Diviners accept Jesus Christ
After the ACMI family celebrations, I went and stayed home for three days before proceeding to the desert. My family is doing okay. God has really blessed us with peace as a family and I really love my wife because she encourages me so. And my kids are also special, they sing to me when I am down. I really thank God for my family.

As I was getting ready to go back into the desert, I went to see the D.C to help me with some relief food for my fellow villagers who are dying of hunger. The famine has pushed them to such amounts of despondency that they are even selling their kids for survival.

I went to the villages with food and began preaching. One of the new villages to launch into is Kerio Ngimurea where I have about 4,000 people. Two diviners who have been based there got saved and are now continuing with God’s word.

They were talking to people about the love I have for them and how I am helping them. I am nurturing them so that they may not go back to the worldly things. I want them to be prophets and prophetess of God.

Since then I took one of my pastor’s wife who was pregnant and I did my work and it wasn’t successful. I was then connected to a missionary friend who is working at the same place but a bit far from where I have planted a church. Some guys helped me bring the lady to the hospital where she was operated on. So she is still in hospital and waiting to deliver in July.

What I am currently on is training and nurturing pastors. There are 43 of them in the surrounding areas deep in the desert. The forty three are different from the forty that I am training in Lokori desert. I do not train them in a school or some establishment of the sort. I have to go to the specific areas they are based at.

The drought is still a major limiting factor in this mission because people are now moving farther and farther away in search of green pastures. People are starving to death in the central and southern part of Turkana. And so are the animals. It’s my wish that we unite in prayers so that God may hear the cry of his people and send some rain.

My target this year is to go and visit all diviners in Turkana district. Whatever it takes, I’ll be there. I am also targeting Sudan with the strategy of reaching out to the 12tribes that speak the same language as the Turkana’s. We have Jie, Masenuko, Topasa, Marilee and others placed at the border of Uganda and Kenya, Sudan and Kenya, Ethiopia and Kenya. Those are my areas of operation.

And now because I have a ‘pik or pikipiki’ (motorcycle), Oh! My goodness. I will be…‘Flying’ all over. It will make my work easier. God blessed Benson with a motocycle after hearing the story of how he walks for many miles and many days without water. He has lost some of his fellow workers this way. »»»

The diviners do not really understand the salvation of God because they have lived like that for long. The first time I came to the village they thought that maybe I am one of those who are cowed by them. Many have really tried to come to the village but end up running away because of their powers. But the Lord had given me strategies on how to reach them. I had spent a lot of time in prayer and I knew what the Spirit of God spoke to me and what strategies to use. So the first time I went there I simply greeted them and when they heard that this is a man that God has brought to the village… they couldn’t come rushing to me because according to them they said that they had seen many people accompanying me (maybe angels). I think their spirits were seeing something unique and I thank God because they feared me because I have Jesus. Through their confessions they began talking to people. In Turkana they would say, “Greater is a man, who is concerned when you are about to die. This is a friend.” That’s what they said about me.

Those kinds of confessions helped draw more souls to Jesus. In the same village I have 1,390 members. I have a big church “bigger than any other bishop in the world”. So that is what we are doing right now and we really thank God. I know it is because of your prayers. I know there are many people who are spending their time praying for me and it is these prayers that have done all this. I have nothing with which to glorify myself. It is all about Jesus. It is Jesus I want glorified. He is the real desert boy; I am just a cover, a human being called Benson but a desert boy too.
