USA Election

Dear beloved:  Pics above, maize planting crew at Living Water Orphanage site in Kenya; Burundi Crusade
1 Timothy 2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, v2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. v3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
Beloved, as I have arrived safely back in the USA, I am here in time to feel the full force of the winds of the presidential election.  When in Kenya the Lord gave me a prophetic dream of the coming election.  I will not share it here, suffice it to say he wants me and all of us to be in prayer for this very special time for the destiny of this country.  What is the Lord looking at when He looks at America regarding this election?  There are many issues, but I believe what He is most looking at is this: Who will defend the pillars of His kingdom here on this earth?  This is His desire not only for America, but for all the nations of the earth.  Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
There are three main pillars that define His kingdom, and from these all other institutions, cultures, and human activities flow.  The pillars: 1. Genesis 1:26 Let us create man in Our image, according to Our likeness  We are created in the image of God, every child born and unborn is created in His image.  The sanctity of human life is the preeminent issue for every nation, tribe, and tongue.  2. Genesis 1:28 Then God blessed them (male and female), and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it."   The sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman.  3. Genesis 12:2  I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing, v3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.  The sanctity of His chosen people Israel, and our blessings toward them. Gather the Outcasts is fulfilling the mandate of preaching the gospel to all the nations of the earth.  We are also helping to care for the widows and orphans, the least fortunate of the the children in Kenya.  Would you join us as we pursue God's will both in America and in Africa?   Thank you for your prayers and support.

Parable of the Talents

Dear beloved:  pics above, left, praying for pastors at Westlands Church in Nairobi; right, praying for students at kesha
Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. v27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. v28 Therefore, take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. v28 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.  v30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In the strictest sense, this parable is speaking of money {talents}, but in a broader context it is speaking of your faith.  We have all been given a mustard seed of faith, the question for each of us is this: What are we doing with the faith God has given us?  Are you using your faith to move the kingdom of God forward?  If not, God will take it from you and give it to those who are on the move. What you do with your money is an expression of your faith.  I had the opportunity over the weekend to see the kingdom move forward in two very powerful services in Nairobi.  First, the all night kesha Friday night, where over 100 university students came together to cry out for Kenya. Then at a great church in Westlands on Sunday morning, where over 200 belivers came together to worship and hear the word of the Lord. God is on the move and opening doors for Gather the Outcasts in Africa.  Thank you for your prayers and support.

Kesha Power!

Dear beloved:  Pics above, worship at the midnight hour,  university students at the kesha
Ezekiel 22:30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found no one.   2 Chronicles 7:14  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, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  v15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.
Let it not be said of us that we failed to stand in the gap for Nairobi and the land of Kenya.  We worshipped and cried out to the Lord until 5 am, for God to breakthrough and tear down strongholds of corruption, sexual immorality, and pagan worship. These are the three main principalities that rule over Kenya, causing much pain, poverty, and destruction.  It was a night of powerful praise and worship, preaching,  and passionate prayers.  About 100 university students and pastors gathered for the all night kesha, now we rest and thank the Lord for hearing our prayers. Thank you for your prayers and support that allowed Gather the Outcasts Ministry to hold this meeting.

Offering to the Lord

Dear beloved:  Some scenes from the Living Water site;  l to r, the Living Water, new house for the watchman and tools, maize crop growing.
2 Samuel 24:21 Then Araunah said, "Why has the lord my king come to his servant?" And King David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people." v22 Then Araunah said to David, " Let the lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him.  Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood. v23  "All these, o king, Araunah has given to the king. v24 Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing."  So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Beloved, What are you asking from the Lord God this day?  Maybe it is needs for yourself, your family, or your ministry?  God knows the desires of your heart, your needs even before you speak them. King David had needs as well, BIG needs. His sin had brought a plague down upon the children of Israel.  He could have easily taken the gift of the threshing floor.  But he chose instead to make an offering to the Lord, to purchase the threshing floor as an expression of his sacrifice to the Lord. Consider today making a gift to Gather the Outcasts Ministry.  We have needs for the kingdom of God in Africa, to stop the plague of corruption, sexual immorality, the rise of islam and other pagan religions.   I would appreciate more monthly partners, more offerings for the Living Water Orphanage project, so we can give the children a good home, and teach them about the love that Jesus has for them.  Pray about your part in moving the Kingdom of God forward in Africa today.

The Name of Jesus!

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, tree planting crew at Living Water; right, Steven helping out with the spring development at Living Water; bottom, children at the New Hope children's school
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. v32 and I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people unto Myself v35 Then Jesus said to them, " A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. v 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of the light.  Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  v16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Beloved, everywhere we look, darkness is overcoming the earth.  Praise God there is light to overcome the darkness!  Jesus is the light of the world, so if you know Jesus as Lord, let your light shine before men.  Plan now to come to Africa next summer 2017 for a short term mission to let your light shine.  We will be bringing a team back to Kenya to work on the Living Water Orphanage and preach the good news of the gospel. Start praying about it and make plans now to come.  When enough lights come together, the light gets very bright, and there is no place for the darkness.  Put your faith into action that men, women, and children may see your good works, and your God will be glorified.

