Gratia church in Nairobi was so privileged to have Bible fellowship with students from Bridge International Academy On 2nd March 2018. The sharing was from Judges 13:1-25, “the birth of Solomon”. Pr Fredrick shared about this story of Samson and the Philistines, from the time of Samson until the time of David, the Philistines were the great enemy to Israel because they were fierce warriors and they were much in numbers than Israel and infighting skills, they were advanced. He referred to 1 Samuel 13:19-22, that they knew the secret to make weapons out of irons. Though God still chose Samson to deliver Israel.
During the study, there was one question that one of the students asked, ” why did the angel hide his name to Manoah”? He answered that Maybe in those days people believed that if they knew the name of the person, they could know his characters and maybe they could control him. By not giving his name, the angel of God was trying to make sure Manoah could not control him. He concluded that “the angel said his name was too wonderful and beyond understanding”. “Sometimes we asked God questions, but we don’t receive the answer, this does not mean that God is saying NO, but we ask God his knowledge, which is beyond our understanding and acceptance”. He concluded

These fellowships are helpful because all the schools that they are trying to conduct this fellowship with, have testimonies to give. “we are so thankful for the program since we started, our pupils are really trying to be obedient to God and showing a high level of discipline”.

Gratia church is planning to do Bible study continually at the church for the teenagers who come through football team and PPI.

May God guide the teens to God through this Bible sharing of Gratia church in June greatly!

Seeking to make progress in US mission in the weeks before Pentecost, churches will be pushing in to share the gospel across the nation while co-working within their regions and Olivet Assembly leadership.
“While our mission, vision and goals and strategies to expand the mission in the United States and Canada are not necessarily new, the main challenge for the mission is to take concrete steps and action plans in the weeks ahead to match God’s desire for revival across the nation, especially as Pentecost approaches,” said an OA USA representative.
Churches are setting their evangelism and program goals to guide believers toward greater commitment to Jesus Christ as church members and gaining a strong desire for living for God’s Kingdom. Olivet Assembly USA is also preparing for the June 5 Olivet Leadership Institute Summer Session that aims to train new Christian leaders that will be active across churches and ministries that are a part of the Assembly.
Prayerful and diligent implementation of church growth strategies will be key across many church activities including ongling bible studies, outreach programs, establishment of fellowships and ministries. Communication between churches, regions and the denominational headquarters will be important in seeking a unified, yet diverse approach toward the mission.
“By trusting in God’s providence that has given us all we need to make progress, we aim to go with diligence and fervor to make our Pentecost gatherings a time that marks a point of great victory for the Lord in sharing the gospel and dream for God’s Kingdom to many people,” said the OA representative.
OA USA urges prayers for advancement of the US mission.
