Grace to you and peace be multiplied .We are so happy to hear that you arrived safely at your place well, we give thanks be to God ,for this love he has to you and us ,we are praying God to take of your health and give you a lot of energy upon your bodies and souls .


We give thanks to the board of the ministry in U.S.A. to allow our beloved brothers to come and hear the wounded hearts and bring them back to life .And as Moses uplifted up the serpent in the wilderness,even so our dear Rev.John and Chad uplifted the son of God here in the nation of Kenya .And many we believe that the word of life to our hearts now as they ministered to us in the congregation .


We also thank God for the entire community ,church believers and well wishers from the USA for the great support for making this trip very successful here in Kenya ,we a lone we couldn’t make it but through your hand of mercy God made the trip very successful .


We can not forget to thank the family of our dear and loving brothers allowing them to come and minister here in our nation ,may God bless their families abundantly .Rev. John and Chad they shared your faith with us and it became very effective by the acknowledgement of every good which is in you in the name of our savior Jesus since we were been like orphans but we have parents now .

Nevertheless, God used our brothers in the first day every one opened their hearts to allow the spirit of God to move into their hearts, how beautiful God is ! for we know that this a stand to our salvation through prayers and the supply of Jesus Christ as they were preaching and teaching the large multitude here in the church .

God is God ! and all His promises are through ,Yes ,wonders and miracles were perfomed by God ,by using our Rev. John and Chad through their preaching’s and teachings the congregation of which more and more members were coming to receive the word of healing from God .And the third day our beloved brothers in one faith prayed for the sick ,the lame and the non believers to confess their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior .


In the second day our dear brother John managed to preach the gospel in my parent’s house where believers and other pastors were gathering and sharing the word of God and he pared for them for everyone `s burdens to be loosened from the chains of Satan .Again the following day they ministered at night in the church which is made of three branches .During the day times we experienced how the spirit of God led among us through their teachings ,blessings and prayers ,and every face smiled of love ,also the same days at night brother Chad minister to some leaders ,on how they should be strong in faith and how one to be called in ministry .


If you could be here you could have seen on how busy our brother Chad and John ,because many wanted to feeded with the word of God ,good teachings and preaching which has broken Satan rooms and build the good foundation in Jesus Christ the son of the living God .

In the Sabbath many came to Jesus ,and the lame kid was being prayed, is something which was not as usual became happy and started playing by shaking head wonderful .

On the same day the orphans shared their love to their fathers Chad and John ,also Rev.John taught them how to speak in English and gave them some of the small balls and sweets ,his children were happy and he shared his love at length Luke 18:16.

On Sunday ,many people come as usual to the church service and two of our brothers gave us heavenly food ,brother John preached first sermon and brother Chad preached last sermon ,therefore ,me walked as we sing to the River and many were baptized in fire (water) for elimination of sins ,and 29 person were baptized in the name of the Father ,the son and the Holy Ghost .Amen .

On Monday we tried to visit three of my churches and they managed to preach ,and encourage the church members to trust Jesus Christ and leaving everything to Him ,many people including old and youth children were happy to hear the word of God .


We hope that God will sustain them and add the years to win the many lost souls as we hope that,the left agap of which they are supposed to fill it by next year.

We give thanks to the board and friends there for your support to our dear brothers and know that we love all of you and whatever you decide to do,do it knowing that you are doing for the lord.Soon and very soon we are going to see the king (Jesus).Give our love to all the saints and tell them we love them and we need them here again.

Subject: Thanks and comments.

Dear Pastor,

First I thank God for coming to visit us here in Kenya and i belief you were blessed as we were blessed from what you taught us from the Bible.
I wish you to include Pastor Samuel in the list I gave you as he has still called to ask for it.
The following are my comments:-


I have indeed been blessed by very much by the word of Gods that you brought to mus which contains the true doctrine of the Bible, God and Jesus Christ Himself and by this let our lord and savior Jesus Christ bless you indeed.

Also Jesus brought you and has connected us with a purpose that the world may see the truth about salvation because what you taught us truly is full of salvation and how to stay in the lord .I thank the lord through you for the mighty work He did by using you to teach the church about the completed work in the cross .I individually was blessed by the teachings concerning Creation, Redemption Sanctification and finally the Lord's prayer.

