Miracles of Mercy!! — Commission Mankind

Dear Friends and Family of CMK,

God is better than anyone can imagine!

We are just now trying to process all God has done since we have been here in Kenya and we are completely AMAZED!

God has gone before us and all your prayers have gone before us and He has made a way in the wilderness.

God has done AMAZING things:

Over 3,700 school children have given their hearts to Jesus
406 people have been baptized and committed their lives to Jesus
10 Villages now have Clean Water Well Distribution Systems
Over 50,000 people now have access to free clean water (not counting future generations)

And this is only the beginning of all God is doing!

PRAYER POINTS:

>> God has given us a vision for 60 Wells next year!

>> He’s enlarging our vision to include planting 100 churches.

>> We're believing God for the purchase of land and building of a base for Commission Mankind in Nyaani, Kenya

Our Kenyan pastor, Reverend Benson, has already planted churches in Kenya and he’s been given land at many of the well sites and will be helping oversee the planting of churches in these areas.

We can’t wrap our minds around the ways of God! All we know is that His ways are so much BETTER and BIGGER than ours.

Here's the verses God gave us for the Well Celebrations:

“Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord!

Here’s why—he’s better than anyone could ever imagine.

Yes, he’s always loving and kind, and his faithful love never ends.

So, go ahead—let everyone know it!

Tell the world how he broke through

and delivered you from the power of darkness and

has gathered us together from all over the world.

He has set us free to be his very own!

Some of us once wandered in the wilderness like desert nomads,

with no true direction or dwelling place.

Starving, thirsting, staggering,
we became desperate and filled with despair.

Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did!

He led us out by the right way
until we reached a suitable city to dwell in.

So lift your hands and thank God for his marvelous kindness

and for all his miracles of mercy for those he loves.

How he satisfies the souls of thirsty ones

and fills the hungry with goodness!”

Psalm 107: 1-9 in The Passion Translation

GOD'S MIRACLES OF MERCY

We thank God for His marvelous kindness and His miracles of mercy. We have seen many miracles this year and we know there’s more to come.

I’ll never forget the day our prayer teams were doing door to door evangelism in one of the villages and Legend came running up to me, excitement in his voice, “Mom, you have to come see this! A woman who could hardly see can now see clearly after we prayed for her! I’ve seen a miracle!” We have seen another woman also have her sight restored, a man healed from the effects of a stroke and a lump of tissue on a child’s foot go down. We have seen demons flee in Jesus’ Name and many men addicted to alcohol choosing to repent and be baptized. What God has done is truly miraculous and we are in Awe of Him!

GOD'S MARVELOUS KINDESS

This year, God has also been fulfilling many of the visions He gave us. One in particular was igniting a generation to be laborers in the harvest fields of the Lord, on mission for Jesus. 33 people have traveled from the U.S. to join us in short term missions. Many brought their entire families with them and it’s a joy to see families serving together! It’s incredible to witness these servant-hearted people stepping out in faith and giving of themselves to show the love of Jesus.

We can’t say enough about the full time team God has sent here as well. Johanna Puls, Michael Perez, and Nickson Mzigaba have served tirelessly and have laid their lives down for Jesus moment by moment and through all kinds of challenges. John Duot Duong, the man who runs the TOM Narus orphanage in war torn South Sudan, also joined us for a month. What an honor to serve with them. They are the real deal! Jesus is on display in their lives!

THANK YOU for your prayers and for all your support!

We are strengthened by you, all of us being members of One Body with Jesus as our Head. He's a GOOD SHEPHERD and He leads us well. He turns the barren desert into streams of life!!

+ If you or your church would like to sponsor a well, please consider also sending a team to minister at the well site! The Harvest is HERE!

Love in Christ Jesus,
