Eye Has Not Seen

 

Dear beloved: Pics above, Lion of Judah, Masai Mara, Kenya; Tanzania Crusade, Mbeya

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."  v10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.  For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. v11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Beloved, as born again believers we are meant to enjoy the deep things of God, for Jesus said, "I will not leave you as orphans, but I will leave a Helper, an advocate, to abide in you and with you."  That means we have the wisdom and counsel of the Holy Spirit to guide as through this journey of life.  More than anything else this day we need wisdom and revelation, and discernment about what is going on about us,so we can see things as God sees them, and know when we are being deceived.  It is a major challenge in the end time battle, the spirit of the antichrist will come to deceive the whole world. I pray for the people in this ministry to be able to discern the things in the Spirit, so our efforts bring maximum benefit to the kingdom and the people and children we are working with.  It is a great challenge, especially for someone from a totally different culture and background. I appreciate your prayers and support, and request you pray even more for me and the leadership team here in Gather the Outcasts.  We want to know the things that God has prepared for us in Africa.  May God bless you as you pray!

Governing Authorities

Dear beloved:  Pics above, with Pygmies in Burundi;  Mitumba, second hand clothing market in Mumias

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For their is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.  v2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment upon themselves. v3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authorities? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. v4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 

Beloved, life goes on here in Kenya after a contentious but mostly peaceful election for President, Members of Parliament, and county offices.  The Lord gave me a detailed dream in October 2021 showing me the man He was going to raise up to be President; he is now the President Elect.  However, a challenge to the results of the Electoral Commission has been lodged by the opposition, so there will be a petition to the Supreme Court to settle the issue.  Keep praying for Kenya, that the final results will also be received peacefully.  Kenyans are ready to move on and just want to work and pay their school fees and get on with their lives. Even Jesus had to appear before the civil authorities at the time of His crucifixion; His fate was ultimately decided by a Governor Pontius Pilate. Pray for those in authority over you, that they will be a minister to you for good in these times of turmoil. It was Pilate who wrote a title on a board and posted it over Jesus on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Pilate also proclaimed, "I am innocent of the blood of this Just Person".  Maybe he had revelation.  We invite you to partner with Gather the Outcasts as we preach Christ and Him crucified!  May God bless you as you pray.

Bless the Poor

 

Dear beloved:  Prayers for healing at Tarime, TZ Crusade; feeding children at Living Water Children's fun day

Luke 14:12 Then Jesus said to him who had invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. v13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.  v14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Beloved, Jesus said when you give to the poor, it is God who repays you. That is a scripture we have to take to heart in Kenya, as every day people come to us asking for food, medical assistance, school fees, and any number of other needs they have. For most, we realize there will not be a repayment, even when one is promised. Our children's fun day is a case in point. Expenses for the day run about $100 to feed 150 children and pay the teachers and cook staff, but it is a kingdom investment well worth the cost..  We have many children coming early and staying late, even as young as three years up to age fifteen, anxious to hear the Bible stories and fill their little stomachs with a healthy meal. Even at the crusades, the blind, lame, and sick come seeking prayer and healing; most don't have money for expensive hospital treatments and medicines. They avoid hospitals because they know they will never be able to pay the bill to get out even if they are successfully treated. Join with us as we minister to the least of these of the Lord, you will receive your blessing at the resurrection of the just.  May God bless you as you pray!

Identity in Christ

 

Dear beloved: Pics, praying for the sick, Sabatia Crusade, Kenya; Mbeya Crusade, Tanzania

Mark 16:15 And Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,.v16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Ephesians 2:10  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Beloved, the faith of a believer is displayed, or manifests itself in good works.  Without the works, our faith is dead.  Many Christians are content to play it safe and stay in their comfort zone, resting on their confession and the promise of eternal life.  We have eternal life with Christ Jesus, praise God for that!  But God has called each and every believer to a higher plateau, a place of trusting in the authority and identity we have in Christ. To truly understand the identity we have in Christ means we can totally trust Him for provision, for health and healing, and for hundredfold blessings when we step into that unknown realm of faith.  God has spoken over you (beforehand) the works that He has prepared.  You can only know the blessings of accomplishing those works if you actually step out and do them. Abraham didn't just believe, he ventured forth into the far country. We invite you to step out in faith and partner with Gather the Outcasts Ministry in Africa.  We are planning another crusade in Arusha, Tanzania, and have other projects of training and evangelism going here in Kenya and other countries.  Be a part of a move of God.  May God bless you as you pray!

Gather the Outcasts

 

Dear beloved: Pics above, Dar es Salaam, TZ Crusade; Ngozi, Burundi Crusade

Micah 4:6 "In that day", says the Lord, "I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast and those whom I have afflicted; v7 I will make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation; and the Lord will reign over them in Mt. Zion from now on, even forever."

Beloved, it is with great pleasure that I look over the crusade pictures of the past few years, it is a bit like looking at photo albums of family. I thank God for all the prayers and support, and pastor associations that made the crusades possible. I thank God for all the people who came forward and made decisions at these crusades; their names I do not know, but I know they are written in the Lamb's book of life.  There will be a great reunion with them in heaven someday.  I'm sure some are already there, looking down as part of the cloud of witnesses upon the crusades of today. We are working on another crusade in September for Tanzania, we invite you to be a part of reaching the lost here in East Africa..The reward is the same for those who send and those who go.  Front line soldiers always depend on the provisions from behind the battle lines, without that support the battle cannot be sustained.  We also invite people to come and be a part of the prayer and evangelism teams, as we go to the streets to stir up fire before the crusade.  Pray about your part!  God bless you as you pray.
