PEOPLE FOR JESUS INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES – Ministry Update April – June 2012

Dear Saints and Friends,

Greetings in the most amazing and awesome name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The year is moving on very fast and many things have been going on in the Church and in many communities where we work around the world. The branch churches in Kenya, Tanzania and Pakistan are keeping the fervour of the Spirit and pressing on to fulfill the call to make true disciples of Jesus Christ who are able to declare the glory of God in all the earth. Thank you very much for your role you are playing that has made us come thus far. But all glory we ascribe to the God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

APRIL 2012

Many activities were going on in the ministry since it is a school holiday in Kenya but only a few have been reported.

• 19TH – 23RD APRIL 2012: People For Jesus International Ministries (PFJIM) Mission Team was in Kisumu County (about 250 kilometres away from Narok) for a Church Planting Survey and came back with a strong recommendation that a Church needs to be planted in that area. The Church is planning to plant a Church there in August 15th – 20 August.
• 27TH APRIL 2012: Pastor Tom was very busy training the youth in a powerful seminar which culminated in a spiritual renewal and revival meeting in the night lead by the youth. That took place in the Narok town tent Church.

 MAY 2012

The month was also busy. The PFJIM Mission Team was supposed to travel to South Sudan for a Church planting Mission from 17th –30th May 2012 but that was not the case. The security and the weather conditions in that country were so bad that we were advised by our hosts that we postpone our trip to November 2012.

•  16TH – 19TH MAY 2012: Pastor Tom was very busy launching a community development irrigation project in Western Kenya at Kisumu County in Kandaria village. PFJIM through her partners supported St.Andrea Community Development and Youth Group to purchase Water Pump and all related accessories and items to enable the poor Kandaria village to do Rice and horticultural irrigation farming. Thanks to the partners. Some photos are on display below.
  

  

  

JUNE 2012

We had several things going on. On 2nd June 2012, the Church had an half-year review meeting of all church activities, programmes and plans. The meeting was for all the Church leaders in the Church in Kenya.

WIDOWS AND THE POOR PEOPLES PROJECTS LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2012 BY PFJIM

PFJM has established a self-help project called ”Cluster Dynamics” which are designed to pull together groups of 5, 10 or 15 people from within a community group who are mutually in great need. The groups are tasked with developing a micro-project which will generate income for the group in order that they can support themselves and their families. The groups mainly made up of destitute women, are poor for a number of reasons but mainly due to the tragedy of HIV/AIDS which affects each family in one way or another. Some suffer from the disease themselves, others as a result of losing their husband by HIV/AIDS.

The result is that the remaining partner (usually wife and mother) is left to support a number of children. PJIM can help these groups get established by providing one time initial set up grant of £500, 1000 and 1500 respectively, allowing them to get going with their project and bring in the much needed income that will grow the project and support the group and their dependents. PFJM will closely monitor the projects to ensure that they are profitable to the groups. You can invest in this worthy course that can profitably change lives of the poor widows and others for a life time.
