God’s Word sparks a new vision for ministry in Kenya

Share This Post

Martha Ritchie, a missionary with World Gospel Mission, has lived in Kenya about two years. After completing the 12-week Coram Deo Basics course with three Kenyan friends in just three weeks’ time, she hosted a Samaritan Strategy Vision Conference and had their understanding of wholistic ministry further turned upside down.

Martha (right) and her Kenyan friend Millicent (left, next to her husband, Pastor Garama) had struggled with how to minister to the whole person, a concept that became clearer as they absorbed DNA and Samaritan Strategy teachings.


“As Millicent and I looked for the missing puzzle piece, we found purpose in seeing things from God’s perspective,” Martha says.

Fifty leaders from about 20 different churches attended the conference.

   
Martha describes the leaders’ reactions after hearing from the trainers (pastors who work with CMS Africa) about the many ways God indeed has abundantly blessed Africa.

“One person said, ‘I am shocked by what we are sitting on. We are like an elephant with a big head who digs in the dirt with his trunk.’

“I could go on and on, and tell you all of it, but let me say that in the end, the people had hope. They had vision that THEY could change. One man reported that he cooked an egg for his wife for the first time ever. She said, ‘Surely the spirit of God is at work.’ They were inspired to change themselves and the church.”

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Heb. 4:12

Why Jordan Peterson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali & Others are Turning to Christianity

The Western world has been described as a cut flower. This flower was beautiful and flourishing while rooted in a Judeo-Christian worldview, and yet, as it became increasingly secular and rejected God, it cut itself off from its roots. Today, the flower still looks good, but it will soon wither and die if nothing changes.

In this episode, we look at the increasing number of former atheists, Muslims, and agnostics who are calling out the erosion of Western civilization along with its former values of human rights, justice, and freedom. These people–including Ayanna Hershi Ali, Jordan Perterson, Douglas Murray, Tom Holland, and more–are understanding that these Western values came from the Bible.

If Western society rejects God, it will also lose the virtuous and moral framework that created its foundation. This realization is leading to an awakening. It is a unique journey that has led people from an analysis of the culture and the West to the cross…
