Africa Hope Center

Today at church Joseph Wamutitu spoke. He is a pastor from Nairobi Kenya and an amazing person. I was once again so inspired, challenged, and encouraged today by hearing him. He started his ministry in Kenya as an outreach with a holistic approach with missions. However, he learned of children that were be orphaned by parents dying of aids. His mission became giving these children hope by offering them a home to live in and a faith to live by. He started the mission with his own money and took in 5 children. Today he has 106 orphans that live at the mission. This man has such a pure giving heart. He teaches these children to give back to others like Christ did. He shared the 5 loaves and 2 fishes passage today and explained how he patterned his ministry after this. By knowing that nothing is impossible for God to do. He also humbly shared how he was such a simple person with no major talents. He said that he was so average, but that he knew by partnering with Christ, he could to anything...and that he has. He used the analogy that any of us would take any opportunity in the world to be partners with Bill Gates (who wouldn't love those resources??) but that we as Christians have such a greater partner. That really hit me. I mean, I would flip if I knew I could be partners with Bill Gates and his fortunes. But, my God has fortunes and resources far beyond the scope of anything I can ever imagine....and all at my finger tips. It is just a matter of faith. And, I need to focus more on that.
