Waiting for rain, anticipating blessings
It is hot and dusty in Nairobi, more so in Kibera. We are expecting rain late this month (at least the weatherman said so) which is a sign of blessing in African traditions. In fact this morning during our time of praying on the street, we almost choked of dust. Talking of blessings we expect more [...]

This morning was equally busy for us as it has been lately, not only in-terms of the number of people we prayed for but also in terms of our persistence in prayers and waiting for God to act. Let us start with the power below. Our prayer venue is a place in the open air, and [...]

Welcome to hots this week the first one this month, and we were happy to have Elliot who joined us this morning. Half of the people we prayed for this morning wanted prayers to get jobs in order to provide for their families and sustain themselves, which is quite desperate to not be in a position to provide [...]

This week’s HotS, unlike previous weeks, was fully dominated with people who asked for prayers for ailments. I guess this is why it is called healing ministry. You see with schools opening and an unfriendly economy, in the recent past people have asked for prayers in line with social needs like school fees, job opening, [...]

A busy 2 hours this morning, with hardly a moment to draw breath! This is the time of year when many kids haven’t yet gone back to school, because their parents / guardians don’t have the necessary fees, or can’t afford the uniform or books or fare. So we had many people today needing God [...]

“One day only, Mondays” This statement dominated our morning prayers as we tried to invite people to come and pray with us, explaining that we only have HotS once a week. Of course, this was after them inquiring of what we were doing. We had a low profile morning, praying with only five people, one [...]
Continue Reading >Testimonies
Today we had the benefit of hearing lots of testimonies from the past. Similar to previous weeks we had the privilege of praying with a number of people with varying needs and expectations. We were also excited that most of the ailments were revealed to us during our time of preparation. One of the testimonies we [...]
Continue Reading >OF HOPE AND DREAMS
This week hots was one of the busiest so far this year. As we were preparing to sit down at our station, we usually have brief prayers just to dedicate the ground, two ladies were already waiting for us so we started off on a busy foot. We welcomed Molly to the team as a replacement [...]
Continue Reading >Return of the sick
In recent HotS sessions we have prayed more about people’s practical needs for work, school fees, rent money etc, than for healing of sicknesses. For some reason, today was the day for the sick to come to us! So we prayed for healing for high blood pressure, headaches, throat pain, sore ribs, diabetes, hip & [...]

Today we prayed for half the number of people we prayed for last monday, but one had some comic relief for us. We stood and prayed for a number of people with social needs, like parents who are struggling to pay school fees for their children, those who wish to expand their businesses and some [...]
