Jambo from Kenya, Africa,

Our missionary journey has come to an end in Malindi, Kenya.  God has given us great favor through spiritual warfare.  Our team has seen 21,236 professions of faith and 11,824 bibles have been distributed in schools, villages, churches, and to individuals.  Praise God for the harvest!  Please continue to pray for these new believers in Christ.  The churches here have a lot of work to do in follow up, but they are comitted to doing the work necessary to build their churches.

Everyone on the team is in good health and high spirits as we prepare to come back home.  Please pray for us as we begin our journey back.  We leave here at 1:00 PM Kenya time (5:00 AM Altus time) for Mambosa.  Our plane leaves at 5:00 PM Kenya time (9:00 AM Altus time).  We will be in airplanes and airports for 2 days and arriving at DFW, God willing, by 1:00 PM on Friday.  Pray for Charles as he is coming to pick us up.

Finally, please remember to pray for Charles and Ramona Jeffries and their Peru mission trip. I know they will have wonderful testimonies to share when they get back.

Kwa Heri….. Goodbye

We will see you all in a few days.

To God be the Glory
Tony and Debbie  Pearce

Sorry it has been a few days since we have emailed.  Tony and I are serving about 1 1/2 hours from the hotel, so we are walking in the bush, going from village to village, from about 9:45 to 3:00 each day, then a short bible teaching at the church.  They are Baptist, so you know short doesn’t mean anything.

You are not going to believe this, but here it goes.  At the end of Wednesday at reporting time, there had been more than 8,000 professions of faith.  Did you get that?  That is awesome.  Also thousands of bibles have been distributed in the schools.  The team has done at least 9 schools during the past 2 days.  We will have this week’s final report tonight and I will try to email you with the results.

Next week, starting on Sunday, we will serve in another church.  All of us will.  Going from village to village, hut to hut, sharing the gospel.  It really doesn’t get any better than this.

It was hard today for all of us leaving our pastors, national volunteers and interpreters and moving home, but the work goes on.  Part of you wants to stay here, but we all miss you guys very much.

By the way, Adolf is not the same Adolf you knew when we left.  God has worked miraculously through him.  He can hardly contain the emotions and feelings he is experiencing.  I can guarantee, he will never be the same.  I don’t think any of us will be, but Adolf is definately having a “God Moment”!

Tony, myself, Adolf, and Laura Leigh are going to a school tomorrow at 3:00 PM (7:00 AM your time).  Please pray the message will be received and they will pray to accept Christ.  We will be distributing bibles at this time.

Thanks for your continued prayers.  We have seen the mighty hand of God everywhere we have been.  It has been said before, but is worth repeating,… If you don’t see it with your own eyes and experience it, it is hard to believe.  Even when you see it, it is hard to believe.

Love you all,

Debbie

Tony said they had another wonderful day on the mission field. He preached this morning and 49 made professions of faith. Then during the clinic, 46 more accepted Christ, making a total of 95 professions of faith. They prayed for and laid hands on many of the sick.Tony said they visited the vineyards in the area. The men who own / run the vineyards shared their testimonies of faith and how God had been blessing them. Tony said they ate grapes from the vineyards…WOW! They climbed a coconut tree and shook coconuts loose, then they cut the tops off the coconuts with a machete and drank the coconut milk.. Cool, huh? As they were leaving the vineyard, they passed a group of women who worked for the vineyard owners. Tony said he made a comment about sharing the gospel with them. The pastor he is serving with called them over and told Tony to share the good news with them. He said 7 of them prayed to receive Christ. He has shared with many of them about forsaking their God and the Hindu ways in order to serve the one true God.

Tony called today (Tuesday evening for him) to say there have been 21 Salvations on Monday and 45 Salvations on Tuesday.  Please continue to pray for the people of India.

To God be the glory,

Debbie

The word of God’s miraculous power is pouring in from Kenya, Africa. At this point, there have been over 8,000 salvations. Tony Pearce and Susan Slick visited a school today where approximatel 1,000 children made professions of faith in Jesus Christ. Is that awesome or what? Although the mission field is all around everyday, Wednesday will be the last day on the mission field in Kenya. The team will begin their journey back home Thursday morning and should be arriving at DFW at around 5:30 PM on Saturday evening. Tony sends his love and thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement before, during, and after the Kenya mission trip. I am reminded of the book, “Twelve Ordinary Men”, and how God can and will use ordinary people to further His Kingdom. Praise God he chose to use our very own “ordinary men” (and women) to encourage the people of Kenya, Africa and to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ.

In Christ, Debbie Pearce

The missionary team is on their last leg of the journey, but their days will be full until they leave to come home. There have been 5,941 professions of faith, 92 recorded rededications, and over 2000 bibles handed out. Some of the missionaries will stay with the same church and others started in new churches today. There is still much work to do and the harvest is plentiful. Pray for the team in the areas of travel, health, and mission work. They will begin their journey back on Thursday. The team is due to arrive back home on Saturday evening, but for some maybe Sunday evening. Anyway, by this time next week, they should all be back home. Then we can all share in their praises and stories of their trip to Kenya. Continue to pray for schools, villages, and the churches of Kenya.

I will update again when I get word.

In Christ,

Debbie Pearce

Word from the Mission Field. Tony and Charles Ortega visited a school today with approximately 700 children. They estimated 600 of them prayed to receive Christ. Later that afternoon, they went shopping in a “wood carving” area. Tony preached the Good News and 11+ wood carvers prayed to receive Christ. All of this on their day off! What a day! About half the group has gone on a 2 day safari while the others stayed at the resort and did other ministry projects, shopping, and rearranging. All of them will be starting over on Sunday for another full week of ministry. God is good and is bringing in a bountiful harvest for the Kingdom. Please keep them in your prayers.

In Christ,

Debbie Pearce

I’m just truly amazed. It’s their fourth day in the bush of Kenya, Africa and God is working miracles. There have been over 3200 salvations and too many rededications to count. All of the missionaries are overwhelmed at the end of each day because of the work that God is doing in and through their lives and in the lives of the African people. The team has seen many lives changed, including people being healed and being delivered from demon posession. They’ve had opportunities to be in several schools, but there are still other schools to be evangelized. Pray for God’s power to go before them and prepare the way, and also pray for a mighty work of God while they are there.

In the upcoming weekend several of the missionaries, including my Dad (Tony),Charles Ortega, and possibly others, will be visiting churches and communities from last year’s mission trip. Although evangelizing is at the top of the list, their main purpose is to support and encourage the pastors and their congregations.

Prayers:

1) Pray for the salvation of all the people of Kenya.

2) Pray for strength, endurance, and safety for all the missionaries for the remainder of the trip.

3) Pray the missionaries will be completely yielded and ready to be used by God.

4) Pray for the encouragement of last year’s churches and their pastors.

5) Pray for the interpreters, the nationals, and the pastors who are helping each day on the mission field with our missionaries.

5) Continue to pray for the “left behind” family and friends of the missionaries.

Another wonderful day in Kenya, Africa. I don’t have numbers, but again, many were saved and made rededications. Tony and Susan will have the opportunity to go into the schools the next 3 days. Please pray for a move of God before and during their presentation of the gospel. Brother Jeff preached a funeral today with approximately 800-900 people present. Many talked of how he blessed them by preaching the service. Today was a bit more taxing for most of them in the bush, but still many victories were won for the kingdom. Tony said Carrie really had an awesome day evangelizing. Praise God.

Check back in a day or so; I will keep posting.

In Christ,

Debbie
