TENS OF TOUSANDS OF BURUNDIANS RETURNED TO JESUS - Post by my best friend Daniel Kolenda on June 8th, 2014




 More than a third of the population of people of Bunjumbura, capita city of Burundi was at the meeting.

Read this message from our friend Daniel Kolenda:

Dear Mission Partners,
We’ve just returned from the State House where the President of Burundi lives with his family. Our team was invited to be their special guests after tonight’s Gospel meeting. We had another full service. There was wonderful worship, I preached a Gospel message, gave an invitation for salvation, and we prayed for the President and his top government officials who were all present. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. They truly fear the Lord and desire to serve Him.
Tonight’s final meeting, of this Gospel Crusade, was an amazing success. The only difficulty that we had was the size of the crowd. There were so many people that were pressed onto that field. I was concerned, at certain points, that someone would suffocate. We removed the barriers so that the people could fill all the available space in front of the platform. As you can see from the pictures, the platform looked like a raft floating on an ocean of humanity!
More than a third of the population of the city of Bujumbura, the capital, was at the meeting tonight. Tens of thousands of people responded to the Gospel. Deaf ears opened, cripples walked, and many other miracles took place.
The last time that Christ for all Nations was in Burundi for a crusade was 25 years ago. Today there is a whole new generation, and most of the hundreds of thousands that attended this week’s meetings were young people who have now had a life-changing encounter with Jesus. The bishop sitting next to me on the platform told me that all three of his children were filled with the Holy Spirit last night. He said that they were so drunk in the Spirit that they had to be carried off the field. So many young people were saved, healed, delivered and baptized in the Holy Spirit this week that it’s hard to even imagine how the future will be affected. History has been made here! The future of Burundi is very bright.
Today is my birthday, and I could not think of a more wonderful gift than the privilege of sharing the love of God through Jesus Christ. Thank you for standing with us, shoulder-to-shoulder, in this historic harvest of souls. Now our hearts and prayers move to Rwanda where we will be in a few weeks for another Gospel Campaign. Please pray for us as we make final preparations for another massive harvest here in Africa.

Yours in the Gospel,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
Together with Reinhard Bonnke, Peter van den Berg, and the whole CfaN team

About Daniel Kolenda

Daniel Kolenda is a modern missionary evangelist who has led more than 10-million people to Christ face-to face through massive open-air evangelistic campaigns in some of the most dangerous, difficult and remote locations on earth. As the successor to world renowned Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Daniel is the president and CEO of Christ for All Nations; a ministry which has conducted some of the largest evangelistic events in history, has published over 190 million books in 104 languages and has offices in 10 nations around the world. He also hosts an internationally syndicated television program.
Daniel is a gifted, fifth-generation preacher whose ministry is marked by a powerful evangelistic anointing and incredible miracles after the model of Jesus; preaching, teaching and healing. The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear — he has even seen the dead raised — but most importantly, the poor have the gospel preached to them. It is this single minded Gospel emphasis that makes the ministry of Daniel Kolenda and Christ for all Nations so unique.
Daniel is a graduate of Southeastern University on Lakeland, Florida and the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in Pensacola, Florida, but his greatest education has come from the years of ministry side-by-side with his mentor and spiritual father Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. Together they have circled the globe preaching the Gospel and continue to do so as a single-minded team with great effectiveness.
As a previous successful pastor and church planter Daniel holds a tireless commitment, and dedication to the Church. More than half of the cost of every evangelistic campaign is invested in a “follow-up” system to see every convert become a faith-filled, fearless, disciple of Christ and member of a local church.
Daniel, with his wife Rebekah and their children, Elijah, Gloria, and London, reside in the Orlando area.

