MERRY CHRISTMAS

What do you consider to be the most exciting description to share with unbelieving people this Christmas season? LUKE 1: 32 - 35 Gabriel described Jesus in significant words and Phrases. 1. Great 2. God`s son 3. Promised Messiah in David`s line 4. Reign forever 5. His kingdom never ends Jesus is greater than John and greater than all other human. This means in superiority in rank because of ability, virtue, authority, and power, The son of the Most High. Most High refers to God. This means that He is the Son of God. Jesus is the promised Messiah in David`s line. 2Sam. 7:11-16. He reign in power as the Messiah king but His kingdom is spiritual and eternal , not earthly and temporary. - Jesus reigns over Israel forever. He did not free them from the Romans, but He offered them freedom from sin`s bondage, a much more significant salvation. - Jesus kingdom will have no end. With Jesus, God`s kingdom broke into history, will be fulfilled when Jesus returns and extend through eternity. Gabriel declared the mystery that God would accomplish Mary`s pregnancy through His sovereign power. He described God`s act with two parallel statements. `` The Holy spirit will come upon you`` and `` The power of the Most High will overshadow you`` The words express and emphasize God` creative power. As in Genesis 1-2, the account of God`s creating all that exists, Gabriel explanation stresses that God accomplishes what human can not. People cannot produce their own salvation. In His sovereign power, God graciously gave what we cannot do for ourselves. The virgin birth assures believers of God`s power and Jesus` uniqueness. Because Mary`s pregnancy was the result of God`s creative power. Jesus is the Holy One - sinless and set apart for God`s redemption purpose. He is moral pure, the perfect sacrifice who offered Himself to atone for people sins . Jesus is God`s revelation of Himself, and people recognized Him as such. Gabriel emphasized Jesus deity. God bless you as we look upon what God has already given us. Pastor Mike

This was a very wonderful day that we celebrated here in Kibera Nairobi on 13th November 2009. This was to sensitized the the community the important of girl child in our society. ``Stop girl circumcision`` this was the message we carried a cross on our banner as we led a mass procession. Right to protection STOP violence against children Our walk took almost 2 kilometres to the destination. our ministry condemn girl circumcision as being practized by some of the communities here in Kenya. There has been a problem especially when the time for delivering comes. Some even dying when giving birth. Our procession was so successful and was well attended. We thank God for our message was heard. And I know those community who practise this way shall refrain. Pastor Mike. Rise and Shine Center

Friends of Jesus Ministries: KAKAMEGA CRUSADE CONTINUE

Friends of Jesus Ministries: KAKAMEGA CRUSADE CONTINUE

KAKAMEGA CRUSADE CONTINUE

Kakamega is one of the provincial Headquarter of the Western Province in Kenya Africa. It is just near the boarder of Kenya and Uganda. It is about 300 km from Nairobi the Capital city of Kenya. You can use aircraft and land either in two of the international airport Eldoret or Kisumu but you can as well pass throught Jomo Kenyatta International airport. It will take you about 4 hours to reach western province. The climate is not hot like Mombasa but moderate, most of people there are of small scale farmers using traditional way of farming. Ugali is the staple food ( grain flour cooked ) Western province has mountains such as mount Elgon which is the second highest mountain in Kenya. It is also near the largest lake in Africa lake Victoria, the fresh water lake. When you go to Kakamega you will meet the Luhya people which is the second largest tribe in Kenya, you will see bull fighting and the crying stone. CRUSADE It was so successful and for that matter in we give thanks and glory to God who did this. Many people confessed Jesus as lord and saviour. We had to pray for the sick and also deliverence. There was a boy who had been tormented by the evil spirit which could choke him and make him fall down to apoint of dying. We had to cast out those evil spirit. We thank God the boy was set free in Jesus name. There was a family that had devorsed but through counseling and praying for them God brought them back together again. We give all glory to God.

