Rev. Mark Machado’s Missionary Trip

Because of the changes of the laws since the first of the year I needed an visa to enter Kenya which was not needed as of last year. So I had a 2 day layover in London in a hotel. Finally after much time filling on the internet and your prayers, I received it and I arrived on Sunday instead of Friday. Then I took a small plane from Nairobi to Kakamega only a 45 minute flight…

I was teaching the first week on foundations, about repentance, and the baptism of the holy ghost… The congregation did not want to go on break but wanted me to continue teaching the fantastic truth’s from God’s Holy Word. 

God-bless you all and thank you for your prayers and support because of it not only am I going to Uganda this trip while traveling in Kenya, but the doors have opened to also go to Tanzania for next year, and to do Gifts of the Spirit training courses in all these three African nations. Praise the Lord,God of Israel forever! Thanks to Bishop Obed here in the photo, who is helping arrange these fantastic missionary trips.

Here are our daily class teachings uninvited guests…

Kakamega, KenyaBack to the Gifts of the Spirit course teaching and training with our daily two legged visitors…

Kakamega, KenyaI was invited to speak on the Christian radio station 101.7 in Kakamega by Bishop Josphat one of the Gifts of the Spirit students…(wearing the red, white and yellow cap, Bishop Obed is on my left, our radio host is on my right).

After teaching on the radio on, The Judgement Seat of Christ, we made a time for callers to ask questions, one man asked about going to Heaven do you need to tithe or go to church? I said no only believe and accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour! Praise God!

After the students were led into speaking in tongues and interpreting daily, finally they were led into exercising the other eight gifts of the spirit…
