| WHAT
GOD IS DOING IN OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW?
It has
been my experience that many suffer because of ignorance that there is
a God who cares for them. I look for various ways and means to reach out
and encourage people. My wife has been a great support and help as she
takes care of everything at home which makes it possible for me to spend
time doing gods work.

Bible
Study:
"Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with
gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or
deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the
Father through him." Colossians 3:16-17
We received
a gift of The Deluxe Edition of Nelson's Electronic Bible Reference Library
and use it for most of our bible studies and reference work. You can visit
them at the URL address below.

I study on
various topics as led by the Lord. Usually am inspired by a teaching from
a TBN program or from the message that was shared this week in church.
Also by my own personal relationship with God, that is how I did a study
on the words praise, majesty, awesome, beautiful etc. The result was a
screensaver titled "PRAISE GOD". When more involved with evangelism will
tend to read more subjects on the same topic, when involved with hospital
and prison ministry source out books about them. When involved with counseling
read more on counseling. When there is a problem or a need to explain something
in a way that will be easy to understand. I find it best to study about
the subject before attending to it. No point telling a person what he/she
already knew and it did not work.

Prayer:
And pray
in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me
so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, Ephesians
6:18-19
As a cell
activity we meet every Monday for 1hour prayer and intercession, making
supplication for the salvation of the people at workplaces, friends, families,
and neighborhood. During Cell meeting on Wednesday, we have a time of ministry
with praise and worship for 20-30 minutes. Some people send prayer requests
through the Email address: seby@ourchurch.com but most requests are received
by phone for acquaintances.

MAKE
BANNERS/POSTERS/BACKGROUNDS:
Christian
Worker's Prayer: Lord be with me in my work; let other workers see, by
the way I do my job, that you're leading me. Guide my temper and my speech;
and the things that make me laugh. Help me never to be lazy or do my job
by half. May Christ be always seen in me by those that I affect; let me
treat my fellow workers with kindness and respect. May I be honest and
industrious, and in my duties never shirk. May the world know I'm a Christian
by the way I conduct my life and do my work. Amen.
I make presentation
slides with a message that will help make others aware of God and who he
is. These can be printed on a T-shirt, banner, poster, card etc. I have
my album at webshots under the topic Religion. The names of the albums
are "eachonereachone" "Proverbs" and "Jesus is God" There are over 100
pictures that have been viewed about 2,700 times and downloaded more than
700 times. To download these posters you can paste the link mentioned below
into your URL.

The Holy
Spirit was the first to encourage me, Gloria was second. Her work is very
beautiful, imaginative and touching. Also check out her homepage, she is
a grandmother but still finds ways to glorify Jesus. Please convey my deepest
love and best wishes to her.

Giving:
There is
that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more
than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made
fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:24-25
Love: We
share the love of Christ with both believers and unbelievers. We have been
blessed many times with souls being won for the Lord Jesus and some added
to the local church.
Service:
We serve the local church as Home Cell Leaders.
Lend: audio's,
video's, books etc. to people who cannot afford investing in them. Sadly
most people don't understand this ministry and therefore don't return things.
Individual
attention: We spend time in counseling and prayer for people who have no
hope and meaning in life.
Tithing and
Offering: We have given cheerfully and God has always blessed our obedience
by restoring and replacing with more than we've given.
Hospitality:
Invite people over for lunch or dinner to fellowship and share what we
have, this time helps also to disciple and train people.
Encouraging:
Helping people to find their gifting by testing them with various responsibilities.
We like the
bible verse that say "It is a blessing to give than to receive" and We
love the verse "He who refreshes others refreshes himself" "Freely you
have received freely give" "God loves a cheerful giver" God will provide
for the future.

My
Gifting:
There is
that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more
than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
My gifting
is training: I love teaching and training. This comes out of a need to
educate people, make them conscious of sin and aware of the truth. Besides
having the experience of building with people as my work entails administration
and supervision. I am a Jack of all kind of personality. However it has
been my painful experience that unless God enables there is no fruit. Except
the lord wills I build in vain. Trust God to guide.
