Orus, a desolate village in Northern Kenya, is home to the Pokot people. During a two-year drought, the village diviners had traveled to the mountains with their best animals to sacrifice and plead to their gods for rain. A young, enthusiastic missionary among them told them of the greatness of Jesus Christ. “Can your God send rain?” the people asked him. The missionary responded that Jesus was able, but that the people first needed to repent of their sins and then to pray in Jesus’ name alone. Days later, as the missionary returned from a nearby village, Pokot people greeted him with news of rain. During the Sunday service, an old diviner stood among the congregation and proclaimed, “Truly it is Jesus who has power with God.”
