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!
