Living Water

Dear beloved: Pics, Banana plantation with soybeans intercrop; Living Water spring

John 4:10 Jesus answered the Samaritan woman, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink,"  you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water." v13 and Jesus answered her again and said, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, v14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The water that I shall give him will become in him the fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."

Beloved, when I need a reminder of the everlasting nature of God, I go out to the Living Water spring and get a good drink and sit and relax beside it.  It keeps pouring forth beautiful, clear, drinkable water day after day, year after year.  Water is life, it nourishes our children, crops, and livestock.  We also share it with the villagers in the area, they can have all they want at no charge. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, there is water that brings everlasting life, and once you have it, you will never thirst again. He then proceeded to prophesy to the lady, told her details of her personal life that she knew only God could know.  Before the conversation was over, Jesus told her that the one she was talking to was the Christ, the Messiah.  We named the children's home and church Living Water, we wanted to promote our ministry message as the gift of God that springs up to eternal life.  What more could we have to offer?  We invite you to partner with us as we take the soul cleansing message of the gospel to a dry and thirsty land.  Pray about your part in making an impact with a year end gift that will live on for all eternity.  May God bless you as you pray!

Arusha Crusade

 

Dear beloved: Pics, Singers at Arusha Crusade; preaching the word

Isaiah 41:17 The poor and the needy seek water, but there is none. Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. v18 I will open rivers in desolate heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 

Beloved, we had a good cruade in Arusha, TZ, for four days we plowed and broke up the hard ground.  Arusha is a center for tourism and also a center for other faiths, so it was not easy reaping the harvest.  In the end the Lord's word does not come back to Him void.  We had many salvation decisions, and some great testimonies of healing and deliverance. Many more were set free of witchcraft demons and mental torment.  Possibly the greatest breakthrough came on Sunday, the final day of the crusade.  It had been extremely dry around Arusha, and all over Masai land of Tanzania and Kenya. I spoke on the first day, "It will rain during the crusade."  Sunday it started to rain just as the crusade was ready to start, and it rained hard for an hour, then slowly began to clear.  We were able to have a shortened program with the crowd standing and dancing in the mud.  May the Lord be glorified in all kinds of weather.  But everyone was very thankful for the rain, and it rained again on Monday, and followed us all the way to Nairobi. The Lord opened up the skies over Masai land that has been in the grip of extreme drought and famine.  Pray for the Masai and for those who received salvation at the crusade.  Thank you for your prayers and support.!  You can see more pictures at my facebook link,   www.facebook.com/jimrowh

Mountain of the Lord

 

Dear beloved: pics, Arusha, TZ, Crusade poster; elephants in front of scenic Mt. Kilimanjaro

Micah 4:1 And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.  v2 Many nations shall come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths."  v6 "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, So the Lord will reign over them in Zion, from now on and forever."

Beloved, we are excited to be going to Arusha, TZ, this coming week for a four day crusade.  Arusha is a beautiful city that sits at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at over 19,300 feet in elevation.  It is a gateway for many tourists who come to climb the mountain, and also a gateway to the Serengeti Plain, the wildlife corridor that stretches from central Tanzania up into the Masai Mara in southern Kenya. Millions of wildebeest, zebra, impala, buffalo and other wild animals migrate through this corridor every year looking for fresh grass to sustain themselves and their newborns.  We are going for a different purpose as the Lord has opened a door for us to preach the gospel and bring in the harvest of souls.  Pray with us that we will have a successful crusade, and that many who don't know Jesus will have a personal encounter with Him. You can be a part of this crusade if you would like to send a donation to help support the evangelists and pastors who are on the team to host this crusade.  In addition, we have significant travel expenses for those of us coming from Kenya.  Pray about your part, God is moving in Tanzania!  May God bless you as you pray.

Our Reedmer

 

Dear beloved: pics, sister Eliza baptized into Jesus; mass salvations in Ngozi, Burundi Crusade

1Peter 1:18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, v19 but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. v20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, v21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Jesus from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

When God created Adam from the dust of the earth, and then Eve from Adam's rib, He placed them in a garden of perfect bliss and peace.  They had all the provision they would ever need without striving for it. He also placed a barrier between Himself and them, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  He told Adam, "all the trees of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for if you eat of it, you shall surely die."  Did God know that Adam and Eve would sin and lead us into the fallen world?  Yes, He knew.  Peter tells that Jesus was foreordained before the foundation of the world to be our precious Redeemer. God always had a plan in place to bring fallen man back to Him, a way whereby we can overcome the evil of this fallen world.  As we prepare for our crusade in Arusha, Tanzania, Nov. 10-13, pray for us and and also pray about your part in helping send our team of evangelists and pastors to bring in the harvest. You don't need to come to Tanzania, though you are welcome, but you can be a part of the story by financially supporting the ministry. If you can't go, send!  May God bless you as you pray!
