They loved it so much Pastor Jim invited us to lead the November 29th service as well. The Sengas were also featured singing Angels We Have Heard on Liberty University Coffeehouse, a talent spotlight they do each semester.</div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Currently we are all piled in the car headed to Wilmington,NC. This is a Divine Connection. A Pastor we have yet to meet in person and know only through common missionary friends, invited us down to join them for their night of Christmas Worship on the beach. They have generously offered to put us up in a hotel tonight so we can continue on to Winston Salem before dawn tomorrow! Our God provides abundantly as we walk in His purposes!</div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For the month of December our family is reading through the book of Luke. Today’s reading in Luke 5 entailed the recount of Jesus telling the fishermen to launch out into the deep after catching nothing all night. This was such a poignant encouragement to us as we start a tour when the ministry has been financially dry and with the global pandemic encouraging shutdown the turnout is uncertain. God is leading us into deeper waters and He never fails His people.</div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Into the deep,</div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mama Deborah</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807232760223121411.post-6911512237980084662020-12-01T06:34:00.001-05:002020-12-01T06:34:38.804-05:00Giving Tuesday<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dear friends and partners.<o:p></o:p></p>

I pray that this album encourages others to live out their lives fully for Jesus. Colossians 3:23 says,"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." This verse was an inspiration to this album and has been a really crucial verse in my life. It has encouraged me to do everything for God and His kingdom.<br />
Please make sure you pre-order this album and join me in encouraging others to live out their lives for Jesus!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807232760223121411.post-70568666041043509272019-04-04T15:16:00.003-04:002019-04-04T15:16:40.340-04:0010 Y By Michelle Senga<br />

Wow I can't believe it! We just passed our 10 year anniversary as a ministry. 10 years ago I was 5 years old and so pumped to go to Congo. It was my first airplane ride, and I loved the experience. Living life on the mission field has taught me so much! How to be flexible, lead worship, be friendly, care for others, and put God first. But a big theme looking back now is trust. It has taught me to put my trust in God! No matter what I might be going through, or how big my problem might seem I've learned to trust God!<br />God I'm trusting you stepping in to this new year of ministry!!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Dear friends and partners in
the ministry,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">One more year is about to
end, a great opportunity for us to stop and reflect on what the Lord has
allowed us to do and plan for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">This year is probably the
year with the least communication with you.
In 2013 we started the school, Kinshasa Christian School, which in the
beginning of 2014 started running the risk of closing up for lack of
financing. At that point, we entered
into a frenzy, multiplying activities at the school to get the school to survive. Our school day started at 7am to end at 7pm
every single day. Our week end were
centered on the ministry, and on vacations and breaks, we would organize
English camps, or Vacation Bible School.
We used one break this year to go visit the church in the province of
Bandundu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We were pleased to see a
strong growing church. They are harvesting
along with what we have sown spiritually, peanuts, and corn. We have supplied farming tools and seeds so
that they can plant crops for the needs of the church and its members. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We were constantly running to
get things done and we are happy to report that as the year is getting to an
end, the overview is very positive:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The local church in
Macampagne after a long moment of downward trend in participation and attendence
is experiencing a renewed growth again, while the other churches continue to
grow and to be healthy despite the many challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The school which
had 9 students for most of the year last year is today at 40 students and by
January could reach 50 students. We have
had some negative experiences with the school we were buying, the deal fell
through so we are back to the original school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We were able to
build up a great team of leaders and administrators that very effectively manage
the school and the church so that we can take a very needed time away from
everything to regroup, and refocus. My
family and I are currently on vacation in South Africa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">As always all this could not
have been possible without your support.
