Newsletter – January 2024 – Poured Out For the Nations

"Happy New Year 2024!"

Dear Poured Out Disciples of Messiah Jesus,

Happy New Year! So incredible—2024! I was thinking and praying about how to start this new season as it pertains to this letter. I keep coming back to this primary message:

WATCH THEREFORE AND BE READY!

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:42-44

Our Savior gave the command to watch therefore and be ready for Him to come for us in the Rapture. He will come and take us quickly back to the place He has been preparing for His born again bride (John 14:1-3). You see the point of the analogy of the homeowner who would not have time to GET ready for the thief in the night—is that he would have to “BE” ready!

Our Savior goes on to speak of two servants—one faithful, wise, and blessed. The other—cursed and hell bound. The blessed servant is watching for the returning Master while the evil servant is not. The blessed servant, concerned that the Master could return any moment is obediently feeding the other servants.

Our Savior Jesus is the Bread of Life and blessed, faithful, servants today are watching for the Rapture and giving others the Bread of Life Jesus Christ! Having said that, after posting the passage addressing these things, I will then share a few initiatives lining up for 2024. We can start the year off right praying, giving, and going—sending me out with this glorious gospel and discipleship in Christ Jesus! We are team Messiah Jesus together praying, giving, going for Christ our soon coming King!

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:45-51

India Outreach Postponed
In our most recent newsletter I was prayerfully considering a January outreach for India. I have decided to focus on India later in the year Lord willing. With this great opportunity I want to confirm the best timing with our Savior Jesus—which may be in the fall of this year.

Uganda Pastor Conference
It has been a great honor through the recent years to help dear pastors mostly in Rwanda. Now, our Watch Therefore Africa team is preparing a seven nation pastors conference as I will be teaching special church leaders who will come from Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Rwanda, DR Congo, and Tanzania to Kampala, Uganda for this special Kingdom outreach. Lord willing, this heavenly week of meetings will be held in May.

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Gospel/Discipleship Outreach
Our Western DRC pastoral ministry partners are planning a very unique gospel outreach week to many unreached Congolese in the mountains of DRC! Upon arrival to Kinshasa (DRC Capitol City), I would fly with our partners to a central mountain village area where we will preach the gospel and disciple many in our soon coming King Jesus! Lord willing, this will be in late June.

Folks, I think you would agree that time is running out! Whatever we are going to do by faith in Messiah Jesus—we need to do it now. Just think, after He comes for us we will never be able to do anything “by faith” ever again! If our Savior comes for us this year may He find us watching and ready!