KENYA: PASTOR IMPREGNATE HIS 15 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER


Pastor peter kyengo in court for defiling child


Daughter - Dad said ‘Holy Spirit’ led him to have sex with me 

Peter Kyengo, the Njiru pastor who allegedly defiled and impregnated his 15-year-old daughter, has been arrested. His story featured in the last edition of The Nairobian. We revealed how furious Nairobians tried to set him ablaze for allegedly forcing his daughter to procure an abortion. The 60-year-old senior pastor of Jesus Light of Your Life Church in Njiru was, according to police, arrested at a popular prayer mountain in Katoloni, Machakos and charged in court with incest. A police statement reveals that Kyengo started defiling his daughter in 2012 when she was in class eight. He allegedly approached her claiming “the Holy Spirit” had revealed to him that she was sleeping with unknown men and that he needed to confirm it. He then allegedly defiled her that first time and continued for two years, threatening her with death if she revealed their little secret to anyone. The daughter would only speak on March 25 after discovering she was pregnant. The fully-packed court heard that the preacher advised his daughter to get abortion tablets from a friend. Luckily, the friend she approached leaked the information to the public and went for the pastor’s neck but he went into hiding for four months, until May 30.

MUNGU ANAWEZA! HATIMAYE MCHUNGAJI ALIYEHUKUMIWA MIAKA 30 JELA AACHIWA

 Huyu ndiye Mch. Daniel Mwasumbi aliyekuwa amehukumiwa miaka 30 jela, lakini yuko huru kwa msaada wa Mungu.

Baadhi ya magazeti yalivyoandika habari hiyo, siku alipo hukumiwa



Imekuwa ni siku ya furaha na shangwe kwa familia, marafiki pamoja na ndugu na jamaa wa Mchungaji Mwasumbi aliyekuwa akikabiliwa na tuhuma za Kubaka na kisha kuhukumiwa miaka 30 jela, na sasa yuko huru.
Ninawashukuru wote ambao walisimama bega kwa bega kusimama katika zamu ya Maombi. Ninapenda kuwataarifu kuwa kupitia taarifa ya habari napia ukurasa wa Facebook wa rafiki yetu Mtoto wa Mchungaji Mwasumbi Gama Daniel Mwasumbi ametujuza kuwa Baba Yao ameshinda Rufaa Yake na Sasa yuko nje ya Gereza.
Mchungaji huyu anaondoka gerezani huku akiwa ameacha Kanisa ndani ya Gereza ambalo alikuwa amelianzisha mnamo mwaka jana mwezi Julai alipokuwa amehukumiwa kifungo hicho. Mchungaji Mwasumbi atakuwa akiwahudumia Wafungwa Kila Jumapili kama mojawapo ya Branch Ya kanisa.

UMUHIMU WA KUJIUNGA NA CHAMA CHA MUZIKI WA INJILI TANZANIA



Mkutano wa waimbaji,wanamuziki na wadu wa muziki wa Injili uliofanyika mwaka juzi katika hoteli ya wanyama iliyopo Sinza, Dar. Kongamano hilo lilikua lilifadhiliwa na mfuko wa jamii NSSF





 Ziara ya uongozi wa chama cha muziki wa Injili na wadau wengine, kuwatembelea watoto yatima huko mkuranga


