This season of ministry has presented many unexpected challenges in Kenya, reports CMF team members Joel and Rachel Williams, but the family is using the opportunities that come their way to share the gospel in everyday ways.
In the mid-1980s, the Turkana people in Kenya were an unreached people group who were resistant to the life-changing message of the gospel.
Thanks to CMF’s faithful partners, however, the ministry has grown from a handful of disciples to a church-planting movement with thousands of new disciples, to a disciple-making/church- planting movement over the past three years.
Eric and Cait Pitts have been working for three years in Kenya to train Turkana Christians in leading Discovery Bible Studies (DBS), and are now seeing fruit from this focused effort.
For the past seven years God has been working in the most remote part of southwest Ethiopia near the South Sudan border in incredible ways, according to CMF team members Ted and Jennifer Bertleson.
Roy was an atheist who came to Christ through the witness of a friend and was then called to missions while a student at Boise Bible College. Mary went on a mission trip “just for fun,” but God used the experience to lead her to share the gospel with other nations.
Samwel Kozigore grew up with an animistic worldview in his remote Ethiopian village of Koma, near Yasow, sacrificing sheep and goats to the forest spirits, participating in religious dancing, and visiting the local witch doctor. But a series of dreams involving sheep and Jesus led him to a local Christian church and, eventually, his calling as a full-time evangelist with the Kristos Andinet (Unity in Christ) Church, CMF’s partner in church planting in rural Ethiopia.
