Pastor Update – Mercy

Mercy was a member of the first Divine Providence Training Center class.  She and her husband have founded a church in the Eastland area of Nairobi.  This area is heavily Muslim and dominated by a gang called the Mungiki.  In spite of the challenges, Mercy and her husband, Frances, continue to minister and grow their church in this community.

The July mission team had a chance to meet and pray with them and hear testimonies from members and children.  One new member used to be a gun runner for the gangs until his child became involved in the church and led both him and his wife to Christ.

Mercy and Francis are reaching the community through outreach to women and children and have recently begun ministering to those in the community who are considered outcasts because of health or disability issues.  Mercy and Francis truly model the love of Christ for those around them.  In doing so, they continue to draw the wrath of the gangs, so please pray for their continued success, strength and safety.
