Dear beloved: Above pictures: Top, Makarubi Choir at the Goma, Congo, Crusade; below, students crying out to the Lord at the Nairobi Kesha
I am happy to report that I have made it back to Kansas City, USA, and am resting comfortably here. I thank God for the safe travel and good health over the many miles that I have traveled on this tour of Africa. It is good to see smooth roads again! I will be spending a few days in the area with my two daughters and grandson, then will be going back out to Norton.
Thank you again to all you warriors for your prayers and support. Testimonies of healings and how God stirred revival in all the places where meetings were held continue to pour in. To God goes the glory, He alone is worthy of our praise. I learned a short little chorus in Congo, " You are Alpha and Omega, We worship You alone, You are worthy to be praised!"
Matthew 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people. v36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. v37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. v38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
Beloved, the harvest in Africa is plentiful. I pray that you would continue to partner with Gather the Outcasts Ministry to bring in the harvest, and to bring the healing power of the blood of Jesus to those who are weary and scattered. Pray about becoming a monthly partner. I will be going back to Africa in the summer of 2016, to preach the gospel and help with the construction of the Living Water Orphanage project near Mumias, Kenya. The Lord has shown me He wants me to take a team to work on the orphanage project. Would you consider going to Africa for a short term mission trip to work on the orphanage home for 50 children? It would be a thrilling trip of a lifetime for you, and a blessing to the children in Kenya. Pray about your involvement and email me if you think you would be interested.
If you have enjoyed the newsletters of the Africa mission, consider ordering a copy of my new book, "Gather the Outcasts: Reaching the Lost in Africa" The book chronicles many events of revivals and crusades held from 2010 to 2014.

Dear beloved: Above is a picture from the student Kesha held Friday night at Multimedia University in Nairobi. We had about 125 students from six different universities, it was a time of great praise and worship, then preaching and crying out to the Lord. I thought the roof was going to come off the place during the time of dancing and praise! The Lord also provided me with a guitar to play, so I led a session of worship as well. We ended the Kesha on our knees and with our faces to the wall, crying out to the Lord for protection from the enemy, and to tear down strongholds of the enemy over the country. It is hard to put into words all that happened, just suffice it to say God knows the sum of it all- it was a very powerful time. We are in expectation the Lord will do great and mighty things in response to the prayers.
Dear beloved: Pictures above; 1. planting trees on Living Water Orphanage Land near Mumias, Kenya 2. tree planting crew, Pastor Lucas family. The young man at top left, Stephen, is the one who had HIV/AIDS four years ago when I came to preach crusade in Mumias. We prayed for him and the Lord healed him of AIDS 3. crusade meetings in Butembo, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Dear beloved: Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I am near Mombasa on the coast of Kenya, I have been preaching in house fellowships the last two days after arriving here by bus from Mumias. The word of God goes forth with power, power to save, power to heal, and power to deliver. I have prayed for many in the last two days who have been afflicted with all kinds of infirmities. Many here have illness and pains, while doctors and medical care are in short supply. This afternoon three ladies who were prayed for yesterday, came forward at the meeting and told of miraculous healings that the Lord Jesus had given them. And today many more came forward for prayers, including a man with a brain tumor that had caused his eyesight to fail, as well as a young boy about ten years of age who was very weak, and I believe likely has HIV. But I am expecting God to do even more for them and many others in the days ahead, as I will be preaching tomorrow in a church in the area, as well as conducting meetings next week
Dear beloved: I ask for your prayers in the days ahead, as time is rapidly approaching for the upcoming crusades and revival meetings in Africa. I have purchased tickets for the trip, stepping out in faith that "the Lord will provide all of my needs, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." I will be starting in Burundi August 7-9, then going on to Democratic Republic of Congo, then finishing up in Kenya with some student led all night kesha meetings. It is going to be a power packed time of the harvest in Africa.
