Joy Outreaches Activities for May 2022

Happy New Month! May the month of June be one of accomplishments in the diverse areas of your life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

In my last report, I stated that our goals for May were: 

1. To mobilize Christians all around the world to go out on evangelism every Saturday. We call it Soul Winning Saturdays.
2. To do a weekly school lunch program and outreach in partnership with an educational consultant. The school is in a ghetto, is struggling and consists of mainly poor and homeless kids.

To the glory of God, we accomplished both goals. The first edition of Soul Winning Saturday held on May 21 and subsequently will be held every first Saturday of the month. We held a weekly program at a ghetto school in partnership with an educational consultant. We held Bible clubs there weekly which helped to build them both spiritually and in their reading skill. We provided snacks for them as we were allowed to by their teachers. You can see photos and video clips of all our activities here.

GOALS FOR JUNE

1. To start ‘Helping the Homeless’, a weekly session to engage and empower young women living on the streets or in slums/ghettos to become financially, physically and psychologically stable so that they leave the slums and build a better life for themselves and their generation.

This program will be kickstarted online and the first episode will be premiered at 5:30 pm on June 7, 2022.

Your kind support is what makes all this possible. Thank you.

Day 34: Pakistan

Pakistan is a country in South Asia with a population of 227 million. Pakistan is a regional and middle power nation and has the world’s sixth-largest standing armed forces. 96.5% of people in Pakistan are Muslims while only 1.3% are Christians.

Prayer Points

  1. Pray for an insurgence of Christians into Pakistan who will spread the Gospel
  2. Pray that God will have mercy of the people of Pakistan and send laborers to them
  3. Pray that the land of Pakistan will not be forgotten in God’s agenda of harvest for the souls on earth.

Day 24: Angola

Angola is a country on the west coast of Southern Africa. Angola has vast mineral and petroleum reserves, and its economy is among the fastest-growing in the world, especially since the end of the civil war; however, economic growth is highly uneven, with most of the nation’s wealth concentrated in a disproportionately small sector of the population and highly concentrated in China and in the United States.

Why Pray?

  1. The standard of living remains low for most Angolans; life expectancy is among the lowest in the world, while infant mortality is among the highest.
  2. 56.4% of Angolians practise Roman Catholicism

Prayer Points

  1. Pray thay God will cause a revival Angola
  2. Pray that there will be a restoration of waste places in Angols
  3. Pray for a massive conversion to true Christianity this year 2022 in Angola

Message

After fasting and praying, this is what I perceive the Lord is saying to the people of these nations:

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

Another Chance

The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
Psalms 103:8‭-‬10 NKJV

♥️,
Joy.

Greed

Greed is an intense desire for something especially wealth, power or food.

Consequences of being Greedy

  1. You will backslide and end up in Hell: When people like to have lots of money, that causes all kinds of bad things to happen. Some people have stopped believing the message about Christ because they just want to get more money. As a result, they have caused themselves to be very sad because they have many troubles/pierce themselves with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10
  2. You will bring trouble upon your household. See Proverbs 15:27

How To Get rid of Greed in your Life?

  1. Guard your heart because your life is worth more than the things you have. See Luke 12:15
  2. Even if you become very rich, do not think it is important. See Psalm 62:10
  3. Practise being content with what you have. See Hebrews 13:5. Give God thanks for whatever you have. See yourself as being blessed because there are many who do not have it. Extend your hands to the poor and needy.

God bless you as you obey the Word of God.

♥️,
Joy.

Idolatry

🪆Idolatry is when you worship, bow down to or pray to an object, image or person (dead or alive).

🗿Idolatry also means having an opinion of God that suits yourself and supports your sins. E.g. when you say things like: “I don’t think God will send someone to Hell because the person told a lie.”

🤑Idolatry is also when you love and regard money, material things, your boss, your wife/husband, your self, anything and anyone, above God.

📖In Exodus 20:4-6, God said: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

🔥According to Revelations 22:8, all idolaters will end up in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone forever

🙏But if you repent today, leave Idolatry behind and put your trust in Christ completely, God can forgive your sins and grant you everlasting life.

🫴Come now, tomorrow might be too late.

Shall We Continue In Sin?

There are many professing Christians who have never come to God in genuine repentance and contrition for their sins. Growing up, they just found themselves in the church. They take sin very lightly. They do not understand that they are sinners in danger of Hell fire and desperately in need of the saviour, Jesus Christ. You and I owe them the true message of the Gospel. Watch this:

SOUL WINNING SATURDAY: We are empowering and mobilizing Christians and Churches to go out into the streets every Saturday in groups and clusters, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and perishing. Join here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IFjHJ7s8KqP1f3vWU0k7kP.
