 Get
Involved Before It`s Too Late!
Truly God is using these ministries to spread the
GOOD NEWS of Jesus and His love. He is truly opening
doors and we must be faithful and enthusiastic in
following and carrying out His commands.
"But none of these things move me,
neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that
I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify
the gospel of the grace of God." Acts 20:24 (KJV)
These precious people have very little but they love
the Lord and are so appreciative. With a little help
they soon become self-supportive. In Kinshasha three
to five hundred American dollars ($300 - $500) will
buy fifty (50) acres of fertile land. Can we all help
those in need with very heavy burdens and many souls
to care for? Every child of God is part of Christ's
sheepfold. And Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."
God help us to help them!
"Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the
master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight,
or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming
suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto
you I say unto all, Watch." Mark 13:35-37
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark
16:15
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes,
and look on the fields; for they are white already
to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and
gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that
soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And
herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed
no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered
into their labours. John 4:35-38
Always be joyful, always keep on praying, always
be thankful no matter what happens.
"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. 1Thes
5:16-17
Remember we may not be able to "go" physically
but we can "go" with our giving and prayers.
"And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall
be." Rev. 22:12 (KJV) Thank God for all He has
done. Anything God gives is precious. AMEN! Our brothers
and sisters are hungry for God and obedient to His
call. They just need the tools.
God make us like Nehemiah. "So the wall was
finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month
Elul, in fifty and two days." Neh 6:15 How did
he do it? Nehemiah had confidence in a great and powerful
God - He may have doubted his own ability but he never
doubted God's. His book is full of prayers - silent
ones - short ones - specific ones!
Will
you pray with us for these pressing needs?
- Ezra Bible Center, Kinshasha, Congo - A meeting
place is desperately needed. Presently, the rent
is very high and has been tripled since they have
begun.
The room they rent from Regideso was packed with
close to 200 people on the first day that the ministry
was officially opened. On new year's eve close to
three hundred people filled this room .
A place of their own would facilitate the vision
for other Ministries to begin and a place where
these believers can meet every day for prayer. Also
a larger facility is required for the larger number
of people coming to the church. The local pastors
need a place to meet for retreats.
- Musical instruments are needed for the church
and for outreach ministries. Since the people of
Congo love music, this is a tool they can use to
attract large crowds and bring them into the church.
- Wisdom and guidance for the multitude of tasks
at hand.
- A piece of land with the purpose of using it
for crops. In this way they will become self-supportive.
- Continue to pray for the ministries in Dar-es-salaam
and Kigoma.
When God uses people like YOU and ME, it makes us
realize that our source is not in ourselves - but
in HIM alone. Remember Caleb? At eighty-five he was
still growing, and grabbing the future (Joshua 14:12).
When he should have been in comfortable retirement,
he was out fighting giants and claiming mountains.
While his friends were yawning–he was yearning.
Every time the sun came up, it was a new adventure
for him.
-Caleb had a "different spirit" from those
around him.
-Caleb believed that through God it could be done
- even when others said it couldn't.
-Caleb had a vision (dream) that time nor circumstance
could diminish.
-Caleb even in old age remained young at heart and
totally committed to God!
LET US ASK GOD TO GIVE US THE SPIRIT OF CALEB
God's richest blessings be yours and be looking for
updates as we receive news from the field. AMEN!
