It was on last August 2011, we were having an Open Air Meeting at Watamu in Katikati Baptist church area. At that meeting one raster came out to confess Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. A Rastafarian is any man with long and shabby hair. At the coast in Kenya this is the term they are known for. It’s a kind of religion to them. Now the problem was with his long hair. Many of my church members wondered if he would be allowed in church with such hair. People real fear such people with that kind of hair because most of them are druggists or take all kinds of drugs. So I took him a side and asked him if he could shave or make up his head well when he will be coming to church on Sunday. He agreed and promised to shave his hair. On 28th August 2011, that was his first Sunday when he came to church. Many were amazed and confused thinking that he was not the man. He is now a member of the Katikati Baptist Church. He promised to win others of his former class to Christ in the coming days. At Watamu there are so many Rastafarian and are one of the hardest groups of people to reach with the Gospel. Many claim to be religious and that’s all. This man is 38 years old and is called Mazima.
