Kenya Team Reflection

Thanks again for all the support - financially and through prayer. The prayers were heard and God's provision was evident. As church members and the community was gathered together the night before we left to thank us and send us of, one of the pastors of a local church talked about the importance of water.

He said water brings life to a community. That without water, people are forced to send most of their day fetching water. People are left in filth. Plants die. Animals die. People die. That bringing water to a community truly brings life. He was able to share how this small group in Migori county was given life when the well was drilled. The community was grateful.

Then he compared that water with the Gospel. How Jesus is like that water. That when Jesus is brought to a community, Jesus brings life.
It was a profound statement that I have been thinking about ever since. As someone who was raised in the church and have been in relationship with Jesus nearly my whole life, I was struck by the metaphor. Watching a community literally go from desperation to hope, from dying to living, just because of water. Then to have that compared so clearly with Jesus and His Spirit.  

NewLife - let us not live as if we don't have water or don't have enough. Let us not live a life as if we are not provided for when in reality God promises us that He will provide and demonstrates it.

Let us not live a life that misses the power of having Jesus in our lives and community. Jesus brings us life! Let us celebrate it. We have a community service this Sunday at 10:30. Let us celebrate and worship of Lord and Savior as a community because it is Christ who brings us life. We were once dead but have been saved. Receive that - think on that and rejoice in that.

Blessings brothers and sisters,
Kyle
