As a child I can remember the feeling of helplessness. I wanted to help others but I didn't have the resources to help anyone. As I grow older I feel much more helpless, but the one thing that I can do is pray.

Murder in Kenya!
Nairobi — Police in Nairobi are holding two men suspected to have been involved in the murder of veteran Consolata missionary priest Fr Giuseppe Bertaina on January 16.
Brother Kenneth Wekesa of the Consolata Institute of Philosophy where Fr Bertaina was administrator confirmed to CISA that one of the suspects was arrested on Sunday and the second one on Monday.
Police are looking for two more suspects, he said. The woman who was arrested at the Consolata institute on the day of Fr Bertaina' death is still in police custody.
In Cuneo where the Italian missionary was born the local Catholic weekly dedicated its latest edition to the slain missionary, including a story on the testimony of his sister, Dominican nun Sister Carla Bertaina.
"When I learned of the news of the murder, it was very difficult to accept the manner in which my brother died. I can't imagine the violence of this act. Now with the help of God I am at peace because He gave him all of His help in that moment. He has thus crowned his life as a missionary, giving all of himself to his brothers and sisters," his sister said "Certainly Our Lady of Consolation, to whom he was especially devoted, protected him and comforted him. He wanted to be buried in the land he felt was his own: here, he said, is my family," Sister Carla explained.
Fr Bertaina was buried in Nyeri in central Kenya last Friday.
This story should make us get on our knees and pray for the Country of Kenya. It is not every day that you hear of people being murdered for their faith. There are Independent Baptist missionaries who may face the same opposition we need to pray.
Just like this man who was killed, anyone who does not put their faith and trust in Jesus will die and spend eternity in Hell. Are you ready? Is your family ready? Are you friends ready? Are your country-men ready?
We are so ready to be on the field and share the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. Will you pray that God will allow us to get to field at just the right time.
Any man that be in Christ he is a new creature, behold old things are passed away, behold all things are become new...

Revival with Bible Baptist
We had a great time of feasting on God's word last night at Bible Baptist Church in Statesboro, GA. Pastor John Edminstien of Charity Baptist Church in Florida preached a powerful message about the Seven Feast of Israel, and their relationship to the Life of Christ.
God showed up as the preacher was willing to step aside for one who is More Worthy. When it came invitation time the alters were filled with people who meant business with God.
As I walked in the door I was greeted with a warm smile and the gentleman said it is so good to have you tonight. As I said it is good to be here, He introduced Himself as the Pastor. Pastor
Max Alderman, was so gracious, he called his associate aside and asked him to write me a check.
What a blessing, this is what it means to go the second mile. Thank you Pastor and members of Bible Baptist Church, for taking care of one of God's many servants. If you are going to be in this area and are looking for a good church to attend Bible Baptist is a great candidate.

Grace Bible Baptist Church
We had a great service at Grace Bible Baptist. What a great congregation of believers. I am so thankful that I stopped in for Church.
Our New President
Nairobi — On the evening of January 20, Kenyans celebrated the inauguration of their new president. Barack Obama was actually being sworn in as the president of the United States, but you never would know it from the cheering that erupted in impromptu gatherings throughout the country, including at a gathering of 400 students, teachers, artists and journalists who watched the proceedings at the residence of the U.S. Embassy's public affairs officer.

Each one, Reach one
Sometimes we lose sight of just how easy it is to reach the world.
If this year you reached 5 people and trained them to reach 5 people each next year. And in turn those 25 reached 5 each.
Year1 1x5=5
Year 2 5x5=25
Year 3 25x5=125
Year 4 125x5= 625
Year 5 625x5= 3125
Year 6 3125x5= 15,625
Year 7 15,625x5= 78,125
Year 8 78,125x5= 390,625
Year 9 390,625x5= 1,953,125
Year 10 1,953,125x5= 9,765,625
Year 11 9,765,625x5= 48,828,125
Let us get busy for God.

Revival
Bro. Wade Biggs is preaching a revival for Flag Chapel Baptist Church in Jackson, MS. Bro. Biggs is pastor of Grace Baptist church in Brookhaven, MS.
Pastor Biggs did a wonderful job expounding on Enoch, as the Holy Spirit was moving up and down the isles touching the heart of His people.
Praise the Lord for a man of God who is not afraid to preach the Book. Please pray, tonight is the last night of the meeting. If God doesn't show up and revive hearts we might as well stay at home.

Warrington Independent Baptist Church
Praise God we had a great service at Warrington Ind. Baptist Church last night. I wasn't scheduled to be anywhere last night so I felt like to Lord would have us to drop in.
I am so glad I did, the people were so friendly and welcoming. The Pastor came to me during hand shake time and asked if I would preach and sing, so being the good little missionary I said I ready.
Now in my mind I am wondering what in the world am I going to preach... What am I going to sing... I'm not ready... I can't do this... But praise the Lord I serve Him who can!!!
So I sang while my wife played the piano and then preached. The Lord was moving on hearts and people came to the alter. Well I thought the service was over, but the Pastor wanted to take up a love offering for our family..... What a Blessing! Thank you Warrington Ind. Baptist.
I believe that the pastor is going to send some paper work for us to fill out that we can be added to their missions family. 1 down ? to go...

