1
00:00:05,242 --> 00:00:07,014
For many of us, getting a drink of water

2
00:00:07,014 --> 00:00:09,297
is as simple as turning on the faucet,

3
00:00:09,297 --> 00:00:13,113
but here in Northern Kenya,
getting water is a lot more work.

4
00:00:14,041 --> 00:00:17,663
For most of the year, rain is nothing more
than a distant memory.

5
00:00:17,663 --> 00:00:20,194
In the dry months, stream beds dry up

6
00:00:20,194 --> 00:00:22,294
and finding water becomes a challenge.

7
00:00:22,551 --> 00:00:24,888
Digging under the sand like this

8
00:00:24,888 --> 00:00:27,669
is the only way to get
a simple drink around here.

9
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:49,801
Julius is a Global Mission Pioneer
working in this part of Kenya.

10
00:00:49,801 --> 00:00:53,663
He came here to share the gospel message
with this remote group.

11
00:00:53,663 --> 00:00:57,148
Through Christ's method, Julius
has developed real relationships

12
00:00:57,148 --> 00:00:58,470
with the villagers,

13
00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:01,972
and many of them have accepted
Jesus into their hearts.

14
00:01:01,972 --> 00:01:05,060
Sadly, these new believers don't have
a church building of their own

15
00:01:05,060 --> 00:01:06,678
to worship in.

16
00:01:06,678 --> 00:01:10,590
They meet regularly inside
this humble mud-walled building.

17
00:01:11,457 --> 00:01:14,689
This space is a public facility
owned by the area chief,

18
00:01:15,244 --> 00:01:17,009
and he allows them to gather here.

19
00:01:18,161 --> 00:01:21,618
The villagers hope to have
an Adventist church building someday.

20
00:01:22,128 --> 00:01:24,522
They trust that God will provide for them

21
00:01:24,522 --> 00:01:27,543
and are grateful for the temporary space
they worship in now.

22
00:01:28,316 --> 00:01:30,790
This has been the location
of countless Bible studies,

23
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:33,306
prayer meetings, and singing sessions.

24
00:01:33,306 --> 00:01:36,274
Julius loves discussing new topics
with the villagers

25
00:01:36,274 --> 00:01:38,451
and they are eager to learn more.

26
00:01:40,778 --> 00:01:42,976
Joseph and Penina are married

27
00:01:42,976 --> 00:01:45,867
and they've been studying the Bible
with Julius for quite some time now.

28
00:01:46,586 --> 00:01:48,872
They have committed their lives to Jesus,

29
00:01:48,872 --> 00:01:51,257
but haven't had the opportunity
to be baptized yet.

30
00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:54,365
Joseph and Penina
have been waiting about a year

31
00:01:54,365 --> 00:01:57,367
for enough rain to come to this area
so they can get baptized.

32
00:01:58,228 --> 00:02:01,569
It is so dry, that it isn't possible
without a good rain.

33
00:02:02,323 --> 00:02:04,342
Until then, they wait patiently,

34
00:02:04,342 --> 00:02:06,830
and continue studying
and learning with Julius.

35
00:02:08,772 --> 00:02:13,270
Despite the challenges, God is doing
amazing things in villages like this

36
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:16,028
through the work
of Global Mission Pioneers.

37
00:02:16,028 --> 00:02:20,109
Julius and other Pioneers in Kenya
ask for your prayers.

38
00:02:20,109 --> 00:02:22,504
Advancing the work can be difficult here,

39
00:02:22,504 --> 00:02:25,593
but God's faithful servants
are eager to share his message.

40
00:02:26,172 --> 00:02:29,076
Please pray for Pioneers around the globe,

41
00:02:29,076 --> 00:02:31,368
and consider how you can support them.

42
00:02:31,368 --> 00:02:33,846
Thank you for supporting mission.
