce here in Kenya, but never as exacting as the ones fought within ourselves. Other people’s failures, never cause us such despair… as do our own. No ignorance …willful or not.. causes us more frustration than our own. No half-heartedness, no passivity, no display of the flesh, no lack of spiritual judgement, insight, foresight or hindsight causes us more grief … than our own. </span></span></div>

I know many of you feel the same way. Yet, thanks to our righteous King… we face this new year with a hope born of a promise to each of us… and that hope delivers. That hope is this.. that no matter how we fail, fall or faint… we are… always in His hands … always. Let us go out into 2017 with joy! Read Isaiah 52:12</span></span><br />

<span class="s1">First 2016 Apostolic Journey- Part 2</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We awoke at sunrise, took showers and prepared for breakfast at a brother’s house that would soon become our host for the entire three days we were in Wamba. His wife, Faith, turned out to be a great cook and fed us well the entire time we were there.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Njeroge (our brother driver) had wanted, throughout the entire journey, for the car to reflect the trip and get good and grimy before we returned. He wouldn’t submit to any of our request to wash the outside of the car, but four guys for three days, left the inside noticeably gross. So when we arrived at Wamba, he asked one of night watchman at our hotel to clean the inside of the car. Not the outside. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">When we awoke that morning, the car inside… and outside… was immaculate. Njeroge sighed. Then we decided to assess the damage done to the car while traveling over the rough road. It was somewhat extensive. There was a broken spring, lost battery cap which allowed acid to splash all over everything under the hood, several grommets missing in the suspension system and other minor problems. Yet, we thanked God that nothing was serious enough to stop us from continuing our journey or traveling home. So we all felt pretty blessed. And because our Father loves Njeroge, He let the car get good and grimy traveling through the mud on the way home.</span></div>

As we walked to town for coffee, we enjoyed viewing the local inhabitants dressed in traditional garments. The young man with the spike hairdo is a Samburu Moran warrior and not a punk rocker. They have dressed like that for centuries. (Sorry, rockers there’s nothing new under the sun) <span class="s1"></span></div>

Following our short visit with Sara, we continued straightaway to the house of Kennedy Lesowapir. Kennedy is a man that James mentored during the seven years he lived in Wamba as a missionary. Kennedy had spent some time with us in Nakuru and had expressed interest in being with StoneHouse Ministries, thus our visit to Wamba. </div>

Kennedy has two precious little girls. Though, it was hard to know which children were his, because of the many neighborhood children always in his house.

When we returned to town we met with some wazee (Elderly men) and watched them play a neat game called 'Ndotoi' . This game can become very intense and everyone seemed to love playing.

<span class="s1">Many thanks for all who took the time to pray for our first 2016 apostolic journey to North and East Kenya. The trip took us to a Tanzania border town as well and our Father truly answered your prayers. </span></div>

Doug, my friend from America, James, Njeroge and myself would be on the road for the next six days. </span></div>

Because I had been sick all of last week, I was encouraged to remain sleeping in the hotel room while my dear brothers took Cynthia to catch her plane to America, for a month long visit with friends and family. (And yes, I am already counting the hours till she returns). Returning to the hotel and after a couple more hours of sleep we arose, scarfed down some coffee and donuts and hit the road. <span class="s1"></span></div>

Our first destination was Namanga, located on the Tanzania border about 3 hours due south of Nairobi. There, we met with a wonderful man called Moses Olemukenga. James has known Moses for some years and could testify of his integrity in following Christ. Moses works for a Matatoo company coordinating their trips and scheduling departure times. <span class="s1"></span></div>

The following morning we headed back to Nairobi to visit an amazing man called Francis. Francis has been visiting with us for about a year and had become interested in joining the StoneHouse team. After a brief but stunning meeting, we all decided to combine forces under StoneHouse, to bring the Kingdom message and discipleship training to three other groups of people.<br />

<span class="s1">One of those groups is located in the interior of Uganda. We feel Francis will be among the first men sent out to establish our church families. He definitely has an apostolic gift. Sorry… we were so excited about all that transpired, we forgot to take any pictures.</span></div>

<span class="s1">After delicious lunch of nyama choma (goat meat), we traveled to Embu to visit James’s sister and husband who live in Embu, located at the foot of the beautiful Mt. Kenya. Some of you may have remembered our last visit to their amazing little 3/4 acre farm last year. On the way there we stopped to experience this beautiful ‘natural bridge’ found in that area.</span></div>

After a good night’s sleep we awoke to a huge breakfast, thanks to the wonderful hospitality of Milkeh. Before we took off for Meru, Milkeh took us on a tour of the slaughter house she works for.

