Why JCfan-Khakava?

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 I recently graduated from Bethel Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree. Following my graduation I promised my family and friends who follow my International ministry that I will start blogging on a regular basis. After experiencing several site difficulties at my previous blog address, I have decided to start a new one here. You might be wondering what JCfan stands for. It simply means "Jesus Christ fan." I am a big fan of Jesus Christ because of what He is doing in my life and in the lives of millions of people all around the world. I am His follower and live my life guided by His Word and philosophy. I came to know Him at an early age of four. So, we go way back in our friendship. "Khakava" simply means "All sufficient God" in the Luhya language spoken in parts of Western Kenya where I was born. This name of God is the equivalent of the Biblical Jehovah Jireh in the Old Testament. It speaks of God's love, care and generosity toward all humanity. I always come to God with open hands and ready to receive believing that God wants to give us a lot in this life. And then with open hands I give it all away believing that I cannot outgive God. It is an absolutely liberating attitude to life. Most of what you will read on this blog will be either reflections on what JC is doing around the world in people's lives, insights on leadership, or wisdom I am gleaning from my walk with Him in His Word. I may share some opinions on various contemporary issues of spiritual significance as well. I hope we can have vigorous interactions. Most importantly, I hope we get to see JC more clearly at work in our lives and the world. So, a big welcome to you as you journey alongside my musings.

    Welcome to the blogspot world, Sammy! Sorry I didn't get back to you about golfing...I should have. This week is just very busy for me and I actually have no time to hit the links. Hopefully next week will work better, possibly Tuesday or Thursday. Shoot me an email if either of those two days works for you.

    God bless you, brother!

No Room in the Inn...21st Century Version

It is the Christmas season 2009.  Like Joseph and Mary 2000 years ago, a young couple are on the virge of the birth of their first baby boy.  Although they are doing everything to prepare for the big day, it still catches them by surprise.  Instead of the regular 40 weeks, the baby is arriving six weeks early. Because they are not expecting it this early, their bags are not packed nor is the nursery fully furnished.  Safe for an early morning warning in a dream to the father to prepare to be in a delivery room and with assurance (from the Lord) that it would be o.k, the day started off as any other day. At 6:00 AM, the couple prays together for about 40 minutes in their home in Victoria.  They take showers.  At about 7:30 AM, the husband goes to work briefly from his home office while the wife prepares something for their breakfast together. Within a couple hours they will have a routine prenatal doctor's appointment.  Later in the evening the wife's sister and her two beau

The Other Frontline in the Battle for Souls- By Suzanne Wanyonyi

I've learned quite a bit while Sammy's been away in India. Other wives have told me over the years, that when their husbands are gone for ministry for extended periods of time, the enemy tries to attack during the husband's absence by causing the garage door to break, or the toilets to break or the hot water heater to go out. So, from the very beginning of our marriage I anticipated those things and shared my concern about them with Sammy. He understood. We've always had a plan in case something breaks around the house while he's away. Well, none of those things have ever happened. Other things have happened.  During this latest mission, while nearly 80,000 people were being won to Christ, the attack came in a way I wasn't expecting: The kids. There were more than a few nights where I had about 2 hours of sleep because the kids kept waking up. With Malaika it's not so uncommon, but Junior has slept from 8-8 for as long as I can remember. He'

Malawi Day 6- Breakthrough At Last as Hundreds Respond in Lilongwe!

Sammy Wanyonyi gives the evangelistic message in Lilongwe, Malawi on Sunday evening. Finally, God crowned our efforts with breakthrough as several thousands of people flocked onto the local soccer field in Area 25 of Malawi's Capital Lilongwe, to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Several hundreds responded to the call of Salvation. Now we are praying and looking forward to a great harvest of souls on the closing night of the Festival here tomorrow, Wednesday night.  Until then, it had been a tough week, to say the least.  On the openning night of the events last Wednesday September 1st, it felt frustrating.  The rally was scheduled to start too late in the night.  The sun sets by 6:00 PM here.  But the events started around 7:30 PM.  In a country where power is unreliable, it was not surprising that half-way through the program we lost power.  The few hundred people that had gathered began to scatter in the dark.  By the time my friend Nick Hall got up to speak, we barely ha
