As I am tabulating data for our most recent fiscal year
report (July 2013-June 2014) I have been surprised at how much has been accomplished. Our primary
focus is on teaching the foundations of our Christian faith both to new
believers and also to those who have been walking with Jesus for some time but
yet seem to have a misunderstanding of what the Bible has to say about basic
doctrines such as salvation, water baptism, Holy Communion, the resurrection of
the dead, etc. To those that we teach, we leave in their hands printed materials
(in their choice of English or Swahili) in the form of lesson plans to help
them form their own home Bible study group to teach others what they have
learned.
As part of this instruction, we take the people from our
class out into the villages with us to show the “Jesus” film as beginning
evangelism to help them get new believers into their newly formed Bible study
classes. As you can imagine, this works very, very well in many parts of Kenya
where our students have been well prepared for our arrival and who already have
a great initiative towards evangelism.
Consider that almost none of our evangelism is in
well-populated areas. Our targets are very small villages in remote Kenya where
relatively few missionaries work. This makes the numbers very impressive
indeed.
These past 12 months, we have shown the film 14 times in 13
different villages to a total of more than 4,300 people with well over 900 new
converts. This is amazing. In addition,
we know of many of those who were converted during these missions of Burning
Plow Ministries (BPM) who have been directly responsible for the conversions of
many more by one-on-one evangelism.
This is but one of the many ministries of BPM. Each of BPM’s
several ministries in and of itself makes our presence here in Kenya very
worthwhile. It gladdens my heart to be able to see the fruit of the work that
God has given for us to do. I am personally very appreciative of all of our
prayer partners and financial supporters who make this ministry possible.
The photos below are Foundations of Our Faith Classes that
we have conducted in the last 12 months. As you look carefully at these people,
look at each person individually and spend a little time praying for them and
their continuing work of spreading the gospel message and building and
strengthening of the body of Christ.
Be blessed,
Don and Becky
