it is good to know

I raise you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth” this is what God spoke to me
I lost my mother when I was a young boy, grow up in tough situations, lived a hard life. Struggling as a young boy to find life and purpose for my life. There was no one who was telling how special I am, and encouraging me to move forward. As time goes by I became an orphan in the community of Masoyi. Years pass by met people who told me how special I am and that I can do many things in life. Along the way I found Jesus who changed my life, who brought me out of the darkness.

Now God has called me back to the same kid who doesn’t have the things I needed in life. Through all this many people spoke words full of life into my life which I appreciate so much. But I am not perfect I do make mistakes and I do have weakness in me. Wont always do what is right, but that’s what I am longing to do. Wanting to do the right things always…I always rejoice when I look back where I come from because those difficult time made me to be strong now. What I do now is working with 29 kids.
Now I am pouring what I have and what I have learned to a group of 29 kids in Mbonisweni at the feeding program. I don’t have it all, but I do have what to give. I have been doing some excise with the kids; sing songs, and teaching them how to pray. Now is time to tell stories which I am looking forward to do that. Further more I have been learning more about the gifts in me.

 In the past fewmonths there was a team from New Hope Texas that came and one of the People I look up too. Was teaching me more about the gifs in me; which is good to know how I am wired. I have three gifts the highest ones where Encouraging, which that’s part of my mission statement. Two prophesy which is new in me never thought I am that way. But I saw the Lord working through me that way. Last one is showing Mercy.
There is a lady that I got the privilege to led her to Christ went to visit her with friend and brought a bible for her. The moment I gave her the bible she was so happy. I saw Joy, happiness in her, went back again next week. She was telling me scriptures. God is doing something good in her and for her.

 In many occasions I saw that people are drawn to me, one of a friend of mine. I will name this friend of mine 24. 24 asked to talk to me, said yes he/she then began to tell me how he/she hates his/her life. I just let her talk and I was just listening all the time. But what I was sensing was that he/she didn’t have any HOPE. So I began speaking words of life. Told 24 to if he/she want help…must come to us. Then 24 was so confused when I said us. Told 24 I meant the youth and pastor including me also. 24 said to me “the youth? They are just like me” said no way you don’t know how God has changed the youth’s life. I didn’t end there I prayed for 24 that God will change 24’s life. Few days pass and I went to the youth service. 24 was there yeah, at the end while I was speaking 24 said “at school I was told to go and find a youth group that knows Jesus and I see that in you guys and I am proud of you. I want to be part of this group” what in few days God already did something I know I didn’t do anything. God changed 24’s life now 24 is seeking God and connecting with people. Now when i talk to 24 always hear good new how 24 said no to many bad things and now she is sharing Gods word with others.

 A good friend of mine once told me that one word can change someone life and it was Nancy I saw that, one of the youth said this; in her own word “thank you for everything you have done for me…whenever you call me “SISTER” I always have the strength to reply back saying “BROTHER” because you are a brother to me”

Have many stories to tell, just is too much to write everything down,

Prayers. 1. Still looking for financial support.
2 That I will continue to do what God has called me for, with no pride.