The trip was long and the last fifty kilometers could hardly be called a road. As soon as we turned off the highway … the land, the animals and the people became almost surreal. All along the road we observed the Morans. These are the young warriors and trust me they can be quite intimidating while brandishing their knives and spears. <span class="s1"></span></div>

But, making a living in the largest slum area in Nakuru is never easy. Recently, his wife, who also works a full time job, became sick and the bills accumulated quickly. Not being able to maintain the rent, Michael made an agreement with a man to buy (over time) a small plot (25’ by 40’) in which he is currently building a mud house to accommodate his family. <span class="s1"></span></div>

Although they have known each other for quite some time, three weeks ago Rose and Geoffrey surrendered their lives to our King and were baptised into HIs Kingdom. The couple’s desire was to begin their life together as disciples of Christ. For all of the StoneHouse family… their baptism was the beginning of their wedding.</div>

<span class="s1">This is a story about a faithful servant of God who has given her all to the work of the Kingdom. Rising above each challenging occasion she went above and beyond the call of duty… not caring for herself but sacrificially giving … all that she had. At only 28 years old she had attained, in our hearts and minds, the prestigious title of … ‘Indispensable’ . </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Now … let it be known that we understand that in Kenya, servants of her kind must be able to ‘take a licking and keep on ticking’ . They must be able to bear burdens they were not ‘designed’ to bear. </span></div>

Although he had to leave shortly after we arrived, it was good to spend a few minutes with this wonderfully crazy man of God. We hope to connect with him again soon. For more about this precious man of God and his adventures advancing the Kingdom of God… visit him on Facebook. Here’s the link…<span class="s1"></span></div>

<span class="s1">Their response was very encouraging as both men an women said how much they desperately needed what was being taught. John Gilbert Osur, the hosting pastor, said that his attendance last year during the A.S.A. (African Shepherds Alliance) seminars in Nakuru, had completely changed his understanding of God and empowered his church to grow. They made us promise to return the first of next year and promised to bring every church leader they could find to the next seminar.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Perhaps no one will understand, or even think we've lost
our minds, but yesterday, February twenty six two thousand and fifteen, on a cool and crisp Kenyan morning, the sunrise spoke to us of the return of
Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">We want to share this experience with you, through these pictures we took, over a span of just under thirty minutes. It is not our intention for this to be taken as some visionary
statement or eschatology</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> prophesy. It was just a love note from our Heavenly Father, to some people who revere Him and are looking for His Son's return. Take it however you will. So... here goes! <span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This morning James and I had to drive out to Solid Rock
Christian Community to bring some supplies and breakfast fixings, to our beloved
brothers who are working on our land. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">James’s children Caleb, Blessed and Jeroge’s son Chege (who
also happen to be some of my favorite Kenyan grandchildren) were out of school,
so we took them along. We were up and moving at six A.M. and arrived on our
land just before sunrise and… well…. experienced something spiritual. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">When we arrived at the work site, we were surprised at how cool
it was. It had to be at least fifteen degrees cooler at the higher elevation than
where we live in Ponda Mali. Our apartment is only fifteen minutes away. Although there was enough
light to see, everything seemed to be so cold… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

spiritual was about to happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Community. We've been working very hard almost every day and have accomplished
an amazing amount of work, with a surprising small amount of money and in a
relative short time. Just to give you a short picture, here is what we have done so far. </span>First of all we have only one and a half more payments to go, till we have
completely paid the property off. </div>

run the pipes and connect us to city water for about $385.00 American dollars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptism. (Acts 18:24, 25)</span></div>

Let me introduce to you two of our hard working men.…Karanja of Kamwaura and Amos of Engasura. Both are becoming
leaders of God’s households and builders of the Kingdom, one in Kamwaura and one
in Engasura.</div>

