"His merciful kindness is great toward us", "He delights in mercy", "It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom".

God is so good. We have a wonderful time of prayer this morning. I got out there a few minutes after 5:00 and there was already many people there. I talked briefly about how Satan is overcome by the word of our testimony (Rev. 12:10-11) and then we spent time praising the Lord. One mze who has made a decision for baptism stood up and said that he praised the Lord for the meetings because he has been brought out of darkness and into the light. Tears came to my eyes.

I praise the Lord for the efforts of Jackson, I think that his preaching and visiting in the week before I came has really made an impact. During the prayer time while someone was praying in swahili one of the things I prayed silently for was that the Lord would show me who to leave my clothes with. Afterwards Jacobo came with Tuamini who is the young masai who Jacobo encouraged to make a decision yesterday. Jacobo said that he is looking forward to being baptized but that he did not have any clothes to wear. I thanked the Lord for His answer and we came back to my room and I gave the boy a suit, shirt, tie, socks, and and undershirt. He seemed very happy. What a privilege to give. Praise the Lord.
