1 P.O. Box 277, Stanwood, WA Tel: (360) ~ Fax: (360) Rev. Dr. Jonathan Hansen Founder and President Kenya Mission Trip PL1/12 June 2012 In October 2011, a mission team from World Ministries International traveled to Kenya, East Africa. WMI Team members Apostle Reuben Esh (Founder of Beacon of Truth Ministries), Dr. Mike Hyodo, Apostle Jonathan Hansen, and Cameraman, Sean Bradley While there we met with Dr. Solomon Kimuyu and his team. Dr. Kimuyu is running for a parliament seat in Kenya and has been a guest on the Warning television program. 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 it and be judged by God with the rest of the nations? Dr. Jonathan Hansen speaking at Athi River First Baptist Church. Athi River First Baptist Church First Service Apostle Esh, Dr. Solomon Kimuyu, Dr. Hansen, Rev. Kathy Morgan, Lila Farmer - Secretary to Dr. Solomon, and Sean Bradley During our first Sunday in Kenya we ministered at 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.

Dr. Wellington Mutiso, Pastor of Athi River First Baptist Church and General Secretary of Evangelical Alliance of Kenya Dr. Hansen met with various bishops and church leaders at our Nairobi office. Rev. Samson Tinega, Pastor of Kenya Assemblies of God Olympic Church and Dr. Hansen 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. Dr. Hansen and Rev. James Kariuki walking through the Kwa Njenga slum. Inside the Kwa Njenga slum WMI sponsors the Comido Education Centre, a school for children. Apostle Esh, Dr. Hansen, Bishop Arthur Kitonga, founder and overseer of the Redeemed Gospel Churches located throughout Africa, and Rev.

Murimi, Founder of Truth Ministries International WMI South C Dental Staff with Dr. Mike, Dr. Hansen, and Apostle Esh to the right 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 in the Mukuru Kwa Njenga slum. Over 100,000 people call this slum their home. Dr. Hansen and Rev. James Kariuki, School Administrator, at the entrance to the Comido Education Centre where WMI helped build this beautiful fence and gate. 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. Page 2

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. Old library before renovations Librarian at the new library 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, potentially for the rest 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. Previous cooking pots, with charcoal used to prepare food Student using the new library In an area filled with hopelessness, these benevolence projects are making a big impact on the lives and 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 give a gift so we can do more to help families in the slums? New energy-efficient cooking pots Children at the Comido School gather and listen as Dr. Hansen shares about Jesus Christ. WMI has currently established eight dental clinics in Kenya, with the goal to complete four more quickly coming to pass. Page 3

A group photo with pastors attending the Pastors Conference 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 the 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. Apostle Esh shares during the morning services at Athi River First Baptist Church. 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.

Group photo of the WMI Dental staff in Kenya and our Kenya mission trip team 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. Blessings
