How all can get involved in Kenya to heal this country and its people

Mobilize Humanitarian Aid for the hurting, displaced people. Food, clothes, shoes, school-books : anything that can be of help and blessing to people in need. You could also contribute a “GIFT PACKS” for the Internally Displaced. A Gift Pack is a small box with some helpful toiletries for the displaced. Each gift pack will cost a mere 500/= to put together. You can mobilize your church or friends to give 10, 50, a 100 or more gift packs. We are looking for 100,000 packs to give to the hurting (see below for details)

The Vision : Strategic Spiritual Warfare For The Soul Of Kenya

Chaos : Violence, looting, burning, destruction and killing erupted on Kenya immediately the election results were announced. Many explained it as a boiling over of emotions due to Kenya’s disappointment with the announced election results. Quickly gallant efforts were put together to try and broker peace in the country. “Eminent Persons’ were even brought into the country to mediate peace between the two warring political parties. The legal fraternity began consulting the text-books to see what could be done constitutionally, while the business community talked about jump-starting Kenya’s economy back to life.

Would these various efforts be enough? Yes and no. At a human level leaders are doing a commendable job; everything they can to restore order. But there is another dynamic to what Kenya has just witnessed that is unmentioned - strategic war at which battle must be done . . . the battle for the soul of this nation. A battle against the demonic forces that have assailed Kenya, and a battle that only the church can do!

Witchcraft : Before the elections there were several reports of heightened witchcraft in the country as politicians sought all manners of supernatural power to ensure they win their electorate. A dark, unspoken side of Kenya’s reality was awakened. There was stories in the media about powerful medicine-men from neighboring countries coming to cast spells over whole regions and cities in Kenya that would therefore supposedly vote for one candidate as against the other; and even boasts by such witchdoctors that they were so busy consulting Kenyan politicians, that their diaries were full and they would have to think of relocating to Kenya to keep up with the demand.

Dark forces were awakened and marshaled against this country as politicians battled for the soul of Kenya. Floodgates were opened, and out of them poured the spirit of hate, destruction and bloodshed.

The Church : The church in it’s first response to the crisis reached out with hands of mercy towards the hurting. As it’s leaders gathered on Monday 31st Dec, at Ufungamano House under an newly formed “National Alliance of Churches”, they developed a four pronged strategy – a ‘political strategy’ to engage the two contending political parties; a ‘humanitarian strategy’ to mobilize churches and NGO’s to care for the many displaced people; a ‘spiritual strategy’ to mobilize the church to prayer; and a ‘media strategy’ to give voice to the church as it sought to address the nation. All four strategies worked commendably well.

But that initial response did not address the dark side of Kenya’s battle, and many church pastors now feel the time has come to engage in spiritual warfare that will close these floodgates. Because the blood of innocent lives, especially children and women, was shed upon our soil, the time has also come for Kenya to confess and seek God’s forgiveness against this injustice least we stand accursed before God for this heinous sin.

When the Annan team does what it does best, it will not have dealt with the demonic forces marshaled against this nation. When the businessmen do what they do best, they would not have bound the “powers and principalities”. Only the Church can do this.

The Plan : Many churches are therefore coming together under the National Alliance to engage in Spiritual Warfare over our main cities. From 7th to 17th March, they will gather in 5 main cities in Kenya, wage war, and close the ‘Spiritual Floodgates’. Beginning in Mombasa (8th), which is the entry point into Kenya, the “Msafara” (caravan) will make it’s way to Nairobi (10th), and then onto Nakuru, Eldoret, and finally end up in Kisumu.
At each city 100 pastors from the nation, will join up with 300 - 500 local pastors and spend the first day in confession, preparing themselves for spiritual warfare the next day. The will also be joined by a sizable number of church members whose task will be to spread the love of Jesus Christ, and to give out humanitarian aid to those affected by the clashes. They will pray, cry, hold, laugh and counsel with the hurting, seeking to be the hands and feet of Christ to the people. Thirdly, prayer intercessors are being mobilized nationwide as they will have the task of engaging and beginning the prayer battle over the city.

How Can I Be Involved? You can be involved at several points -

As A Denominational Leaders/ Bishops/ Gate-keeper.

1. Give The Msafara Your blessing. As a denominational leader or Church Father your word has the power to create! You stand at the helm of a fellowship or network of pastors who will join in if they have your blessing. Please free your people to heal this nation.

2. Mobilizing your troops and spiritual sons to join in. Actively encourage your leaders to be involved in this warfare. We need all the help we can get and would be deeply blessed to have your pastors join the Msafara trip, and/or spiritual cleansing services.

3. Be visible to the nation. This nation needs to see the church engage the demonic forces actively. Your presence at the events will enable the nation to see the church united in action on their behalf, doing what only the church can do. Please commit yourself to be at the spiritual cleansing ceremonies in these 5 cities.

As A Church Pastors

1. Join the Msafara personally – come join us as we move through the different cities. We need 100 visiting pastors for each event, and 300 local pastors at each city. If time does not allow you to travel with the Msafara, then mobilize other pastors for the cleansing ceremony for each city and join in. Maybe you can also join one leg of the Msafara.

2. Mobilizing the saints to prayers - cover the “Msafara” with prayers for protection as they engage in spiritual warfare for this nation. Please call out your intercessors and prayer generals to begin praying now, and seeking divine intervention and protection. Inform the church as a whole, and ask them to set aside a regular day to fast and pray for the battle ahead.

3. Mobilize your members for the National Night of Kesha. On Fri 29th Feb, churches around the country will gather at large church venues citywide to Kesha. A list of such venues for each city will be advertised. Encourage your church to join in.

4. 7 Day Fast. From Sat. Mar. 1st till Mar 7th is a National Week of Fasting. We are calling all Christians nationwide to set aside a time for fasting. The fast can be a day fast, a 3 day fast, a total fast, a weeklong fast, a chain fast. Direct your members to what is appropriate for you as a congregation, or as individuals. The target is to raise up 1,000,000 people to pray nationwide.

5. Mobilize Humanitarian Aid for the hurting, displaced people. Food, clothes, shoes, school-books : anything that can be of help and blessing to people in need. You could also contribute “GIFT PACKS” for the Internally Displaced. A Gift Pack is a small box with some helpful toiletries for the displaced. Each gift pack will cost a mere 500/= to put together. Your church could give 10, 50, a 100 gift packs or more. We are looking for 100,000 gift packs to give to the hurting (see below for details)

As An Individual Believers

1. Join the Msafara : we need 200 volunteers to join the Msafara road trip. At each stop you will spend a day caring for, crying with and helping the internally displaced people. You will distribute gift packs, bless and pray for the hurting. After the first day you will spend the night in an overnight Kesha preparing the heavens for the spiritual warfare and cleansing service. During the prayer service the following day you will serve as an usher and prayer warriors. So sign up and come.

2. Pray, Pray, Pray : your pastor and the other Men & Women of God who go on this journey will be under personal spiritual attack. They need your prayers. Satan will not take this lightly and will hit back by causing disunity, illness, demonic attacks, possible accidents and logistical nightmares. Please call out other intercessors and prayer warriors and begin praying now. Inform your church leaders just in-case they have not heard, and ask them to join in for the sake of the nation. Set aside a regular day to fast and pray for the battle ahead.

3. Attend the National Night of Kesha at the appointed location nearest you . . . or organize one in your church or home. Fri 29th Feb, churches around the country will gather at large church venues citywide to Kesha. A list of such venues for each city will be advertised. Encourage your church to join in.
