The missionaries are coming but are you ready for the MISSION?
Maseno is all up and raring to go getting prepared for the upcoming Mission conference on the 9th July – 16th July. The team led by Fr Elisha, Fr Jacob and Father Bishoy of Maseno, Fr Thomas of Kisumu and Fr Timothy of Alego are working extremely hard to make sure that everything is in place.
Everything from the accommodation, the daily schedules, the workshops and the various services/outreach are being organised. But the main thing this conference and the time leading up to it needs is, the power of all your prayers.
Joyful Days in Africa
On sunday the 6th June as we celebrated the Joyous Feast of Pentecost when the church began by the power of the Holy Spirit and by that same mighty Spirit, we in Africa have been blessed with new growth to the mission field. We welcome Fr Mina to St Marks Church Nairobi Kenya, Fr Steven to St Moses the Black Church in Zambia and Fr Anthony, St Anthony Church Lubumbashi, Congo.

Surprise of the Mission…!
“Look among the nations and watch – be utterly astounded!
for I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.” Habbakuk 1:5
Stay tuned and keep on praying for God is keeping for you great surprises
for your life this summer.
Remember that difficulties, problems and hardships around you will never end or change. We are told that as Christians we will face many tribulations in this world. The lion will continue to roar and shout fearfully and loudly, yet you should be confident that you will be victorious over him, since you are already in Christ more than a conqueror in the battle.
Is It A Waste?
“A woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly, fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant saying “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given the to poor”
Matt 26: 7-9
What is the meaning of the word “Waste?” Did the woman do what was right or were the disciples correct?
Complete Victory
“Put on the full armor of God…” Ephesians 6:11
In this holy season of Great Lent we need to stand strong against the devil with all his temptations and wars against us. In order to do this, we must understand how we can be victorious over him.
Are You Praying For Victory?
“In all these we are more than conquerors in Jesus who loved us” Rom 8:37
According to the early fathers we are more than conquerors in Jesus. Therefore, does praying for victory mean we are in a position of defeat, as if we have thrown away our steadfast position of victory? Should we stop praying for victory when we are down or weak? Surely, the answer is no, but instead our prayers should be mixed with praises and thanksgiving for the gift of victory that Jesus has given us.
Love in the Upper Room
“Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke” John 13: 23-24
This is the first of two times it is mentioned that John was the disciple Jesus loved. It was during this scene that Jesus reminds us of His steadfast love for His own. There are three personalities we can examine during this time. St John was present to enjoy the love of Christ by leaning over His heart and recognizing how much Jesus loved him.
When a church is in need…God answers
The Coptic Mission took the opportunity to answer God’s call and serve our Coptic brothers and sisters in Tala. Harvesting season this year yielded the worst crop the locals have seen in years. The drought has left many families from our 4 thriving churches in Tala without food.