Karanja is a stone mason with over 30 years experience. When
Karanja found out we were wanting to build a Christian community, he asked if
he could be of help.</div>

Karanja is also the overseer of our church in Kamwaura. His
passion and love for God’s people are absolutely inspiring. He and his precious
wife have hungered for the revelation of God’s church for years. The people of
this small but powerful church have become some of the most giving Christian’s
we’ve ever known in Kenya.</div>

After visiting us and our churches, Amos asked if we would

himself to be a man wholly dedicated to advancing the Kingdom of God in Africa.</div>

Six months later after watching this young man’s dedication

These are men with both calloused hands and sweating love. They
are not just workers… they are our brothers and friends. Supporting them in
this work helps them to minister in their respective churches. They represent some of the ‘New Priests’ our Father is

They are earnest, hardworking, godly men of God!</div>

For those who have never heard of the ‘Ingathering’, let me
offer a brief description. The ‘Ingathering’ is a celebration of a Christian disciple’s corporate
Life in Christ. It reminds us that we are not just isolated individuals or churches scattered across the globe, but rather, we are a chosen generation, a
distinctive people and a holy nation, living in the midst of this present world.
<i>(1 Peter 2:9).</i> It is a celebration of
our Unity.</div>

Hence, over two decades ago we determined there would be
nothing in this celebration but what would honor the ruler of that Holy Nation.
So once a year, all who believe, come together for a holy festival and spiritual fellowship. </div>

Normally this event takes place the first weekend in October
and corresponds to the Jewish Feast of Booths. But due to the Kenyan culture,
the first week in December is the only time children and adults have enough free
time to participate here in Kenya. This pictorial post is about our first
Ingathering celebration. So, as they say here in Kenya … sit back, relax and enjoy!</div>

Then the time came for brothers to pray over the one who
would give his all for our feast and thank him for his ultimate sacrifice. Then
they prepared him for the feast. Nothing, and I mean nothing … of his sacrifice
was wasted. Have you ever tasted goat brain soup?</div>

A while back, one of my best friends who is somewhat of an
expert on early church history, told me that the early church called the waters
of baptism … ‘The Waters of Life’.</div>

For almost a year and a half we at StoneHouse have been
looking for a place to baptize our disciples. There is nothing in the Nakuru
area that is suitable for baptisms. We have used a swimming pool in the past
but that was never our first choice. We wanted rushing waters surrounded by our
Father’s beautiful creation. Last weekend … our Father showed us where it was. This
is the story.</div>

Last week we decided to visit our newest church family in the
rural community of Kamwaura. They were waiting for us with open arms. Our time together was so wonderful… as usual. They are so
poor in the things of this world, but rich in the ways of the Kingdom. I asked the responsible brother there if he knew where we
could baptize people. He smiled and said that after the Gathering he would take
us to a place he thought we would love… and he was so right.</div>

This is the third and final segment of a three part
pictorial post, describing our trip to the Massai Mara. The trip consisted of
our participation in a graduation ceremony at ‘Threads of Hope’ sewing school.
This wonderful facility is run by a good friend of ours Deborah Deren. While we
were there, we also spoke to a small local a group of Massai about seeing the
Body of Christ formed in them. Here are a few of the six hundred and fifty
pictures we took. It was definitely a surreal experience.</div>

Another unexpected blessing happened to us. We were given a
new motorcycle for our ministry. This gift
will greatly aid our StoneHouse ministers to travel about and teach in our
other churches. The next morning we loaded up our motorcycle and headed home.</div>

Even the trip home was wonderful. We witnessed a huge dust
devil and a beautiful rainstorm that testified of our Father’s creativity .</div>

We also unfortunately experienced a spark plug blow out, because our
mechanic in Nakuru had forgotten to tighten it down. Fifteen miles later, driving
at less than 25 mph, we finally found a mechanic who fixed us up and sent us on
our way. No wonder the gas mileage was terrible. Still not bad for a 27 year old car. We reached home exhausted but very happy.</div>

Thanks for taking the time to share our journey, Please remember to pray for StoneHouse Ministries, that we would have the strength

Why do we do this? Because people who desire to follow
Christ, deserve to see why He came to this earth and see what abundant Life really looks like. Living the Life
of the Body of Christ is awesome!</div>
