A great and Mighty God, doing amazing things in the Earth today, seems to be the theme as God takes REACH Ministries into the third month of 2025.
This February was no exception. God has been calling his church to repent, rise up, and take their rightful place as ambassadors, as soul winners, as the overcoming body of Christ they were created to be. He has said in many ways throughout the teaching this year in no uncertain terms that the time of the lukewarm church has come to an end, and the age of the triumphant return of Jesus the King of Kings is at hand! God has given us a tremendous opportunity and response in the high schools this month, visiting four before the mid-term break and a wonderful vocational school at the YMCA campus during the break! We were also able to donate three laptops to the computer lab at the YMCA, thanks to the generous donations of our ministry partners. We are thankful for those who God has called to support this ministry.
We had the door open up for prison ministry, visiting Kibos correctional facility and speaking to 500 inmates (they refer to them as clients) with 51 salvations. A wonderful testimony from the prison visit came the next day when the Chaplin Raphael told me that one of the clients came to him and gave his heart to the Lord Jesus. Praise God for His amazing timing!
He said he had already decided before we came and visited that he was going to kill someone so that he would be killed in the process, committing suicide. After hearing the teaching/testimonies of the REACH team, he knew in his heart that God was calling him, and he could not go through with the suicide!!! God is so good!
This month also gave us the opportunity to preach the gospel in six churches: one in Awasi, Mawego, three in Kisumu, and one in Nairobi! We were able to hold a men’s and women’s conference at TMLT and squeezed in a visit with the children at the Ekeonga school/orphanage. Work is going well with a completed "dried in" roof and finishing work being done on the final floor.
Somehow, Cleo found time (we are so proud of her) to take two adventures into the Kenyan social worker's field.
Working with Rose, she assisted with assessments on widows and single mothers faced with raising children as they struggle with HIV/AIDS and other debilitating physical, mental, and social challenges. God has been doing a great work in the hearts of men and women everywhere we go. Transforming lives by the power of His word.
We at REACH Ministries count it an honor and joy to be serving God in the developing nations of the earth. We are following God, bringing hope to the church and the lost in this current age. We are uplifted by your support, encouragement, and the love you all show us as we work together! Thank you for making our outreach, lives, and ministry possible through your partnership!
As always, please keep us in your prayers for souls, safety, travel mercies, outreach, funding, and God's protection as we enter into the heavier witchcraft and Muslim regions on the coast of Kenya.
Love you and pray that God will bless you and keep you until we meet again.
Richard, Julie, Jim, & Cleo
