Burundi Crusade!

Dear beloved:  Above photos, Ngozi, Burundi Crusade.  Above, 1) speaking to a group of 300 youth, 2) dancing to the Lord, 3) huge crowd at the crusade, 4) one of a dozen worship teams from various churches
Psalm 22:3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.  Psalm 99:3 Let them praise Your great and awesome Name; Holy is He.  Psalm 99:9 Exalt the Lord our God and worship at His holy hill, for holy is the Lord our God.   Yes beloved, the Lord inhabits the praises of His people!  Give the Lord the praise that He is due today and you will break the back of the enemy.
Still basking in the glow of the Burundi Crusade, but I am now in Gisenyi, Rwanda, waiting for approval of the Congolese government to cross the border into Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo.    Pray for a breakthrough today to remove all roadblocks!  I have people in place in Butembo to preach in the eventuality that I don't get there tonight in time.  The Lord has spoken to me, "It is the message that is important, not the preacher."  Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
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

Kenya Mission Team


Dear beloved:  Here are some scenes from Kenya;  left, ready to break ground at the Living Water Orphanage near Mumias; right, prison ministry team, Augustine, Staci, Jim, Melvin, Chad, Steve, Sammy, ready to go in Bungoma prison.
James 2:14 What does it profit my brethren, if someone says he has faith but 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, "depart 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 if it does not have works, is dead.
Beloved, God's desire for us is that we put our faith into action, so that others may see what a wonderful God we serve.  The orphanage project is underway, soon we will be pouring the footings and building the structure.  The Bungoma prison team went into the prison and preached for two hours, and twenty four precious souls came forward to give their life to Jesus Christ.  Bwana a safiwe!  Praise the Lord.  Start praying about coming with us next year, Gather the Outcasts Ministry will be hosting a trip to Africa every year.  Declare now that you are going to do something extraordinary for the kingdom of God, that you are going to make a difference in the lives of Africans.
God bless you and thank you.  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

Karibu Burundi!


Dear beloved:  Pics above, the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge in Kenya.
Isaiah 6:3 And one Seraphim said to another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory!  Genesis 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.  And God saw that it was good.  v31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Got back to Nairobi last night after two remarkable days viewing God's creation at the Masai Mara Refuge in Kenya.  Saw lions, elephants, giraffes, a cheetah, hippos, African buffalo, and millions of wildebeast and zebra.  What a collection of some of the most amazing animals all in one place, roaming about in their natural habitat.  Then I bid goodbye to the team as I put them on the plane bound for America; it was a bittersweet sendoff as I was so thankful for all they had accomplished, but very sorry to see them go.  I am now in Bujumbura, Burundi, preparing for the big crusade starting tomorrow.  We are looking for God to exceed all expections for salvations, signs, and wonders! Please keep the crusade lifted up in prayer, we will be lifting up the name of Jesus for three days, that His name will draw all men unto Him, and bring His peace to this country.  Thank you, and pray about your part in sowing into the harvest with this ministry if you have never given.

Living Water


Dear beloved:  Above pictures, the spring running a beautiful stream at the Living Water Orpahange near Mumias, Kenya.
John 4:10  Jesus answered and said to her, " If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, give Me a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." v13 "Whoever drinks of the water from this well will thirst again, v14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.  The water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life."
God has blessed us so much on this piece of land that will be the home for the orphanage.  The land is fertile and will grow bountiful crops of corn and vegetables, as well as there are now over fifty fruit trees on the land; banana, mango, avocado, papaya, orange, and lemon.  We have been blessed with a never ending supply of good water, so we can water the gardens and have all we need for the house.  We are also planning to dig fish ponds below the spring to raise talapia for another source of protein for the children.
Would you pray about your part in seeing this project finished and the children playing on the site?  The children will be taught about the living water of Jesus Christ.  We will raise them up and send them out in the world with the knowledge of their Savior. Email me if you have any questions.  What you sow into the kingdom for this project will reap a harvest for all eternity.

Groundbreaking!!



Dear beloved:  Great news! Yesterday was the groundbreaking for the Living Water Orphanage near Mumias, Kenya.  Pictures above, the crew getting ready to dig the ditches for the footings for the orphanage building.  This is a historic day for the kingdom of God and for Gather the Outcasts Ministry.  Many years of prayer have been answered and the orphanage is no longer a dream, but the actual construction phase has begun.  Please keep us lifted up in prayer as the provision to complete the project to the end is still yet to come, but we have enough to get started.  The team from America has been awesome, they are enjoying their time in Kenya and have been great workers.  Work is also progressing on the spring development, which will be the sole water source for the home. Pray about your part in seeing it all finished with the children moving in.
2 Chronicles 6:12 O Lord, God of Isreal, there is no God like you in heaven or earth- You who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue whole heartedley in Your way. You have kept Your promise to Your servant David my father; with Your mouth You have promised and with Your hand; You have fulfilled it-as it is today." The name of the builder/architect here in Mumias is Solomon. Yes!
When I prayed over the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday, just as I began to pray, the first raindrop hit my arm. It was confirmation from the Lord that He is with us and blessing us in all that we do.  It had not rained here in Mumias for six weeks before the Lord's servants came here this week, and now we have had showers for two days.  I will have a video of the groundbreaking ceremony and prayer in the days to come.

