This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
1 John 3:16

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled

Matthew 5:6

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 46:10

If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

James 1:5

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Psalm 91:1-4

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. Psalm 25:9

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:10-12

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Isaiah 42:16

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore.

Psalm 125:2

I want you to know God's words and call to me(Larry Lynch) regarding this mission to Africa.

In August 2005, in the mountains of North Georgia, on vacation, God woke me at 2:30 AM with these 4 words, "Not here, but Africa". I understood His message immediately as instruction to me to help orphans in Africa. I puzzled at this since I had never had any inclination to go to Africa, and I couldn't imagine how helping orphans in such a far away place could be accomplished. After some months, God brought Brother Francis Bushebi and his son Dalmas into my home during a visit to this country. (They are from Bungoma, Kenya.) We prayed, discussed, and I listened to the needs in his "valley". God showed us that the best way I (and any others who joined in) could help was with regular donations of $1/day ($30/month) to Brother Bushebi's ministry, Gospel Believer's Fellowship. They, in turn, could provide food, clothing and educational expenses to the many orphans in his community who were known to his association of churches. An organization was formed in our area called Kenya Care Partners to allow those who felt led to give to help these children. Four years have passed and Kenya Care now supports 33 orphans in that land. Praise God for His marvelous works! Thank all of you have been so faithful to this ministry!

Last fall, our church was planning to gather a group to go on tour of the Holy Land. I have always wanted to make this trip. But as I considered the trip, God spoke a different message to me, "Don't go where I was, go where I am today." I immediately understood that this was an instruction to go, not to Israel (where He had been in His earthly ministry), but to Kenya, Africa (where He was working today in the lives of these orphans and the churches who care for them). God also showed me I would not go alone. Since Al Stoner was my original contact to Bushebi and Kenya, and since he had visited there, I asked him many things about Bungoma and travel there. We also prayed over my instructions to go there. Through prayer, God showed Al that he should join me in revisiting Africa. From this formation, our mission was set.

One further promise to me came from the Father. As I thought about the cost of the trip my human reasoning said the money for the trip might be better used by the people in Africa rather
than me going there in person. Jesus gave me this word "I will meet you there" (in Africa).

So, at His instruction, and with His assurance, with joy and expectation, Al and I are going there to meet the Lord in whatever way He chooses.

Your prayers are already heard by the Father.

Thank you and God bless each of you.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. Psalm 24:1-2

When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."

Psalm 126:1-2

if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:10-11

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. ……They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

Psalm 84: 5,7

....since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 4:1-2
