How much should we charge for prayers?
We continue to show up on the streets of Kibera once a week for HotS, and just to mention from last week, we had one middle-aged man who just wanted prayers for our country Kenya. That reminded us of the need to continue praying for our country as we head for the general election. This [...]

Welcome to HotS 2013. It’s the Jubilee year in Kenya, alot is going on and elections are close. In the bible Jubilee is very significant, slaves were released, debts were cancelled and people celebrated big time. This week was the third HotS we have done this year, the first two gave us opportunity to see [...]

Strange title. Especially if you’re reading this in the West. Before I came to Africa, I think I held the view that demons were the stuff of horror movies and ancient history. That’s if I really held a view at all. It’s just not something that’s talked about in the modern, cultured, respectable & refined [...]

Today’s HotS report comes from our Creativity Centre in Mashimoni – it has started to rain in Nairobi, paving the way for a possible El-nino as forecast by the meteorological department here.

This week HOTS was one that was special on its own. We were involved with many, we learnt a lot from many, as we let God do His work. After spending time in preparations and prayers we hit the streets with confidence knowing that God was ready to use us, and greatly we experienced His [...]

Welcome to HOTS. This week the report serves the experiences we had on the streets for the last two weeks. It’s hot in Nairobi and dusty in Kibera, and fewer people are stopping for prayers because of this. This week we pick it up from James’ story two weeks ago. If you remember, he had [...]

HOTS returned this week after a long pause. It was a great feeling to be back again on the streets and join the team for prayers. We have a saying in Africa that goes like ” No hurry in Africa”. On Monday, I totally embraced it: I reported late hence the team didn’t have enough time [...]

My name is Gathoni Mutua and I am a university student. Last Monday I was graciously invited to join Turning Point for a few hours as part of the healing ministry. It has been said about surrender that “the strongest position you can be in is on your knees”. I saw this practically at work. [...]

We welcomed Ashley and Judy onto the team today. Ashley is over from the UK for Emily’s wedding (this coming Saturday), and Judy spends most of her time working in the TP office, with only occasional escapes into Kibera. It was a busy morning, with 20 people stopping at our invitation for prayer. Unlike some [...]
