Msafara - Kenya
I wanted to share Oscar Muriu’s email with you (below). I know many of you are really passionate about prayer and engagement and believe you might be able to help this cause. We have set up an account at NorthWood and all funds received for this cause will be transferred directly to Oscar. We are sincerely trying to help Oscar in the Kingdom church and hope you will share the same desire to help. Bob
Greetings Bob,
You had asked me to give you a specific budget for the Msafara. We now have it ready . . . it comes to 220,000$. We have been able to raise 140,000$ so far, and have a short fall of the 80,000$ balance.
We are just getting ready to begin the Msafara this Friday. We have done all that we can . . . and the time has come. To prepare for the Spiritual warfare, we have engaged a strategy of 4 levels of prayer
1. A team of 5 National Intercessors who will go ahead of us and pray over our ministry, the places we shall be in, and the strongholds in each of these towns. This team intercedes on behalf of this nation full-time. They will spend several days of prayer in each place.
2. A larger team of 100 Church intercessors — mainly lay people trained in the ministry of intercession. They will be involved in city prayer walks, going to specific points where the city blood was shed. Going to temples or witchcraft centers, etc. They will spend one day prayer on this — before the cleansing ceremony.
3. The Pastors and National Leaders (about 300) praying at the cleansing ceremonies. Because these will also spend time reconciling and seeking healing for their division — they will only ‘cleanse’ at the service itself. But their work together will be an important united ‘stand’ by the leaders.
4. Churches around the country who will not be on the Msafara with us, but will be praying ‘back home’ full-time. For example many at the chapel have covenanted to cover me (their pastor) in prayer.
To date we have…
Some Assemblies of God churches are registered — One of the leaders will accompany us the whole way. They personally gave a lorry of food for one area, all the bottled water we will need, and a lorry for transport. They have also worked out a favorable deal on the 6 busses that will transport people. One of the churches has also been instrumental in mobilizing intercessors. The Moderator of one church is very keen about this. He too will go all the way with us, and has mobilized his intercessors to pray. Several Bishops in other Churches will travel with us, and have mobilized their pastors.
Other Episcopal churches have given blessings and called their churches to join in.
Many other smaller churches are also on board. Over 100 pastors have registered so far for the Msafara — so were right on target.
We are very, very encouraged, especially with all the good-will and support we have received; and believe this will have a huge impact on the nation.

This weekend we will have a very special guest in our service — a pastor whose church was burned down (& 35 people died). He rescued 5 children, dragging them out of the fire; but the arsonists caught him, beat him up knocking out 8 of his teeth, & left him for dead. He survived. We want to honor him as a Kenyan Hero, and will be giving him a gift to restart his life and church. A dentist in our church has offered to replace all 8 as a gift to the Lord.
