More on Msafara

Hi,

I got this from the Msafara Blog. Thought it would be good to share it here.

Getting ready

from Msafara - Wheels of Hope by msafara

We are just getting ready to begin the Msafara this Friday. We have done all
that we can . . . and the time has come. To prepare for the Spiritual
warfare, we have engaged a strategy of 4 levels of prayer:

  1. A team of 5 National Intercessors who will go ahead of us and pray over our ministry, the places we shall be in, and the strongholds in each of these towns (Mombasa is notorious for witchcraft and demonization. Eldoret houses the First Masonic Temple ever built in Kenya/E. Africa). This team intercedes on behalf of this nation full-time. They will spend several days of prayer in each place.
  2. A larger team of 100 Church intercessors - mainly lay people trained in the ministry of intercession. They will be involved I city prayer walks, going to specific points of the city blood was shed. Going totemples or witchcraft centers, etc. They will spend one day prayer on this - before the cleansing ceremony.
  3. The Pastors and National Leaders (about 300) praying at the cleansing ceremonies. Because these will also spend time reconciling and seeking healing for their division - they will only ‘cleanse’ at the service itself. But their work together will be an important united ’stand’ by the leaders.
  4. Churches around the country who will not be on the Msafara with us, but will be praying ‘back home’ full-time. For example many at Nairobi Chapel have covenanted to cover Pst. Oscar Muriu (their Senior Pastor) in prayer.

Last Friday we had about 30 Kesha points around the country (& Dar-es-Saalam), and we are now in a week of fasting. Yesterday we were also on TV/Radio to launch off the Msafara (alerting the nation).

To date we have :

  • The Kenya Assemblies of God church registered - their Bishop will accompany us the whole way. He personally gave a lorry of food for Mombasa, all the bottled water we will need, and a lorry for transport. He has also worked out a favorable deal on the 6 busses that will transport people. His church has also been instrumental in mobilizing intercessors. KAG has about 3,500 churches nationwide.
  • The PCEA church - the Moderator is very keen about this. He too will go all the way with us, and has mobilized his intercessors to pray. PCEA probably has 1,000 churches nation-wide.
  • Several Bishops in the Deliverance Church will travel with us, and have mobilized their pastors.
  • The Archbishop of the Anglican (Episcopal) church has given his blessings and called his church to join in - so one of his Bishops will be one of our public speaker.
  • Many other smaller churches are also on board. Over 100 pastors have registered so far for the Msafara - so were right on target. The cost per person is just over 200$ each, but many, many expressed dismay in finding that sort of money (it is a lot in our context - but with having to move 300 people from town to town, feed and house them, it’s not a lot). Anyway, we took a step of faith and reduced the subscription to 70$, and are praying God will furnish us with the balance.
  • UNICEF gave us 10,000 hygiene packs to give the displaced (cost them about 140,000$). We have also set a goal to deliver at least 1 lorry of food (about 15 - 13 tonnes) to each town (costs about 5,000$ per lorry of food).
  • 2 organizations (Diguna & KAG) have given us the empty lorries to transport with free, and another the fuel needed. The idea is that this food will be given over to the Pastors Fellowships in each town to distribute among the needy IDP’s among them. There are as many IDP struggling to survive outside the camp (under the care of the churches) as there are within the camps (under the care of the Red Cross - the Red Cross is very well supplied with provisions).

We are very, very encouraged, especially with all the good-will and support
we have received; and believe this will have a huge impact on the nation.

This weekend there will be a very special guest in the Nairobi Chapel service - a pastor
whose church was burnt down (& 35 people died). He rescued 5 children,
dragging them out of the fire; but the arsonists caught him, beat him up
knocking out 8 of his teeth, & left him for dead. He survived. Nairobi Chapel wants to
honor him as a Kenyan Hero, and will be giving him a gift to restart his
life and church. A dentist in the church has offered to replace all 8 as a
gift to the Lord.

President Obama says He Prays "all the time now"

Aimee Herd (July 29, 2009) "This is something where you just hope that you are aligning your work with His purposes, and that you're attuned to the needs of the people you're there to serve." In a recent Nightline interview, President Obama told ABC News' Terry Moran that his prayer habits have intensified since taking office, and that he prays "all the time now." "I've got a lot of stuff on my plate and I need guidance all the time," Obama said in the interview. He told Moran that before he was elected, he used to pray each night. Obama reportedly receives a devotional and prayer sent to his BlackBerry every morning from Pastor Joshua DuBois, the director of the president's Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Initiative. (Photo: LATimes) Obama candidly added, "I think that every president who's had [this job] is constantly humbled by the degree to which there are a lot of issues out there and the notion that one perso...

Evel Knievel's Salvation Testimony Spurs Spontaneous Baptisms at Crystal Cathedral—500 to 800 Commitments & Rededications on Palm Sunday

"I just got on my knees and prayed that God would put His arms around me and never, ever, ever let me go." Brad A. Greenberg/AH (April 19th, 2007) One man's life touches so many others. We've heard that message conveyed countless times, from the movie, It's a Wonderful Life, to messages from the pulpit. And yet it's still a wonder when you see God change one heart which, in turn, affects hundreds of others. That probably wasn't even a passing thought this past March, however, when the Lord suddenly broke into the life of famous motorcycle daredevil, Robert "Evel" Knievel. He knew that there were Believers who were actively praying for his salvation—he cites his daughter, ex-wife and their churches, along with the "hundreds" of letters Knievel had received urging him to trust God—but for 68 years, he had resisted calling on Jesus Christ as Savior. According to an article in Christianity Today, ...

People who sleep on their stomachs have lower night time blood pressure

People who sleep on their stomachs have lower night time blood pressure than people who sleep in other positions, according to research from Japan. Yasuharu Tabara of Ehime University School of Medicine in Ehime, Japan, noted that high blood pressure during the night can increase the risk of a night time heart attack, reports Patient Health International. In the research, more than 270 healthy men ages 19 to 64 who were not taking blood pressure medication wore automatic blood pressure cuffs. They were first asked to lie down face up and later were told to turn over on their stomachs. In almost all the men, their overall blood pressure dropped significantly when they were face down. And 25 of the men experienced an even more dramatic decrease of more than 15 points when they just turned over onto their stomachs. In addition, systolic blood pressure, which is the force blood exerts on the artery walls when the heart beats, fell by ...
