(ny-ROH-bee) – Students from all over the world come to Nairobi to study at a university. Ray is one who left everything he knew to pursue his degree. During his studies in Nairobi, he heard and understood the reality of being a sinner and his desperate need for a Savior. He quickly made the decision to turn from his sins and follow Jesus. He was baptized within a healthy church and became a member. When Ray traveled home during a school break to visit his family, he was confronted with ancestral worship and pressure from his family to forsake Christianity and partake in tribal worship practices. This same story is true for many of the students who become believers in Nairobi and then travel back to their hometowns. Pray that Ray and other students will have boldness as they live as a witness to the gospel in their home communities. Pray that each student will count the cost and see Jesus as worthy of the suffering they may face.
