Righteousness Exalts a Nation

Dear beloved: pics above, left, Ngozi, Burundi Crusade; right, maize planting and avocado trees at Living Water Orphanage site in Kenya
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a disgrace to any people.  Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people chosen for his inheritance. Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand against the Lord, and against His anointed One.
Beloved, We have much to be thankful for in America, we take for granted until we don't have it.  Kenya is going through growing pains, the first election was annulled, now another election cycle is in progress.  The kings of the earth are taking their stand, so much bickering and tension. It seems at times the nation is going to break. And looking at America from afar, it seems it is going through stress as well.  What is the answer?  Jesus is the answer in every situation!  We are moving ahead with plans for a big crusade in Nakivale, Uganda, at a Sudan Refugee camp with 150,000 refugees.  We would also like to move ahead with the construction of the building at the Living Water Orphanage site.  Is God able to provide?  Yes, He moves through His people.  Pray about your part in exalting the name of Jesus forward in Africa. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Beautiful Rwanda

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, Jim and interpreter Patrick; Mass Choir recording video at Gisenyi, Rwanda
Job 8:17 What is man, that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart on him v18 that You should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?  Psalm 8:4 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him: v5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.
Beloved, we wrapped up the church revival in Gisenyi with over 300 people in attendance at yesterday's meeting.  Also present were choirs from several churches, one even shot a video for a dvd they are producing to release this fall.  I was humbled by a lady who came who had no legs. I had prayed for her in the street a few days before, and she came all the way across the city in her wheelchair to attend the meeting.  Another young man came with a friend, I had prayed for him down at the beach of Lake Kivu the day before; he told me his family story of how his family was all broken apart, the seven children going in different directions.  Jesus said, "I came to bind up the broken hearted, to declare release to the prisoners."  He certainly did that this week!  I am headed to Kampala, Uganda, today, and back to Kenya later in the week.  Thank you for your prayers and support!

Come to the Altar

Dear beloved:  PIctures above: left, crowd at Ngozi Crusade; right, singing praises with the worship band
Isaiah 25:8  He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe away tears from all the faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken. v9 And it will be said in that day, " Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord, we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."
Beloved, we had a great crusade and pastor conference in Ngozi.  Thousands attended the crusade over the three days, and several hundred flooded the altar to make decisions to confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Many more came forward for prayers for healing and deliverance.  Those trapped in the bondage of witchcraft cried out to the Lord and were set free!  In addition to the crusade, I taught over 100 Pastors from Burundi and Tanzania at the conference, and I also taught over 400 young people at at Ngozi and Bujumbura.  It was a very productive week!  I ask for your prayers as I will be leaving Burundi and headed to Gisenyi, Rwanda for a church revival starting on Wednesday of this week.  May God bless you as you pray!  More pics of the Ngozi Crusade on my facebook page.

Dar es Salaam Crusade

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, crowd at Dar Crusade; right, man with broken leg receives prayers for healing
Acts 4:10 (Peter) Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands before you today made whole. v11 This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. v12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. v14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with Peter and John, they could say nothing against it.
Beloved, the Lord has given us favor here in Dar es Salaam. Thousands have already attended the crusade, and we still have two more nights to go.  Many salvations, many also came forward for prayers for healing and deliverance from demonic oppression. We are set up in a predominately muslim neighborhood, but God has stirrred up the hearts of the people to come and hear the good news of the gospel. I ask for you to continue to pray for more favor, protection, and to seal up with the Holy Spirit the decisions that are made.  We are planning a baptism service in the Indian Ocean on Monday after the crusade, then I will be resting for a few days before going on to Burundi. Pray about your part in supporting the gospel outreach of Gather the Outcasts Ministry in Africa.  The cry of the Lord is for the souls of His people!

Upcoming Crusades

Dear beloved: Pictures above, Burundi Crusade 2016;  New Hope Preschool children showing off dolls
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, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. v37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. v38 Therefore, pray the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
Beloved, I will be leaving Kenya shortly to go on an extended preaching tour, starting next week in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.  From there I will be going on to Burundi, where we have had two very successful crusades.  Then I will wrap up with a three day crusade  in September in Nakivale, Uganda, a large refugee camp on the border of Uganda and Congo.   The Nakivale crusade is unfunded as of this date, but we are stepping out in faith and believing for the provision.  We are expecting crowds of 30,000 in Nakivale, with refugees from Congo, Sudan, and Somalia living in the camps. The harvest is ripe in Africa, many souls hang in the balance.  Would you pray about your part in bringing in the harvest? May God bless you as you pray!

