Highlights from Nairobi

We recently finished up our week in Nairobi and are now in Nyaharuru. Had a GREAT rest of our week in Nairobi. We were teaching all day at the school and then preaching in the afternoons at John's (the school principals) church- sometimes evenings we'd hang out with the students or do other things- so it was a full week. It was really great having a small class because we were able to really get to know the students and interact with them a lot. We had some good worship/soaking times where students had visions and encountered God. When we were activating them to give prophetic words we had a student that we were prophesying over and they were being shy at first so Aaron said, "it's ok if it's simple. It could just be one word". As soon as he said that, a student said, "I hear the word laughter". Immediately, the student we were prophesying over got filled with joy and began laughing super hard... she continued to laugh for half an hour. Afterwards she told me that she had recently been through a really hard situation and while she was laughing the Lord totally healed her heart and released her from the sadness she was carrying from the situation! On Friday the students shared what spoke to them from the week and what they had learned. It was really encouraging to hear that they really were getting what we were teaching and so many of them shared how they are really excited to put what they've learned into practice and impact the community around them. One student accompanied us downtown to the church we were preaching at and got totally rocked just by watching the way Aaron interacted with people along the way. That same student has already texted us telling us how much he misses us. We definitely felt so loved by them. The last day we were in Nairobi, we went for a walk through the neighborhood and ended up praying for a lady who had had pain and burning in her leg for 2 years and she was instantly healed!!! She was so surprised and excited that she asked us, "where do you pray, so that i can go and pray there and continue to see miracles?! I know so many people that need miracles"... people are so hungry for the Kingdom when it touches their lives! God is good.
Here is our "Class Photo" from the school in Nairobi!
