Elder Martin Onyoni's Email and Pictures from Kenya

Dear brethren,

Greetings in the Mighty name of our Lord, Master and Savior Jesus Christ. I hope this finds all of you okay.
First of all, I take this opportunity to thank the Lord for every remembrance of you and your faithfulness for the cause of Christ. I also thank the Lord and appreciate your support you gave during the Tanzanian brethren's visit in Kenya and the PB efforts in Kenya. Much of your prayers were answered for we felt blessed, encouraged and edified during that occassion. The brethren's visit was of a great blessing to all of us. They too felt blessed from their visit.
During their visit, the brethren preached the truth in demonstration of the Spirit. I felt that they preached like they have never done before, for they were filled with the spirit during their preaching. Members were edified and felt blessed from the truth which was preached by this 'new' men. One could tell that they were no longer preach brethren but already experienced preachers. May God be given all praise, honor and glory for this. The Kenyan preach brethren also got an opportunity to speak to the Lord's people along with the visiting Tanzanian brethren. They too did a wonderful job.

On Tue 07th Dec. 2010, during the afternoon worship service at Omogonchoro PB Fellowship, five including the leader of the group ( once a pastor of a different order of faith, and now no longer since he has joined PBC ) and his wife came forth requesting for a home in the Lord's church by means of baptism. We all rejoiced to welcome them and immidiately after the worship service, which we conducted in his small sitting room where thhis group normally meet. We drove the whole group to a swimming pool in Kisii town, 20km away from their location for a baptism service. It was getting dark in the evening but by God's grace, I humbled myself to baptize these dear brethren an occassion which was witnessed by the whole group and those who visited the group. I felt blessed to baptize these dear brethren. Those baptised are now members of the First PB Church of Kisii - Kenya, where the Lord has blessed me to pastor. We also had another baptism service on Sat 11th Dec. 2010 at the same swimming pool, where five brethren belonging to a Nyamira PB Fellowship led by Bro. Christopher Nyangoto (he had been a pastor of a different order of faith). He together with his wife were among the five baptised. The also became members of the church the has blessed me to pastor.

On the last Sunday of our meetings that is on 12th Dec. 2010, two brethren came forth requesting for baptism. They will soon be baptized.
The Lord willing two more brethren from Tanzania i.e Bbrethren Moses and Anthony will be visiting Kenya during the first two weeks of January 2011.
Attached are some of the pictures I attampted to take during this occassion. I know there are several brethren who have in the recent past asked to be updated on the events of the Primitive Baptist Ministry in Africa, it will be a blessing if you share this with our PB brethren in America.
Please I ask that you keep all of us in your prayers. I just want to let you know that you and your families and the churches you serve are always in my thoughts and prayers.
May God continue to bless the fruits of your labor is my prayer.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Elder Martin Onyoni,
First Primitive Baptist Church of Kisii - Kenya, Pastor.
