Revival Fires

Dear beloved:  Photos:  Left: Kibera-Nairobi, Kenya.  Right: Ngozi, Burundi.   Revival fires are stirring all across the earth. As people riot in the streets, and violence, wars, and rumors of wars increase, fires are breaking out in California, on the East Coast, and all over Africa.  The end times are here, the time of sorrows and birth pangs.  It will truly be the worst of times, but the best of times for the harvest of souls for the kingdom.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow(slack) about His promise, as some men count slowness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all shall come to repentance.  v10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works therein shall be burned up.
Beloved, the Lord is opening a door of opportunity through Gather the Outcasts Ministry for a team to go to Africa and work with the orphan children and share the good news of the gospel.  Would you pray about making this your opportunity?  When you leave your home, your business, your farm,  your comfort zone, you receive that 30, 60, and hundred fold blessing. Departure date is set for July 6, 2016 for the two week trip to Kenya. I will be going on from there to preach in Burundi and Congo. Pray about your part, you can email me for a complete trip itinerary. 
Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  May God bless you as you pray.  In Christ, Jim  Gather the Outcasts, Inc.,  Box 92, Norton, Ks. 67654  501 (c)3   Paypal at www.gathertheoutcastscom  or www.jimrowh.blogspot.com                      email: pureprairie@hotmail.com  

Crusades Coming to Burundi and Congo

Dear beloved:  Pictured above, Burundi Crusade 2015, where over 30,000 people came out to hear the good news of the gospel  Hundreds made salvation decisions and many more received healings.
Mark 16:15 And Jesus said unto them, " Go unto all the nations, and preach the gospel to every creature. v16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that does not believe shall be condemned. v17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name they will cast out demons, and they will speak with new tongues."  
Beloved, I am making plans to go back to Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo to preach the good news, that many more could be ushered into the kingdom of God.  Pray about partnering with Gather the Outcasts Ministry to help take the life giving message of hope to a lost and dying world.  I will be taking a team with me for the first two weeks of the trip, where we will be starting off in Kenya working on the Living Water Orphanage site near Mumias, Kenya.  Would you consider being a part of this amazing trip?  The departure date is set for July 6, 2016.  Will you go to the nations with me?  Email me for a complete itinerary.

Faith Triumphs Over Fear

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, Kibera Crusade in Nairobi in 2011.  800 people came to know the Lord Jesus during the crusade.  
I will be taking a team with me this July to work on the Living Water Orphanage in west Kenya.  We will be working with the children in Bible school, working on the church building, and working at the orpanage site.  We will finish up the two week trip with a tour of the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge to see the big animals.  Would you commit to going along, or writing out a check so we can get the work completed this summer?   Please email me for the itinerary.
When Golaith came out and started mocking the armies of Israel, the people of Israel were in great fear. 1 Samuel 17:24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw Goliath, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid.  But David, the young shepherd boy, didn't let fear control him.  Instead he exercised his faith and put his trust in the Lord.  v37 Moreover David said, "The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."  And Saul said to David, " Go, and the Lord be with you!"
The Lord is speaking to some of you to go, but you are filled with fear.  Let your faith arise, let it triumph over fear. Your faith is perfected by your works.  May God bless you as you pray.  In Christ, Jim  Gather the Outcasts, Inc.

Feed the Hungry

Dear beloved:  Pictures above: the maize harvest on the Living Water Orphanage Land in Kenya.  Left are the church members harvesting corn and gathering up the stalks; right, you can see the many brown and moldy ears of corn from all the El Nino rains. The harvest this year was less than 50% of normal, so it is going to be a year of lack for many of the children and their families in West Kenya. These families depend on maize for much of their food supply for themselves and the livestock.  They eat ugali, a boiled corn meal dish similar to our corn meal mush, twice a day with greens and beans or meat if they have it.  They also feed their chickens cracked maize, so it is a staple of all the rural people. Because of the poor harvest, many of the farmers in the Mumias area do not have the money for seed and fertilizer to plant the spring crop, so that will affect the summer food supply as well.
Would you consider supporting a child for $30 per month so they will not be hungry when they go to bed?  Please pray about it and see what the Lord would have you to do.  We can arrange for monthly deposit to Gather the Outcasts, or you can Paypal or send checks. I would like to see the support level take care of at least fifty children. Beloved, in America we don't know about hunger and lack.  For the cost of a couple of pizzas you can feed one child for a month.

Receiving the Children

Dear beloved:  Pics above:  Left, young boys hungry for the word at Ngozi, Burundi Crusade; right, young man at Mumias, Kenya Crusade delivered from insanity.    Mark 10:13  And they brought young children to Jesus, that He should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. v14 But when He saw it, He was much displeased and said unto them, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. v15 Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter in."  And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.   Mark 9:36  And He took a child, and set him in the midst of them; and when he had taken him in His arms, He said unto them, v37 "Whoever shall receive one of these children in My name, receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me, receives not Me, but Him who sent Me."