 Uongozi wa chama cha muziki wa Injili walipomtembelea mzee Makasy

                                         Ziara ya kuhamasisha chama mikoani

Uongozi wa chama cha muziki wa injili wakimpongeza Bw. Msama

Mmoja wa wanachama, Bw. Magida Timotheo akiwa ameshikilia katiba ya chama



Moja ya sababu za msingi kutuweka pamoja waimbaji na wanamuziki wa injili, ili tuwe na sauti moja katika kutetea na kusimamia haki za waimbaji/wanamuziki na kila anayehusika na muziki wa injili nchini na pia ni agizo la serikali kwamba, waliona kwa sababu muziki wa injili unauzwa dukani kama miziki mingine kwa hiyo kitu chochote kikishauzwa dukani lazima kiwe na sheria zake na kikishakuwa na sheria zake lazima kiwe na haki na wale wanaofanya zile kazi wawezekujua faida zake na wawezekufaidika na zile kazi zao
Pia ni kwamba baada ya kuona sanaa ya muziki inakua kwa kasi hivyo ikaonekana kuna umuhimu wa kuwepo na shirikisho la muziki Tanzania kama vile ilivyo shirikisho la mpira (TFF). Hivyo basi shirikisho hilo lianundwa na vyama vilivyosajiliwa. Najua vipo vikundi vingi vinavyounda umoja wa waimbaji kutoka makundi ya aina fulani ya muziki, lakini ukweli ni kwamba, vyama vya muziki vinavyotambuliwa na serikali ni vile vilivyosajiliwa kihalali na kupewa kibali kupitia Basata (Baraza la sanaa la taifa), na moja kati ya vyama vyenye kibali cha serikali ni chama cha muziki wa Injili Tanzania (CHAMUITA) chenye usajili: BST 4598  .  Najua waimbaji wa injili nchini wakiwemo wanamuziki, maproducer na wapenzi wa nyimbo za injili wanaweza kuwa na maswali mengi kuhusu chama hiki, pia kuwepo na hali ya kusitasita kujiunga, lakini huko tunakoelekea kuna watu watajua umuhimu wa kujiunga na chama. Si vibaya kuhoji, lakini ipo katiba inayotambulika na serikali, hivyo basi ni wajibu wa kila mwanachama hai kuwa na nakala ya katiba hiyo.
Ni wito wangu kwa kila mtu anayehusika na muziki wa injili Tanzania, uwe mwimbaji, mwanamuziki, mwinjilisti, mchungaji, producer, Mc na mpenzi wa muziki wa injili, kujiunga na chama na kuwa na kitambulisho chake halali kama mwanachama wa muziki wa injili Tanzania. Lakini pia ikumbukwe jambo peekee alilolisema yesu muda mfupi kabla hajapaa mbinguni, aliagiza upendo. Hivyo sioni sababu ya waimbaji kutokuwa wamoja, kutokupendanda, kuweka matabaka, kutokubebana na kuinuana. Ebu tuamke, tusiishie kuandaa matamasha ya kujipatia pesa, lakini tusimame katika agizo kuu la kuwaleta watu kwa Yesu. Tunaweza kabisa kuandaa mikutano mikubwa ya injili na makongamano, tunaweza kabisa kutenga muda wa kufunga na kuomba pamoja; na huu ndio wakati, tusisubiri kusikia tu habari mbaya za mpendwa mwezetu na kuzishabikia, tumeagizwa upendao!
Chama cha Muziki wa Injili kilianzishwa mwaka 2011,Uongozi wa chama cha Muziki wa Injili Tanzania, Mwenyekiti ni Addo November, katibu anayekaimu ni John Shabani,katibu mwenezi ni Stella Joel,Mwekahazina ni Upendo Kilahilo.. Idadi ya wanachama waliojiunga kwa Dar es Salaam wanakaribia kuwa elfu nane, Morogoro na Pwani ni mia tatu na Arusha na Kilamanjaro viongozi ndo wanahamasisha wanachama kujiunga ...Tuna kanda kama nne ambazo zinaviongozi kanda ya kaskazini inayojumuisha Tanga,Kilimanjaro,Arusha na Manyara mwkt ni Samweli Nungwana katibu ni Anne Annie,Morogoro na Pwani kiongozi ni Ester mwamboma na wengine,Kanda ya ziwa kiongozi ni Jacob Mutashi na Kanda kusini pia wapo viongozi wao. Jinsi ya kujiunga kwenye chama cha muziki wa injili kuna Ada ya uanachama utajiandikisha kwa Tsh 20000/= na utatengeneza kitambulisho kizuri kwa Tsh 10000/= kwa hiyo ni muhimu sana waimbaji na wanamuziki wa injili Tanzania wakajiunga kama unavyojua mwanachama hai ni yule anaelipa Ada ya kila mwaka, ukishalipa ada unakuwa na sauti ndani ya chama unakuchagua au kuchaguliwa na unaweza kufaidika na faida zote zinazotokana na Chama cha Muziki Wa Injili Tanzania.
