Final August Kenya Report

After 32 days of non-stop ministry (preaching/teaching sometimes 3 times per day) and 40 straight hours of traveling I am back home. I’m grateful I got to hold my new little grandson on Monday and officially welcome him into the Copeland Clan! My mind and heart is so overwhelmed at the opportunit…

Shartuka Kenya Crusade

We have entered our final week of ministry in Kenya for this trip with a crusade in the village of Shartuka, 7 kilometers east of Kilgoris. The crusade actually began on Tuesday, but our first day to minister was Wednesday. Shartuka is a village that has been over run with superstition, witchcraft…

Kilgoris Youth Conference Update

This week of meetings at the Kilgoris Youth Conference has been off the chain…and somewhat of a blur. Each session has been charged with an unusual Presence of the Lord. Until you see 300 plus Maasai young people dance before the Lord, you haven’t been to church. Many in the west would be appal…

The rest of our Alabama contingent arrived safely into Nairobi on Friday night. Andrew Peters and I welcomed Tyler Mock from Samson Alabama and Aaron & Sarah Bowman from C3 in Auburn Alabama. We were actually able to get some sleep for the long ride back to Kilgoris. One of our wonderful partne…

Kilgoris Pastors Training Week Two

August Kilgoris Kenya Update

I realize some will not get this until Monday morning in the States, but this is the first opportunity I have had to sit down and write more than a one sentence blurb.

We have just completed Day Two of our August Kilgoris Pastors Training. Today, Andrew Peters and I both took two sessions each; one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Final Lodwar Report

By the time most of you read this our team will be on the road to Kilgoris. Our training for Maasai Pastors begins on Tuesday morning. Saturday was another spectacular day for ministry. ALong with the training crusade and revival meeting, our team pulled together close to $250.00 to buy loaves of b…

Lodwar Kenya Report,

We have just completed our second full day in Kenya. We arrived on late Wednesday night; caught about 5 hours sleep then took off for Lodwar Turkanna which is in the northern area of Kenya. Lodwar is a very dry and dusty place. After arriving at about 1pm at 4pm we began the afternoon crusade. God …

Headed Back to Kenya

As I write this I am in the air to Houston Texas to connect with Andrew Peters and our August trip to Kenya. This will be the longest trip yet without Pam; 34 days! I miss her already! We arrive Wednesday night in Nairobi and immediately Thursday travel to Lodwar Turkanna to begin a crusade and Pas…