Tanzania Crusade

Dear beloved:  Pics above, beautiful lion at Masai Mara; right, Jesus team at Mumias, from left front row, Jane, Lucas, Sammy, Precious, Frank; back row, Janet, Augustine, Steve, Jim, Rhonda
Isaiah 41:10  Fear not, for I am with you, Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. v11 Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish  v12 You shall seek them and not find them- Those who contended with you and war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing. v13 for I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, " Fear not, I will help you."
Beloved, at a time when Kenya is grinding to a halt because of the elections, Gather the Outcasts Ministry is moving forward.  The American team that was here partnered with our Kenya partners to accomplish mighty exploits for the Lord.  Construction at the Living Water site, maize harvesting, preaching in the Bungoma prison, minstering to the Mumias street boys, sharing with the New Hope preschool.  We finished up the mission with a trip to the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge, to see some of the Lord's majestic creations.  Start praying about coming to Kenya to be a part of what God is doing here!  Next up: Five day crusade in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.  This is going to be a biggie, many famous gospel singers lining up to join the crusade.  Pray for the harvest in this city of six million.  God bless you as you pray!

Keep Building!

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, completed slab of main house at Living Water; right, first banana crop forming
Nehemiah 6:15  So the wall was finished on the twenty fifth day of Elal, in fifty two days. v16 And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it,  and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
Beloved, we have successfully completed the mixing and pouring of the slab for the main house at Living Water Orphanage.  The next phase of construction will be to lay up the block walls.  The budget for that phase is $8,300.  Could we get eight people to step up with $1,000 each?  Small gifts are welcome as well.  Let us keep building!  I bid the team USA goodbye at the airport last night, they represented Christ and Gather the Outcasts Ministry very well while they were in Kenya.  I was sad to see them go, but I know the Lord will be bringing more to see and share the vision.  Would you consider coming to Kenya to have a close up look at the work going on?  Let me know if you might be interested, there may be a group forming to come in the winter.  Pray about your part in seeing this project through to completion.  God bless you!

Hands to the Work

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, corn harvest; concrete slab nearly finished
Proverbs 14:23  In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty  Nehemiah 2:18 And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me.  So they said, " Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work.
Beloved, we had a very productive week so far here in Mumias.  We harvested the four acres of corn, you can see the record harvest.  Then the next day a crew of thirty of us mixed and poured the thirty yard slab of concrete that is the floor of the main house at the orphanage.  God has been so good to us, the work has been a joy!  Today we are going to Bungoma to minister in the prison, and tomorrow we finish off the week by hosting a conference with out partner church.  Let's keep the construction going as the laying up of the walls is next!   Join with Gather the Outcasts to see this project through to completion.  Thank you for your prayers and support.  For more pictures you can go my my facebook page.  God bless you as you pray!

Kenya

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, touch down at Nairobi airport, from left, driver, Rhonda, Sammy, Steve, Jim, Janet ; right, worship at New Hope Fellowship, "Break Every Chain!"
Judges 6:14 The the Lord turned to Gideon and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?"  Judges 7:7 Then the Lord said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped water I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go , every man to his place."
Beloved, Gideon faced the enemy with only 300 of the original 32,000 men.  The rest the Lord sent home to prove to Gideon it was not his own strength that would win the battle.  Our first day in Kenya was 7/7/17, we are going to complete some things this trip.  It's also my eighth year preaching in Africa, we are going to start some new things as well.  For sure the Lord has sent us!  We will be picking the maize crop and also mixing concrete for the slab at the main house of the Living Water Orphanage, and preaching in the church and at a conference next week.  We will be busy!   Join with Gather the Outcasts to make a difference in Africa. Thank you for your prayers and donations, may God bless you as you pray.

Kingdom of Heaven

Dear beloved:  Pictures above, planting avocado trees at Living Water Orphanage; right, my little buddy Elijah in Uganda
Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven. Matthew 12:28 "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." Matthew 18:3 "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children. you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. v4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child  is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. v5: Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me."
Beloved, Jesus has a very special place in His heart for the children.  If we watch them and take care of them, we can know what it is to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Come with child like faith, give with child like faith  We are building the Living Water Orphanage in Kenya to provide a beautiful home for 30-40 orphan children, where the Name of Jesus will be lifted up..  Please join us!.  We still need $3,500 for the concrete slab of the main house. I also need money for travel for the crusades in Tanzania and Burundi.  Now is the time to give, the kingdom is now!. Thank you so much for your prayers and support, next post from Africa.  May God bless you as you pray!
