Now Behold the Lamb

"He who knew no sin became sin that we might become the righteousness of God."

These kids understand that. This precious lamb was slain that we may have life and not death. Over the past couple months, I've been given the amazing opportunity to work with these kids and God has shown me so much not only through this drama and the powerful words but also through the child-like faith of these kids.

At first they were a little uncomfortable and not so sure about the whole idea, but once we got in there and they started learning the song, God began to do a work their shyness turned to boldness. In Joel, it says "in those last days I will pour out my spirit on all flesh, your sons and daughters will prophecy, your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams." This is the day we are living in. The spirit of God is being poured out to the young, to those who are passionately abandoned. To the sons and daughters of God,, to the young and to the old. They are going to be the ones who rise up and change a nation, they are going to be the ones to rise up and with the power of Christ in them, break off religiosity and raise people from the dead. This generation is going to lay hands on the sick and they will be healed, they will walk through the streets and the light will shine so bright through them, they will overtake the darkness that surrounds. This generation is our future.

As you watch this, remember what Christ has done, He took on the sin of the world that we could have not only life but an abundant life. Allow Him to speak to your heart through the worship of these amazing Children of God.

Here I go Again


Talking about the rain,
and mulling over things that wont live past today.

Its been quite some time since I've been into this whole blogging thing but I think I'm going to get back into it just because.

So the picture above is down in the Uwgeno Valley. A small village in Tanzania and near Mt. Kilimanjaro. There is a centre of excellence being built there named Nyota Star Christian Centre. I have been communicating with the lady who started this for about 4 years now and God has done so much there. Since the first days of talking with her until this very day, this village has been my hearts cry. The children, of which I've only seen pictures, have captured my heart, the land is etched within my memory, every time I get alone with God, He never fails to remind me of these precious people in the Uwgeno valley.
Many things are going on, there is a local church that was finished in 2006, there is a nursery school with about 50 children enrolled, they have been given bikes along with a repair shop, they have a corn processor and in the past few years since Christ has been brought to this people, their land has begun to flourish, the rains have returned and life is flowing where there used to be death.
There are many plans and projects going on two of which are to eventually get a higher level of school and eventually a hospital up and running employing the adults as well as giving hope of a future to the young ones coming up.
Many years ago (before college that is), a dream was planted in my heart to become a doctor and become a missionary. Right now I'm not so sure about the doctor part, but I am pursuing a degree in Biology which could lead into the medical field (if my grades are good enough).
Enough of my rambling, Just sharing my heart... oh yea Here is a link to the webpage, Check it out and keep this centre in your hearts and prayers. God is doing a mighty work and if you are able, I urge you to donate to this cause as well. http://www.nyotastar.com/projects.htm
