Sara and I noticed that an Athlete from Kenya while we were in line at the McDonalds. We ask him if we could visit with him. He went to sit down and we went to get chairs and turned to see his head bowed. He was praying. We then began to share with him the POWER PIN and he immediately stated that he believed God had told him to come to meet us. His team had stayed behind in the hotel but he really felt God pressing him to come and said, “As soon as I saw you sharing about the POWER of JESUS I knew why God wanted me here!” We then accompanied him back to his hotel where we met the Kenyan Team. At first they wanted clarity – You Jehovah Witnesses? We said, “Absolutely NOT! We believe in the power of the resurrected God-Jesus Christ!” The Deaf Kenyans rose to celebrate! We shared a faith in JESUS and there was cause to celebrate! There in the lobby a group of eleven Deaf athletes from the Kenyan delegation stood up and sang a song for us. The coach looked on concerned until we told him we too are Christians! We were able to share the POWER PIN plus they were quick to want to also share the POWER in THEM!!! So we gave them PINS and trained them in the POWER PRESENTATION. We also made plans to meet together again to worship our Lord Jesus Christ! We gathered in a circle and I was able to pray for the team; their protection, their witness, their victory – in Christ. –Parker
