Hunger Relief Testimony

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, food distribution at New Hope Fellowship in Mayoni,Kenya
Exodus 16:4  Then the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota each day, that I may test them, whether they walk in my law or not.  v11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, v12 "I have heard the complaints of the the children of Israel. Speak to them saying, " At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God."
Beloved, your donations to the hunger relief campaign are making a difference.   Thank you to all who have donated to the hunger relief fund, so far we have purchased 25 of the 90 pound bags of corn for distribution. Here is the testimony from Pastor Lucas, who is in charge of the food distribution.
"Thank you brother, We appreciate so much and pray Gods blessings. People here still kindly request if its possible you continue supporting the hunger relief foods project. These two months May and June are the only worse. From July they will have began roasting corns. Surely you are saving many families from death especially women and children. Some women appreciate when kneeling down and tears rolling out of their eyes just for that little you have been helping."
May God bless you as you pray. In Christ, Jim Gather the Outcasts, Box 92, Norton, Ks. 67654 501c3 Paypal @ www.gathertheoutcasts.com or www.jimrowh.blogspot.com Email: pureprairie@hotmail.com Facebook.com/ Jim Rowh

Hunger Relief Continues

Dear beloved: Pictures above, left, food distribution at Mayoni; right, Lewis, who has passed away from sickle cell anemia
Matthew 14:17 And they said to Him, "We have only five loaves and two fish." v18 He said, " Bring them to Me." v19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes. v20 So they all ate and were filled, and took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.  v21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Beloved, we have been able to send over to Kenya almost $1,000 for famine relief that last two weeks!  These people are in desperate need of food as prices for maize are skyrocketing due to crop failure last fall.  The child in the photo, Lewis, is one of our preschool children that we sponsor.  He is now resting with Jesus and going to school in heaven.  Last week he passed on from sickle cell anemia.  Please keep his family lifted up in prayer. Please pray about your part in helping with the famine relief effort. God will multiply our giving.

Hunger Relief in Kenya

Dear beloved:  Pictures above: left, food distribution at Mayoni church in Kenya; right, food distribution at Pastor's village
1 Kings 17:12 So she said (to Elijah), "As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.: v13 And Elijah said to her, " Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. v14 "For thus says the Lord God of Israel: The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain upon the earth." v15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.
Beloved, the precious saints in our partner church and village in Kenya are suffering from hunger.  Last week we sent money to purchase over 700 pounds of maize meal.  I would like to continue to do that every week as the Lord provides. Please do not read this post as just another interesting post, these people are in a very difficult situation.   I would like to challenge every person reading this to make a donation of $50 or more for food purchases.  In the name of Jesus, we can provide the manna to them to get them to another day. They also desperately need rain on this spring's crops, so the crop will mature and there will be sufficient harvest to alleviate the hunger.  Please pray about your part in helping these people.
Join us April 29 for the Gather the Outcasts Ministry Banquet at the Bullseye Event Center in Norton.  Special worship led by Roger Cooper.  Tickets are free but you must reserve.  Call Bullseye at 785-874-4800. It will be a great time of sharing about the ministry.

Hunger in Kenya

 Dear beloved:  Pictures above:  left, villagers in Kenya receiving maize meal last week; right, maize crop at Living Water Farm
James 2:14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith and does not have works? Can faith save him? v15 If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food, v16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled",: but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? v17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. v24 You see then that a man is justified (judged) by works, and not by faith only.
Beloved, I am receiving many reports from Kenya regarding the hunger that is starting to take hold in the area of our partner church and Living Water Orphanage.  Due to crop failure of last fall's crop, food shortages are appearing everywhere.  The price of available maize meal is skyrocketing, has more that doubled in recent months. I would like to send money every month for the next few months until the July 2017 crop comes in.  Would you partner with Gather the Outcasts to help these precious people in their time of need?  You can give via Paypal or by check to the box number below.  Email me if you have any questions.  May God bless you as you pray.

Living Water Orphanage

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, Breaking ground at Living Water; foundation and walls going up
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. v25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. v26 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?  Matthew 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Beloved, when you start to lose your plans for your own life, and take up the plans of the Lord, that is when you will find true joy and peace. To take up your cross means to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, follow the Father's will for you your life, to set your own will aside. When the Lord opened the door for me to preach the gospel to the nations, I felt like I had finally come home! The Father's projects then became my projects. Please join us in praying for the construction of the Living Water Orphanage in Kenya, it will be a great home for 30-40 children. Pray about your part in seeing it come to completion. May God bless you as you pray!

