Crowds gather to hear the Word

We are making progress in evangelizing the Pokot people. In every village many are coming to know the Lord. Leroy prays and shares his testimony as well as the Word with Pastor Benjamin translating.

Praying for the People

Praying for the people to be healed, to be saved, to dedicate their lives to the Lord. These are the goal's of Hawn International Missions. In the process of building churches the people are reaching out for the Lord. In this photo, Leroy prays for a woman in Chedowa.

In every village the pastors are sharing the good news with those who are searching for the same answers to their lives that all of us look for; why am I here? Does God really care about me? And if he does, how can I know Him? Your involvement and support of HIM has helped us to bring these answers to the people of West Pokot.

The People of CHEDAWA

This is our final Post for the new church at Chedawa. After Mary rode the motorcycle, and we saw the great job the villagers did on the building, we got to meet the people. After all, the real church is the people. The building is only a structure. The people were so welcoming, especially the 80 or so children who came for hugs from the white visitors. Later they told us we were the first white people (Masungo's) to ever visit their village - many have never seen an automobile. They loved Mary's white hair (and my lack of it!).

I (Leroy) preached during the service using 1st Corinthians Ch 13 as a text. Seven people came forward and accepted the Lord! I also was able to pray for several folks who needed healing. One elderly women got so blessed she jumped up and down like a youngster. We felt so privileged to worship with these wonderful people. We thank the Lord he made a way for us to be there. Keep praising the Lord, and pray for us and Pokot people of Kenya. Leroy and Mary

The Church building at CHEDAWA

We receieved a tremendous welcome at the church. The people did not wait for someone else to build a church for them, they just rolled up their sleeves and began building in faith. They lack six corregated metal sheets for the roof, so we gave them one we had left over from building our storage sheds and promised the church we would bring them the rest they need. Such determiniation and faith from extremely poor people should be rewarded!
