Small thoughts
I was reading Mark 3:9 this morning. About Jesus almost being pushed into the sea because of the crowd. It reminded me that spiritually the same thing can happen of easy in both the institutional church as in housechurches: The line between willing to be as close as possible to Him and pushing Him out is very thin. We can push Him out by our efforts to stand on the first row, we can push Him out by just looking to be blessed by Him in stead of coming close so that we can hear what He says.

Isaac & Emily Mukweyi said… - Dear Alex
Thank you so much for your lovely email.We can feel your sweet spirit and lovely heart that you have. Its good to hear from brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.
We dwell in house churches network here in Webuye Kenya. Its our prayer that Father may bring you here one day so that we can have some time to share with one another together not only I and you but with my other brothers and sisters in the body of Christ here and also I with other brothers and sisters over there.
Our ministry is to dwell together in loneliness and to encourage one another in homes, caves or our place of work and also to help and visit the widows, orphans and poor families to have the hope of Christ and to believe and trust in him.
Relationship is important in our lives and through relationship we share heart to one another and we feel the burden to each other.
We love you and we pray for you for all our brothers and sisters over there. May the lord God bless you so much.
In his love,
Issac & Emily.

- Dear beloved Brothers Alex,
Thank you so much for the nice email. It is always wonderful to here from my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I can feel your sweet spirit and I thank God for you. You seem like such a meek and caring man. I know our Father has put His love in your heart. It comes through in your communications.
I would love you to come and hve fellowship together not only me but with my other brothers and sisters some time and share God's love. but I know God will make a way if it is meant to be. When God will enable you, surely there will come a time when we can get together for fellowship and ministry. Please pray that God will work it all out.
God is so wonderful! We have seen him bless so many in so many ways. He is opening people's eyes to the truth concerning His "Good News". Religious walls are coming down. People are being set free. We've seen miracles and healings. We have seen God heal cancers and brain tumors. We have seen families restored and friendships reconciled.
I was reminded earlier today of my friend Rose who had a large brain tumor. We prayed for her and when she returned to the doctors, the tumor had vanished. Just a couple of weeks ago my brother and his wife joined us to go to Kampala Uganda. They have had some financial problems and I know he is too proud to accept money from me. As we approached the border of Kenya - Uganda, my wife quietly asked the Father if there was some way we could help them so the cost of admission would not burden them. As we approached the ticket counter, a lady came up to my brother and his wife and handed them two tickets for free. We say that God sent an angel just as she prayed.
Brother, my grandmother passed away a few months ago at age 93. When she was 90 she had a series of strokes - she fell from her bed and hit her head - she had two blood-clots on her brain. The doctors said she would die and called the family in. I went to the hospital and prayed for her. Within ten minutes she was sitting up in a chair. The doctors were amazed. Within a few days she went home. Within several weeks she began teaching an exercise class for other elderly people. Before she died, she wrote out her funeral sermon by hand and it was read to all at her funeral. She told of her love for God and hoped she had set an example for others to follow as she had tried to follow his example. She loved Christ and others as well.
The world is so full of hate and hurt. There are so many needs and the sad part is that so many seem not to care. I do not want fame or wealth. I just want to show unconditional love, forgiveness, and acceptance to all people; especially those of the household of faith and including the ones others can't seem to love. I've enjoyed ministering in jails and prisons where so many are starving for genuine love and acceptance. This is the ministry of reconciliation that God has entrusted us with. To God be all the glory forever.
I thank God for you and your family. I know that God is using you to bless many. I'm sure there are some who are blessed and you do not even realize it. We are praying for you and your family. We are also praying for peace and love for you and other brothers who share together God's love. We know you are playing a big part in ending it. You are a son of God and the spirit of the "Prince of Peace" abides with you. Yes, one day they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks and THEY SHALL LEARN WAR - NO MORE!!!!!! Our hearts and spirits are with you and your people.
Am not involving in any chuirch organisation but i am part of house or home churches network here in Kenya and i live in a small town called Webuye. God bless you and please keep in touch.
I love you. May our wonderful Father bless you greatly today and always in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us stay in touch.
Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, and Peace,
The house church network in Kenya East Africa

- Hello Alex,
thank you for coming to Viersen. You helped us to see the bigger picture here in Europe and that God is bringing things together for his simple churches. I hope that out of our meeting will come plenty of fruit for the next time. We have mucht to give for one another and for our countries.
This morning I talked with Günther (Joseph) on Telefon - since a few days he is also a member in the simple church Europe group. He ws very exitetd to hear about you and your work, because he is trying hard to evangelise alone in Berlin. He asked me to inform you about him. Please be so kind an send him a sign.
Blessings
