Youth and mother’s helping prepare the blocks

Digging the church fountation

Worship leaders with church pulpit leading worship

Here are some of the church members at our outdoor church.
We already have all the blocks ready and the foundation dug too. Please help us build this church and let us invest in the life of this young people. One thing that blows me away that these children don’t know how to read or write but they are taught to memorize scripture and taught how to pray. It is God that makes it possible for this young people to pray and to speak out the word of God.
Again please consider helping us in building this church among the Fulani and Balanta people. It cost is $5,000.

May God bless you,

A Church Planter in Need of Help

I recieved this email from a friend who is in Africa. If you can please help do so.

Dear Pastor Mike,

Greetings from Gabu, in Guinea Bissau in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I’m sending this email to ask for your support in building a church in a Fulani village.
(Pastor Lusio with his pulpit under the trees) It begins with a young man who was our day guard on our base in 2007. Later he was interested of doing a Discipleship Training School (DTS). After his school he went back to his village and start sharing his faith with his family and other village members. Some of converts have been baptize, now he has started his small church under the cashew trees from five members and to 30 members. Rainy season is big challenge for this church under the trees.

The challenge I’m presenting to your mission board and the church members if you prayerfully consider supporting the building of this church. We already made 1,500 dubi blocks (cement mix with mud). The total cost to build this church from foundation, walls, cement flooring, beams, and roofing is $6,000

The church si currently meeting under trees.





I hope to hear from you in your consideration of blessings the Fulani and Balanta Village.

For the Cross,

I want to sit at your feet

Sometimes God's love overwhelms me. When I think of the Journey that my life has been these 36 (37 year tomorrow)years, I am amazed at His Truth, His Grace, His Humor, His kindness and mostly His love and guidance. From a boy that loves sports, cars and 4x4's to a young man, that loved all things of the world, theatre and the Oakland Raiders; to a man who is a Minister of the Word, a Father, a husband and a friend. This journey was all orchestrated by the One who is above all.

It moves me to think that God loves me. If you have known me you know I am screwed up, you have screwed up and you know I mes up again. God is better than than we will ever know, and he is our King, our Father, our Redeemer, Our King of Peace and our Hope. It does not matter what you have chosen for your life, or the mistakes you have made. What truly matters is that the LORD God loves you and desires to spend more time with you. I think that si what is so amazing about God. He desires to spend time with a screw-up like me and loves me espcially when I mess up and come to him as his arms are wide open waiting to hug me.

A new Year and a New Hope

Howdy all,
I am grateful that you still check this little blog of mine and that others come and check it too. If you enjoy please spread the word, and add it to your blog list, Facebook or MySpace accounts. I do not know about you, but I am glad that 2008 is over with. I felt that it was a year of scandals, disappointments and dis-trust.
The American Election is over and Barack Obama is the man who will help Congress and the Supreme Court either screw up America more, or fix our problems.

I just hope that honestly submit themselve to and listen to God. I know that all the American people can use a "bail out" Send me $300,000 and see what I do with it. I know the mortgages would not be failing and either would the auto industry, because people like new cars and they like owning homes. It's just practical common sense.

My hopes for this year are little different. I think the god of money is finally dying in the states and hopefully around the world. Hopefully people will start trusting the creator more. I think that we are going to see some more natural disasters as God is calling people back to him. Not out of discipline or punishment, but as his people share their love for Jesus with their fellow man by giving a helpful hand.

Some of the ways we can do this practically - Visit people. I have been encouraged by fellow leader's to get out more and visit our sheep. (I hope they will join me).

- Read the Bible, Study the Bible ask hard questions about what you are reading "How does this apply to me?" "what changes do I need to make in my life?" "Who are people in my life I need to say goodbye too?" "How can I be a better example of Christ like living in my home, my churhc and my community?"

- Support your church, Give them your time, your talents and your treasure. God gave them all you anyway, why not use them to bless others.

- Support you pastor and his family. We get from all sides of every issue. We are target of everyone criticisms and we get all the blame for the everything that is wrong in your lives or in your church. Plus we have Satan to deal with and our own struggles.

-Pray

-Sing praises to your king Daily.

-Find a devotional book and go through it. This year I picked up the Experiencing God one. Devotional books are great tools for you to grow closer to God.

-Be Thankful
- Be Nice
- Be bringer of Joy.
- Be Hopeful
- Laugh
- Walk in Faith
- Remember Jesus is your Life
- Share your faith with one person this year
- Smile (I hear they are contagious
- Forgives others
and enjoy being a Son or daughter of the most High God.

I love ya,
M