We thank you for your support and your prayers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Allow me to ask, as we get to
the end of this year a bit more. This
year has been the leanest as far as financial contribution, we received on a
average 250 USD a month a tenth of the family monthly budget. Would you consider giving a little more? The ministry is going forward, the gospel is
being preached, lives are being changed, the poor is being ministered to, the
next generations are being trained...please continue partnering with us,
together we will achieve more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We want to express our appreciation
for all you have done to help advance the Kingdom of God through our ministry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We wish you and your family a
merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, may the Almighty God continually remember
your generosity and your love for Him and His work in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Jean and Deborah<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear partners, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another year comes to an end, and our hearts are filled with
thanksgiving and we are truly grateful for all that you have done to advance
the Kingdom of God through our ministry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your giving this past year has allowed us to build a new
shelter for our church in Kintambo (neighborhood in Kinshasa), build bathrooms,
and plant a church in the province of Bandundu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I need to put all of this in perspective so that you can see what all of
this really means.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For about a year, we were able to get over one hundred
people under that shelter for worship services, sheltered from the sun and
light rains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This resulted in many souls
being saved, people being taught and encouraged to live lives that honor
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some people that we are reaching
are staying away from church because of inadequate bathrooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The improvement we did in our sanitary
installations allowed us to have something a little bit more adequate so that
some felt more comfortable to come out and worship with us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And finally the church in Kikwit 3, a village in the
Bandundu province is a real success.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Week after week we receive great reports on the work that is being done
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Material challenges are greater,
but the joy and simplicity with which the people receive the good news is such
an encouragement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since our presence in
that village, we have had over 200 souls saved, an average of 80 people come
weekly to worship there. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>YES, you our
partners, help us doing that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are so thankful.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have new challenges for the New Year, and we need your
help, continue to partner with us, so that together we can work on advancing
the Kingdom of God. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Him,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

part II, by DeborahShortly after making this decision to praise God intentionally at every opportunity, my husband and I left home today to assist in a prayer rally organized by FGBMFI at the Grand Hotel in Kinshasa. It was a wonderful evening filled with plenty of praise, worship, spontaneous dancing, and testimonies. One young girl shared how she and her mother went from the final stages of battling AIDS to complete healing and restored health! God is a healer. There is nothing too hard for Him! Right? So how can I leave an event charged with fresh reminders of God's omnipotence and get discouraged as we return to our car and see the gas tank once again dangerously close to E? Even as Jehovah Jireh echoes fresh in my ears? Well, today I was determined not to live 'as usual'.<br />Before returning to our SUV to drive home we made a stop at the Hotel's restroom. As I proceeded inside I met a very unwelcome sight. A lady about my age dressed in only a white blouse that barely grazed her thighs, applying heavy makeup at the mirror. I was repulsed at her indecency and angered by her sinful lifestyle. As I entered an empty stall to take advantage of the facilities, God spoke to me that He wanted me to share about God's love to this lady. I wrestled with God for a minute thinking of excuses (language barrier, evil spirits, etc...) until I caught myself starting to sound like Jonah. I realized this was a basic question of obedience. God said 'go', would I dare say 'no'? I remembered that at least until Monday I had committed to praising God. Wasn't sharing about His love a way to bring Him the highest praise, exponential praise???