Each year in the region overseen by Pastor Otieno, the believers take part in a prayer walk. As they walk through nearby regions they claim through intercession new territory for God, believing the promise of Joshua 1:3.
……. every place that your sole shall tread I will give to you
The glorious gospel is preached as the faithful believers travel and pray. Every year fresh souls are saved and brought into the kingdom of God through Christ’s mercy and grace. The prayer walk of course needs finance for food, fresh water, energy drinks and snacks as the prayer intercessors and preachers travel. To date (26-03-2024) there is still an outstanding need of $300 usd (£238) for the ministry walk. Pastor Jamesis also involved in another work of mercy providing the Miranga villagers where he lives with healthy pure water. There have been deaths in the village already due to the contaminated water. $7000 has already been spent on a Solar powered water pump in this fresh water project. There is still $3000 needed for the machine drilling needed to complete the project.

Pastor James – Intercessor
Pastor James spends much time in a ‘ prayer mountain’ in this region where he intercedes for the lost ones who need Christ.

Testimony Of Pastor Bathlomew Onyango
As I, (Messenger and evangelist Marcus) look at the life and testimony of Pastor Bathlomew Onyango I see a truly humble and godly man of God filled with faith
Early Days And Conversion
Pastor Bathlomew’s ministry really started at the age of 16. Since then he has been in ministry for 31 years. God called him to salvation when he was still a teenager and even though he came from a Christian background and family that did not save him. His conversion experience powerfully changed him completely. He had been stealing things along with his peers and he was rebellious, but God did a miracle work in his heart. He said, As I looked at my friends and the way that they were going in the world and rioting and stealing I heard God say, ” I did not choose you to be like that, I’m going to send you into the Christian ministry.”
A Prophetic Word and Preparation
In 1992 it was prophesied by a team that came with Pastor Tom Payne, Scort Grabosky led by Rudy vandearman, (a team from Holland) that he should go and preach to the nations. Fruit had already begun to show in pastor Bathlonew’s life early on after his conversion and It was evident God had enabled him to speak forth the Word powerfully.
SHARING CHRIST IN UGANDA
For example, one of the teachers he had came to be born again through his words. Since that time pastor Bathlomew has continued to produce beautiful fruit from his union with Christ in Kenya and close surrounding African nations such as Uganda.
Ongoing Ministries of Mercy and Love
There have been and still are school ministries, hospital ministry outreaches, street witnessing, street preaching, reaching villages and touching lives with Christ love as he reaches the an reached, But now is the time for the 1992 prophecy to begin to blossom; it appears that God is indeed leading him in a direction away from a fruitful local ministry to a ministry in other nations further off. He has been able to contact and forge many strong ties with many Christians throughout all of the world; throughout all the globe! Indeed it seems at this time God is leading him into global evangelism for ” Gods End Time Harvest “.

Everybody always takes care of the things they really love. And if I, as Christians know how to love my wife, in doing so I will be truly blessing myself.
Caring for things you love
You take care of your motor car so that it would drive well. Every businessman takes care of his business so that it will bring him a better profit. We all take care of our bodies. You learn how to care for your health so that the vitality and happiness will be maintained. It only makes sense to take care for the things we love so that they will save us better. And we need to take care of our wives.
A Christian husband loving his wife is not driven by a selfish motivation. When we look clearly in the Bible we will see why this is true. The biblical understanding of marriage is very deep and very profound.
Love your wife as Christ loved Church
We might think of marriage as simply a relationship between two people; but the Bible explains it in much deeper terms than this. The Bible actually sees the husband and wife as one unity.
Matthew 19:6 – So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
The Apostle Paul writing in the Book of Ephesians chapter 5 said these words:
Eph 5:28 to 32 – So the husbands are also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself, for no one ever hated his own flesh but nourishes it and cherishes it even as the Lord does the church. Because we are members of his body. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and your cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.
Why it important have healthy self esteem
We all like to care for our health
The Lord Jesus did not condemn a healthy self esteem. In Matthew chapter 22, verse 39, Jesus told us to “love our neighbour as yourself”. There is a place for honest self-interest.
Loving your beautiful wife is also loving yourself. A Christ centred husband can love his wife knowing that by loving her, he is loving himself as well as her. This is because he and her are in fact truly one. A Christian husband cannot love his wife as a separate entity in order to bless here and her alone – for he cannot love and bless her without blessing himself as well. His love for her is an expression of his love for himself as well. His love for her speaks for and springs out of the Unity they share together and so his love for her is really motivated from honest self-interest.
A man loves his body our of the the practical necessity. He loves his body and it depends on it for everything he does. If he expects his body to serve him well, he must take care of it. He cannot take care of himself without at the same time taking care of his body for he and his body are one. So it is with his wife he is one with her and she is one with him. He cannot be complete without her.
What is “destiny” about
Healthy and godly self esteem is not related to self centred indulgence. A healthy self love is related to the calling of who you are and who you where destined to be in God.
Love is related to destiny. A healthy self esteem is related to questions such as: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? I love myself and take care of myself in order that I can do a better job in what I am called by God to do. So when a husband loves his wife, he loves himself and his wife together as a unity that they may serve God together in the thing which He has called them to do.
I heard an account of a true story of a man who has lost his lung tuberculosis. This man regularly excused himself to go to bed at 8:30 in the evening. He had lost one lung and he knew knew that he had to have extra rest if where to continue to live and support his family. He took care of himself so that he could take care of his family responsibilities. A loving husband takes care of his wife as he takes care of himself so that you can fulfill and be fulfilled in his calling and her calling together. That is the practical Kind of Love that flows out of a God centred marriage where the wife and her husband are truly one.
The woman is for the man
The Bible teaches that God’s intention in creating woman is to provide a fitting helper for him (Genesis 2:18). This is not a role that “polls highly” in the God rejecting culture of our present Society.
So the husband who loves his wife takes can take care of her so that she can be blessed and fulfill this precious calling she has from God. But, at the same time her calling will bless her husband, That is the way God ordered ordained it to be. As he loves her in the same way that he loves himself it is also her calling that brings both him and her personal fulfillment. Her husband wants fulfilment for her as he wants it for himself. A christian husband loves his wife as his own body. The two are one!
