Onward Christian Soldier

In the February and March 2017 newsletters, we presented an overview of the life and calling of Pastor Habel. It is a remarkable testimony by any measure. As a young man, he was recruited in the ranks of a radical political underground, resulting in his forced exile from Kenya. Miraculously spared death or long term […]

Onto Perfection

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 three Semesters, we have studied, verse by verse, the books of Jeremiah, Obadiah, Haggai, Malachi, Psalms, Joel, Amos, 1st Kings, Jonah, Ephesians, Jude, […]

The Witness of Work

The vast majority of our Pastors and Ministry Leaders are what we call “working Pastors.” They work full time secular jobs to support their families, and their ministries. Full time work in Kenya is typically 5½ days per week. To come to the Bible School, they sacrifice a full or half day of work’s pay. […]

A Good Testimony

Disciple Support Ministries Bible Institute. The descriptive title of “Bible Institute” rather than “Bible College” is purposeful. We emphasize the Bible, above all the other needful and necessary topics that one should learn as a Pastor or Ministry Leader. This does not make us better than other teaching ministries, but rather allows us to focus […]

Perfect Work

The Consequences of Obedience can be severe this side of eternity. Not only on us, but also upon innocent others. When we see them effected, we are most tempted to Compromise. How do you explain to your children why they are not eating tonight? How long do you endure before the marriage troubles become intolerable?At […]

AWOL

Most Christians would agree that the breakdown of the Family is a fundamental flaw in society. It really doesn’t require any substantiation at this point. Even secular counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, psy-whatevers are keen to the disastrous effects in society. Equally obvious: the world has neither the answers nor the slightest interest in changing course. Living […]

Disarming Demons

Pastor Jackson is a mild mannered and quiet man. But certainly not unengaged nor antisocial. Introverted people are, in many cases, more sensitive, perceptive and “deep” than extroverts. Jackson gave a bold testimony of the impact of being discipled through the Word of God at DSM Bible Institute. In some ways, it was typical of […]

Purpose Driven Poverty

By any and every measure, I have not experienced poverty. Financial difficulties, yes. Poverty, certainly not. In fact, my definition of poverty has gone through several re-definitions. Living in the urban slums of North Philadelphia during my college years, I thought the surrounding “projects” amounted to abject poverty. I now know they would be considered […]

The Story of His Coming

     It’s a beautiful time of the year. We celebrate the Coming of Jesus. God Incarnate. The Child borne of the flesh, yet never losing His God-ness. A Kinsman Redeemer…to rescue fallen mankind from sin, death and Satan. There is no God like Jehovah. And there is no Man like Jesus Christ. They are One […]

Growing God’s Way

     Everyone wants results. It is basic human nature to expect good outcomes from hard effort. To experience otherwise is utterly discouraging and disappointing. But good fruit takes not only effort, but Time. It is not simply a task of sowing, but also of continual watering, weeding and feeding. Taking short cuts may seem like […]
