| We have much to share, but all cannot be put in writing;
especially the doings of the Lord in our ministry. We have seen God as a
very faithful God in all His promises. Kenya is experiencing revival times. Trinitarian churches are turning to oneness. On Feb 2006, the VLS ministry together with Pentecostal Apostolic church, and Recine Apostolic church of U.S.A went to Western Kenya after Pastor Philip Cooper through his assistant Pastor Robert Cassaday wrote to VLS Through Pastor Winter requesting us to accompany them to Western Kenya where more than 50 churches accepted this truth and were ready to obey Acts 2:38. So we had a good time to teach them the whole truth. Our annual Pastors meeting was such an encouragement, we got a very good report of the growth and new developments; just to mention a few things. As from the month of January 2006, we cannot ignore what the Lord has done in our churches. We have more open doors; Pastors are joining our ministry as ministering pastors and this is encouraging us very much, the Lord has added 30 souls in His body 20 of them has received the holy Ghost .I have witnessed people receiving the Holy Ghost with initial signs of speaking in tongues. It is awesome! On 15th to 18th we had a wonderful open-air meeting at Ruiru V.L.S under Pastor Felix Ochieng, the gospel was really preached. We are expecting a big harvest from that place, as the Lord has shown us. Kangemi V.L.S under Pastor Murima baptized 5 souls; they are still praying for the Holy Ghost. 2 has received ,This is a very new branch for it just started a few months ago and it is coming up very well, the paying of the church hall is the only issue that is a burden for them due to their small number. But he has a big heart for the work. This year we have a number of crusades and revival meetings and as long as the Lord provides us with enough funds, the following meetings will surely be done! April 14, 15, and 16 we will be having a three days open-air meeting at a place called MERU and this will the first time we are taking this truth to this area, it is about 180 miles away from Nairobi, we have been invited by one Pastor and his church to preach and teach them. This trip is costing us much and we are trusting God to provide with enough funds so that we can do this work efficiently; for we have the word and the anointing. After this meeting, the VLS will holding a youth conference at May 5,6,7 2006..our youth are the future of this ministry and we must equipped them well with the truth à.we must prepare them for the challenges ahead of them. June we are proposing to have more meetings and revivals but the dates are not confirmed. August We normally have one or two ministry activities, either a conference or a seminar (dates not confirmed) October We shall be having a crusade and a revival meeting, we have left it open so that the date can be agreed upon by the VLS Board as the Lord provides. December We shall have another big meeting; by faith all depend on availability of funds. We can have as many meetings as the Lord would provide. Our prayer and desires is the Lord to send us more covenant ministry partners in missions to easy a bit and tighten some loose ends. This work is more demanding than ever before THE HOLY GHOST MISSION I know saying "The Holy Ghost mission" needs to be explained. In Kenya we have 42 different tribes. One of them is called "KAMBA TRIBE" There has been a long standing history of witchcraft. It is one of their survival games and for this reason many Pentecostal churches does not reach them with the gospel. Originally ANGLICAN AND CATHOLIC ,SALVATION ARMY, AIC dominates them, all are not Pentecostals., One Sunday morning, I was passing at their bus stage on my way to church and I heard a voice to preach to them, and actually I did obey and the following Sunday I was there by 8.00am because they clear from the stage at around 10.30am. I did preached to them the whole truth, believe me, I felt the spirit of God was working and they responded very well and it is very encouraging; as you can see the photos, I feel like continuing until the Lord stops me. The truth has never been preached to these people; they need the truth of ONE GOD and Acts :38 messages. Pastor Samuel was with me, Pastor Joseph Muchiri, Pastor John Ndigirigi all are VLS ministers. We are working together for this great Kamba mission. We handed over to them some of the few tracks we had and we had to photocopy in order for us to reach as many souls. Please pray with us and if the Lord touches you, send us some more tracks especially for baptism in Jesus Name and of One God in the flesh. Our vision is to go to Kamba land and hold a crusade as the Lord will allow and provide. The Lord is going to open the door! We appreciate you very much.
