Newsletter for a prosperous 2012
“Year of Serving with Abundance of Joy”
During a severe testing by affliction, their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed into the wealth of their generosity. 2 Corinthians 8:2 (HCSB) Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. I rejoiced greatlythat I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 2 John 1:3-4 (NKJV)
We appreciate our partners for support in 2011. Our prayer is you enjoy the Christmas and enter the new year to serve with a joy. Through our ministry, the Lord saved, healed and delivered, souls were restored, saints raised and equipped for ministry. We welcome you all to celebrate with Bishop Dr. Grace, Richards Kariuki and AGIM team as they enter the year of “Abundance of Joy " in 2012 and as they continue to equip sons and daughters for the establishment of God's Kingdom.
The year 2011 was the year of serving with humility. Through this God has enabled us open several Churches in Kenya and Tanzania. The Churches in Kenya are registered as Abundant Glory International Ministries (AGIM) and the Churches in Tanzania are Amazing Grace International Ministries. We welcome you all to support our General overseers, Bishop Dr. Grace and Richards Kariuki, our overseer in Kenya Reverend Samuel Maina and in Tanzania Reverend Innocent Kapenda.
The servants of God overseeing the Bible schools are Pastor Fabian Masaga in Tanzania and Pastor Jackson Wanyama in Kenya.
The Children at Amazing Grace Children's Home in Kenya have grown spiritually, they lead worship at Abundant Glory Church in Kasarani and have been invited to minister in various ministries in Kenya. They have made a great impact everywhere they have ministered. We are grateful to our dedicated caregivers led by our administrator Pastor Lucy Maina who together with her husband Reverend Samuel Maina have become a great role Model to our children.
We are also thankful to Amazing Grace Board of Directors for their donations, contributions, wise counsel and decisions for the children's Home. Two of our girls at the Children’s Home, Rachel and Joyce did their Class eight exam (KCPE) and our prayers are for them to get good schools for their high school education.
Our partners donations enabled us to enroll and have the younger children join St. Matthew Junior School (private school) that is 5 minutes from the children's centre. The children have shown great improvement because of the quality education and the special attention they are receiving from the teachers.
We appreciate the Directors of St. Matthew for partnering with us. Due to the number of orphans and vulnerable children out there we are not able to admit at the children's home because of our limited space, the board has purposed to have a major fundraiser through a Music concert and all of you becoming our guests on April 1st 2011 to enable the children acquire a big land and build their own spacious facility.
We were able to ordain and license Reverends Samuel and Lucy Maina of Abundant Glory Kasarani and Ruiru and Reverends Joseph and Margaret Waweru of Abundant Glory (Conquerors) Church - Mowlem. The two, Reverend Samuel Maina and Reverend Joseph Waweru will be officiating all our weddings in Abundant Glory International Ministries. These ordination ceremonies were full of tangible manifestation of God's presence. We give God all the glory for honouring us with His continuous presence.