KAKAMEGA CRUSADE

WESTERN KENYA MISSIONS When we speak of missions, we are talking about all the church does to fulfill the mission or purpose of God. This would include such things as giving, going and praying for missions. The command of Jesus to wait for the promise of the Father was not only for those first disciples in Jerusalem. It is for all believers of every age until Jesus comes again. We, like those early believers, must seek the face of God until the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Only then we will be adequately equipped to be His witness at home and to the ends of the earth. Having promised His disciples power, Jesus ascended into heaven. As He disappeared from their sight two men ( angels) appeared before them. The angels challenged them. `` Why are you standing here staring into the sky? This same Jesus will come again in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven`` Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel. And yet, He was insistent that they not begin the task, until they had first been clothed with power from on high. We, like those first- century disciples, have also been commanded to take the gospel to all nations. And we , too, must obey the command of Jesus to wait for the Spirit`s empowering. This empowering comes as a result of one`s being baptized in the Holy Spirit. The purpose of their being filled with the Spirit is not for conversion but empowering for missional witness, as Jesus predicted in Acts 1:8 `` But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witness.......... As we go into the world to preach the gospel, we can anticipate resistance. Sometimes we will even experience threats and persecution. When this happens, we should remain focused on the task that God has given us.We should go and seek Him for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit. Our prayer should not focus on problems, but on God and ability to take care of us and meet our every need.

WESTERN KENYA CRUSADE

WESTERN KENYA CRUSADE

We thank God for having been faithful in our Kakamega Crusade which took place from 25th November to 29th of the same month 2009. We saw many people giving their lives to Jesus Christ as lord and savior. Many were healed and delivered by the name of our lord Jesus Christ.

Friends of Jesus Ministries: MOMBASA MISSION

Friends of Jesus Ministries: MOMBASA MISSION

MOMBASA MISSION

This was the most mission trip that I saw God manifesting along the Coast of East Africa Kenya. Most of people who live here are dominated by the Islamic religious. As we remember the trade that took place early before the Portuguese arrived in 15th century along the coast of East Africa. Arabs came to trade to the the coast of East Africa bringing their religious which was the Islam. They later on intermarriaged with the Bantu of the coast and formed the Swahili people. Our mission was so successful as we did a lot of door to door evangelism. The people there were so welcoming. Several people gave their lives to the lord. TRADITIONS The coastal people like leisure so much, the climate is suitable for that . They enjoy bursting on the sandbeach, the waters of the Ocean...... Most people go there just for relaxing and leisure.I have seen families breaking because of adultery and people hunting for money. These has made most people to be involved in evil deeds morally. A husband and a wife would just divorce for a months to entertain a foreigner looking for money to feed the family. There are also other evil things, witchcrafts and demonic possession.I met a family which had divorce for some months. I thank God for they gave their lives to Jesus Christ. When I was doing my counseling I came to discover that these family had gone to the beach because of poverty and unemployment. They had a family to look at, so they were forced to sell themselves for money. God have mercy on them. These people needs a lot of teaching and counseling. DELIVERANCE I thank God for His deliverance, people who were possessed were set free indeed. There was a women who was demonic possessed for actually five years . God set her free. Another woman wanted to commit suicide for her husband abandoning her also gave her life to Jesus Christ. SALVATION Many people gave their lives to Jesus Christ as we were preaching in Ukunda, Musambweni and Likoni in Mombasa. In Ukunda a lady who was a moslim gave her life to Jesus Christ. This made me remember that JESUS CHRIST came to all the people and that is why He has commissioned as to Go Ye and preach the gospel to all mankind. Matt. 28:19.

UGANDA MISSION

Our mission in Uganda

This was one of the successful mission that I saw in my life. Many people got healed. God deed many miracles in Uganda, there was deliverance power movement of the Holy Gost in the church. Many people gave their lives to Jesus.

True life Holy Ghost Church is the place where we had our Reval meetings. There was a tremendous attendance of people who were ready to hear and receive the word of God.This Church was founded the year 1998 by Pastor Godfrey with his wife Rose Ndawula who worked tirelessly. Church itself is situated in Abaita Babiri in Entebbe Airport Uganda.

Customs and beliefs of the Area

The bigger percentage of the community practices Idolatry, worship of the dead. About 40% are illiterate, living in povert and most people are affected with HIV / Aids. The area is infiltrate with shrines. People fear the witch and the sorceror in the village. There are two powers in the region, the power of the darkness and the power of God. The church has done great thing in the community, most of the shrines have been destroyed and people taught the word of God

God did many wonders there, those possessed were delivered and set free from the bondage of the devil by Jesus, people gave their life to Jesus, there was door to door evangelism, guiding and counselling to the women and youth,praise and worship. For the Bible say, " If you shall know the truth, the truth shall set you free." Jesus came to set us free and free indeed.

