Today was the second day of the conference in Kapkoros. I started the afternoon session by going through John chapter 21. I discussed the truth that Jesus will meet you where you are at, but he will not leave you there.
After lunch, Pastor Otoo and his sister began to share and minister. Their teaching focused on dealing with the sin in your life to experience the full blessings of God. During this time Scott and our driver John Juma arrived. As we entered into the late afternoon, Pastor Otoo entered into a time of ministering in prayer. As he was starting this time, a heavy rain storm moved in and the sound of the rain became deafening. We paused for a few moments and then continued on with the prayer ministry. Many came forward seeking prayer for sickness, release from ancestor worship and many other problems.
Our driver had to move his vehicle from the church because the mud had become so slippery. As we walked towards the main road after the service, each of us nearly fell on the slick mud. When we got to the road, we found that our driver was not at the expected meeting point, so we called for another pastor to come and get us. This was my second occasion of being stranded on an African road at night. At least this time I was around people I knew.
Today was also what would have been my dad’s 71st birthday. I found myself thanking the Lord often for his life and praying for my mother to be comforted today.
