The Public Testimony of Jesus Christ

My oldest daughter Elisa received an amazing ability to write songs that touch hearts.  In spite of this gifting, Elisa never seemed to be able to speak in public.  Every time she was asked to say something, it seemed like she couldn't put three words together.  Yesterday Elisa preached for the first time.  The setting wasn't ideal.  Katana stopped the van in the middle of a dirt road.  Rose Jeffa got out and began to sing.  A crowd soon gathered, and then Elisa sang and shared her testimony.

The quality of the following video is pretty terrible, it was taken with my not-very-smartphone. Everything sounded much better live.  Many people were touched by the Lord.

After stopping here for about one hour, we moved on to the center of Mtwapa. here the crowd was much rougher, many drunks and prostitutes.   After Elisa sang, and Rose and  I preached, there was a real heartfelt reaction from the crowd.   Many people were touched by the Lord and began to  call upon his name.The police came, trying to stop the meeting because our permits weren't in order.  Nevertheless, many people experienced the presence of the Lord and received His word.

It has been a long time since I participated in this type of ministry in Africa.  I must say that I enjoyed it.  There was no need for advertisements, and the ministry didn't really cost much at all.  Yet many people who would not step into a church were reached.  May God give us grace to find ways to participate in the public testimony of Jesus Christ in Europe and America also.
