Updates from Natasha Chilikina

Dear friends and family,

The Lord is good and faithful as always!!! The month of August is over and I want to thank you for praying for my visa extension. I got it renewed and it is good until 30^th of November…

At the end of August we had a Pastor’s Conference and it was great to get together, worship and study the Word!!! A few Pastors’ from the States came to teach at the conference and we had more than 180 people who attended this conference, so please be praying for spiritual growth for those who attended.  As I shared before, we have so many churches in Kenya, but not all of them teach the “Whole counsel of God”…Many of them are build on the emotions and don’t really know how to teach the Bible…

Also, we started our Women’s ministry and again we have 4 Bible studies a week…After a break for a month we have less women but it’s good to see that there are those who are faithfully coming for the Bible Studies…and I am especially blessed by those ladies who are coming for tailoring!!! It’s not an easy work for many of them and it takes patience…J

We have another missionary who came  to serve long side with us…Her name is Jamie and she is a huge blessing for us…I was just thinking about God’s love and how He cares for His children!!! He knows exactly what we need and when…so I want to testify that Jamie is a great friend and sister in the Lord!!! I guess I did not realize how it is important to have a person that you can share with and talk to.

 Agape,    Natasha

Rabuna Fi - Women’s Ministry Update:

As the wonderful month of August sadly comes to a close, be encouraged! We are rejoicing in Sudan because the work of our Living Savior is abounding! Today we had 104 ladies attending the Calvary Chapel Nimule Bible Study! All of them received a new necklace design and will be able to feed their families thanks to your support! Please continue to order from our online store at www.rabunafi.org.

 

Today’s message was from 1 Samuel 17:32- 58, which talks about the victory of David over  Goliath.  The women were mesmerized as the Word went forth and spontaneously broke out in clapping and shouts of praise during the teaching. We agreed that our Goliath’s will also be defeated as we like David step forward in pure faith. Jesus is still ready to send armies to flight, to stop the mouth of the accusers, and to lift the burdens for ANY of His children who are willing to ask in childlike faith!

 

What is your battle field? Who is your giant? Where is your Ephesdammin (which means “border of blood”)? Know that the Captain of your Salvation is in full control, do not fear, do not run away, instead go boldly ahead and watch the enemy be slain before you!

 

God Bless you all!

Sage and Courage Forsythe: FUNDS RAISED!

Praise the LORD!  And thank you to all of you who gave in faith that God would use your donations for His glory!  Sage and Courage Forsythe are going to Africa!

With their trip to Africa coming up, and their change in diet on the horizon, Sage and Courage gave some commentary on their views about the up-and-coming "beans and rice only" diet that they will become accustomed to while doing ministry in Africa.  Check out their videos below!


Courage loves beans:

Well, Sage, maybe your brother will eat your beans for you...
