God at Work Through the Internet in Africa
I received a guest blog article yesterday afternoon from a person doing missions work in Africa. At first I dismissed it because it doesn’t meet the some of the guidelines we had set. It’s not as long as we would have liked, the grammar is a bit lacking, and it doesn’t go into a lot of specifics about how the Internet is being used.
But you know what? Throughout history God has used lots of people who didn’t meet human guidelines – prostitutes, murderers, uneducated fishermen. Maybe God can use a blog article that doesn’t meet my specs.
Here is the message I received…
Dear Brethren,
Thank you for your e-mail about missions. I began to serve God on the homepage www.ourchurch.com/member/h/Hilaire in November 2004.
Since this day I could reach more people with the message of the Evangelism of peace Jesus brought to us. In the beginning of 2005 I got many messages brethren from different countries especially from East and central Africa. I do not think, I could not have this opportunity easily without this medium.
Through this homepage the Lord has set up a living network that preaches the Evangelism of peace ‘Word of Peace and Reconciliation Ministries Network’.. We are present in Burundi and Rwanda and South Africa. We are also working together with brothers and Sisters from/in Congo (RDC). We are in touch with Brethren in Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. For one year, my brethren Wenceslas Ndayisenga and Pastor Fidel Ndikumwami visited Uganda. We also got visit, two preachers from Zambia came to Bujumbura. They did bring Bibles that was a big blessing for us.
This is for me a great moment to express my gratitude to you. All those contacts were possible through this possibility you grant me by giving me the possibility to be the owner of website. God bless you…
N.B I am Burundi native with a German passport. I am living in Germany since 15 years. I came to the Lord in this country.
God bless you

God is doing some awesome things in Africa these days. While more and more people in Europe and the Americas are dismissing God out of foolish self-sufficiency, more and more people in Africa are embracing Jesus as savior. It’s also amazing to me the impact that the Internet is having on missions work and the spreading of the Gospel in a continent where most people still do not have electricity in their homes.

It is with a Warm Heart and Thanksgiving to know that the Brothers and Sisters in Africa have a Kind Spirit Working with them and their Families . I feel very Happy to know that these Missionaries got the Bibles and that finding God and Jesus gives them hope , love , understanding and most of all Comfort . The Spirit of the Lord once lead that part of the World . And during hard times ,killings ,war, voodoo , greed , these Brothers and Sisters found God .
The Life that they have to live We can only Pray for them. The Law of their Lands are Scarery, Lawless,Unkind,Chopped Up, Brutal , and more . Some of these Africans have a hard life and surviorers . Now with God on their side once again , I feel a big Smile from up above and far away.
Yours with Love Sister Anderson

It is awaresome to see what God is doing In Africa , despite our many diffculties we face as a people God is still in the process of doing wonderful things. I believe it is the time for Africa to show the World the real gospel of Jesus our Lord. The missionaries came to us with the Gospel and it is our turn to go to the them with the power of Revival .
Brothers and sisters, fellow ministers of the Lord continue in his vineyard and we shall the fulness of God in Africa . Africa is not the Dark continent it is the light continent , we are not developing nations . it our time to came from ashes to glorly from pit to the palace.
Shallom may God bless Africa and his Annoited ones

Since I posted my testimony about “God at work through the Internet in Africa”, I have received tens of nice comments. God bless you.
It is a fact; God has done something special in Africa. The Lord has poured His Spirit over there. Every day incredible events are taking place in Africa. Most of them are cases of repentance, deliverance and healing. Can you believe that people came home where I was living asking me to pray for them because they wanted to receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour?
People are looking for God; they really want to have a personal relationship with Him! Christians, pastors and evangelists are working hard, they walk on foot, do not eat enough etc. It surly didn’t happen for the first time, but there is no need to search long for an example (in Africa) of one who trusts in God according to Luke 14:25-26 or Matthew 6:33
For a pastor or an evangelist to get the opportunity to surf in the Internet is alone a miracle!
When I read messages from Pastor Mauza from Tanzania and brother Martin from Kenya; I understand very well what they mean. The Church of God in Africa really needs support. God has invested over there; we just need to be aware of the fact. We are even challenged: “If someone can do something and does not do it, he commits a sin” James 4:17. This Church is ready to send missionaries to the nations, in and out of the continent. As Pastor Amarjeet mentioned, many souls are in danger. Let us not loose our time.
However, we have to be careful because Satan doesn’t sleep. Many false prophets are also at work! If someone fills he/she wants to work, help or serve God in Africa, it is very important to pray for Wisdom from God before he/she makes a mistake. Examine all spirits!
God bless you

After reading the testimony of Pastor Hilaire, I cried tears of joy knowing that our Lord Jesus Christ is doing a mighty work in Africa. It is indeed a great blessing to see people hunger for God to the point that they are willing to sit at the doorside to be ministered to. I pray that the Lord will continue to increase Pastor Hilaire in ministry and greatly anoint him to reach out to more and more people all over the world.

I enjoy in our Lord Jesus Christ by work is fulfilled in Burundi through Brother NININAHAZWE Hilaire. What was dream, it is reality to day. We are moving in peace passeth all understanding which the work and our Grand father did not impart us. The peace was like moon, but to day we are living in revelation of peace of Christ , then we are reconciled together in Him. Brother Hilaire God is work in our hearth, then what was impossible in ten years of war today is possible through word of Peace. The river of Peace is moving our knoweldge until to connect God’s servants in Bond of Peace.
To be in this spiritual network is blessing to me (Ps 29:11).

vous faites un travail manifique pour l’oeuvre de Dieu,ce travail merite des encouragements de part et d’autre,c’est une vision qui est large par rapport Ă d’autres Ă©glises qui ont une vision très courte,mais ça demande beaucoup plus l’Ă©largissement au niveau des pays du nord de l’afrique car il ya enorment des chrĂ©tiens qui ont soif de cette parole de reconciliation sur cette terre,Dieu sait le pourquoi ils vous a mis Ă coeur cette vision,vous devait faire le mieux pour sensibiliser les chrĂ©tiens du monde Ă connaitre cette parole de reconciliation Ă travers le monde.Que la paix du seigneur soit avec vous.
