Welcome

This blog is for my prayer partners who faithfully interceeded during the Sharing of Ministries Abroad (SOMA) Tanzania 2007 trip.

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy in believing that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

Tanzania 2007 was about hope informed by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit to make Jesus real and bring healing to anyone who hungers for wholeness in mind, body and spirit.

Scroll to the end of the blog to meet the team. Thank you, Mefi for organizing the local team to pray and for sending out emails.

Bishop John reports


The following is based on a letter from Bishop John Lupaa to Gail Patton, our team co-ordinator. The photo shows Bishop John with his wife Devota at the Nkonko seminar.

Thank you for coming to do the seminars in the Anglican Diocese of the Rift Valley (DRV). Thanks for those who contributed the money for this wonderful mission. Thank you SOMA–USA leadership for supporting the seminars. And please thank all intercessors who prayed during and after the seminars.

“This simple teaching about Jesus has big power!”

“We’ve never before received such thorough and deep teaching.”

“This was the first big seminar in Manyoni in which all denominations participated fully.”

These comments, heard from around the diocese, celebrate what the Lord accomplished between July 4 and 24, 2007. Thousands attended the 11 seminars conducted by the SOMA teams.

In one day at Manyoni, more than 200 accepted Christ; Chikuyu about 20; Chikola about 150. Many received inner healing or physical healing. God healed one woman of heart decease! Others were set free from evil spirits. Even witch doctors opted to follow Jesus.

One story involves a husband, his wife and his sister–in-law. The husband had had an affair with his sister-in–law. She conceived and bore a child. As a result enmity, hatred, and inner hurt developed between the women. During the seminar they received inner healing and publicly forgave each other.

Pastors have started teaching the seminar at their local churches and report that God is faithful; they are experiencing the same power in their seminars!

Please pray for the DRV as we appoint new SOMA leadership and train teachers who will teach others to teach the Emotionally Free® material. Ask Jesus to grant the money for his ministry.
