Twoedged Sword Distribution & Evangelism

 Covid 19 Challenges  

The Covid 19  saga continue to provide challenges for Churches and ministries worldwide.   We are seeing our share of challenges in America.  The Landmark Baptist Churches of Kenya/Uganda were government mandated to close until August.   They were allowed to start meeting again under the conditions that they must have a Doctor with a thermogun to take the temperature of each member as they entered.    Most of the Churches could not afford to pay a Doctor and or purchase the expensive thermometer.   Our ministry helped purchase (30)  thermoguns but there were and still are (30) more Churches without them.   Consequently,  six Pastors have been arrested and jailed.    We have help four of them get released and the other two have been helped by neighboring Landmark Baptist Churches.   Regardless of our opinions about the severity or dangers of CV-19,  the devil has used it as an occasion to hinder, frustrate and buffet  God's people and His Churches.   We thank our Lord for His promise to His New Testament Churches that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it and we know that what man means for evil God can and will use for good.   Please lift these young Pastors, Churches and Congregations up to the Lord in prayer.

Muslim Village Update

Perhaps you remember our last report in which the Landmark Baptist Evangelist's had reached an unnamed Muslim village (for their safety)  and the request for (240) Bibles.

I'm happy to report that the discipleship process has started and the new converts have received their own personal Bibles to help them grow in their new faith in Jesus Christ.   Very much a reminder of the servants of God in the book of Acts who hazarded their lives for the preaching of the gospel.    Act 15:25  It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,    Act 15:26  Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.   

The two pictures below are the most compelling photos taken this year.   The first one (below) is of the two Muslim women in full black burkas gladly receiving the plan of salvation through the Word of God.    The second picture (below) is of the same two women without their burkas studying the Word of God.   1Co 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.    Thank you to our faithful ministry partners for providing those much needed Bibles for these new converts to grow in their faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord.   

Same Women as above studying the Word of God.

As you can also see from the (below) photo,  these two formerly Muslim men from the same village who trusted Christ as their Lord and Savior have also received a brand new Bible to be built up in their faith and grow in truth and grace.    Rom 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.   Praise our Lord they have been set free to walk in the newness of Life in Christ.  John 8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

 +Karamajong Tribe Receives Twoedged Sword

In addition to the Hardback Swahili Bibles provided to the Mt. Elgon region, we have  also provided Karamjong tribal language solar audio Bibles for new converts  in Uganda.     Due to a 14 day quarantine and travel restrictions, it does not look like we will be able  to travel to Kenya/Uganda this year.   With that said, our personal trips afford us the  opportunity to hand carry those audio Bibles.   We are going to attempt to mail small  quantities at a time to keep from raising too many red flags as we attempt to  get this most valuable resources in the hands of these new converts.    Your prayers over each audio Bible are coveted.   None of this would be possible  without your prayers and financial support.  Those of you who support this mission work are laying up treasures and we know that much fruit will abound to your account. Phip 4:17  Not because I desire a gift:  but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.   Lake Victoria Evangelism Last week two of our Mt. Elgon Landmark Baptist Evangelist's visited Lake Victoria to encourage our Churches there as well as do village evangelism at Uwendo and Siaya.    They saw nine residents from the fishing village of Uwendo trust Christ as their personal Lord and Savior as well as seven from Siaya who were saved.    Our prayer is that Uwendo will be organized into a Local New Testament Church by the end of the year and that we will be able to partner with Landmark Baptist Church  at Siaya to help them build a sanctuary.  Please pray for this need and if you or your Church is looking for a Mission project,  drop me a line and I will be more than happy to provide you with the detail.      Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach            the gospel of peace,                    and bring glad tidings of good things!" New Converts of Siaya Thank you for the opportunity to share this great news of what God is doing through His faithful servants, even during perilous days. To God be the glory!
