Natasha Update: CC High Desert Team in the Congo

We had a conference and the teachings went well, people had many questions, we saw God move…people are hungry for the Word of God.  We need wisdom in how to answer all the questions. We also had a seminar on health education and it went well too…people asked many questions.

We showed a movie and the equipment worked very well. We had a concert and VBS today, please keep us in prayer.

Everybody is healthy and feeling very well, excited to see what God is doing…

Please continue to pray for security.

Natasha: The Team in the Congo

The team from Calvary Chapel High Desert arrived in Nairobi on Tuesday Morning at 2.30 am.  They only had two hours before their next flight to the Congo. They had to repack their bags and get things ready for ministry in such a short time… The last news I’ve heard is that they arrived safely in the Congo and had their first day of the conference!!! Please join us in prayer for the Holy Spirit to move and draw many to Jesus, pray for safety for the team while in the Congo and traveling, and for good health

Baby Josiah

Baby Josiah, the little boy who was born with a hole in his heart, who was taken to the hospital in Germany and had heart surgery, where the doctors were amazed at how long he lived with the complications that he had in his heart, who miraculously lived to be 6^th months old…now is in the presence of his heavenly Father, in the arms of Jesus…Baby Josiah went to be with the Lord only one day after Janet, his mother and Josiah arrived safely back in Nairobi…  

After the church serves on Sunday we visited Josiah’s parents.  When I greeted Janet, I gave her a hug…and her body was convulsing from the pain of grief in her heart…and tears were coming out of her eyes…Janet shared with us that the surgery was very complicated and the doctors were amazed that with the condition of Josiah’s heart he was able to live that long…The surgery itself was 12 hours, and very difficult but it went well.  Josiah was recovering after the surgery and Janet said that he even started smiling every morning when he woke up…Josiah improved in his condition so much that the doctors, after performing many tests decided to let him travel back to Kenya…

After a day of being here in Nairobi, Josiah died…To hear Janet’s testimony of God’s faithfulness was such an incredible time…she said that even though Josiah was sick from the day he was born, he is the best gift from God that they ever had…Through Josiah the Lord brought them so close to Himself…They are giving thanks and glory to Almighty God Who knows what and why, Who has the right to give and to take away…without any questions to ask…It has been an amazing testimony of God’s Sovereignty for us as a church body.

Please keep the family in prayer.

Total Transformation By Richard Angoma

Jesus said in: Mark 16:15 – “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.”

Those words spoken by the Lord are at the heart of our desire to share the Gospel with the people living in the rural villages of Uganda. Remarkably, there are still many people in rural Uganda that have not yet heard the name of Jesus or understood the freedom He offers through a life surrendered to Him. The Bible also tells us: Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” We are compelled to seek out those who are lost, and impart to them the Gospel message...or the Good News!

Literacy Classes provided by FRMA free of charge

We at Canaan Farms want to be sure we are doing our part, and while we are actively involved in agriculture which is time consuming and demanding we believe that we must increase in this vital area of missions.  We also believe that God will greatly bless a “missions-minded” workplace and in turn will supply our needs as we partner with Him in reaching the Lost through our giving of time, talent, and treasure.

With support from Far Reaching Ministries and Far Reaching Ministries Aviation we are raising Christian leaders up from among ordinary farmers. We are also providing discipleship, literacy classes, and income generating activites for the women.

In turn, these servants of God reach out to the villages and farms with the message of the Gospel. Because of this, we are witnessing a great transformation in our rural areas; one that has never been witnessed before.  Testimonies of families abandoning traditional and cultural practices - such as witchcraft - and turning to embrace Christian values is increasingly becoming common. It’s exciting to see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ can transform any person willing to embrace Him.
