Kenya Mission Update

Dear beloved: The dates for the Kenya crusades have been set and the wheels are in motion for planning of two mighty miracle crusades in that country. The first will be in Kibera, Nairobi, July 26-30, five nights in the open air in the largest slum in Africa. The second will be in Mumias in west Kenya, August 2-6, again 5 nights outdoors. Please pray for these points regarding the crusades: 1. for many to come to know the Lord Jesus as personal lord and savior 2. for miraculous healings of the masses 3. for safe travel, good health and safety for myself, the team with me, and the pastors who I will be working with 4. for all plans to go smoothly and that the devil would not succeed in coming against any of the planning to delay or disrupt 5. for all the necessary provision, that we would not be lacking in anything necessary for the success of these crusades.

It has been prophesied over me that 800 people would come to know the Lord the first time that I speak over there, and the Lord would give more if I ask Him for them. Of coarse I have asked Him for a double portion. In addition, at least 681 people would receive miraculous healings the second night of the crusade according to a prophetic dream given to an inmate disciple. Please pray that these prophesies will be fulfilled literally, with a double portion.

There is still need for provision for funding these crusades. Beloved, if God is putting it on your heart to help send me and a team to Kenya for these exciting crusades, contact me through the website www.gathertheoutcasts.com or email me at purepraire@hotmail.com. We still are short about $10,000. There is also still an opportunity to go if you are interested. The cost would be about $2500 per person, including airfare. We will be gone about two and a half weeks. Please pray about your part in contributing to the expenses, or in going yourself. This will be an opportuntiy of a lifetime. In addition to the crusades at night, we will be doing pastor training and visits to orphans and others in need during the day. May God be glorified in all that we do as we walk through the doors that He has opened in Kenya. God bless you, in Christ, Jim

Don't Quit Praying Yet

Dear beloved: I have had a couple of people ask me over the coarse of the last year, do you think we should quit praying for America?, as God told Jeremiah to quit praying for the people of Judah. Jeremiah 14:10 Thus says the Lord to this people, "Even so they have loved to wander; they have not kept their feet in check. Therefore the Lord does not accept them; now He will remember their iniquity and call their sins to account." v11 So the Lord said to me, "Do not pray for the welfare of this people. v12 When they fast, I am not going to listen to their cry, and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather, I am going to make an end of them by the sword, famine and pestilence."

As we look at the daily headlines, and the things happening in our country and being promoted by certain people in our government and court systems, we are often tempted to say, What's the use?, and just give up. And we rationalize that we know the prophetic destiny of America is to turn her back on Israel and line up with all the ungodly nations of the world, so again why not just give up and let the slide go even faster. Beloved, we are called to stand against evil and the schemes of the devil no matter where he rears his ugly head or how far down the road to apostasy this nation goes. So keep praying, for God's sake, for your sake, and for the sake of your children and your children's children. Contend for your nation, your family, your church. Yes, prophecies declared over this nation will eventually come to pass, but can we persevere and intercede so that we can say in our generation, we held fast in the face of calamity and evil.

Can you imagine our loving and compassionate God of the universe, saying at some point about America, I won't receive any more prayers for their welfare or offerings on their behalf. I do not want to hear the Lord say those words while on my watch. I would much rather the outcome be as it was in Nineveh, when Jonah went to that city and preached the message of repentance to them, to turn from their wicked ways. Jonah 3:5 Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them. v10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it. Beloved, do not give up, stay on your knees! God bless you, in Christ, Jim