<br />So, I repented from my critical, self-righteous spirit and asked God to teach me. Teach me to see her like He does. Teach me to reach through the sinful imperfections and truly love, AGAPE. Then I stepped out. Trembling. Doing things out of the ordinary feels like walkin' on water, you can only do it as you keep your eyes on Christ. I went to her and in very quaky french asked if we could talk a minute. Then I poured my heart out to this lady. This stranger. This woman created by God. I told her about God's love. That it wasn't an accident that we met. About my niece and how God's heart ached for her to come home and how God feels the same for her. He is aching for her to come home to Him, to His purposes for her life. I asked if we could pray and she consented blinking back tears as we joined hands. I prayed in English and a little broken French, but I believe Jesus Himself was there praying with us in that hotel bathroom. I gave her our church card and my number to keep in touch, but I do not know where she is right now. I do know that neither one of us left there the same woman. Continuing in praise........Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807232760223121411.post-1250999413393010682012-07-14T19:31:00.003-04:002012-07-14T19:56:48.945-04:00No more Christianity 'as usual' by Deborah<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span>I just can't stop praising our God from whom all of life's blessings flow! Some of you have followed on Facebook about the tragedy of my niece turned to triumph. From Wednesday July 12th to Friday July 14th we were all crying out to God on her behalf, the MD state police and investigators were on the case without any leads. It looked hopeless, but GOD! One of my dear intercessor friends declared that a word of knowledge would come forth that would lead Morgan to be found. Friday night in prayer my husband announced that she would come home within a few hours. Praise God, that is exactly what happened! Why do we get surprised when we see God perform His Word?<br />I learned of her return upon awakening Saturday morning and immediately wanted to give thanks to God so I could continue my day. Isn't that what we do, we pay our dues when God answers our prayers by giving Him a thanks and move on? He woke me up in the Spirit as I was praying to Him. "You just spent two days barely eating or sleeping, crying to Me, and telling everyone you could about your request. I have answered your cry. Are you going to do any less to thank me?" This just shook my comfortable Christianity. It rocked my little world. So I decided right then and there to spend at least until Monday morning making a concerted effort to speak praise and thanks to God at EVERY opportunity. Since that time I haven't been the same...... <br

href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h8rTulce0dI/T4w20uf_7wI/AAAAAAAAA8c/rhbWRcjbmFY/s1600/IMG00270.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height:

out to go to a village in Bas-Congo to show the movie "The Passion of the Christ". Every year we have shown the movie to hundreds of people and we have seen many giving their lives to Jesus as we have an altar call at the end of the movie.<br />This year we decided to go to a village in Bas-Congo, where there is no electricity, no opportunity for them to see any kind of film. The location and name of the village we did not know. We just chose to go in a specific region, find a village of descent size, stop and show the movie. Ten of us, in two vehicles loaded with all the equipment needed, left Kinshasa for Bas-Congo under a very hot sun.<br />At our arrival in the village we found, we started noticing a change in the weather. Yes not long after, the rain started...we could not show the movie! Willy one of the faithful ministers of our church with one of the local young men set up the screen in case the rain would stop. While we were setting up, a group of 3 ministers of the church went to neighboring villages to tell people about the movie. When they came back they were all wet, we got in the vehicles for shelter and waited, and waited...When I realized that it seems that we will not have the chance to show the film, I decided to set up the sound system in the back of one vehicle, sing songs and then preach the gospel giving a chance at the end for those who want to receive Jesus to do so from their home. The sound system could be heard in 2 other neighboring villages.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HWOBe9Rfeh0/T4nPvs6BC1I/AAAAAAAAA6w/9BVq2ISrnEo/s1600/IMG00238.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HWOBe9Rfeh0/T4nPvs6BC1I/AAAAAAAAA6w/9BVq2ISrnEo/s320/IMG00238.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731340419220966226" border="0" /></a><br />I decided after a moment of singing to go out in the rain (light rain) to praise and worship God. I was followed by my faithful wife, and later by some of the ministers we came out with, and finally the whole service was held as people came out to sing with us, the gospel was preached by pastor Charlie who came with us, we prayed over people and God was glorified. It was truly a glorious night.<br />Tired after this wonderful time, we realized we did not set up our tent, worst we did not know how to do it. It was the first time for me to camp out, especially to have to set up camp. With the help of our three kids, we were able to set up the tent.<br />In the morning after the morning public prayer, we received people coming from the other villages who heard the message the night before and wanted also to come for prayer. I preached that morning before going to baptized people in the nearby river.