SUNDAY AND MONDAY AT MITS

FRANCIS MBUVI REPORTS:


We had a blast at Church yesterday. I had 32 in my morning class and the sharing was just nice. Lucy Wambui shared that sometimes she is like the seed that fell on the path because she hears the word and

knows it is right but a few minutes after church she will have forgotten. Others shared too and it was a blessed time. In Church we looked at Mark 4, and it was mostly focusing on how we should be attentive to God's word. BFTS and the girls and the praise team all sang for the church - very encouraging.


Titus Mutiso did a small talk and said for me to greet you.


This morning we were led in choruses and the whole chapel was on fire. I wished Darlene was there coz I know how much she loves those. Katera and Andrew are here from China and they are loving it.


We did have a wonderful time on Monday with the street mothers. They were 35 with their children. It started with games and they really like one that is called “Kabuti” - the leader will call a name and they all respond then all of a sudden will be asked to turn. If you are facing the wrong side then you’ll be asked to go out of

the game until we find the winner. We have been getting winners in all types of games and reward them with different kind of gifts such as toothpaste and soap.


This Monday’s lesson was about learning the names of God, with the introduction of God’s names in Hebrew. It’s exciting to say the names and pray to God with those names. We started with ADONAY which means Lord, Master. We read about Moses who was a servant of God and we too are his servants and we pray to him like Moses did. We also learned that we should fully trust him, and we saw how God asked Moses to go to Egypt and rescue his people and even as he calls him ADONAY he still did have doubts. God told him to use the rod he has in his hands, but Moses continued to say he did not know how to speak. So God gave him someone to speak for him.


We asked God for forgiveness for the times in our lives we call him ADONAY but still don’t trust that he is able and he is our LORD and MASTER.


One of the mothers came later and asked me to give her a Hebrew name of God as a healer so that she would go and pray for her son to the God of healing.


The mothers in this program are growing spiritually which is so encouraging as they are learning that God is great and they are putting their trust in Him.


Next week we’ll learn about another name.
