JOSEPH OPENED ALL THE STOREHOUSES

27/2/2017

0 Comments

 
We are so thankful for God's help over another week when we have had numerous opportunities to share about the work of Feed my Lambs; more details in our prayer letter which will be issued soon. 

However, our hearts today are heavy for those in Kenya and Uganda who are suffering because of the severe drought which has hit the countries. 

Our dear co-worker Joyce has met with those this past week who are suffering because of the current situation. 

Please click here to read more and please do consider helping if you are able. 

Thank you.

HOW SHALL THEY HEAR?

13/2/2017

0 Comments

 
We thank God for His help at the missionary weekend which ended a week ago today.  We believe the Lord really blessed all involved and we thank Him for the opportunities we had to share of the ministry we are involved in. 

Throughout the weekend we were reminded by various speakers of the verses in Romans 10 : 13 - 15.  In particular verse 14 which says:

Picture
And so the phrase which has been in our minds over this past week has been, "How shall they hear?  As we heard missionaries share during the weekend from various countries we were challenged as to the need across the world.  We were challenged as to the need on our doorstep. 

Yesterday evening we attended a meeting in our local mission hall.  The couple who shared told us of people they had previously worked amongst.  People who had no Gospel witness in their tribe.  As a result, and because of their hunger to hear....they walked for around 3 days journey, every 3 weeks for 20 years to plead that missionaries come and tell them.  "How shall they hear?"

My mind went back to the time I spent almost 4 months in a country called Guinea-Bissau, in West Africa.  As I spent that time with a missionary, we would drive along and villages would be pointed out to me and I was told of how there was no Gospel witness in that village.  Village after village the story was the same.  "How shall they hear?"  When I went to that small country, many people in Northern Ireland had not heard of it.  Today, people from Guinea-Bissau live in our town.  "How shall they hear?"

In the past week a rep from our Nairobi office has gone to visit a children's school which I have been communicating with.  It is in a slum area of Nairobi and he had to take a motorcycle to reach the place.  Too far to walk, but not easy for a car to access.  Those who run the group were keen that the children be enrolled on our lessons so that they can be taught the Gospel.  Today they have collected the first lesson so that the children can begin to study.  A photograph was sent to me of some of the children.  Among them, a little Muslim girl.  "How shall they hear?"

And yet there is another challenge.  As we think this week of the phrase, "How shall they hear?"....we realise that of the 40 children from that school which have today been registered on our course....9 are deaf.  "How shall they hear?"  A people group all of their own.  Often cut off from people and the community around them.  Yet, those who need to hear the Gospel.  We thank God that He has been leading in ways we had not expected.  Opening doors we had not anticipated.  Answering prayer so that the physically deaf and the spiritually deaf may hear. 

What about your friends and family?  What about those you work with?  What about those who live around our Churches and Mission Halls?  

How shall they hear?......Can you tell them?.....How shall they hear?

REVIEW OF THE WEEK

3/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Our team have been busy this week and we thank God for technology which allows us to communicate easily with them and keep up to date with what they are doing. 

Joyce has been continuing to mark lessons, attend to visitors and to make plans for trips to Nakuru in Kenya and also Nyanza province later in the month.  Both of these are to visit Churches and Schools who use our lessons.  We thank God for provision which has made these trips possible.  We pray that those in the areas will be encouraged. 

Pastor Samuel has been assisting us with some plans for the coming months and we appreciate deeply his help. 

Eunice is attending college so is working reduced hours in our Nairobi office.  Pray for her as she finalises numbers for Bible distribution.  This is very important. 

Joel has been adjusting so well and we are encouraged with the great help he has been to work in these early days.  Please continue to pray for his family. 

William braved a ladies' meeting on Tuesday evening and shared a powerpoint presentation of the work.  We thank God for the interest shown.  On Wednesday evening he attended a committee meeting for the mission hall we attend and last night he was leading a meeting.  It has been a busy week. 

For myself, I also enjoyed the ladies meeting and thank God for helping me as I shared.  The end of the month brings lots of figures and accounts for me to sort in the office and am thankful for keeping on top of this.  My week has involved working alongside those in Africa planning events and activities for the coming months. 

We have a number of meetings booked for the month of February and we are thankful for each opportunity.  This incoming weekend, Feed my Lambs will be represented at a local missionary convention.  Pray that there will be good opportunities to share of the work as people visit our stand.  Pray that people will be burdened to sign up for our prayer news.  Pray also for the other mission agencies who will be represented, especially those who will speak in the meetings. 

We thank God for all He is doing in these days and thank you for your continued support.