May the glory and Honor be given to the Lord of heaven and universe. We pray that His work and deed may be seen in our daily lives as we live here in His created world. Amen By pastor Mike

UGANDA MISSION : WHAT IS YOUR VISION

UGANDA MISSION : WHAT IS YOUR VISION

WHAT IS YOUR VISION

FROM VISION TO VEHICLE

What are visions?

What are visions ? and where does they originate from?.

It is a hope with a blue print. It is passiopn with a picture . It is a burning yes inside. It is a dream of a picture of prefered future.

Vision is spurned by faith sustained by hope, sparkled imagination and strengthen by enthusiacism.

Visions comes from a divine human synegy where God will and acts in us while we will and act for Him. (Philippians 2:13)

WHAT ARE YOUR VISIONS

Is it for the street people? Hospitality, youth? intercession, men, women, children, dram, evangelism or sacred people working together?

What sends excitement into your heart?

It could be anything even something unusual. What should you do with that burning yes inside you?

The mind has a desire and that is to see only one image. It therefore goes into overdrive typing to integrate the two and it will put most of its energy toward the picture that is most viewed.

Therefore, people who focus only on" what is" will create more of what is.. People who focus mostly on " what could be" would begin to create what could be.

Unwilling to handle the stress of seeing the two disparate images, they take down, or turn off the vision of the future and thus slide back into the status quo.

How do you get your ideas into implementation from vision to a vehicle?

The following are the seven steps to take.

1. Ask philosophy question.

2, Draft a proposal,

3. Simmer in prayers,

4. Enlist key people,

5. Draft a plan,

6. Present your plan,

7. Produce the plan

UGANDA MISSION date 15th to 20th April 2009

REVIVAL MEETINGS IN UGANDA what is a revived church? what do I mean by a revived c church? The word revived means to return to consciousness, or life, to recover life, vigor, or streangth, to become reanimated or reinvigorated, to become active operative, valid, or flourishing a gain. It is a church where we see dynamic ( power ) of the Holy Spirit released ( see 4:14, 5:17, Acts 1:8, 6:8, 10:38, Rom. 15: 19 , ICor. 2:4, Eph. 3:16) Where the Holy Spirit lives you will find lively, dynamic and powerful result. It is where people will say "man, I can not wait to get to the church. I love it. God is there. I don`t know what`s going to happen next. I am blown a way. This is an empowered church. It embosses " the season of revival" and experiencing God`s empowering presences as it creatively balances word and spirit structure and spontancity. Revied church is beeing built together to become a dwelling in church.God lives by His Spirit Eph. 22:22. It is saturated with God.

THE AGONY AND THE ACSTASY

Renewal is an adventure of agony and acstacy of losing and winning of conflict in a change requiring steady character. Three challenges face Revival churches. managing conflicts,motivating change and modelling character.

The Holy Spirit courses change while tensions mount. The initial effect is after conflict and sometimes divisions. More battle are fought over change than theology. Most of us don`t like changes but we like safe environment.

Most of us fall into one of four tendences in our personality types.

1. Radicals, 2.Progressives,3. Coservatives, and 4.Traditionalist.

CHARACTER OF RADICAL PEOPLE

Are the source of many good ideas and provide " leaving " in the dough mix.They tend to be impulse and at time unwise. They operate in an emotional climate . They are early starters with quick burnout. They will help motivate and empower change. The Radical push the envelop and look like rebels. They can threaten conservatives and traditionalists. They say, Let`s go for it.

PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE

Are turned into and anticipate the need for change.They are risk - takers who live on the edge but they are not hasty. They operate in operational climate. They quickly persive the benefits in good planning and well spearhead new directions. They don`t go by old programs and are the best communicators to the conversations. They provide spirit and stability in change . They say Let`s go for it but let`s slow down.

CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE

They see the value of the status of quo and do not have a felt need for change. Many of them join a church because it satisfies their needs. They will anger the progressives and radicals because they ask the strategic questions that those groups don`t expect from them. They operate in a rational climate and are not hasty. Financially they give most. Radical don`t have it and progressive don`t keep it. They say, well maybe let`s go, but why do we have to.

TRADITIONALIST PEOPLE

Are extremely resistant to change and have a tendency to be hostile angry and vocal about change. They will complain and argue although they sound rational, they operate in an emotional climate , progressive perceive them as enemies or obstacles. They do not support change and in the rare case they undergo changes. They say I don`t want to go!.

