Prayers At House Of Member Of Church

After service I was invited to the house for prayers. The family had requested and needed prayer. I found out that they were in a desperate condition. There house was leaking from the roof, it was grass thatched. They also had 6 children who were lacking school fees. My fear is if they don’t go to school, they might fall prey to early pregnancies and marriage. May God provide for them. Psalms 91 He who dwell in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the ALMIGHTY. BLESS YOU WHO IS WILLING TO SUPPORT MY MINISTRY. MATHEW 5:1-14 v1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of Gaderenes. v2 and when he came out of the boat.immediately there they met a MAN OUT OF THE TOMBS..A MAN WITH UNCLEAN SPIRIT,who had been DWELLING among the the TOMB and no one could bind him,even with CHAINS. THE devil did 6 things in this man’s life. after taking him HOSTAGE. He didn’t have mercy even after doing all kinds of torture. He does the following:  1.REMOVES THE IDENTITY. I believe that the man had an official name. like Sam, Peter that was given to him by parents. Instead he made this man nameless. That’s what anyone possessed gets reduced to. This man had no name. He was being referred to as A MAN WITH UNCLEAN SPIRIT. That’s how he was. 2.REMOVES TITLE from king to madman. The guy was now known as a madman. Either he was a leader. 3.ISOLATES the man who had relatives, parents was now staying away from home in tomb..no longer did they value him as their blood relatives.but an outcast.continued. 4.SEPARATES FAMILY MEMBERS The devil created a separation in that guys family. The brothers and parents were not feeling any sympathy for. They looked at him to rather be dead than alive. 5.TORMENTS.After doing all these still the devil wasn’t satisfied.it was not enough.the man was in pain.living in cold,eating nothing,cutting himself with stones.verses 5.he had been crying.but when he saw Jesus,the evil spirit started begging. Because the king of kings had arrived.he who is lord over enemies.verses 8-14. Jeremiah 17.7 blessed is the man who trusts in the lord.

Cooking Our Food

Here we use the 3 stones or 3 fireplace as a stove. Then we light sticks and place pot on it. It easy the cheapest that our poor people can afford. But the effects are that the smoke emitted is so poisonous to the women they sometimes get cancer, just the way cigarette smokers do. At times the children develop eye problems that affect there education, and many deaths have been reported as a result of house fires from sparks because they are grass thatched.

We pray for blessings to get improved stoves for the families. They cant afford them, but they emit less smoke and are safe for children. Please consider a donation to help us purchase safe cooking stoves.

Baptism at Church

We had visitors who came to our Church. We had a lovely teaching and after prayers, ADAMS a young man who had received Jesus requested for a baptism. We boarded their vans and went to River Yala.

Accompanied by other pastors from headquarter, I read the verses, then they dipped him in water as a sign of dying and rising with Jesus. There were celebrations as the congregations, and even those women who were washing clothes at the river, joined in praising the Lord.

Free Medical Clinic

It was a day of relief as many patients turned out in large numbers to get free  treatment. Yes, due to poverty level many can’t afford to get treatment at government hospitals which do not only have few drugs but are far and out of reach.

This has made many to resort to Panadol to relieve the pains for all illness. Typhoid, Asthma, AIDS, Malaria, Pneumonia, etc. Thank God for the Team for the Help. At least they get treatment once in many years.

Visit from Canadians

Today we were privileged to welcome a team of white Canadians who visited our village. They got to painting of a laboratory they built at Bar Olengo health centre. They will conduct free medical camp in various places to help treat the sick. Here we have people suffering from eye, ear, tooth problems. But since they can’t afford to raise the amount required, they opt to stay at home. There for when such blessings come, people turn out in large numbers. In the last 2 years we had a team of Korean doctors. Thanks to God for this team.