A Sound Mind

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, Burundi Crusade 2016; right, South Africa Evangelist Samuel Murrombe at Living Water Orphanage
Mark 5:7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, " What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me." v8 For Jesus said to him, "Come out of the man, unclean spirit!" v9 Then He asked him, "What is your name?" and he answered, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many." v15 Then the townspeople came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind.  And they were afraid. v17 And the townspeople began to plead with Him to depart from their region.
The above passage of scripture is probably the most dramatic story of deliverance in all the New Testament. After the deliverance of Legion, the people of the town wanted Jesus to leave. They would rather see the familiar Legion in the tombs, and all the pigs alive, than see the alternative of Legion delivered of his demonic torment. In this current age in America, 80 million people are taking medication for depression, anxiety, and unstable minds.  Millions more are self medicating with marijuana and other illegal drugs. Beloved, God has a better plan. The Psalmist  says in Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  91:2 " I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God in Him I will trust."  May God bless you and strengthen your mind as you pray today.

Pray Without Ceasing

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, all night Kesha at KIHBT University in Nairobi; right, Kesha at Multimedia University, Nairobi
Matthew 17:1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; v2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. v3 And behold Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. v4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." v5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in Him I am well pleased, Hear Him!"
After spending four days in the prayer room at the International House of Prayer last week, I began to feel like Peter, and think, "Lord it is good for me to be here, let me build a tabernacle and stay here."  We all have places and times when we are up on the mountaintop with the Lord, but the harvest is in the valleys, in the trenches, and on the side hills where the footing is treacherous. Then I heard from the Lord, and He said "Go, for the fields are ripe with the harvest.  Pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth workers into the harvest."  Pray about your part in the global harvest; if you can go to Africa with me, please contact me for a trip itinerary.  If not, your part may be to send those who can go. May God bless you as you pray.

The Gospel Must Be Preached

Dear beloved: Pictures above, left, the harvest at Kibera;  Kibera Crusade in Nairobi
1 Corinthians 9:7 Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock? v11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? v14 Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. v16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me, yes, woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.
Beloved, I have gone to war for the sake of the gospel, for woe is me if I do not preach.  Twice I have been very sick as I came out of Congo after preaching crusades there, taking on all the witches and principalities of the rebels who kill and destroy in that country. The second time so weak I could not stand up in the visa line at the Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi. No pictures of that! Was it the powers and principalities that weakened me, or just some bad bugs in the samosas I ate?  I'll never know for sure, but Jesus said, "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent will take the kingdom by force."  It is war. Beloved, I am looking for partners to help me go forward into the battle.  Please pray about your part in monthly support for this ministry, that we can continue to advance the kingdom in Africa and around the world. God bless you as you pray.

More From Prophet Joel

Dear beloved: Pictures above, Sunny? Southern California, near Los Angeles; right, Malibu Beach
Joel 2:30 "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth; Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. v31 the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord." Matthew 24:43 " But know this, if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into."  Matthew 25:13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
Just returned to Kansas from a successful speaking trip to the Los Angeles area, only to be greeted by 70 mile per hour winds, grass fires all over the prairie, pillars of smoke. In Los Angeles, the crush of people stops the traffic; in Kansas, grass fires and dense smoke, along with gale force winds stop the traffic. The Lord is doing everything He can to wake the people from their slumber before His return, the great and awesome day of the Lord. Four blood moons in recent years, each of them falling on a Jewish festival day.  Are you ready? No one knows the day or the hour of the Lord's return.  Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. God bless you as you pray!

Speak to the Mountain

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, Burundi Crusade; right, Mt. Nyirangongo, near Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo
Matt 17:19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, " Why could we not cast it out?"  v20 And Jesus said to them, " Because of your unbelief, for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith of a mustard seed you will say to this mountain. Move from here to there, and it will move.  And nothing will be impossible for you."
Beloved, we all have mountains in our life that seem to be impossible to move, mountains of bondage, bad habits, sin, depression, unbelief.  Jesus says start speaking to the mountains in your life and then watch them move.  Where your faith is too little, Jesus will add His faith to it and you will see the impossible start to happen.  For what is impossible for us is nothing for God. Debt gone, depression lifted, hope restored!  Gather the Outcasts is building a nice home for 40 children in Kenya.  It seems like a big mountain to climb, but our God is able!  Pray with me that God will provide the necessary provision to finish the job quickly.  God bless you as you pray!