Bearing Good Fruit

Dear beloved:  Pics above left, Kesha in Nairobi in 2013 the night before the Westgate Mall attack; right, Kesha coming in Nairobi on October 14; below left, Burundi Crusade; my Africa 2016 team " the cream of the crop", l to r, Sammy, Mandela, Chad, Steve, Faith, Jim, Staci
Matthew 7:16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? v17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. v18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. v19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. v20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
Beloved, Gather the Outcasts has been on the front battle lines here in Africa for this now our seventh year.  The pictures above give just a small glimpse into all we are involved in.  In 2013, God had me stationed as a watchman on the wall with many university students at a kesha just down the road from the Westgate Mall, crying out for the peace and protection of Kenya.  Little did we know the most dreadful terrorist attack in the country's history would commence the next day. With another kesha coming up in two weeks, I am looking forward again to join with the students for a powerful night of prayer and worship. If you support Gather the Outcasts Ministry in Africa, you are also bearing good fruit.  The keshas, the many lives saved and healed at the crusade events, and the Living Water Orphanage Project in Kenya are all  good fruits to give back to the Lord. We are searching out God's will here in this place.  Your prayers and donations help the vision become reality.
Thank you so much, God bless you as you pray.  in Christ, Jim  Gather the Outcasts, Inc., Box 92, Norton, Ks. 67654 501c3  Paypal@ www.gathertheoutcasts.com  or www.jimrowh.blogspot.com   email: pureprairie@hotmail.com

Update From Mumias

Dear beloved:  Pics above, left, children needing sponsors, Jim and Chad at the Living Water spring; bottom left, Chad with the school children, digging the footings at the Living Water site
Hebrews 11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence (conviction) of things not seen, v2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. v3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.   Romans 4:17 as it is written, "I have made you, Abraham, a father of many nations", in the presence of Him whom he believed-God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being those things which do not exist as though they did.
Faith is the substance that activates our relationship with God.   Without exercising our faith, our relationship is very shallow and easily doubted. When we exercise our faith, our relationship with God is strengthened, and we see things in the future just as God already knows them. Three years ago a prophetic word was spoken over me, "Jim, now it is just your vision and God together on this Living Water Orphanage project, but in the years ahead, many will see the vision and they will come."  Beloved, would you catch the vision with me and step out in faith to get this home finished this year?  We have the building permits in place and the footings dug.  We are trusting the Lord for $50,000 to get the home finished and ready to move into.  We are also still in need of sponsors for 13 of the 29 children, would you consider being a sponsor at $20 per month?  This is the seventh year of Gather the Outcasts Ministry coming to Africa to bring the good news of the gospel, let this also be the year of completion.

Light in the Darkness!

Dear beloved:  Pics above, top, Jim praying for the lame and sick, Sammy Bossana, my "Elisha", a fisher of men; bottom, many muslim school children among the crowd
The coastal region of Kilifi, Kenya is a stonghold of muslims, it is just down the coast from Somalia.  The darkness here can sometimes be overwhelming, it tends to suffocate.  But God is breaking through in KIlifi with the light of the gospel.  Many muslim school children are stopping by the crusade to listen to the word and the good worship music.  Where there is darkness the light shines brighter! We had a breakthrough tonight with some salvation decisions, most likely muslims, and also many came forward to receive prayers for healing and deliverance.  Bwana a safiwe!
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine. For your light has come!  And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.v2 For behold, the darkness has covered the earth. And deep darkness the people.  But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.    John 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. v5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
We have one more day of the crusade in Kilifi, keep the prayers coming for the light to get even brighter.     God bless you,  in Christ, Jim   Gather the Outcasts Ministry, Box 92, Norton, Ks. 67654   501c3   Paypal @ www.gathertheoutcasts.com  or www.jimrowh.blogspot.com    email : pureprairie@hotmail.com    Forward to friends by link below.  Correction from post of 9/20/2016  The crowd pictured was from the Burundi Crusade 2016, not Mumias, Kenya.

On to Kilifi!

Dear beloved:  More scenes from the recent Kampala Earth Shaking Revival,   Bottom right, The lady I prayed for at her house was very sick, possibly AIDS. People brought her to the church two days later and laid her down on a mat at the back of the church. She stayed for the whole three hours of service.  God is healing her, she left with a smile!
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 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, pray for the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into the harvest."
I will be leaving for Kilifi, Kenya, on the coast near Mombasa, next Monday for a three day outdoor crusade and pastor conference, September 22-24.  This event is being staged in the heart of the enemy territory in Kenya, so I ask for increased prayer covering. This will be the last big event for me in this preaching tour of five countries in Africa.  I am short about $1,500 to fulfill my budget obligations for this event.  They are anticipating a crowd of ten to twenty thousand.  Would you help send forth laborers into the harvest, would you pray about your part in seeing this crusade be a great success?  The Lord is preparing a table for us in the presence of our enemies.

Kampala Earthquake!

Dear beloved:  Above pics, left worship choirs at Holy Spirit church in Kampala, Uganda; right, brother Augustine with choir
Haggai 2:6  This is what the Lord Almighty says, " Yet once more in a little while, I will shake the heavens and earth, the sea and dry land.  v7 and I will shake all the nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory", says the Lord of hosts.
Yesterday we had an earthshaking meeting, at the time of highest praise we had an earthquake here in Kampala that was felt all over the region.  The church shook, the water bottles fell over.  I know the Lord was shaking the region as a result of the prayers and the praises of His people in the Holy Spirit Church.  The meetings have been breathtaking, the heavens and earth are responding.  To God be the glory!  Many healed and delivered from bondage of witchcraft, sickness, all kinds of pains.  It has been an incredible week.  Thank you so much for your prayers and support for these meetings, heaven met earth here.  I will try to post some videos when I get back to Kenya.