Can you see yourself generally in one of the above categories?.Do you see how you can be helpful or hinderance to God - inspired change which might course conflict in the church?. Churches fall in one of these four categories.

Radicals and progressives might lead revived churches but they need conservatives and the raditionalist to support them. Because fear and comfort form the root of resistance to change

LIVING BY SPIRIT Galatians 5: 25. Since we live by the spirit, lets us keep in step with the spirit. In my daily life, I have experience how one can live only by the spirit of God. I know this is not an easy job but it pays. At my back you can see the lake Victoria which is the larggest lake in Africa and second in the world, this is Entebbe beach in Uganda.There is also an international air port just one kilometre from where I am standing.I had a faith reaching there and now it has come true. How do we live by the spirit? To live by the spirit is unnerving yet exciting, full of tensions yet peace, with strange yet wonderful outcome. We are open with unbridle expectation for him to move, urge and guide , by obedient and risky faith fastened to the father a genda. The world did not set agenda for Jesus. People could not predict what he would do or say next because he had no plan but sought what the Father wanted. He did not operate from programs. He waited for God`s urging and Spirit guiding. As a chance we have done a lot. Planned great services, sponsored exciting conferences and rallies without much prayers of inquiring of the Lord. You need to come to a place in your life where you should lay down down at the alter of sacrifice through repentance and reflections.Beeing asking yourself where is the spirit leading, moving and directing me.On who is the Spirit abiding or anointing. You need to decrease or differ regarding your position. You need to feel demoted to junior, right where God`s wants you to the low road of brokeness, submission and servanhood. We live by spirit as we yield to Him as we submit our plans, our programs, and personal lives to the spirit in advance To live by the spirit also means like King Jehoshaphat of what he did by inquiring from the lord The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. ( Heb. 11: 6.) God shows up move often when the doors of faith and expectance is open than the doors when closed. The heart of living by spirit is to walk in the annointing God`s gives us to walk in His presence and power ( Acts 10: 38 declares) An anointing is a supernatural enablements grace, manifested presence of the Holy Spirit operating upon or through individual or corporate group to pronounce the works of Jesus Christ. By Pastor Mike

DID GOD CARE? HAS HE FORGETTEN US?

CHRISTIAN SUFFERING I have been wondering why do Christian suffer especially to our Country whereby there is no food, medicine, hunger, hiking prices of important commodities, poverty, people dying because of HIV/ AIDS in Africa and other parts of the world, breaking marriages, divorce, children not obeying their parents, people loving money more than God while others being selfish. Why do they experience trials and temptations. Trials come to create patience and maturity in our lives. The word trial here means those troubles that come upon Christians from outside, God allows them, trials to come in order to test or prove our faith. But there is also a promise of reward if we remain strong. In contrast, temptation comes from within us. They arise from man`s own sinful nature not from God. Suffering is normal part of the Christian life. Christ suffered and so with all Christians. But there is also great hope. If we suffer with Christ, we will also rule with Him. The Book of James, Hebrew, and I Peter gives us many explanation and instruction about suffering. The early Church knew much about suffering. Those saints did not always understand why they suffered. Did God care? Had He forgotten them? Hebrew, James and I Peter offer hope and encourage to all suffering Christians. Hebrew emphasized that Christ is greater than all who came before Him. Christians may suffer greatly, yet faith in Christ is the best path. James taught us to rejoice in trials, because they come for a purpose. He also told us real faith produces work, others know our faith only by what they see us do. Peter encouraged suffering believers, we have a living hope with us. God will one day raise us from the dead. Then He will give us a permanent inheritance that will never fade. Therefore let those who suffer be patient. God bless you my Friend. Pastor Mike. Please pray for CHRISTIN SERVANT HOOD MISSION. founded by Pastor Mike

