Clean City!
AEE Kenya City Wide mission dubbed Love Nairobi Mission began with “Serve the City”, where the AEE missionaries engaged in city clean up activities and evangelistic outreach across 13 church locations in Nairobi. This is an activity that takes place during the African Enterprise City wide mission. The missioners use the opportunity to clean the city in a bid to share the gospel.
During the recent Love Nairobi mission in Kenya, a team from International Christian Centre Imara of 73 people went out to the Imara neighbourhood and cleaned up a ditch of about one kilometre.
As the street cleaning took place, some of the locals stared from afar, while some approached the missionaries and asked questions.
A young man named Kelvin approached one of the evangelists who was cleaning. He then asked him who the team was and what made them come to their neighbourhood and volunteer to clean it up.
The evangelist told Kelvin a lot about Christ and the reason that led the team both local and visiting evangelists to participate in the cleanup. As the conversation went on, Kelvin willingly received Christ as his Lord and Saviour and was immediately interested in joining the team in serve the city. However, he asked the evangelist if he could go to his friends and tell them about Christ.
They marched to Kelvin’s friends. The evangelist shared with them a story on the mercy and goodness of God and 10 people received Christ immediately.
This really lit up Kelvin’s heart and he again asked the evangelist if they could go and meet more of his friends. Not far away, they found them playing drums beautifully. When Kelvin’s friends saw him, Kelvin asked if they could allow the man that accompanied him with to speak to them. Again, the evangelist spoke about Jesus, and again, the friends heard the gospel and asked to receive Christ!
After his friends accepted Jesus, Kevin then joined the team in serving the city and later on he gathered with the team for lunch.
We celebrate God for saving Kelvin, through him 20 more souls came to the Kingdom of Christ. Kelvin has been received by the International Christian Church- Imara, where he will be discipled as a follower of Christ.
