Drilling of Water!

2009-03-18T19:22:00.000-07:00

We have already 7 wells dug and are providing water to the community. All this are drilled on our various church properties or close-by so that people will be fed by both spiritual and natural water as well. We have a group of local boys who for their living will dig the hole many feed deep till they hit to water. It's more manual work; something to dig the ground with, a bucket to get the dirt, and manpower. I wish it was easier but we hope one day their will be machines to facilitate that and that could cause the well to go much deeper so that they cant dry in hot seasons. Most of the well have ranged from 40 - 150 feet. Hard work, wow!!. But it works. The prices of getting a simple well done varies from the depth or elevation. But with $1500 - $2000 not in desert areas one can get water, fix on a cheaper pump but able to let people get good water than drinking in the contaminated rivers. We try as much as possible to wisely distribute and use the few funds at our disposal correctly. We need clean water for long life. Many communities need clean water. Help get it done!

Some History

2009-03-18T18:12:00.000-07:00

The Founder - Healing Ministries Kenya.
His experience

My daddy who was an alcoholic although at the same time serving as
a sponsor to some particular denomination says all they needed his
money and what he could offer.

The seed was not in his heart. God miraculously designed his salvation and that was 1974. Before this event, he says we had lost two children in the same week. We were not yet born by then. (We were born twins). At that time through the circumstance of events he realized something was wrong. It was believed a spell had been cast on his two children a boy and a girl that died. By then, my mother was pregnant. She was carrying us in her womb. The same person that cast spells on the ones that died said that Mum would die with us also or if we were born, we will also die. At this time, she only had two children alive. The first born-a girl and the second born-a boy. They were no targets of immediate death but were afflicted with disease. Lost their hair on their heads, the skin affected. They were purposed by the enemy to die gradually.

Being a teacher by profession, jealousy aroused as a result because my dad was earning big money as wage and was considered rich in the village. Following this events and threats, my dad and mum tried to do everything to be safe but none of these things worked. I can not speak more about him for there is more to be told in his life. At that time my grandmother went to visit her daughter where she was married about 200 miles away. She was running away from a situation in the home of her own sons. She went to where her daughter, my aunt- was married. And there, was a man of God that had a great testimony. He once had died and was put in the mortuary. On the day they went to take him out for burial, they found him seated on the bed alive. The first thing he asked for was a Bible. He became strong with healing gifts, miracles, signs, wonders and prophecy in his meetings. My grandma and Aunt went to hear him preach. Before this man began preaching he stood up and pointed his finger to my grandma and begun to prophecy to her. He told exactly the situation at home and told her that "she was running away from her home because of the fear of the sword and all this was because the enemy was jealousy at the blessings of her home and he was out to destroy and kill her children"; "But great is the Lord your God who brought you here to seek after the salvation of your home for the enemy shall not prevail instead you will be a home of light to the world". When he was done with preaching my Aunt and grandma went to talk to him and asked him come home. He said to them that the Lord had showed him our home years ago when he was dead that he should settle there and have a healing ministry there.

His Salvation and The birth of the Healing Ministry

They came home and prayed with my dad to receive salvation and my mum too. He was delivered from alcoholism and Dad asked this preacher to stay and he gave him his bedroom. During that same time many people begun coming home for healing and deliverance for they knew the preacher stayed there. He laid his hand on mama's stomach and prophesied over us in the womb. He called us preachers in the womb and the things he said are coming to pass. He became close to dad and he had his room at home furnished with all he needed. Dad begun receiving visions and dreams and could interpret dreams, signs and tell of events. We were born in the very same season. The word was noised in the whole community at what God was doing at home and many came to the Lord.

In 1979, God showed dad a vision to start the healing ministry. He did not know how but had our home to be a healing center. God begun using him mightily as he ministered to the people that were coming home. We were just little boys who knew nothing but were a customed to seeing people come at home everyday. At the age of six, we joined kindergarten in 1980. Before that my parents tell me that whenever people came in the house for ministry we used to prophecy to them. I do not understand this because I don't remember anything. However, they say it was true since the age of three. When in school we could come home little kids and begin imitating dad and the preacher. That man of God loved us so much that whenever we came from school he would call us to play with him for some time and carry us. I didn't know what then he was doing but now I can understand. And so the healing ministry began to grow.

Our first Mission Outreach 93

Well we went through our education through high school in 1992. The following year we could not go to college because at that time I felt it strongly to do something for God. Yes we helped dad pray and minister to the people at home and people were coming always but I just wanted to go out to them instead of them coming always to me. I guess that was an evangelistic torch upon me. We stayed home with people who were healed instantly, delivered and we were discipling them. I did not know why.

