The work in Kenya began through the School of Christ. Brother Brian Crets was sent there to establish the first school nearly ten years ago. We began working with Bishop Reuben Kyule. Hundreds of students graduated the school and many of them are in ministry today. Most of the students were Kenyans, but there many that came from Uganda and Tanzania as well.
Since the time of the school we have continued to work in Kenya with Bishop Reuben. He is a pastor, church planter, and does evangelism and missionary work.

In the month of June we took a trip to East Africa to visit the nations of Kenya and Tanzania. For several years your giving supported brother Brian Crets to minister there with the School of Christ. There is much fruit that remains, and the purpose of our visit was to see this fruit and discover what the Lord would have us to do there in the coming times.
We began in Nairobi, Kenya with Bishop Reuben Kyule. Bishop Reuben is the former director of the School of Christ in Nairobi and he is currently pastoring The Disciple’s Temple and ministering in a pastors fellowship. He took me to visit some of the works that were born out of his church. Bishop Reuben’s church has planted twenty churches in Kenya. The Disciples Temple is in a Muslim area of Nairobi, and it is appropriately named as brother Reuben is always preparing men and women for furthering ministry. He currently has several preachers being raised up in his church.
We have stayed in contact with Bishop Reuben over the years supporting his ministry of outreach through open-air meetings and also helping to send him and others to do missionary work in India. He has seen many souls come to Christ, people filled with the Holy Ghost, and many healed through his evangelization efforts. Reuben has been a great friend and we plan to do more work with him and former students of the School of Christ in Kenya.
We also visited a pastors meeting. There was great hunger amongst the pastors. The Lord ministered to us that day, and we met some new friends in God’s Kingdom. We went to another pastors and leaders fellowship meeting a few days later in the outskirts of Nairobi. We had two messages there and the Lord really ministered to us.
Before I left for Africa, I believed that this would be the beginning of something new. We are planning to return and do more work with the churches there. There was a great cry for fellowship wherever we went, and we desire to be a blessing wherever we can. In the two weeks that I was there no one directly asked for a single dime. I have never been so welcomed by any people anywhere.
I thank God for all that He is doing in East Africa. There is a lot of fruit from brother Brian’s work there. Also, many know of our pastor Duke Downs and Living Waters church due to the sending of materials such as CD’s and DVD’s that they have generously shared with each other. Be in prayer with us for these men of God in Africa and for the future work there.
