For many of us, getting a drink of water

0:00:07.014,0:00:09.297
is as simple as turning on the faucet,

0:00:09.297,0:00:13.113
but here in Northern Kenya,[br]getting water is a lot more work.

0:00:14.041,0:00:17.663
For most of the year, rain is nothing more[br]than a distant memory.

0:00:17.663,0:00:20.194
In the dry months, stream beds dry up

0:00:20.194,0:00:22.294
and finding water becomes a challenge.

0:00:22.551,0:00:24.888
Digging under the sand like this

0:00:24.888,0:00:27.669
is the only way to get[br]a simple drink around here.

0:00:45.462,0:00:49.801
Julius is a Global Mission Pioneer[br]working in this part of Kenya.

0:00:49.801,0:00:53.663
He came here to share the gospel message[br]with this remote group.

0:00:53.663,0:00:57.148
Through Christ's method, Julius[br]has developed real relationships

0:00:57.148,0:00:58.470
with the villagers,

0:00:58.470,0:01:01.972
and many of them have accepted[br]Jesus into their hearts.

0:01:01.972,0:01:05.060
Sadly, these new believers don't have[br]a church building of their own

0:01:05.060,0:01:06.678
to worship in.

0:01:06.678,0:01:10.590
They meet regularly inside[br]this humble mud-walled building.

0:01:11.457,0:01:14.689
This space is a public facility[br]owned by the area chief,

0:01:15.244,0:01:17.009
and he allows them to gather here.

0:01:18.161,0:01:21.618
The villagers hope to have[br]an Adventist church building someday.

0:01:22.128,0:01:24.522
They trust that God will provide for them

0:01:24.522,0:01:27.543
and are grateful for the temporary space[br]they worship in now.

0:01:28.316,0:01:30.790
This has been the location[br]of countless Bible studies,

0:01:30.790,0:01:33.306
prayer meetings, and singing sessions.

0:01:33.306,0:01:36.274
Julius loves discussing new topics[br]with the villagers

0:01:36.274,0:01:38.451
and they are eager to learn more.

0:01:40.778,0:01:42.976
Joseph and Penina are married

0:01:42.976,0:01:45.867
and they've been studying the Bible[br]with Julius for quite some time now.

0:01:46.586,0:01:48.872
They have committed their lives to Jesus,

0:01:48.872,0:01:51.257
but haven't had the opportunity[br]to be baptized yet.

0:01:51.654,0:01:54.365
Joseph and Penina[br]have been waiting about a year

0:01:54.365,0:01:57.367
for enough rain to come to this area[br]so they can get baptized.

0:01:58.228,0:02:01.569
It is so dry, that it isn't possible[br]without a good rain.

0:02:02.323,0:02:04.342
Until then, they wait patiently,

0:02:04.342,0:02:06.830
and continue studying[br]and learning with Julius.

0:02:08.772,0:02:13.270
Despite the challenges, God is doing[br]amazing things in villages like this

0:02:13.270,0:02:16.028
through the work[br]of Global Mission Pioneers.

0:02:16.028,0:02:20.109
Julius and other Pioneers in Kenya[br]ask for your prayers.

0:02:20.109,0:02:22.504
Advancing the work can be difficult here,

0:02:22.504,0:02:25.593
but God's faithful servants[br]are eager to share his message.

0:02:26.172,0:02:29.076
Please pray for Pioneers around the globe,

0:02:29.076,0:02:31.368
and consider how you can support them.

0:02:31.368,0:02:33.846
Thank you for supporting mission.