One day when dad was gone to school to teach in 93, We slipped away taking with me this brethren to a far community for evangelism. I also wanted to exercise the gift in me. Nobody knew us in that village we visited but through the word of knowledge, we were led to some home. The wife was an elementary teacher but could not stay in the house because the husband when he got drunk could beat her or threaten to kill her. We went in and found him drunk. He challenged us. He said I am fed up with preachers coming to my house and don't leave me with peace behind but war with my wife; If you are true men of God tell me what happened yesterday in my house and I will believe all you've got for me. Wow! What a trap! Well I asked one lady on my team to sing the song that says there is power in the blood of Jesus. As the sang I turned to the wall and pleaded God to do something to prove to this men that we are not only true men of God bit that we serve a living God. Immediately He spoke to me and showed me the whole incidence. I turned around and laughed as I looked to this man. I stopped the singing. I begun explaining what I saw. Previously he had been awakened from the sleep early in the morning and wanted to go out to use a bathroom. At the out door he stumbled at a can full of alcohol and went back in the house terrified for he ordered none and had never had it hat style before. After telling it to his wife he set off for the outside bathroom. Now the can was not there but was at the bathroom door as he approached. He spilled it at a dog by licked and died. it was poisoned but the movement was mysterious. That is exactly how the Lord showed it to me. Little did I know this man was on his knees shedding tears.

The wife embraced him and we prayed together with him for salvation. He asked as to stay few more days. People heard a bout it in the community and flocked in his house all day long bringing those that needed deliverance and salvation. Several sick people came in but this were minor sickness like fever, stomach pains, nose bleeding etc. who were healed. The day after they came in the meeting carrying a girl that could not talk and was weak. She came forth at the hour of prayer but I did not pray for her. She left disappointed together with here people that night. After 2 days at around 3:30 PM when we had begun our noon service I looked through the window and saw her coming again with the same people at first. They walked in the meeting and sat down. I begun praying for the people together with my brother and then reluctantly laid my hands to her. For inside of me I said this kind of sickness requires my dad. I can only pray for minor sicknesses but not to that level of complicated diseases. Well as I laid my hands on her reluctantly lest they be offended a gain, surprisingly she begun talking and repeating what I said. I was surprised but at the same time energized.

Early morning we saw a child carried to the hospital passing by and her mother was wailing. The child was fainting she said. I called out to her! What is wrong with your child? Moreover, she stopped and said he is dying. I said bring the child here! She said I want him in hospital. But doctors are here! I exclaimed. In the moment of this exchange this child was dead. She had no other choice but bring her to us. I took the mother a side and went with the child in the house. We asked one of the ladies on our team to hold the child and asked everyone in the house to pray. Turning to the child together with my brother Simon, we spoke life and saw that child sneeze back. I summoned the mother to come in and gave her back the child alive. With this miracle, I send someone home to tell Dad and mum what was happening and where we were. The man that was delivered and saved where we stayed is now a pastor at this moment and on his property has one of our churches build. God restored him a good job that he had lost. He is now a high schoolteacher of biology and science.

We went back home. Dad was glad to hear the testimony but still was not willing for us to go out on our own. He said we still needed to grow up in faith. Well in 95 and 96 we begun going out more on our own and brought him back the reports. I asked for his blessings and went to the neighboring country of Uganda. In 1997, I had the privilege to come to USA and preach. I went back in 98' early to Kenya and started to establish churches under the foundation of my dad. By year 2000, we have had six churches with a strong team of leadership under the same anointing.

By 2002 we had started 14 churches. This number has come up quickly now to 28 churches by this year 2009 (2 more have yet to be confirmed but its all with our evangelistic teamwork. The number is rising to 30) of which we have laid the foundation. We also started 3 schools - Kinder garden. Now besides Uganda we also reach Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, west Africa - Ghana, Germany, US and are looking forward to Somalia, Congo, Sudan and the like. We do also a lot of humanitarian services like getting wells drilled and shelters.

Tiriki revival 2000

Revival broke out in Tiriki Kamunono Miracle Church and that is what I want to share with you about briefly;
We were asked to carry out a funeral service in one village that has strong voodoo, witchcraft and territorial spirits dominating. It has been a community feared by many because of their witchcraft acts. Majority of the villagers are not educated and young men and the elderly stay on drugs and local brew. Struggling whether or not we should go to this community, after praying , we decided to go as a team from the church. On the burial day as the message came out in simplicity revolving around the cross of Jesus, I saw many shed tears as this message broke their hearts. I could not continue preaching. Making an alter call; it was flooded with boys and girls, Men and Women, old and young raising up their hands to say Yes! to Jesus. Forgetting the normal procedures for a funeral service we decided to follow the directives of the Holy Spirit and call out for prayers to the sick and God had stupendous plans. The elderly people of this community came to talk to us and would not let us go back home but begged us to stay for a week! Amazed at what God was doing we stayed and saw great things happen. Conviction fell on those who practiced magic acts and they went in their homes bringing their different crafts to be burned.

