African Perspective Update

We catch up every two weeks Moday evenings at 7 pm with Pastor Erastus Sorobi from Hope Family Church in Niarobi in Kenya.  Currently, the church is looking to expand to rent a building in the church compound to house, provide for children.  Currently $500 / month is needed as rent and indeed to ensure that overheads of food and provision of resources are met. There is also an opportunity for the church to buy a plot of land with the house which can be an area for the children to run about in.  Prayers are needed for this.  The whole area would be known as - Hope Children Centre.You can find out more by visiting - www.hopefamilychurchke.org As I put this on as podcast, the website is almost ready to go live so check back often.

Do Not Be Afraid

In his message, Pastor Erastus uses Exodus 14:13-14 - Do Not Be Afraid.For this message we used 'What's App' - normally clear.  It is subject to incoming calls.  This is what happened on this occasion.  We are missing a very small portion of the message because of this.We welcome churches throughout Grampian who know and Love Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour to submit sermons for air play.In the same way, we want to encourage outreach to other countries such as Kenya. For this reason, we include messages from ministers like Pastor Eastus.
