Keeping faith in trying moments
This blog covers our last two week’s experiences on Hots. In the last two weeks we have prayed for a number of people who are HIV+. I must admit that initially I was sceptical about people getting healed of this disease but after praying with a woman who was HIV+ who later confirmed after several [...]

We resumed HotS after a long break since the Kenyan elections in the month of March. The break was necessitated by a government ban on public meetings, and by the Easter holidays. Men at Work It is humbling to meet a man who cannot provide for his family. You can imagine the pressure when he [...]

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 [...]

Today Healing on the Streets was less busy compared to previous weeks, it is still hot and dusty in Kibera meaning that we end up with a layer of dust covering us. So as we sat down to work, we saw a guy who we once prayed for who got healed. He had both feet [...]

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 [...]
