Two Maasai Christian ladies prayed often under a tree. They cried out to God that he would give them a church where the children could learn the true Word of God.
In November 2004, Jonathan and I drove to Lemasusu with District Superintendent Daniel Partimo. We arrived at the site late in the afternoon. We were greeted by dozens of Maasai who had waited all day in the rain for us to come. They wanted a church.
Jonathan shared his vision of wanting to build a church in Kenya. The people were moved by his faith. They slaughtered a goat for us for the occasion and we ate together before leaving.
A little more than a month later the team arrived to build the tabernacle. When the building was erected and the roof put on, the team and local believers gathered to give thanks to God.
Two Maasai ladies came forward to share. With emotion they shared of their prayer under a tree. All rejoiced together. Two women had prayed, a young man had a vision, people gave, a team responded, and that Tuesday evening they saw what God had accomplished.
