African Christian Mission International

The IMA conference dabbed “Holy Spirit in Missions” had the theme this year: “In step with the Spirit” from Galatians 5:25. This majored mainly on giving, forgiving, healing and hope. Delegates arrived promptly on Thursday 12th August at 5.30pm to commence the conference that lasted till Saturday evening. The host delegates, Bishop. Dr. Henry Mulandi, Rev. Dr. Kennedy Mbatia and Bishop. Phillip Okeyo welcomed the guests. Delegates came from Asia, North America, Latin America and Africa. This conference was the 14th ever since the meetings started.
In addition to the teachings that were done both excellently and differently from each other, there were powerful moments of worship, moving testimonies, prayer, workshops, a time of interaction, giving of reports from various countries and praise. Notable among these were the prayer times, where delegates prayed for the entire world being led by the countries’ representatives. Those that were unrepresented were also remembered in prayer. It was beautiful to pray in the native languages from these countries.

The conference ended on Sunday 15th August as delegates joined Christian Church International Thika in celebrating thirty years. The out-going IMA president, Richard Showalter, was the speaker in the service.

A couple missionaries were commissioned during the service and prayers offered for them as they prepare to go to Asia.

IMA missions started thereafter, in Kithyoko and Ol Donyo Sabuk.

IMA missions

Donyo Sabuk Mission started on Sunday night, with a revival meeting at CCI Syumbuni.

Monday and Tuesday there was door to door evangelism in the mornings and crusades (open air meetings) in the afternoons. From 7-9pm, we held revival meetings. During the mission, a total of 44 people gave their lives to Christ.

It was an awesome experience in God’s Presence.

Kithyoko-Mission
We travelled to Kithyoko on Sunday afternoon and after a few minutes of losing our way; we finally got to the crusade ground, at Nzalae centre, at around 7pm. With no lights, we kicked off the meeting using headlights of one of our vehicle, as we looked with awe, at the waiting crowd. The meeting ran till 10.00pm
Monday and Tuesday mornings found us in the Deliverance Church-Nzalae, for morning devotion and a time of worship that ran till 12 noon. We then left to do house-to-house evangelism till 3pm. We visited two different places during the two days, and one of those days we visited a witchdoctors house and a member of the family got saved.
We had open air meetings on Monday and Tuesday both starting at 5.30pm. These meetings saw people get saved, others get delivered and others prayed for. About 21 people got saved during the mission.
Tuesday being our last day, we held an evening meeting running from 8.-1130pm which majorly involved a re-dedication of the church pastor and the entire leadership of the Deliverance church, as the missionaries said their goodbyes. Wednesday was the departure day where the missionaries prayed with the hospitality team and blessed them especially since they were not able to attend meetings with the others.

AND NOW… some more good news!

We are celebrating the safe arrival of baby Hetal Wairimu Gichuhi, Daughter to our media head, Anngladys Gichuhi. We thank God that they are both healthy, strong and both look great! God bless them and continue to watch over them.
Congratulations!