A young man (ring leader) of drugs gave his life to Jesus in the funeral and many who knew him and walked with him followed up to surrender all to Jesus. The word waived a cross the whole village that the area Ass. Chief was impressed with this report. As I spoke to him with his elders I could see chains and bondage's broken and their faces were lit with a sincere hunger and thirst that is real for Christ. A month later in one baptism we had 48 candidates immersed in water. That was a month after the revival broke. This people come to this place daily very early and stay all day long till late night listening to the word preached and demonstrated. We put up a banana structure on this piece of property (belonging to the brother of the deceased) had our services in it. We have now been able to purchase this piece of property . At the moment we are in the process to build a church on it. We have the foundation laid in place to almost slab level. We build our first a school on this property for the community and dug our first well on the same. This is fresh and clean water for our kids.

Do you want to visit?<

Concerning visiting this work: One thing you have to realize and understand is we can NOT twist the hand of God our way.. No! All we need to do is give him our commitments and desire. Wherever the Lord directs He provides." If you earnestly commit & desire to visit this work God will provide for He is Jehovah JIREH. He creates a way in the wilderness and a path in the sea. Out of the dry ground, he brings forth life and water and He gives us our daily bread.
He is a light unto your path and a lamp unto thy feet. He will order and direct your footsteps to the right source of provision and $1300 for a ticket will be nothing to him for He will care and meet all your needs." Amen!

Walk into the fullness of His promises.

God bless you,
Samuel.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the efforts set to ensure that HEMS FOUNDATION MINISTRIES is taking it up aggressively in the midst of events and the trend of the current world undertakings.

This is also in line with the unfolding pattern of world news. God has positioned us to stand in the gap as a body of believers committed to prayer, evangelism and discipleship. Affecting communities around the world through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hems makes your life to count and we do invest our reach and ability to the lives of the unreached groups of people. Our vision is to strive toward the achievement of the greater vertical integration of spiritual scale in ministry and service to the unreached and the lost.

We wish to reassure you and the entire world that we are trusting God to give out our best as the spirit anoints our package of service. As a team, Hems staff pledge to serve you with the greatest expediency and efficiency.

It is my humble prayer that the end time work is so great that we need your prayers and even moral and financial support to get this work where God will get all the honor and the glory belongs to him. We work on theology, literal basic education, orphans and needy ones, nutrition, water and health; mobilization and fellowship of believers and we need your support. God bless you as you stand in the gap for the church is one unified body. AMEN.

Rev. Macdonald Mark
Pastorate General, Hems ministries international.

A word from the Director Simon Maina Okwayo
Brethren, If we are going to see the world touched by the power of God and lives changed, something first has got to happen to us the church.

The Healing Evangelistic Ministries (HEMS) in Kenya is there to serve this purpose.
God has directed us to the backsites of the nations, reaching the unreached ones, feeding the poor, bringing the body into true unity and mobilizing believers for missions all around the world.

We have established healing centres in the rural parts of the nation and a tremendous work is realized. We train, equip and disciple as we sent them out to turn cities upside down and inside out.

We are not going to get tired till we see believers impacted, equipped, anointed with the very same power that was upon Jesus Christ that they may be able to do the works of God. I alert you to be aware of the lateness of the hour.

"HEMS" serves as an apostolic body and we are purely non-denominational.

I need you to stand with me and see the great mission accomplished before Christ's second return. We are seeing the book of ACTS manifested daily in the mission fields.
Its my desire as I open up wide my heart and pour it to you, that may God stir you up to such a degree that patience will have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

God bless you and your families, children, nation, church and all you set on your hand to do for His glory.

Greetings and God bless you.
His servant,
Rev. Simon Peter Maina Okwayo.
Hems Director

Testimony from Richard Darnell

2009-03-11T22:56:00.000-07:00

Hi,
I thought it was interesting for you to hear of what God is doing through His children. The mail below is send by my friend Prophet Richard whom I prayed with in Austin Texas, and spoke prophetically into his life before he went out to a mission trip to Califonia.

Richard wrote on your Wall: "Things are going great in the spirit. Been some physical stuff in my stomach especially when I hit Cali. The power of God showed up lives were changed. The Lord touched many lives through the prophetic word. I was amazed. It was not the deep words but just simple words of assurance that people would just break down and the power of God would come over them and comfort them in their distress. It was a word of deliverance as you prayed over me. One marriage was spared and on Tuesday night while ministering on the gift of prophecy to a home group the whole county shook. It made the news because it did not register on the equipment as an earthquake. They could not explain how the whole county shook but no evidence on mans machines. Was this confirmation of some things to me yes but only God really knows and he gets the glory for it all. Was cool for something like that to happen on my first trip though.
Here is a link to the shakinghttp://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://cbs2.com%2Flocal%2FQuake.Shake.Rattle.2.95.
Blessings"

Richard.

