An international team of women prayed for people on the Kenyan island where DMA missionaries Peter and Irene live, and they saw God’s miraculous interventions. One elderly woman who could not walk now walks again, and a man who had suffered a stroke and struggled to walk and speak is now able to ride his motorcycle! Yet another person recommitted their life to Christ when the team prayed with them in their home.
Hanneke Develing (from a DOVE church in the Netherlands called The Living) led this team of women from DOVE Westgate Church in Pennsylvania, USA, to Kenya. The team began by visiting Peter and Irene. Everyone turns to Peter and Irene for help, as they notice who is in need, who requires practical help, or who needs encouragement. They sell fruit and vegetables from their home so that people come to them for groceries. Through these relationships, and as Peter and Irene sell physical fruit, God is bringing spiritual fruit through church growth.
The team then spent two days hosted by Pastor Wilson and Rebecca in the Kitale region of Kenya and served at a women’s conference. Kenyan, European, and American women enjoyed worship, teaching, workshops, and sharing meals and lives together. It felt like a foretaste of heaven, where all tribes and nations will worship God together. Conference attendees noticed that cultural barriers disappear when a spiritual family comes together in unity. Hanneke writes, “Setting aside time and taking the step to serve God in another part of the world and being dependent on Him always breaks something open in the spiritual realm so that you also receive blessing. God’s presence was very clear during our time in Kenya.”
