Amazing Picture of God's Love.

 

God's True Missionaries

 

 LDue to the civil war in Congo, the Church had been affected tremendously due to lack of missionaries and support, until the Lord sent to His mission a young married couple and a single young man from Canada. These young missionaries are full of the Love of Jesus and have shown it to everyone around them. The Lord has put it on their hearts to serve and wash the feet of our great Congolese leaders, which is a kind of love that the people of Congo have not experienced in decades.
 

We thank God for all His care and love!

International Coptic Mission Conference - Vision, Mission, & Strategy

On February 3 - 5, over 130 servants from the Coptic Mission countries of Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia gathered together with His Grace Bishop Paul and 10 priests to conduct seminars, trainings, and workshops for the future of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Africa.  The three-day conference was a time of spending long nights in prayer for God to lead the mission and give us His ideas, strategizing, and seeing a united vision for our churches.  Also, the conference was full of fellowship, praise and worship, and many hugs and smiles all around.  Truly, it was a wonderful way to unite our churches within Kenya and the other African countries.  One year ago, the many tribal problems within Kenya were completely forgotten with different tribes working together for one purpose - to grow the Kingdom of God.

Am I Jonah??

Have you ever wondered why did Jonah run away? How was it possible for him to disobey the Lord’s command?  Was he a true prophet if he so clearly disobeyed the Lord?

Many times we defend Jonah by saying he had the right to do so and to choose where he served the Lord; others empathize and say he was afraid of what would happen and the Journey was too long and too dangerous for him.  Some people might even say that Jonah (a Jewish prophet) was worried for his people, the Israelites and worried that may God got tired of their disobedience, and now wanted Jonah to go and give His love and privilege to other nations.  May be all of these are convincing reasons for Jonah to have run away, right?

Who of us cares for the lost and the faraway people?  Is our desire similar to the Lord’s, who is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance”? (2 Peter 3:9)