Also the sermons were a great Revelation to my life as a christian since i was encouraged by what you said concerning a potter and the temptations which comes to us as fire which makes us strong in faith and after that we are able to see Jesus shining in our hearts.

I was encouraged by the sermon which you preached and said that as we travel the christian life there are rocks on the way but we should focus only to Jesus Christ who is the perfecter of everything.
The word of God is pure and the promises given are true i am now able to to come out of any temptation through Him who strengthens me Jesus Christ.

It is my request that my dear brother you come back again to continue to teach us and the churches we have this very good word as we wait for the coming of our lord Jesus Christ.Greet all of our brethren in Jesus name.Amen.



PASTOR DICKSON KENYATTA

It is another good time i want to thank our lord Jesus who has answered our prayers in our country Kenya,Kisii at large through His mighty power He has given His servants from USA pastor Chad and John who have really encouraged us and sharpened us spiritually by teaching us the biblical truths and denying heresy and false teachings.

As they came they started teaching us topics like Creation, Redemption Sanctification and gave sermons as many as they could and by this i saw that desobedience led to the fall of Adam and Eve and thus made us all sinners but by Jesus coming to earth we are redeemed.

 was encouraged to be taught that God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth and this is very powerful .John 4:23-24.

In conclusion i saw the hand of God through our brothers thr5ough the teachings and the sermons they preached and taught us and was encouraged by the yrs of our brother Chad which have given me a challenge that i should serve the lords strongly and without ceasing.Thank you and may you come back again .

Be blessed in the name above all names of Jesus Christ.Amen.


PASTOR CHRISPHERUS MATACHA.

I greet you in the name of Jesus.Brothers i belief that you are doing well in the lord Jesus.I want to give thanks to God who sent you to Kenya and may i say that it is God's hand for sure .

According to the teachings i have received i have been so much blessed by our lord through you brothers .The teachings by my brother John concerning Creation ,Redemption and so forth have indeed lifted me up spiritually.More so the teaching on lord's prayer was so encouraging on how to get to pray properly.

I want to assure you that i must share the teachings with my family and the church members plus doing the work of God without ceasing until His second coming.

Please brethren remember us in your daily prayers and may our heavenly Father bless you and don't miss to come back again.Remain blessed in Jesus name .Amen



PASTOR JOSEPH MATARA.

First of all i give thanks to the lord for the good work you have done here in our country Kenya for the gospel and teachings you had wit us while you were here.

Secondly your coming has blessed my heart very much since you are indeed men of God sent by Him to do His work here and help us and our people to grow in the knowledge of God.

Another point is when i try to look at the yrs of my brother Chad am very encouraged and challenged to have great respect to the word that they shared with us and as you gave us the word then i have to fulfill the book of 1Timothy 5:17.

I was very much blessed by the teachings and the sermons you gave us continuously because they pointed directly about the salvation done by our lord Jesus Christ and His completed work in the cross.

I am sure the work you started while you were here sent by Jesus will grow as we prepare ourselves to meet Him in the air as He comes back as a great Judge and will be with Him forever.

Greet all pastors ,leaders and your families for me .Be indeed blessed in the name above all names of Jesus Christ .Amen

N/B Thank you and wish to be hearing from you as we preach the whole word to the whole world AND AS WE FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION MY DEAR BROTHER JOHN.

Much love .

Pastor Fredrick



Dear beloved,

Praise be to God!

We greet you in Jesus name the son of the living God.

Millions of blessings to you all,we thank God for you all allowing our two brothers and innermost heart brothers for coming and heal the broken hearts,many people received Christ as their personal savior as they accepted and loved them so much for the work God send them to do here in kenya,we shared the love together and many were baptized in fire and even we wanted them to be with us even one year but due to some avoidable circumstances,we leave the lest to God,Now they are back to you while they are well and next we need them and you add more brothers and sisters to come,there is more work of harvesting souls.Give our love to all the saints and tell them that hairs of the family of God,and we hope to see you all here in Kenya.
