While we were working with a veteran missionary family, I was praying concerning where the Lord would have us plant a church. It had come to my attention that there was property in Olkeri, Kenya where a church building had been vacant for some years. Olkeri is in a region that is home to over 300,000 people. After much prayer, we believe the Lord would have us begin a church at this location. When I had opportunity to visit the property, I was reminded of Ezekiel’s vision of the valley filled with dry bones and how the Lord asked him this question in Ezekiel 37:3, “…Son of man, can these bones live?” And (Ezekiel) answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.” Ezekiel realized that, to man, for dry bones to live again is impossible; it is only God who could breathe life once again to very dry bones. In the same manner, only the Lord can build His church in Olkeri, a place that has not had a Bible-believing church in several years.
