Hero of the Faith #1

Sammy introduces one of the first converts in Nakabaran village.
Since those many years ago, he has been a powerful evangelist. 
I have been so impressed with the quality of this ministry, Share International, its leaders, what they are doing, and how God is multiplying their efforts. It has been such an honor to witness it, and play a small part in the Bible Pathways Training.

Sammy Murimi is a wonderfully gifted leader whose vision is behind Share. To hear him address these pastors who love him, as does he them, with such directness, is so refreshing.

I decide to test out our gift of a
hand-made laundry basket
Share International is supporting 61 pastors full-time (their churches don't have the resources though they are working towards being self-sufficient) They have planted almost 200 churches among the Turkana. 

Thousands have come to faith in Christ. God is at work! The vision of Share is to saturate all of Turkanaland with the gospel. This is a huge area one staff member told me is 7000 square km and bigger than the countries of Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi put together.
