Let them know you, Lord!
I wanted to send out a follow up to the last blog that I posted.
I shared a story about one of the teams that I mobilized. This team went to Kenya and were asked to go into a village and do ministry. This team had a lot of opposition because the village had been in a drought and the people there could not understand how a God who loved them would let the crops wither and the animals die. They challenged the team because they knew they had no voice to shard about the Lord if there was no rain. SO, they prayed and they prayed for rain. AND IT RAINED! It rained so much so, their tents and sleeping mats started to float away and they ended up staying in one tiny mud hut all together. God made it rain because he wanted to show them how much He LOVED THEM.
I just mobilized another team and sent them off to Kenya. Three days after arriving in Kenya their Pastor and contact for ministry, sent them straight out into the bush to stay with this same village! They got there and soon found out that this small bush village was in the midst of another drought. To rewind just a little, we tell the story of praying for rain at the training camps to show how God still does crazy things and his crazy love for HIS people. So this new team remembers hearing how the last team just prayed and it rained, so with no hesitation they prayed, and it rained, and rained, all over again! It rained so much that the people i and the pastors there started saying “when AIM comes, the rain comes.”
Now we know that is silly and that God just has his own way of doing things, but I am asking you to pray. Pray for this team, for the leaders, and for the people of this village. I know that God has so much more for these people! This team we just sent out to Kenya will be traveling a bit. I am asking that you pray for the spiritual leaders that are in this village. That they would see and know how good our God is!! That they would no longer be surprised when God shows up. That they would be so captured by the Lord that they could not contain this new life they have found in HIM.
Thanks for praying with me!
Love you all!

Katie!
This is a good reminder that sometimes when we’re going through a drought we just need someone to stand in prayer for us. You’re awesome. And..I like that last picture a lot.