Answer to Prayer
As many of you know we were praying about a babysitter for Hanna (and soon to be peanut), for when we get to Africa. Well last night my sister called me and said God told me to go to Africa with you. I was taken back a little.
After all what do you say???
Well after talking with her a little while I found out that God had been talking to her all week. She had been praying and asking God what to do, until last night she made a decision.
Please pray that God will get some of her debt of of her shoulders. As many of you know debt is a very stressful thing while trying to serve God. She is trying to get totally debt free before leaving.

Where is America headed?
Jdg 19:22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
Jdg 19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Jdg 19:24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
Jdg 19:25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Jdg 19:26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Jdg 19:27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
Jdg 19:28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
Jdg 19:29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
Jdg 19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
May God help us to seek His face before it gets to this point. Would to God he would allow revival start with you and/or me.

This is Good Stuff !
This is a e-mail sent from Robert Mickey, missionary to Kenya.
Hello from Kenya,
It was one year ago this week that life as we knew it on the mission field forever changed. The events of one year ago will remain etched into our memories for as long as God allows us to live in this world. We watched in horror as neighbor rose against neighbor in unthinkable violence simply because of their tribal origin. We walked side by side with our people as Satan tried to bring a little bit of hell to them on earth. Satan tried and was successful all over Kenya but the glorious, victorious gospel won a great victory over the wickedness of man as we watched our people come together and stand in unity for righteousness. In spite of the pressures from all around them our people refused to turn against each other but instead embraced each other because they had indeed been made “new creatures” in Christ. We again want to give a big thank you to those who gave financially to help feed hundreds of our people who were displaced during the violence.
From the ashes of destruction our people gathered themselves with a new determination to reach people with the gospel. During the violence our people were scattered, we went from a church of 400 to a church of 100, but today God has brought us back together and has increased our number to over 500. We have witnessed “miracle” salvations as people have come to the Lord, whom humanly we thought it was impossible. Just last week we baptized a man that was saved who was part of the violent gangs, militias, and cults that was in the forefront of causing the mayhem last year. Two weeks ago he walked into church dressed like an “outlaw”, hair worn long in dreadlocks, as a symbol of who he was and who he was involved with. During the invitation he came to the front of the auditorium and a few minutes later was gloriously saved. He went out, got a haircut, came back to the church with all of his belongings that associated him with his former life. He brought things such as a complete army uniform that was used during the violence, tear gas, oath books, ammunition, and etc. We burned what we could and destroyed the rest. Today he has had to go into hiding because his former “friends” have put a hit out on him and said because of his rejection of them he must die as an example to others who may wish to also leave them. Pray for Stephen Kimani that he would take his strength from God.
God has given us a number of new and exciting opportunities this year to see some more churches established. We are in the process of possibly seeing three new churches established in our ministry here in Kenya during this year. We are also about to start going into one of the most dangerous and neediest place in the world, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as a new missions ministry of the Grace Bible Baptist Church of Nakuru, Kenya.
His for Kenya,
Robert Mickey and family
Folks this is what missions is all about...

Grace Baptist Church
We had a great service last night with Grace Baptist Church in Semmes, Alabama. I had more liberty than I have ever had last night. The building was packed, it was full of people hungry to hear and respond to God's word.
Many came to the alter and some commented on the sermon, all I can say is Praise the Lord. It is and was not me. It was my precious Father, Savior and Friend showing Himself through me. All praise and honour belongs to Him.
Some of the Ladies from the church brought my wife gifts and some cash. Just more money for her to spend on shoes....
Thank you Grace Baptist Church for all that you do for us!

Bible Baptist Church
Praise the Lord what a great start to the week. We went to Bible Baptist in Spanish Fort, Alabama.
They were so gracious to let me show our DVD in Sunday school and sing for the special music in the morning service. Pastor Ullo preached a powerful message from the word of God "Where do we go from here?" The people we friendly and asked questions about our ministry.
Thank you Bible Baptist Church for all your kindness, allowing us to present our burden as well as giving us a very generous love offering. We know that you didn't have to do anything so on that note we thank you for going the extra mile...
If you are in the area and need a church Bible Baptist is one that will treat you like family...

What would you do?
Moses: Exodus 32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
Paul: Rom 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:What a testimony of two of the most influential men in the entire Bible. They were willing to take the punishment of the people. They were willing to be cast into hell and suffer for all eternity, with no hopes of ever getting out. They were self-less the only that they wanted, was to see people come to God for their Salvation.
You and I as Christians believe that its there decision and we could careless. Until we get to the place that these men did we will never win our World for Jesus Christ.
May I be willing to be accursed for the Kenyan people...

