African Gospel Evangelization

THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR KENYA!  Here are portions of Bro. Mutambi's last email.  "I am happy to have this opportunity to update both you and my supporters there in America.  First, I want to let you know I have been ill for the last two months, but God has touched me, I had malaria, typhoic, Amoeber, low suger lever, hight bloos pressure, since the begining of Begruary this year until yesterday when my BP began to oporate normal with over complications dispearing of which I thank God.  Friends began to persuade me to marry so that the wife can take care of me, I told them Jesus will, I don't need a wife. 

About our Churches is thst some churches had to close down due to election crisis which made many people displace running for thir safety.  One person call Levi who lives in the most affected area in Rift Balley, has come here in Nairobi, to tall the story how God saved him and his family from the attackers.  The pastor had started three Churches last year in Kitale area, all people from the village he lives ran to camps, but when he went to check what was going on in the camps, before decide to move to the camp, he found that camps for dicplaced people had turn to be Sodom and Gomora, all kings of immorality was taking place there, including even among children, families were being torn apart, wives leaving their husbands etc.  He prayed to God what he should do, God told him not to bring his family to the camp for safety, but to remain stay in his houyse, God will care of him and family.  Therefore, they stayed until now, people are still in camps, but our pastor stay alone in the village waiting villagers to come and begin living as before.  One night attackers came to invade his home, they were blinded, they only saw a big river sorounding his home, they left and have never come back!  ....  People returning and he is sharing vegatables and tomatoes from garden with them.  Church are restarted. 

About our Mero Church is that for several years the gloor has not been plastered, but memvers managed to raise funds about kes 50,000 last month, the floor is now completed. We prasie God, for such hard times like this God can do miracles of providing for the project although, we still need more money to finsih the alter area in the Church.

About our Christian School, that caters for 150 children, God taslked to a good samaritan, who is providing feeding programme, which had died in 1985.  Children are happy smilling, there is a nned to put up a good kitched with running water, we are believing, the God who provide twent bags of rice, will provide other needs according to His riches in glory, Amen.

Most of all I want to say thank you, very much indeed for standing and praying for me all these years, especially this time, when I can stay without a wife that I loved, that the Lord is keeping me and protecting me from tamptaions and lust, keep on praying and never give up on me.

May the almight bless you, as you share this news with saints, who pray fokr me daily, I hope they enjoyed the video I send. 

Yours in Christ Robert Mutambi"  (Words and spelling as in his email) blessings - Jim

Thanks for your prayers for Pastor Robert Mutambi.  It's been over a year now since Dinah, Robert’s wife, has passed away.  Robert is now doing very well.  Some of his pastors were not sure that he should remain a bishop now that he was single but I reminded him that the Apostle Paul had had a wife that probably left him because of his new faith so it certainly was fine for him to remain a bishop as a single man.  The others seemed OK with that.  And thanks so much for your donations in her name.  They all went into the ministry there in Kenya. 

Brother Robert is now bishop of many new Christian Fellowships in Kenya that are directly pioneered by him or related to his African Gospel Evangelization or A.G.E. of Kenya.  Robert Mutambi is still going strong with the Churches and school for the Kenyan children in the very poor section of Nairobi.  JBMI has helped this group of Churches in Kenya since our first trip there in 1980.  The picture below is of Bro. Robert Mutambi.

Much of their work is in the Mathari Valley just outside the city of Nairobi where the living conditions are terrible.  Robert was born there and has spent his live's ministry caring for them.  The new converts find new meaning in life and many time soon move out of the area because they have found new jobs and means of improving their lives through such things as his carpentry and tailoring classes.  Therefore this work continues to need support and we thank you much for this prayerful help through the years.                     

A multiple building has been built in the Mathari Valley which is used as a facility for Church meetings, school and their vocational classes.  Thanks to our support the ministry continues in helping the people of Kenya in growing in the Lord.  Just recently I received this email and picture from Robert for your information.   I quote “I hereby would like to thank those who are our prayer supporters, and I am happy to send our current Christian photo of the population of the school children which is more than we expected.   We do appreciate your continued financial support, when use the children in the photo today, this is to approve and show that your seed is growing; we can see the uncompleted structure, pray God to provide.   We took the photo in early March of ’06 from the tallest house in our area, in order to see the school building, together you can see our administration block.”  Below are pictures of typical dwellings in the Mathari Valley.

Their ministry is called “African Gospel Evangelization" (A.G.E.).  There mailing address is PO Box 74685 code 00200 city square Nairobi Kenya, East Africa.   Robert's email address is rmutambi2000@yahoo.com. As the people find new life in Christ and their standard of living improves they most often leave the poverty areas to better areas of the city. Therefore the work needs continue support.   JBMI has supported this work since 1980.   Do pray about supporting this needy work in Kenya.   God’s rich blessings be yours now and always.
