Powers and Principalities

Daniel 10:10 Suddenly a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. v11 And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you."  While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. v12  Then he said to me, " Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words."
Beloved, the saints of the Most High God are in a battle with the powers and principalities over the nations.  These battles are not easily won; the enemy does not give up territory easily, especially when they have held that territory for years and generations.  The battle is not for the faint.  Now is the time to intensify prayer.  But know this, that from the first day you set yourself to speak to God and battle for His kingdom, your prayers will be heard. "If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land."  At Living Water Children's Home we are battling for the future of Kenya by raising up strong Christian children of God.  Pictured above is Centrine, a grade 8 student at the home.  She is a total orphan, but she loves Jesus and is smiling all the time.  She wants to be a teacher when she finishes her education.  We invite you to partner with Gather the Outcasts as we mold the leaders of tomorrow in Kenya.  You can become a monthly partner and contribute to Centrine's success by providing for her food, shelter, and education.  Pray about your part in changing the destiny of the nations.  May God bless you as you pray!

the Human Heart

Dear beloved:  Pics, neighborhood children at Makunda; green vegetables for the orphan children at Living Water

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?  v10 I the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 12:5 If you have run with the footmen and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses?

Beloved, we are now half way through the year 2020, it seems this year we have been running with the footmen. Without your feet planted firmly on the rock, it is very easy to get weary and disoriented. Soon enough we will be contending with horses, so set your eyes on Jesus.  Bring your focus back to Him and He will lead you though.  In spite of all the shakings, this has been a very productive year for Gather the Outcasts.  We have opened the children's home and are really enjoying the presence of the children there.  They are in our school five days a week, then Saturday is a work day for them to help out around the farm.  Sunday is their day to worship the Lord.  Speaking of that, tomorrow will be our first church service in the new church, and our first service in four months! We are looking forward to a great day together with the Lord.  Corona protocols are still in place, but we can have a gathering with up to one hundred people. We thank the Lord for all the prayers and support to get the church building up and finished.  When the travel restrictions are lifted, plan to come to Kenya to encourage and share with the good people here in Kenya.  Karibu, we welcome you.  Pray about your partnership with Gather the Outcasts Ministry as we take the good news of the gospel to people all over East Africa.  May God bless you as you pray!