Great Are You Lord!


Dear beloved: Psalm 147:1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.  v2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. v3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.v4 He counts the number of stars and calls them by name. v5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
When I walked into the IHOP prayer room early this morning, this chorus was going up before the Lord, "And all the earth will sing Your praise, Our hearts will cry, our bones will sing, Great are you Lord!  Its Your breath, in our lungs, so we pour out our praise, pour out our praise, Its Your breath in our lungs, so we pour out our praise, pour out our praise, to You, Oh Lord.  Great are you Lord!
Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  If you sow into Gather the Outcasts you are sowing into your own destiny.  Help us gather the outcasts of Africa.  Luke 6:38  "Give, and it shall be given, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, spilling over it will be put into your bosom; For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured unto you."

Praise the Lord for Victory!


Dear beloved:  Pictures above, left, revival at Butembo, DRoCongo, right, poster for Burundi Crusade 2016
2 Chronicles 20:20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, " Hear me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper." v21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord and those who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever." v22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mt. Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.
Beloved, the Lord will give you victory over your enemies if you sing to Him and praise the beauty of His holiness.  Lift up your voice today in praise and worship to the King.  We will be in Burundi in less than a month to lift up a cascade of praise to the Lord, that the enemies of Burundi will be scattered.  Join me in praying for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit for salvation and for healings.  Pray about partnering with Gather the Outcasts to bring in the harvest.  Look up, the fields are ripe!

The Decree of the Lord


Dear beloved:  Scenes above from the 2015 Burundi Crusade, outside Bujumbura the capital city
Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me (Jesus), You are My Son, today I have begotten you. v8 Ask of me and I will give You the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. V9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.
Beloved, the Lord's possessions and inheritance includes the nations of the earth.  He uses men and women like you and me to go in and decree that fact to the powers and rulers who have the nations in their grip.  Jesus isn't coming back to do the work; He wants to send us under the power of the Holy Spirit.  Would you be a part of this nation building tour for the kingdom of God?  I will be in Burundi in just a bit over a month from now to decree a thing and see it come to pass. We are looking for even bigger crowds this year and the excitement is building.  If you can't go, be a sender. Together we can take the nations for the Lord!

Pure and Undefiled Religion


Dear beloved:  Pics above, left, Church meeting near Tororo, Uganda; right; orphanage site in Kenya
James 1:27 "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."  Beloved, Jesus has a very special love in His heart for children.  He told the disciples Matt. 19:14,  to "Let the little children come unto Me, and do not forbid them; for the kingdom of heaven is made for such as these." v15 Then He laid His hands on them (praying for them) and departed from there.
Beloved, we have some needs and opportunities to bless the children that are in Mumias, Kenya, and are currently being taken care of by chuch members.  Here are the needs for forty children: 1. school uniforms $400  2. blankets $480 3. school books $240 4. shoes $360  5. sleeping mats $600 6.writing pens and colors $50  7. Dairy Cow $500. We have plenty of grass at the Living Water Ophanage site for a cow.   If you are able to help with any of these needs please designate on your check your desire. We will be leaving July 6th, so would like to be able to purchase these items when we get to Kenya. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

The Great Supper


Dear beloved:  Pictures above, Malaba, Kenya crusade
Luke 14:16 Then Jesus said to him, "A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, v17 and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, "Come, for all things are now ready."  v18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, "I have bought a piece of land, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused:" v19 And another said, "I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused." v20 Still another said, "I have married a wife and I cannot come." v21 So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, "Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, the maimed, and the lame and blind." v23 Then the master said to the servant, "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
Beloved, we are going to Africa to compel the lost to come in.  There is still room at the supper for many more.  Would you partner with Gather the Outcasts Ministry to send us into the highways and hedges? Your financial support with prayer makes it all happen. We are having a ministry fundraising banquet Thursday, June 16th, at 6.30 pm, at the Bullseye Event Center in downtown Norton. Tickets are free but you must reserve your seat.  Call Bullseye at 785-874-4800 to reserve your seat.