<br />Remember the young man that helped Willy set up the screen? His name is Simon, he was so hungry for God that he was always there. He received Jesus, got baptized and will come to our church in Kinshasa next Sunday. Simon will help us leading a cell group in that village. He will come to the church in Kinshasa for training and will help us with any future projects we might have in that village.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bB_J5oyps20/T4w1dR2RYLI/AAAAAAAAA74/I1EEZpjlpT4/s1600/IMG00239.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bB_J5oyps20/T4w1dR2RYLI/AAAAAAAAA74/I1EEZpjlpT4/s320/IMG00239.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732015202859311282" border="0" /></a><br />We have decided to help the locals with their crops. As we pray with them, we want also to help provide seeds, and if possible some kind of technical support.<br />When we arrived in the village, we parked across a structure made with palm branches that serves as a 'church'. When we asked for the pastor, we were told that he was traveling. We asked for those who work with him, they too were not available. We learned later that night that the 'church' was for the god of the blacks, a local religion centered on traditional beliefs rejecting Christianity saying it is the religion of white people. We have heard of these people becoming violent toward Christians. We could see the oppression of this religion over the people. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3kQyIbOKEi4/T4nS7Z18BEI/AAAAAAAAA7g/sXpbXx07YFE/s1600/IMG00237.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3kQyIbOKEi4/T4nS7Z18BEI/AAAAAAAAA7g/sXpbXx07YFE/s320/IMG00237.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731343918796899394" border="0" /></a>They heard the gospel, but preferred to stay home or far off because they did not want to be seen. We saw people who wanted to be baptized but did not come forward. One of the person who got baptized did not say a thing to anyone. She just came along with us. When she felt that it was her turn, she just stepped forward to be baptized.<br />In the morning we had the visit of one of the leaders of the 'church' of the god of blacks. He was not happy, he advised us to contact them in the future for any activity we would like to do in that village. We also had the visit of members of the family of the chief of, Kikeba, the village, the traditional authority in the village. They were happy to see us, but they also advised us to have their approval before doing anything.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3v_Umympqk/T4nQ2jWldEI/AAAAAAAAA68/kA4bP0TFBFs/s1600/IMG00264.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3v_Umympqk/T4nQ2jWldEI/AAAAAAAAA68/kA4bP0TFBFs/s320/IMG00264.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731341636427150402" border="0" /></a><br />Thank God for Simon, he is the person that will make sure that all this is taken care of in the future.<br />We came back to Kinshasa as planned, came from the fresh air of the country, to the pollution and a special 40 minutes reality check stuck in traffic. It has been a glorious weekend. No movie, but the gospel! The movie will be for another time in Kikeba.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807232760223121411.post-13508607436945038162012-04-08T11:29:00.003-04:002012-04-08T11:37:41.412-04:00Remembering the cross!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n0S-prtOm_M/T4Gwlhy8dFI/AAAAAAAAA5w/KcW_BC9Ox-g/s1600/IMG00225.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n0S-prtOm_M/T4Gwlhy8dFI/AAAAAAAAA5w/KcW_BC9Ox-g/s320/IMG00225.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729054359765677138" /></a><br />Friday April 6th, 2012 found us marching through the streets of Kinshasa, bringing people to the cross of Jesus. After parading in the neighborhood of the church with one of our young ministers dressed as Jesus and carrying a cross, people followed us back to the church where we projected the film "Passion of the Christ" for all to be reminded of the horrific suffering which our Savior endured for our sake. At the end of the film over 150 had been impacted and 7 came forward to surrender their lives to the Lord. Now that's a 'good' Friday!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807232760223121411.post-82715189574121278902012-04-02T08:52:00.000-04:002012-04-04T03:50:07.611-04:00Ministry Anniversary<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NeU4nYamIyg/T3uVk128E2I/AAAAAAAAA5k/uiuKantVRdI/s1600/church%2Bphase%2B6.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 85px; height: 128px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NeU4nYamIyg/T3uVk128E2I/AAAAAAAAA5k/uiuKantVRdI/s320/church%2Bphase%2B6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727335811297055586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-axDafxxX6Gg/T3uVVupoozI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/1e2LScMWgz4/s1600/church%2Bphase%2B1.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 128px; height: 96px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-axDafxxX6Gg/T3uVVupoozI/AAAAAAAAA5Y/1e2LScMWgz4/s320/church%2Bphase%2B1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727335551664169778" /></a><br />Just a little toddler 3 years old.
