Dear Partners,

I am writing this email to update you on the Ministries most current needs. We have approximately 100,000 US dollars in our account and 6 months @ 12,000 per month is earmarked for pastor salaries. Daniel has requested the hope and need for two new church builds in Mombassa and Turkana. Because of the size of the current church in Turkana and their desires for this to be an important outreach, they want to build a church that will cost approximately 24,000 US dollars. They also want to upgrade the church in Mombassa at a cost of 7,000 dollars. We also have expenses for the Church wide annual conference to be held in Bissell. We only have enough to take care of the needs for the conference and partial expenses for the larger church in Turkana. Any thing the Lord puts on your heart for these two churches would be greatly appreciated by the team in Africa. As I have relayed to you in the course of the last 2 years, growth of tribal Africans coming into the Kingdom has reached beyond any expectations we ever had, but at the same time, Bill, Dominic, and Ken would more than likely beg to differ as with God, anything is possible.

I would also ask that our partners to continue to pray for Israel and our Country in these very dark times. Ohio just passed an amendment that will allow unfettered abortion. This has happened in several states that have been very conservative and this brings to light, just how evil can ingrain itself in a Godly Culture. I struggle that any person that calls themselves a Christian can be led by the Holy Spirit to vote in such a way. I in no way condemn those that have been a part of an abortion. The counter culture of evil has presented itself in such a way that many many Christians have been fooled and made this mistake somewhere in their lifetime. I know, how hard that has been on those that succumbed to this, before or during their walk with Christ.

The Bible is extremely clear on the viability of Life.

Psalm 139:13-14, Luke 1 39-45, Jeremiah 1:4-5, Psalm 51:5-6, Judges 13:3-5. Considering all of these verses, it is clear that the Bible is undoubtedly pro-life. He loves us even before we are born. It has been heartbreaking to me that so many people that claim to be Christian can somehow do mental gymnastics to defend the right of someone to take an innocent and viable life. Political pundits are now arguing that conservatives need to give up this argument to win elections. One that claims to be indwelled with the Holy Spirit just cannot convince me that it is OK to pass the buck and say it is up to the woman to decide and that is between her and God. But it seems this is where we are at and this just leads me to believe we are closer to Christ's return than ever before. One of the most missed verses of Jesus during his Olivet Discourse Matthew 24:4 reads, Jesus answered, "Watch that no one deceives you."

As for Israel, most reading this will not be surprised at all. This is going to continue until Christ returns. The anti-christ will make a peace treaty with Israel and the whole world is going to think Antisemitism is gone for good. And then half way thru the seven year treaty, all hell is going to break lose and the war of the worlds will begin, with victory all ready foreshadowed. As Christians, we understand the complicated history of the Jewish People and the Jewish State. We were to be looking for the re gathering. The Christians were looking for so long that they invented a theology, because they had to help God along, called Replacement Theology, where the Church became Israel. But our wonderful Lord knew all along what would eventually transpire, we are all just so impatient. Trust me, I am very impatient! WW1, WW2, 1948, 1967,1973, Israel rises from the dust, Ezekiel 37:1-14. Its still here! Continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

I know that these two subjects seem not to correspond to a ministry of indigenous people groups in Kenya, but it does, as Jesus relates to us in Matthew 24:14,"And the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations and then shall the end come." Folks, did you think you would be living in times such as these, you are living in very real and exciting times!!!

I would invite all of you to read again in the next few days, Jesus Olivet Discourse found in the Gospel of Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 21. After refreshing yourself you may find yourself, heading backwards to Ezekiel, Daniel, Zephaniah, Zechariah, then forward to Revelation. Bill and I are looking for answers on all of this weekly. If you have any insight, we would love to hear it.

I would also recommend the TV or streaming videos of The Chosen. This is an excellent series on Jesus earthly ministry.

Thanks to all of you for your support in advancing the gospel of the kingdom that is coming and is and will be forever more.

Yours in Christ,

Dino Costanzo
