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.

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.
