January 2014 Newsletter! Update...leaving for Kenya!!!

MISSIONS…Reaching the Unreached FROM JOY MCCOLLUM… AMBASSADORS FELLOWSHIP, P.O. BOX 62309, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80962 January 2014, MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Blessings everyone!!! It has been several months since my last Newsletter. I have been seeking the face of the Lord as I am in a time of transition. The Lord is expanding my ministry beyond Benin, West Africa and Mexico and has added Nairobi, Kenya. I will be leaving for Kenya this summer and will be staying there for several months. As stated in my last Newsletter, as a recruiter/mobilize, I will be traveling to several countries to get acquainted with the ministries abroad and learn the culture in order to effectively bring in more laborers to these various fields. The ministry in Kenya is led by Mr. Aundrae and Sheila Cassell. I will be under these seasoned missionaries as I serve in Kenya. They have served in Kenya with their family of 8 children for over 20 years. I will be exposed to the conditions and needs of the ministry in Kenya and will return after some time to inform and challenge God’s people of the opportunities for ministry in Kenya. The Lord does not call only the preachers and teachers to the ministry of extending his kingdom, He also calls individuals with other abilities and skills, such as, musicians, educators, nurses, doctors, lawyers, builders, and so many more. There is a great need for a variety of laborers to advance God’s kingdom. My role is to help individuals to see the various opportunities that God can use them to advance His kingdom The harvest is so, extremely great! All of us need to be involved in some way for the gospel to reach everyone, especially the unreached. There are still sheep out there that need to be gathered into the Kingdom of God. John 10:16 says, “I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” I am excited to be going to Kenya to learn more of the international ministry over there and also to be of service to the ministry in Kenya. I am there to serve, learn, and help the ministry in any way the Lord desires. The women’s ministry in Philadelphia that I have continued to lead while I have been traveling back and forth has been very fruitful. The primary focus of that ministry was for women to recognize God’s purpose in their lives and to grow in relationship to one another as well as with the Lord. Its purpose is to have women be an encouragement to one another and be examples to be able to raise up other young ladies that need to see examples of pure, virtuous women of God. This ministry will continue to go on while I am in Kenya. Through the relationships established in this ministry, several women have gone on some short term mission outreaches as well. In the next couple of months before I leave for Kenya I will be visiting my supporters and churches to share what the Lord is doing. I am eternally grateful for your monetary and prayer support. Your giving enables me to continue the work that I am presently doing. I trust you will continue to be a part of my support team through your giving. The ministry I am involved in is causing me to travel more both locally, nationally, and internationally. May the Lord continue to bless you and comfort you in such an awesome way! I will keep you in my prayers continually. Prayer Points: • AF’s ministry in Nairobi, Kenya. • My financial support of at least $2,000.00 per month. • Protection for my family and myself as I do the Lord’s work. • Divine wisdom and direction in what the Lord has given me to do. • More young men and young women to come forth as laborers.
