The Coptic People in Kenya are in Great Need

In this time where God in His mercy is blessing our mission and while Africa and our children are facing great threats of sickness, poverty and even death; the Coptic Mission is striving with donors to save the lives of thousands of people. We know this mission is in the hands of God and we know by all your prayers the mission can help in these challenges.

Currently we face a specific challenge and crisis of losing the only available land property which can assist in building facilities to fight against the great needs of the African people. This land with a new center can save the lives of many people. (Click here to read full article)

Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of RAHA Kids

Thanks be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for being so gracious with us on January 11th, 2010 at the Grand Opening of RAHA KIDS.  Although the day started out with a lot of last-minute running-around, the outcome was wonderful, and it was covered by the newspaper and television media stations.  We were fortunate enough to have present with us the Ambassador of Finland, USAID, World Vision, CUAHA, St Benedict’s Children’s Center, Undugu Society, city council and other organizations, which all took time out of their busy schedules to come and support the Inauguration of RAHA KIDS.  After the initial speeches to explain what RAHA KIDS presently does, and the future plans, we received wonderful feedback from the guests of Honor about how innovative the vision was, and how ready and willing they were to support such a project. 

Most of our children come from Kibera, one of the largest slums in the world, which is just minutes away from the drop-in center, and children are increasing every day.  Selim, one of our street children felt compelled to say a word yesterday.  Most of the guests thought he might ask for food, or clothing, or even education, however he only asked that when the guests go back to their organizations and/or government, that they try to address the problem of divorce, since as he said, most of the children ended up on the street because of the breakdown of the family.  He stole the show and the hearts of many of the listeners.  He called not for a bandage to the situation he himself is in, but for a way to prevent future children from entering into his same crisis.  The way he spoke made the guests say that if Selim was given a chance in life, maybe he would be a minister himself one day.

Please pray that many hearts will be moved to support this ministry, and ask the Lord to continue to heal the hearts and lives of these traumatized children, so that they may hear His gentle voice telling them “I know the plans I have for you … plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jer 29:11)

Memories of a Summer of Mission

The Excellence of God’s Power in Earthen Vessels

 
The last days of the Apostles’ fast proved to us that the Acts of the ‘apostles’ is not yet over. We witnessed awe-inspiring events mirroring those of the book of Acts during our month long mission trip. Our missionaries returned home each night with tales of the wondrous works of the Holy Spirit in opening doors for the ospel.
 
Each day our 270 missionaries swept the local area with the message of Christ’s love and a new life in Him. Our missionaries were ordinary people from across the world - some studying at school, others working...most were apprehensive about serving in the Mission.
 

A Dream Inspired Chicken

A great part of the mission service involves door to door Bible sharing. On one such occasion, a deacon, one of the Maryland boys and two London girls were visiting an elderly Catholic mamma. As soon as the group came into the Mamma’s view, she warmly welcomed them into her hut. The mamma excitedly began to share a dream that she had had the previous night. God had showed her that a mazungo (foreign boy) and a local man would come to visit her. God asked her to warmly receive them and thank them with a gift. Finishing abruptly, the mamma jumped up. Slamming the door shut she grabbed her chatenga (shawl/skirt) and began chasing after a hen with a hammer.