Beloved, we have an opportunity to receive fifty young children in the name of Jesus into a home that we are going to build for them near Mumias, Kenya.  The land is purchased, fenced, and trees are planted. There is a spring of living water on the place, now we are waiting for the big loaf of provision to build the home and get the children moved in.  We need about $50,000 to complete the project.  Would you let the Lord speak to you about helping to receive the children?  I will also be taking a team with me in July to work on the project.  Would you be interested in going and taking the children into your arms in the name of Jesus?

Africa Mission 2016

Dear beloved:  Above pics were taken at the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge in Kenya.  Left is the dining hall, in a tent no less! This is called camping, Masai Mara style. The food was very good! Right, typical scenery while touring the Mara, where hundreds of species of animals and birds make their home.   I have the itinerary all set to go, if you would be interested in a two week trip to Africa in July of this year, email me and I would be happy to send you the itinerary.  The main purpose of the mission will be to work at the site of the Living Water Orphanage near Mumias, Kenya. We will be spending a fun filled week there aiding in construction and site preparation, then finish up the trip with a three day tour of the Masai Mara.

Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 28:19, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,  baptiizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching all that I have commanded you.  And lo, I will be with you always, even until the end of the age."  Beloved, the best time to go is now!  Don't wait until the end of the age.  You can make a difference in the lives of the children in Kenya, and move the kingdom forward here on the earth.

The Jubilee Year

Dear beloved:  Pictures above taken at the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge in Kenya.  Left is Simba, the Lion King. Then we have two cheetahs resting in the shade.  If you had just run eighty miles per hour, you would want to rest as well!
This year is the Hebrew year 5776, the Jubilee Year which began on Yom Kippur on September 22, 2015.  The Jubilee is the year of the turnaround. Leviticus 25:10 "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."  This is the year of your turnaround, to be set free!
For Gather the Outcasts Ministry, it is also the seventh year I will be going to Africa.  Seven is the number of completion and perfection.  I believe the Lord wants me to complete the orphanage project in Kenya this year!  Would you consider partnering with Gather the Outcasts Living Water Orphanage Project to get this project completed?  Or how about going on the team for a two week trip to put your hands to the work?  We will also take in a side trip to the Masai Mara and visit our friend Simba.

Blessings for a New Year

Dear beloved: This giraffe looked in over our Land Rover when I was touring the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge in Kenya.  Might you also be interested in going to see him and his friends at the Masai Mara?  I will be leading a team back to Kenya this summer, planning for a two week trip for a short term mission team to work at the orphanage site, then finish up with a trip to the Masai Mara.  It would be the trip of a lifetime for you, and you would get some hands on work for the orphan children God cares so much about. I'm looking at a late June, early July time frame.

As we look at the new year before us, God has some work for each of us to do.  How will you spend your time and resources this year to expand the Kingdom of God?  Acts 13:2 And while they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."  v3 Then when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. v4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.    Beloved, God has work to which He has called you, and He is speaking to some of you about it right now.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  I am looking for monthly partners to help support me, so I can devote even more time to the work God has called me to.  Maybe you can't go, can you send?               May God bless you as you pray.  In Christ, Jim       Gather the Outcasts, Box 92, Norton, Ks. 67654   501(c)3        Paypal       @ www.gathertheoutcasts.com  or www.jimrowh.blogspot.com     email: pureprairie@hotmail.com     Forward to friends by link below.

The Perfect Christmas Gift

 Dear beloved:  Looking for that special Christmas gift for you family or friends?  My recently published book, "Gather the Outcasts: Reaching the Lost in Africa"  would be just the solution for you.  This book covers stories of crusades and revivals over a five year time span in Africa.  Some of the events detailed include crusades in Kibera, the biggest slum in Africa near downtown Nairobi; in Tororo, in Eastern Uganda; and in Goma, the focal point of the rebel army incursions into Eastern Congo.  These stories will inspire you and strengthen your faith, as you read about our powerful God who is mighty to save.
There is still time to order and get delivery before Christmas.  Available in either paperback or ebook version.   Just clik on this link to take you to amazon.com    http://www.amazon.com/Gather-Outcasts-Reaching-Lost-Africa/dp/0768409381/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1447038044&sr=1-1&keywords=gather+   For a donation to the ministry of $25.00 or more, I will send you a signed copy of the book.
 Looking back over the last year, I am very grateful for all that the Lord has done.  We have seen many hundreds, possibly thousands, come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior this year in the Africa crusades in Burundi and Congo.  We also give thanks for the purchase of the Living Water Orphange Land in Kenya, where we plan to build a home for fifty orphaned children.  We trust that the Lord will provide for all of our needs, that the coming year will be better than ever!

Pray for America

Dear beloved:  Above picture, Ngozi, Burundi Crusade August, 2015.  . We all need to get down on our knees in prayer and intercede for this nation, that our Lord would continue to protect us from the hands of our enemies.  2 Chronicles 7:14
