We cannot lose

Some Inspiration from one of today's great Church Planters and healers in Africa, Rolland Baker

Blessings are falling around you, Grab hold of some using your faith - Bob Lipsys

We cannot lose. We will not be ashamed. We will see the salvation of the Lord spread through the most unstable, violent and out-of-control areas of Africa. Jesus knows how to glorify Himself and look out for His own reputation. We are unspeakably graced to participate in His work. And then we awake to new mercies and fresh motivation, never stepping away from Him and the life that flows from the vine into the branches. In newsletter after newsletter we have issued an invitation to join us in missions. We do that not out of desperation, but in faith and love. It is to your advantage to obey the Gospel, freely and with great joy, bearing tremendous fruit. May you hear His voice clearly and respond with His energy. ...... Much love in Jesus,

Rolland Baker

Made Right

God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (New International Version)

"This is arguably one of the most important verses in the Bible
... It tells us what God did - He sent his Son
... It tells us who Jesus is - He is sinless
....It tells us what Jesus did - He was made sin
... It tells us who we are - the righteousness of God
... It tells us where we are - in Him".
by John Hosier

The simple Gospel is that God has good intentions for you. He wants to take away from you all that separates you from Himself. He placed that stuff he calls sin on Jesus. Jesus could carry it for you and me because He had no sin of His of own. Jesus took your sin and he gave you His Righteousness. That is everything He is and has done which makes Him right with His Father…… Wow.

It is true. When a person puts their trust in Jesus they receive as their very own, the life of the only one who has ever lived totally for God. His love is poured into their lives. The Holy Spirit empowers them to live their life for God. They become God’s Child, fully part of His family. Jesus is in them, and they are in Him. They are made right with God
