…for the good of those that love God and are called according to His purpose.”  Rom 8:28.

The good news links are above my signature info at the bottom.

Rom 8:28 is nearly always in my mind. Even when I feel depressed, because I’ve had no reason to leave my nearly solitary home (my secretary has her own life, not around me, though she lives here) I still know that creation is working for my good and the good of God’s kingdom in and through my life.  Read more...

I said, My news written for my African friends. Najifunza Swahili.  I try.
Also Two pictures of my family at Christmas.   Furahi Mwaka Mpya!

I’ve been thinking (niliwaza nini) what is most helpful to you Africa friends.  Read more... (1350 words, estimated 5:24 mins reading time)

The links are at the top are from CBNnews.com (Christian perspective world news) & Townhall.com

The first is a great video clip about an African American teenager who was adopted by Christian white family in Georgia. (Click here)

The second shows the fallacy & planned results of the global-warming treaties ending with this statement:  Since then, 4,000 scientists and 72 Nobel Prize winners have signed on. (Stating the falsity of it) Again, it needs be said: Global warming is cyclical, and has been stagnant for a decade. There is no conclusive proof it is manmade, no conclusive proof it is harmful to the planet. (Click here to read it all)  Read more... (1462 words, estimated 5:51 mins reading time)

From Haggai in Bukavu, DRCongo:

I bolded remarks, I’ll comment on after.

Hi brother Greg,
You seem to be very busy these days.
The Lord has given me the opportunity to share about House Church work
with a fellow traditional pastor, who lives at around 1.5 miles away
from my place. and he appreciated the idea, so we’re planning to start
a church in his house on Dec.17. The whole congregation will go there
to set up the church. The new friend is called Joel Munene.
So, I’m thinking of buying some food that we’ll share that day. Pray
for me to get enough means and for this step. I’ll have some photos
taken and send you the scanned ones.
Much Love,
Haggai K.  Read more... (1719 words, estimated 6:53 mins reading time)

Notes:

1. Provi’s headaches have stopped! (When she was sent to the hospital with a bad case of Malaria) but still needs to come back to normal strength.  We can give thanks for this today!

2. I’m looking for a compact import car in good major mechanical condition for under $1,500.

Encouraging words:

I am surprised at the places and people who give encouraging wisdom. Because of my unhappy circumstance of living and working mostly alone I often watch a down-loaded movie while I eat supper alone, because I can’t read much or type while I eat. Besides, it’s good to relax after a hard days work. But I look for wisdom in the most unlikely places, like Lord of the Rings”, “Fellowship of the Ring”.  Read more...

I woke up thinking about this on Sunday morning, in my USA home:

1.     Why is it that in the land, where we can afford to make phone calls, that I get more calls from Africa from one friend (David, my Tanzania partner) than I get from all my friends combined in the USA? (I do have many good friends that return my calls, after I call them!)

2.     Why is it that when I visit a church and see people I know and I share that I have little fellowship in this country that none of them ever call me to invite me back or stay in touch with me, even though they are very interested and supportive of the things I share with them?  Read more...

Note:  My wife’s new email that she can check in her phone (cause I set it up as I left) is provigreg@yahoo.com. She will be very happy to get emails from my friends and American brethren in general.  Many of you are listed to call her Chicago number that rings to her phone for low cost, too.

I was encouraged by this letter from my Bukavu host/leader. My replies are in it in bold.

If you got this before, ignore it, but it was rejected for a video that was too large, by most servers, so I took it off, but I am preparing to teach a 2-day seminar next weekend for our new partner who is a 14 boat ride from across the border.

From the nationally respected Anny who came to visit & pray for Provi before our overnight fasting & prayer interpreted by Provi:

To Greg:

Satan is opposed to you about money.  Two doors of provision have been closed, but God will open three.  If you are patient and wait, He will bless you with much wealth, because He knows you & knows you will use it for him.  He will bless all of your children financially too and they will all give provision to you, because He will give you a good relationship with them.  So don’t forget to pray for your children.  Read more...
