Kingdom discipleship training:
The Home Fellowship Group established five months ago is continuing strong and flourishing in the Lord. Training continues on unfolding and expanding the Biblical understanding and practical outworking of the Good News of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God in our / their lives. The Kingdom coming there!
The Gospel is called the Glorious Gospel; the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. The message of that Gospel is far greater than just Jesus’ amazing and Glorious death and resurrection for our sin.
It is about the full unfolding of the incomprehensible Love of God for us all. It is a journey into His Glorious unfathomable Grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God) toward us. It’s about being transformed to be Fruitful doers and not simply knowledge gatherers with theoretical “christianity”. Jesus says: “This (bearing (Kingdom) fruit) is to the Father’s Glory!” (John 15)
It is also about Him substituting the kingdom of darkness with the Kingdom of His Dear Son. Jesus, the King of Kings stripped away all the authority and power of every evil force opposed to His Kingdom. The Gospel is proclaiming that we are living in the freedom and victory of that reality daily, and resisting and opposing the enemy in every way.
It is further, experiencing the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and living by His Life; Living by faith and seeing the Power and supernatural great works of God in action.
It’s about replacing death, hopelessness and destruction with God’s Life and Blessing.
These dear “ordinary’ folks have done just what Jesus said. They have accepted the Kingdom as little children and have now themselves entered into it and seeking it to come in its fullness in their village.
They are excited about the revelation of the Gospel and the purpose and plan of God for their lives. They are excited that God has included them in bringing it about and continue eagerly and faithfully waiting on God, searching the Scriptures and trusting the Holy Spirit to illuminate the way for them.

LEARNING BETTER FARMING TECHNIQUES
Last month was the start of preparing the fields for planting rice crops. With some financial aid the 10 families have been enabled to rent good farmland that should yield a good harvest; enough to repay the debt and provide much needed income and food that will carry them through the next planting season.
We provided them with the necessary prayer, seed, fertilizer, and herbicides to ensure the best chance for great crops.
ACQUIRE LIVESTOCK
Chickens
We were able this month to provide the families with building materials to start building chicken coups in preparation for delivery of chicks early in August. This will make a considerable change to their wellbeing.
In spite of being tired of the long days in the hot Africa sun preparing the rice fields, and also working very hard to get the coups completed, there is an infectious excitement present in them. They cannot stop giving thanks to God for coming to their aid and choosing them to bless them this much. It overflows to others and is noted because of it being so genuine.
No longer will they be limited to meager cassava meals, but this will soon be supplemented by their own rice, eggs and milk and a chance to earn some well needed extra income.

PARTNERS WITH THE LORD
It humbles me to realize what an honor and High calling it is when God invites us to partner with Him in this mighty work!
This is the Lord’s Vision and He is truly The Owner, Provider and Source. He has abundantly, supernaturally supplied all our needs to this very day.
I praise Him for everyone that He has drawn to be any part of implementing the Glorious Gospel there, as a testimony of God’s love, power and shalom (Wholeness).
God Bless you! Kajalajata thanks you!
