The Great Rift Valley is part of an intra-continental ridge system that runs through Kenya from north to south. It is part of the Gregory Rift, the eastern branch of the East African Rift, which starts in Tanzania to the south and continues northward into Ethiopia.

By: Pastor Jimmie Lewis Well at last I am home from my trip to Nairobi, Nakuru, and Kisii Kenya. I had a great time with the people in Kenya, they are great! It always blesses me to see the hunger in the people; they will set and hear the Word all day long, and even into the night.

I will share a few highlights of this wonderful trip. I left my state of Missouri on March 30 th from St. Louis, MO at 2:30 PM. We flew with the American Airlines to catch my over seas flight at Dallas/Fort Worth, which would take me to Doha, Qatar airways. Thirteen hours later, I was in Doha waiting for the next flight that would take me to Nairobi. The ride from Doha to Nairobi was 6 hours. I landed in Nairobi at12:30 A.M. on April 2nd. Was I ready to get my feet on the ground?

The answer was YES! That very day the convention started, which I did attend after a short time, with only a little sleep.

We had a great convention, with over 500 people plus more in the overflow, who were all very hungry for the Word of the Lord, and a move of the Spirit. All I can say is, “Praise the Lord of Glory for His Presence in that place!” In those times, one just doesn’t want to say anything. But I thank God that I had the honor to share with these great people; His Word that He dropped in my heart.

Brother Enoch Asulwisye from Mbeya, in Tanzania and Brother Josphat Kariuki, from between Nairobi & Naburu, Kenya, traveled with me while I was in Kenya. The dinner lines during the convention were very long. There were 5 other ministers plus myself ministering at the convention.

Then on the sixth, we left for Kisii, Kenya. On our way to Kisii, we were blessed to see part of the Rift Valley. It is very beautiful! We were in Kisii from the 7th through the 15th of April. Brother Elijah Ombiro put us in a hotel and took very good care of us. Hot water and good food was provided for us. We took a day of rest, and then from April 8-10 I was involved in Pastors and Leaders Conference Meetings. What a great time that was! People were so happy and joyful and greeted us with wide open arms.

During one of the meetings, a brother ask prayer for his daughter. She had left home with a rope to hang herself. So we all prayed, and as we did, the Lord spoke a Word to me for the girl’s father. I was a little hesitant to give it, but the Lord made a way, so I told him, “The Lord said, ‘My Word is greater than the rope, I will seize her, I will arrest her.’” The next day, the girl’s father had a testimony that his daughter had come home! So we praise God for He is faithful!

On April 11th and 12th, Brother Elijah took us around to seven churches, where we had the opportunity to preach. On April 13, he also took us on tour to two Orphanages, one for girls and one for boys that he takes care of. My heart went out to all of these very special people, they have great needs. It would just make you cry to see all of the needs! If not, one would be very cold hearted not to feel compassion for them!

April 14 was more evangelism. Had I wrote down all that happened, I could write many more pages about my trip! What a good time we had there! I had met Brother Elijah on Facebook through Dr. Bill and Faye Hanshew!

Our last day of ministering in Kisii was April 15, and then we headed to Nakuru to be with Geoffery Kimini. There we had two services on the 16th and 17th of April. I had a great time there with them; they are longtime friends so it was wonderful to see them again.

Then we headed back to Nairobi for a little rest on the 18 th. We were going to be with a great Brother and Sister in Nairobi for a night, then to church on Sunday morning before going to the airport to catch my flight home. We all had a great dinner with Brother David and family before leaving for home. They are great hosts! His wife can cook anything you may like. She made me a big burger and some pizza!

On the 19th, I was to leave for home, but before I did, we had another service at 10:00 AM. I shared God’s Word with the people of Africa one more time before leaving. They are great and very special people chosen for greatness! .As I said my goodbyes to Nairobi and to some of the greatest Brothers and Sisters ever, I was ready for home sweet home!

After 6 hours, I was in Doha Qatar for an 8 hour layover. From there I had a 14 hour flight to Chicago O’Hare, and then one hour to St. Louis.

It was wonderful to meet my beautiful wife, Sarah, my great grandson, and a couple from our church at St Louis where they were waiting for me. I was so happy to be home, I wanted to kiss the ground they were standing on! There is no place like home!

But with all that said, I did have a most successful time pouring myself out to the people of God. The door is open to all, they are waiting for you! It’s a wonderful world and people are crying for more truth on the Kingdom of God, and the finished work of the cross. They are on tip toes to see the wonderful sight of the Son of God coming into their own. Thank you for all your prayers, as they did prevail. Again, thank each one of you who held me up.

Pastor Jimmie had a lot of pictures and we could not post all of them. We hope you will enjoy the ones we have posted. Some of the pictures were taken in Kisii, Kenya at the two orphanages. Pastor Jimmie said, “They need a lot of things at the orphanages. I have seen this with my own eyes, so I do know the needs are great. Open your hearts, if you can!�
