The nature of this ministry allows me to be in contact with people from all over the world. I have found that the truths of God's Word can speak into all different cultures and all different situations. This has allowed us to effectively minister to people in a surprisingly large number of countries. However, and this was a difficult lesson to learn, effective direct assistance cannot be accomplished outside of an ongoing relationship. Suffice it to say that the complications are greater than we can imagine. Therefore, I am currently working with three individuals, whom I now call friends, who have demonstrated a multi-year consistent relationship with Christ and commitment to ministry. The first two were highlighted in Parts 2 and 3 of this series at:

In this message I want to introduce you to pastor Thomas who ministers in one of the many impoverished areas of Nairobi. I have worked with pastor Thomas for the last six years and have been inspired by his steadfast faith through many difficult situations. This summer, pastor Thomas was ministering in a church and school which was in great need of repair. In fact, the building had been condemned and was to soon be torn down.
For a relatively small amount of money we were able to help pastor Thomas construct a new facility which allowed the ministry to continue.
I truly appreciate my friendship with pastor Thomas and I pray we are able to work with him on more projects in the future.
