The Messenger PREACH THE WORD! By Lakan Mariano Mark and I encouraged the pastors and church leaders to stick to preaching and teaching the Bible--not some book they read, not a vision or a dream they had, not an experience they had--but the Bible. We also encouraged them to live out the Bible in how they function in the family. Not according to their culture, or what they think or feel is right, or what is expedient, but according to what God says in his word, the Bible.
Mark explaining the wonders of the Christian life in Ephesians.
This morning we got to share Christ with the inmates at a prison in Kitale. It was a wonderful sight to see people moved by the gospel.
"For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord" (2 Corinthians 4:5). Thank you for your prayers! ~Lakan