Personality and Relationships

2009-03-05T22:03:00.000-08:00

"And above all, have fervent love for one another: for love shall cover the multitude of sins." Peter 4.8

Most of us are probably allured by the attractive notion that effortless relationships exist. Whether it be happily-ever-after marriages, or friendships which last forever, or parent/child bonds which supercede the need to understand each other, we'd all like to believe that our most intimate relationships are unconditional, and strong enough to withstand whatever may come. However, at some point in our lives most of us need to face the fact that relationships require effort to keep them strong and positive, and that even wonderful, strong relationships can be destroyed by neglect.

Whether you're looking to improve a love relationship, familial relationships, friendships, or employer/employee relationships, understanding your own personality type and the personality type of the other person involved in the relationship will bring a new dynamic to the situation, which will allow better understanding and communication. Although the different types of relationships have very different characteristics and specific needs, there are two basic areas which seem to be critical in all relationships: Expectations and Communication. What do we expect from ourselves and the other person involved in the relationship? How do we communicate these expectations, and our feelings and opinions to the person in the relationship? How does our personality type affect our expectations and methods of communication? Does our personality type affect who we are romantically attracted to? How does it affect who our friends are, and who we work with best? These are the questions which can be addressed in the BIBLE as we desire God's word.

Please note that we are not prescribing an absolute solution to your relationship problems, nor are we stating that there's any guarantee of improved odds with particular type pairings. Statistics show that individuals who are most happy within their marriages are those who have the highest levels of inner peace and those who have the most optimistic outlook on life in general. We do not address people's emotional standing here when discussing relationship issues, which is another important aspect of relationship dynamics.

Surrender yourself unto God the Father as your creator and He will fix you.

Weeping To Joy!!!

2009-02-23T21:11:00.000-08:00

There are many of God's Faithful ones and children crying. Their cries has been of a search for victory. They are loud , deep and are heard.
Their cries are with agony, pains, in trouble, of persecutions, overwhelmed by their adversaries, pursued all day long and the cries of being tired of the same wanting a breakthrough.
The Lord God is indeed faithful even to those who are crying: Listen:-
"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalms 30:5.
See Malachi 4:2, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
This is your reaping season and restoration from God. You shall reap with JOY. Remember the joy of the Lord is our strength.

HOPE FOR 2009!

2009-02-16T20:43:00.000-08:00

Unto His children,
Praise the Lord God!
At the very beginning of this year 2009, God revealed to me that many of His children would walk and operate in divine favor. Now how I wished that it was for ALL but He said to me - MANY. I am here to agree with your spirit that you are among the many.
This is a year of increase, production, multiplication, giving birth, excellence and forwardness. The reason why 2008 was full of the attack it's because God was preparing you to deliver 2009. The enemy wouldn't let you; he came with the pains, trouble, discouragements and all sorts of tricks; But thanks be to God for He is faithful. You shall progress this year into your God-given destiny. Your life has a purpose and you have to live it. God's assignment for your life is DIVINE. Discover his purpose for you. Remember the words of God unto young Jeremiah: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jer. 1:5) God already has a plan for you and your life. Discover it.
Now you cannot produce or deliver this year 2009 if you have not stored, received or concieved in 2008.
To get different results in the year 09, you must learn to do something different than what you've done in the year 08. And its my heart's desire and prayer that FAVOR will be your portion this year 2009.
Many will be subdued to you, come your way for good, be submissive and give a hand.
May the Spirit of the Lord Empower you for Increase this year.
Get ready and be set.
God bless you.

God Is In Control - Praise Him!!

Praise and worship to God brings us open doors, breakthroughs and releases us from the spirit of heaviness. Begin to praise God!!

DIRECTIONS!!

2008-07-08T01:39:00.000-07:00

Life tells us that we need guidance. (Amplified Bible quotes) "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children (Hosea 4:6).
I witnessed in a city (San Francisco) that signs were put in place to help travellers. We need accurate, clear directions to our journeys. This applies as well to our spiritual walk.

And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction (Genesis 6:12).

Isaiah 52:10, "The Lord has made bare His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations [revealing Himself as the One by Whose direction the redemption of Israel from captivity is accomplished], and all the ends of the earth shall witness the salvation of our God". [Luke 2:29-32; 3:6] Yes beloved a way has been shown us; DONT HUNG OUT!!! GET IN!

The way has been made straight to us by Jesus Christ. Are we willing that He leads and we follow?
And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured (Hebrews 12:13).

TO THE NATIONS!!

2008-06-23T14:25:00.000-07:00

Missions is the heartbeat of God and should be ours too. It is the great command of Jesus given to his Disciples!! Do you take it serious?
