State of the Church

We are apt to believe the hype. Churches are being planted at unprecedented rates. Nations culturally “closed” to the gospel are now bursting with new believers. Revival is breaking out amongst the younger generations. Rock stars and “Influencers” are turning to Christ. Technology, the internet and digital age have magically multiplied our evangelistic efforts and […]

Obscure Obedience

We are now well into our 21st year of the Ministry. You might imagine that the Ministry runs like a well-oiled ministering machine, with well-set parameters and plans to implement our specific Calling. And for a large part, it does. Or at least it did. Until Covid. Now more than ever, it’s “let’s-see-what-obstacles-we-wake-up-to-this-morning” mode. Ever […]

The Mzee Generation

“A young man in an old man’s body.” That’s how the Bible School students describe Pastor Reuwel Gathinji. If ever the “spirit of Caleb” was in man, then Pastor Reuwel has it. Caleb conquered the Giants in the Promised Land with vigor and valor well past the age of 85 (see Josh 14 & 15). […]

A Year of Making Disciples

Amidst The Squalor

We like things neat, orderly and clean. It’s part of our culture for sure. Right angles, symmetrical shapes, complementary colors. Christmas in our culture mirrors this preference. Decorations are carefully coordinated in placement, tone and texture. There is nothing innately wrong with this. As long as our heart is rightly motivated. But truth be told, […]

Evidence

Every court case involves Evidence. The case “for” or “against” rests upon confessions, forensics and observations. Our Eternal Destiny is determined in a Court as well. There is a Judge. Which means there must be a “Case.” Our “Case” will be adjudicated based upon the Evidence. Jesus used Physical examples to explain this Spiritual Truth. […]

Church Planting Precepts

As much as we advocate Church Planting ministries, we might be mindful that Jesus never had one. He didn’t come to establish some sort of multi-level marketing scheme, franchising network or satellite campus initiative. Nothing of the sort. The business world does such things. We dare not mimic Wall Street business models for “Church Growth”: […]

Profile In Perseverance

The Bible School Ministry is focused on a particular part of the body of Christ: Pastors and Ministry Leaders who live and serve in the urban slums. The entry requirements are simple: 1) you must be in Spiritual Leadership of some sort, and, 2) you must be serious and diligent. Otherwise, we have no other […]

Entrusted With The Gospel

One of the greatest Joys of being on the mission field is directly “seeing” and “hearing” the effect of God’s Word on the hearts and minds of the people. In the past two Semesters, we have studied, verse by verse, the books of 1st Samuel, Ezekiel, Revelation, 2nd Corinthians, Peter, and our one topical course […]

Raising Elisha

Of all the races, performances and competitions in the Olympics, none are more captivating than the relay races. There is something unique and exhilarating in the “Passing of the Baton.” That critical moment of Release by the current racer, and instantaneous Grasp by the next. The explosion of the new racer catapults the crowd into […]