EVANGELISM IN THE SLUMS KIBERA

MEET PASTOR MIKE DOING EVANGELISM Kibera is one of the second largest slum in Africa with a total of 1.2 million people living there. All the forty two tribes and other tribes around the world dwells in this place. Most of the people living here are desperate children and youth. Due to lack of job opportunities have made their parents poor of which has resulted to the spread of HIV/Aids epidemic. Most of the youth are on drug addict for being idlers and women have engaged themselves in prostitution for them to earn a living but to those who are employed earn too little which can not sustain them. It is my appeal to the well wishers to pray for Kibera people for God to open up ways to assist this problem. Kibera has many religion and believes of which require one to teach sound dotrine. Pastor has lived in Kibera for more than twenty five years and doing evangelism. God called me to his people. I started evangelizing door to door and crusade still when I was young and I enjoy this work. Though it has its difficulties to the people we meet. Some don`t have bibles, this would force me to buy for them Bibles in Kiswahili. Kiswahili Bibles are very expensive and yet it is a language they can understand better. "Where would you go when you die?" In African customs it is very hard to ask this question. In some houses when you ask this question they may think you have a plan of praying for one them to die. You need to pray to God to give you wisdom to how you can ask the question of which is very important. Most of the people will tell you I will go to heave. May I ask you the second quetion. If you were to find youself before God and He were to ask you, What can make me allow you into heaven. Here is a place whioch will make you know whether the person you are witnessing to is saved or not. For many will tell you many stories of what they do at church, community, neighbours, helping the poor and so on. For we are save not by work but by the grace of God through faith and that not by youslf.. I have enjoyed doing this work before the lord Jesus comes. Would you like joining me in evangelism in Kibera. Please write to me if you have that call and ready to minister with me. God bless you. Pastor Mike.

RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME

THE VIEW OF RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME It is now two years since when Rafiki Children`s Home was started in the year 2007 . Most of these Children are from the Streets and some are orphans and also Vulnerable. The Home is situated in Olympic in Kibera Nairobi. The Home was started by by Pastor Mike and his wife Matroba with Sister Ann Jones from U.S. A. The boys have really enjoyed staying a home that cares for them in education, spiritual matters, physicall and emotionally. Washington Ochieng the boy you can see just sitting on the bed, was taken from the streets of Nairobi. The boy was so frustrated and had no hope of living. He saw life as meaningless. He never wanted to see even his own parents and even his brothers and sisters or go to school. Oching comes from a family of seven, his mother died when he was still young. His father managed to marry another wife who later mistreated him. The boy went to the street. I just got him on the street when I was doing door to door evangelism. The boy never wanted to come with me as he thought that I could have mistreated him just like his parents. "Oching, do you know I was just the way you are" I said to him. My Mother died when I was one and a half years. Praise God Ochieng has accepted to forgive his parents and also ready to go to school. I have stayed with him for two years. He is a saved boy and co operative and humble boy. Please you may donate or sponsor a child or send any kind of a gift to these precious Children of God. They need education, food, beds, sheets, blankets, shoes, and clothes and your prayers. Pastor Mike

RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME

THE END OF YEAR 2008 CHILDREN`S TOUR Rafiki Children`s Home will never forget the tour they had by the end of the year 2008. I could hear children recalling how joyful they were when they toured one of the historical garden in the republic of Kenya. I hope this will be so educative to them. It was a very good moment for the children who are orphans, and also from the streets being recognized in their lives. They had just closed their school for December holidays which could last for a month. Pastor Mike, Matroba, Lawrence and Milly who is the social worker had just made some arrangements of transport and lunch for the children. Children enjoyed so much in learning the historical event of Kenya especial how we got independent and the raising of the flag in Uhuru garden. They also had so many activities. They have promised to write a composing on how they enjoyed the December holiday 2008. Pastor Mike

RAFIKI CHILDREN`S HOME

BOYS FROM THE STREET TO A HOME Well done boys!!. These are boys from Joseph Kang`ethe Rescue Centre. It is now one year since Friends of Jesus Ministries visited the rescue centre for the boys. We managed to take three boys in the above picture. James Esau being one of them. In our home, boys really changed both morally and physically. We took them to one of the Government school, though it was hard for them to copy with the Education since they had been out from school for many years. The boys have improved a lot and they don`t think going back to the street a gain. We managed to take two of the boys to their home. We feel so happy as we see them living with their family. Rafiki Children`s Home appreciate the good co operation that they have with the parents and guardian or relatives of the children we have.We have been able to move to this extend because of their involvement, in prayers, and support . We would also appreciate the support we had from well wishers and through God`s guidance we can!!. Please continue praying for our home. Would you like to be part of this program? Join by sending whatever gift you have for these children. You may either sponsor one in education. Please write to us by email shown, God bless you. Pastor Mike
