The nation of Kenya professes to be 80% Christian, but Islam is attempting to take over the country. Much like America, the people are losing their freedoms and the New World Order is moving toward removing the sovereignty of Kenya. This is being seen in all nations and will result in the persecution of Christians.
Some nations will fight the anti-Christ and the New World Order. Will the church in Kenya and America rise up and fight the One World Government, or will they go along with the rest of the nations?
During our first Sunday in Kenya we ministered at the Athi River First Baptist Church for two morning services. Dr. Hansen preached with great boldness and anointing. He proclaimed to the church the urgency of the hour we are living in and the need for the church to rise up and take back Kenya before they lose their freedoms and come under tyranny.

Stopping by our South C Dental office, Apostle Hansen and Apostle Esh spoke with the staff about the importance of having fresh manna each day. We need to spend time with God every day to be empowered and refreshed. Yesterday’s time with God will not work for today; we need fresh manna every day.

The staff enjoys their time together with Dr. Hansen as he does not travel to Kenya very often to share.
WMI is involved in many benevolence projects in Kenya, one of which is the Mukuru Kwa Njenga slum. Over 100,000 people call this slum their home.

Through the support of our partners who give financially, we have been able to provide a number of improvements to the school in order to better care for the children at Comido Education Centre.
A water well was drilled and installed. This provides clean water for the school children and serves those in the surrounding slum area.

Another project was completed in the school kitchen. These before and after photos show that the previous small metal cooking pots have been replaced with large, energy-efficient cooking pots, allowing for more food to be prepared in a safe and rapid manner.

In addition, a beautiful new library was built for the students to use.

Kwa Njenga Slum
Notice the difference between the living conditions in the slum area and the conditions in the school. Families and their children live in the midst of poverty and disease each and every day of their lives. This school represents hope to these Kenyans in what would otherwise be a dark future, and the people learn that there are godly people who really do care for them.
In an area filled with hopelessness, these benevolence projects are making a big impact on the lives and the hearts of people. We would like to do so much more to help people around the world. If God has touched your heart, would you please give a gift so we can do more to help families in the slums?
WMI has currently established eight dental clinics in Kenya, with the goal to complete four more quickly coming to pass.

Ten years ago mosques were not a common site in Kenya, but Islam has been buying land and rapidly putting up mosques throughout the country.

On Saturday, October 21st we were at Athi River First Baptist Church for a Pastors’ conference where Apostle Hansen and Apostle Esh spoke. Many pastors were bussed in from the outlying areas.

The following day our team was at Athi River First Baptist Church from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. In the two morning services, the difference in anointing of the Holy Spirit from the previous Sunday was even greater as the presence of God was more manifest and the expectancy of the people was increased.
Dr. Hansen declared that many leaders in the government are “dogs” as they are stealing from the people, and many bishops in the church are “hyenas” because they are feeding on the flock. He shared that the church in America and Kenya need to rise up and take back their nations.

Apostle Esh spoke on ministering angels. There are angels sent to help and minister to us, but there are also fallen angels that try to minister to us. We need to discern which is which. How can we know which are good and which are bad? By spending the time necessary to know the word of God, we can discern what is good and true versus that which is a lie and false.

After the two morning services, separate men’s and women’s meetings were held before coming together for a final combined service. At the men’s meeting Dr. Hansen, Dr. Hyodo and Rev. Esh all shared with the men.

At the house of professor Phillip Mbithi, former Cabinet Secretary for President Moi, Dr. Hansen shared and counseled for nearly eight hours.

Mbithi’s home.
Afterward, Professor Mbithi expressed his gratitude because, in all his experience as a government official, no one had ever counseled with him like Dr. Hansen did.
One of the highlights of our trip was the invitation from Vice President Kalonzo to have the WMI team over for dinner. For three hours Vice President Kalonzo and Dr. Hansen discussed many important issues, including President Obama. The Vice President also introduced us to Dr. Solomon Joloimat Lenengwesi, the Secretary General for the Global Parliament.

Before the term left for home, we hadn’t our first ever WMI all-staff retreat. Staff from all of the WMI Kenya dental clinics came and were treated to a very nice setting and lunch. Included in the day were presentations on what the ministry is doing in Kenya and throughout the world.

When we spend time daily with God, our relationship with Him is developed. We then become more sensitive to His voice and leading. As we listen and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, good things begin to happen. This trip was an example of that. The team members witnessed how the Holy Spirit brought people into our path and filled our schedule with divine appointments, such as with the Vice President of Kenya and the Secretary General for the Global Parliament. All in all it was a very fruitful mission trip.
