Focus Verse: Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Ten years ago Interlocking Ministries (based in the US) along with Bethesda Faith Ministries (based in Kenya) began holding Christian camps for the students in Western Kenya near Lake Victoria. We never could have imagined how God would use these camps to touch so many lives. Over these past ten years we have seen God reach over 20,000 Kenyan students who attended the camps. Thousands of these students have trusted Christ for salvation and made commitments to True Love Says Wait, a sexual purity program.
Many years ago God told me to take the Gospel to Kenya. So I got on an airplane and I went because I remembered the verse in the Bible that says “go and make disciples of all the nations.” Maybe you are not able to get on an airplane and go half way around the world to tell someone about Jesus, but we have neighbors who need to hear. We all work with other people that need to hear. We all buy products from other people that need to hear. As I write this devotion God has expanded the camps in Kenya to a new area on the island of Rusinga in Lake Victoria. There are 500 students in Christian camps there this week. This is all part of what Jesus told us to do 2,000 years ago. Take the Gospel to every nation and make disciples. We will do this until God calls us home to heaven. It is not because we are smart or clever, but it is God who is powerful and doing the work in the hearts of people.
Will you join us in spreading the Gospel?