One Soul Won!
Amen, Glory to God, Praise the Lord, we had a wonderful time in the Lord at the Faith Baptist Church in Florence, Ms tonight. The message was about drawing near to God. It was and is my prayer for 2009 for my family to be closer to God than ever.
While conducting the invitation the preacher asked me to come down front to receive someone who was ready to be saved. His name Arron, His age 16 to the naked eye he was a teenager who needed an attitude adjustment, but to God a young man in whom HE was dealing with. After talking with him and showing him the plan of salvation. Arron became Bro. Arron Amen.
I am so thankful that God is still in the saving business. In my heart I rejoice because that is one for the winning side, but in my flesh I weep knowing that there are millions of souls just like Bro. Arron, in Kenya who have never even heard the Gospel let alone received it.
May God help me labour fervently to see Kenya reached with the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Since when?
Since when do we get a choice of where we die, when we die, and how we die? Chapter 16 in the book of Exodus gives us an account of the children of Israel complaining to Moses and saying we would have rather died in Egypt.
During the summit this year, I made up my mind that I was willing to die for the cause of Christ. Whether here or on the mission field some where. It's not my choice.
I can think of no greater honor than to die for the ONE who died for me. To give all for the ONE who gave all for me. and to now live for the ONE who now lives for me.
If the children of Israel would just have went along with God's will they could have been out of the wilderness a lot sooner and with a lot less casualties. And much like the children of Israel we just need to go along with God's will.
Think of all the people who will spend eternity in Hell if we do not do what God has called us to do.

Praise God !
While reading a book yesterday I was overwhelmed by God's immensity. Do you realize that you serve a God that is outside of all things, inside all things, around all things and then on top of that He made it all.
We have a privilege to serve that God. We have the freedom to worship that God. And we have a duty to obey that God. What a great day it will be if I choose to walk next to that God rather than walking by myself.
God help us all to dwell on His vast immensity.

Going home today!
I am so glad I came to the Our Generation Summit this year! We have had some of the greatest preaching in the entire world. But as Bro. Chris Gardner said last night now it is time that we "JUST DO IT"! And He is so right, year after year we make decisions, and then we get discouraged or sidetracked and in doing so we have become the devil's Advocate. Let 2009 be the year that you Just Do It.
The First Step:
- Be saved
- Read your Bible through
-Make time to spend with God
(We do what we want to do)
Taking that other step:
-Sign up for the Training Center
-Decide to go on a missions trip
-Help you Pastor around the Church
(Truth is you will not lead, until you follow quietly )
-Get involved
-Have a great time serving GOD
Well I can't wait to get back to Mississippi to see my wife and baby. I know that many will be travelling don't forget to pray for them.
Thanks to all the hard work of BCWE/ Vision Baptist Staff/ as well as many others, may God bless you as you have blessed my heart.

Who are we serving?
Are we serving a dead god?
Are we serving a Weak god?
Are we serving a hateful god?
Well I want to submit to you that the world serves a HATEFUL, WEAK, DEAD, god with more zeal and fervency than most Christians. I want to be above average and serve the TRUE, LIVING and POWERFUL GOD.
Let's consider what the Word of God says in the book of Genesis, chapter 1. God created the Heaven and the Earth, and have you, He spoke it into existence. That is powerful! Chew on this a while and let me know your thoughts. missionarykr@hotmail.com

The True Definition of Humility!
Humility is the embarrassment you feel when you tell people how wonderful you are.

A Pepared Heart
II Chronicles 12:14 " And He is evil because He prepared not his heart to seek the Lord."
As you well know that it is possible to do evil while considering yourself as a Christian. I am not sure if that was the case here but, I do know that Rehoboam did evil.
You know the Bible didn't mention that Rehoboam was wicked because of what he did, but rather what he did not do. He did not prepare his heart.
A Prepared Heart is:
Saved
Romans 10:9
Sanctified
Romans 12:1-2
Willing to be sent
Jesus is our perfect example of being willing to be sent.
Before you start the day make sure you prepare your heart, it could be that God could use you in a special way today. But so many times we can't be used because we have not prepared our heart.
If you are a missionary next time you go to complain about deputation, be careful because this is a time when God is molding and shaping you into what you need to be.

Happy New Year
Did you stop to think that this could be the last year we have to reach those who are lost? Every year brings us closer to the Coming of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Are you ready?
Well in route to the OG Summit in Pigeon Forge I stopped at Calvary Independent Baptist Church in Chattanooga TN. I am so glad that not all of our Baptist Churches have compromised. The Preacher taught/ preached out of Psalms 1. I am so thankful I was there God nailed some things down in my heart for 2009! Praise God!
I also had the privilege of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Dan Spriggs, they were such a blessing. Not only did they feed me and give me some cash, but they were an encouragement to me of what a model Church member should be. They did nothing but brag on there pastor and their Savior. They had no clue who I was but yet they took me in and took care of another Christian brother.
Thank you Bro. and Mrs. Spriggs.
