Dear Friends and Partners,
Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it. Habakkuk 1:5 (NLT)
Greetings in Jesus name. I will forever be grateful to all our partners for your efforts and willingness to support the Amazing Grace Ministries vision and financing the mission as we expand God’s Kingdom and helping us rescue the seed of Africa. Your reward is great and our Almighty God will meet all your needs in Christ Jesus.
We are grateful to the professors at Pan African Christian University in Kenya for accepting to partner with us in ministry and making it possible to minister with joy and ease. We continue to thank the students from United States International University in Kenya, Nairobi University and Kenyatta University for their love and wonderful services at Amazing Grace Children Center, your labor of love is not in vain.
I have come back to US after missing seats in the plane for two weeks in Kenya because of the volcano in Iceland. These two weeks became transformation time as God gave our ministry opened doors and connections we would have never dreamed about. It all started by changing my departure date from US to South Africa where I was to have a conference for ladies with “Kings Daughters of Excellence Ministries” that was to start on Tuesday March16th in Johannesburg.
I was to be the first speaker but could not travel on Sunday 14th March to arrive on Monday March 15th because I had to make a presentation at our Church; “Faith Christian Church and International Outreach Center” (FCCIOC) in Warrenton Virginia where my Pastor Dr. Decker Tapscott is the Senior Pastor. The presence of God at FCCIOC that Sunday was evident, it was hard to shift from an atmosphere of loving God to sharing about Amazing Grace Children's needs.
Changing my departure date to Monday March 15th, I knew God had something in store but I could not figure out what it was. I had to make a connection in Atlanta and boarded a flight to Johannesburg at 4:00pm to be in the plane for 16 hours non stop. The Lord is gracious I was upgraded to first class.
Getting ready to store my carry-on luggage I heard people clap and say “welcome bishop!” To my surprise it was Bishop T.D. Jakes of Potters House in Dallas Texas. What a blessing to travel with someone that spends most of his time ministering to people and in prayer wherever he is. What you see on TV is his lifestyle; always ministering to God's people. I have never seen someone pray and prophesy over the Amazing Grace Children and partners in the way he did and for sure He said that there will be a tremendous growth in our ministry that will give us a breakthrough with souls, organizations and leaders within a short period of time. All this was manifested during my one month stay in Kenya.
We commissioned our Pastor to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and the Church will be launched officially on May 28th. We also commissioned our three ministers in the Amazing Grace Church in Kasarani (Nairobi Province) and three for the Amazing Grace Church in Kitengela (Eastern Province). We will be opening six more Amazing Grace Churches, in Ongata Rongai, Nakuru, Naivasha (Rift Valley Province), Muranga Town, Wangige and Juja (Central Province), before the end of the year. The Pastors to be commissioned for these Centers are on training and will be ready to open the Amazing Grace International Churches in Kenya by October 2010. Please pray with us and support this glorious work.

Finish laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and give it to, the…… fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled.” (Deut. 26:12) |
