Sowing and Reaping

2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. v7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. v8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 

Beloved, no good farmer would dare think to plant less corn seeds per acre thinking he is saving money. Or buy cheap or counterfeit seed like we have in Kenya, thinking he will get an abundant harvest. Farmers plant the best seed and and a good rate, then fertilize and wait for a great harvest.  So it is sowing into the kingdom of God.  As you sow, you shall also reap. This ministry is good soil and we are seeing a good harvest. We have seen many thousands led to the Lord Jesus in the gospel crusades and church revivals, as well as many children are being taught Bible stories about Jesus at our twice monthly Funday. We are also in construction phase of a primary school to give the Makunda children a good education as well as teach them Bible stories. Makunda, the "forgotten place" in local language, is getting a new name written by Almighty God.  This week all Kenyan children are back to school, providing they have the fees. One of our church members and good farm worker needed $4.00usd to get his wife's sister back in school, she had been out a week after being sent home. She is form 4, or what we would call a Senior in High School.  I couldn't help him, I didn't have $4.00 to spare.  Pray about your part in sowing into good soil here in Africa.  The Bible says, "he who lends to the poor, is lending to the Lord, and the Lord will repay." (Prov. 19:17)  May God bless you as you pray!
