Prayer Support Letter
September 2009
We certainly live in a rapidly changing world. We are in those days the Bible calls “perilous times” (1 Timothy 3:1-5), and we must be aware that it means that many things that are happening in the world are causing “times of stress” (as that is what “perilous” means) for many. But for the true Christian it is a time of great challenge, when we can function in the “opposite” spirit through our having and maintaining a right relationship with Jesus Christ. While the world is “flying to pieces,” we can be “getting it together” like never before! Because we are fore-warned in the Scriptures, we should not be amazed at what is happening in the world ~ and according to the Scriptures we should also be aware that God has promised“to pour out His Holy Spirit upon all flesh” (Acts 2:16-21).
This is His promise for the last days (which commenced on the Day of Pentecost and continues today). Right now, in many parts of the world, we are hearing of tremendous outpourings of the Holy Spirit ~ Scores of people believing on Jesus and being born-again (often in some most unlikely places) ~ Outstanding signs, wonders and miracles as God turns up ~ and brand new Christians receiving revelations of God that amaze us. It is time for every Christian to rise up and be counted; to know that Jesus has called us into His Kingdom “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), and that we need to be listening to His voice and obeying whatever He asks of us. There has never been such a day of opportunity as we presently have , and we can be used of God to extend the Kingdom of God like never before. People are desperate for answers! ~ and Christians believe they have the answers ~ so let us demonstrate to our generation that we, indeed, have found the answers through our Lord Jesus Christ!
This is a time when unfulfilled dreams can be realized, when the will of God can be fulfilled! Let me encourage you to rise up and claim your destiny in God. He called you for that purpose! Do not let anyone “rob” you of that. Do not let other Christians talk you out of the will of God for your life! (Know for sure some will try)! Time is now too short to be “playing religion”; to be “going through the motions,” etc. It is time to rise up into all that God has destined for us! I say, “If God can use a school drop-out like me and, without any professional or theological training, can use me to touch thousands of lives around the world, then He can do it for you too!” It is not about what we have not got; but rather Who we do have living in our lives right now ~ JESUS the Son of the Living God! Do you know that? Be encouraged to take the answer of Jesus to those you can, and know the Holy Spirit is right there with you to back up your testimony! This is our day to see the visitation of God in reality! God bless YOU! ~ James Mabwa

I thank God who has made this possible that I can share of What we are doing & what God is doing through us, God has really use me in a great way, In my ministry life from 1990, But recently he began to do great things, in 2003 I was invited to speak in a Pastors & leaders meeting out of my town Kakamega & as I was ministering to people, there was a man 24 years Blind from birth that was brought in the meeting & after prayers God opened his eyes! Among other great miracles, In 2007 August I flied to the Philippines, the trip was so hard & I raised the ticket by selling some things from my house & I went there by faith, Miracles happened & one lame person on a wheelchair got healed & walked Praise God!! I was able to preach in 15 different churches, 5 bible schools & 2 jails; I stayed there for one month,
Last Sunday on 6th September 2009 in our Sunday service, a lame person came who heard me on the radio, came to church with crutches & I prayed for him & was able to walk, ran & jump without the crutches & a woman that had a backache & stomachache, I slapped her back so hard & the pain despaired, Praise God!
Yesterday Sunday the 13th September 2009, The man that was lame & was healed came to church walking without crutches & he testified of What God did to him, then there was great time of deliverance & I prayed for a woman with 7 demons & she was delivered!!
We have special programs in the church, Like, Feeding & clothing program of street boys, widows, the poor & the orphans every month, this always costs us like US$300 every month.
We have 5 orphans that we constantly taking care of, we have rented a house for them, we pay house rent, buy them food etc. Recently we have been going through some tough time without food; please pray that God will provide.
In the church we have a project like, buying of plastic chairs, buying Sound System. We are also believing God for a church property where we can build a church and an orphanage there.
We have Pastors that are pasturing our Churches & leaders that Volunteer to serve in the church, some can’t afford even food because some have no jobs.
So kindly we request for prayers & support from you.
