AFRICA MISSION CONFERENCE with VAUGHN MARTIN

Over 100 Mombassa regional pastors attended a three day AFRICA MISSION CONFERENCE sponsored by Vaughn Martin of Belgium. The conference was held in a hotel in Kilifi, a city along the Indian Ocean near Mombassa. The conference focussed upon the call of God that is upon the Kenyan church. The conference included prophetic ministry and teaching focussed upon preparing Kenyan church leaders to overcome during the difficult days that lie ahead. A very difficult test is facing the Kenyan nation, a time of darkness in which many things will collapse.

The prophecy of Isaiah 60:1-3 states: ‘Arise shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”

This prophetic word will be fulfilled in Kenya. Many missionaries will be sent from Kenya into the nations of the world. The vision of the AFRICA MISSION CONFERENCE is to open a school to train and send Kenyan missionaries into other parts of the world, particularly Africa and Asia. Vaughn and his team are planning to open this missions school in 2013 in the area of Ukunda, near Mombassa. The school will be known as UKUNDA MISSIONS SCHOOL. A plot of ground has been purchased and funds are being raised to develop the property.

In the past year Vaughn and his team have held four different conferences in cities across Kenya introducing the vision of the AFRICA MISSION CONFERENCE to hundreds of pastors. The next conference is scheduled for the end of April in Nakuru, Kenya.

“Do you know what you have received?” Vaughn Martin asked the 100 pastors gathered on the shores of the Indian Ocean for a three day conference. “You have cried out to God and you have seen the glory and the power of God. Now, God is raising you up to share His glory with the nations.”

John Harris, a member of Vaughn’s team from North Carolina, prophesied over the pastors, “Blessed is the womb of Kenya. Your are pregnant with the things of God. Thousands will be sent out from Kenya to the nations with the message and glory of God.”

I ( E. Daniel) testified to the pastors that I owe a debt to the Kenyan Church. I was a pastor, a bishop and a psychiatrist but I needed something more. Through my interactions with Kenyan Christians I began to see that ‘the something more’ was the Holy Spirit in my life. Yes, I believed in the Holy Spirit but I did not walk with a sense that ‘without Him I could do nothing but with Him I could do all things’.

I read the scripture Luke 11:13 with new understanding. Jesus says … ‘How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.’ I came to see that receiving was as simple as asking with confidence that God would be true to what He said.

So, I asked for the gift of the anointing of the Holy Spirit and I received. Now I keep on asking for a daily anointing of His presence. I can say with deep gratitude that ‘the Lord is faithful to his word’.

It is morning here in Mombassa on the shores of the Indian Ocean (eight hours ahead in time). I am speaking at a pastor’s conference coordinated by my son, Vaughn. Vaughn is starting a training school for pastor’s here in Okunda, just outside the city of Mombassa. Last evening we met at the site to pray. Vaughn’s team had just spent three days on the site praying. We are sensing that God wants to do something here that will bless the nations.
