THE HEARTCRY OF A MISSIONARY THAT LACK SUPPORT

Bonjour, Jean Marc. Communicating through you, to ECC and CBFC; - What had gone wrong on my side, since 2010/ 2014 until today?

1. Many promises were made to me, by Christians (churches/ organizations/ NGOs such as Soccer Ministry) to push me in front and get a report on the DR Congo. Then they left me and turned their back on the Congo River Mission Gospel initiative.

2. I was too ambitious to try and correct these disappointments since 2004 already, and tried to get a sending action between the Dutch Reformed Church, Apostolic Faith Mission and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. (Roman Catholic church never really wanted to talk to me.) These laborious efforts imploded harshly, to a zero level.

3. The cultural and environmental  differences between Afrikaans South Africans and Congolese overwhelmed me in body, soul and spirit. "The river between" as Pastor Jean Wawina used to say.

4. In 2014, my effort to reach Kisangani by road via Burundi, Uvira and Bukavu discouraged me and those who tried to send me. Rebel activity remains a big problem to tourism, church, missions and investment!

5. I then did studies from end 2014 until early 2020 ... then the Plandemic intervened and slowed down church and missions worldwide.

6. It is now June 2024. I still work at mobilising for Mission to the Congo (Congo River Mission). Currently I talk to the Reformation Action in the Dutch Reformed Church of SA, the Baptist World Alliance and Frontline Mission SA.

7. What I need is $3k to get to Kisangani and at least $100 church support per month to be able to complete a 3 year (proposed) church planting and Pastor training model and to work/ mobilise with the local church in Kisangani (using Veritas College Bible study methodology for contextual Scripture interpretation. Farming God's Way is an "add on" for isolated communities along the Congo River and its tributaries, to help to reduce slash and burn and bushmeat trade.

8. Lastly, people in the (Christian?) "West" continue to fear the Congo, it's history, it's wars and it's trauma. The Church in general seemingly do not fear God and trust Jesus enough yet, to come back to the eastern DRC with the Full Gospel of Peace.

I repeat my availability to be called to a CBFC church in Kisangani for three years Congo River Mission methodology and service. (Tentmaker options, Business as Mission and Bi-Vocational ministry options must be investigated in Kisangani, to reduce financial burdens on the congregations in Kisangani and the imploded economy in South Africa.)

Dieu te bénisse.

In our next video promotion campaign we will share a video that I Downloaded from the net.

Originally this was a discussion about the Book of JK Scheindlin - THE PEOPLE AGAINST MUHAMMAD.

After the video was screened on Islamic TV, a Muslim man started responding life on the video, commenting on the book and what he learnt there about the prophet of Islam. He makes a lot of honest remarks, things that are very sensitive issues about their prophet and that nobody ever dare to say openly in the Islamic world without being in big trouble. Although the producer tried to stop the conversation on the video, it was all recorded and published and available to look today.

I seems to be a very challenging video; by far the strongest challenge to Muslims about their faith that I ever saw. Hopefully this will open many Muslim eyes for the truth.

One can view this video here... https://youtu.be/5GNn4mr6duc?si=vPMR7YD3NN1-do6i

1. Introduction of KoFie-project

 

1. Introducing KoFie-Project’s Ministry among Muslims during Ramadan 2024

 

1) WHAT IS KOFIE- PROJECT?

Kingdom Focus - KoFie-project 

KoFie.Project = Koninkryksfokus Internet Evangelisasie.  

(read more about our KoFie.Project here)

In our Ministry we share the Gospel on Social Media (Facebook, WhatsApp, X (or Twitter) and lately with YouTube videos.)

2) WHY DO WE ALSO FOCUS ON MUSLIMS?

Yes, one of the many people groups that we focus on in our ministry is Muslims. Why?

★Numbers: Muslims are the largest one most unreached religious Group. Fact is that 1,8 Billion people adhere to Islam worldwide – 1 out of every 4 people.

★The Great Commission: That remain the most important task of the Church: To share the Gospel to all nations. Muslims are part of the unreached people block – as they are “unreached” with the Gospel to a great extent.

★Ignorance of the Church: Although few Christians have a real interest in Muslims and Islam Evangelism, Islam is very much interested in us - in you and me! They have their plan for the whole world and Islam has an increasing influence on world events. Many Christians are ignorant about the Islam religion; believe the lie that Islam is a religion of peace and think it is just another choice in serving the Lord.

★Why we also focus on Muslims? Most importantly - for the Glory and honour of God. Not only does Islam put their Allah in the place of Almighty God but they fully reject the deity of Jesus Christ and the truth of the Gospel according to the Bible.

I recently asked our Fellow Online Missionaries to Muslims on our WhatsApp Groups for their input about the  reasons why we must get involved in Muslim evangelism. 

All of them agreed to the following reasons:

(1) The reasons as list above: (a) Numbers (b) Great Commission (c) Ignorance of the Church (d) The Glory of God

(2) The other important reason (which I realize can be very contentious), is as follows...             

When studying the History and Beliefs of Islam in general, especially Political Islam, one get convinced that this Religions' followers (although most of them see themselves under the umbrella of “Islam is a Religion of Peace”) are the most vulnerable group to develop in a very dangerous cult that can become a great danger, not only for themselves (think “Suicide bombs”), but also for the future of the freedom of religion in the Western / Christian civilization. Wherever they come in any form of power and control (just think Hamas and Palestine during the past months) and the increasing unrest in Europe, this became reality).

No, not that I at all want to influence anybody in a conviction of Islamophobia, but one must help the so many people that are ignorant about the subject and naively continue to believe that Islam is (only) a religion of Peace, to open their eyes for reality and if needed, to wake them up to the real world where we are living in. Fact is, without realizing and considering this, we will be unable to meet our goal of sharing the gospel effectively to the greater world, especially the Muslim world.

3) HOW TO REACH MUSLIMS (STUCKED UNDER THE SATANIC  ISLAMIC CULTURE OF OPPRESSION AND FEAR)

It is well known that the best method for a Christian to reach out to Muslims is to build a friendship relation until one gets an opportunity to share your faith. Unfortunately, this is very challenging and time consuming and it is nearly impossible to win Muslims in large numbers when thinking about the millions that will never get such an opportunity to ever meet a Christian.

★Fortunately, with the availability of the Internet and Social Media today, one can easily reach many Muslims all over the world to initiate relationships and conversations.

That is what we focus on doing! (Read the more extended article on our Blog here)

From the main points are…

(1) WHAT (NOT) TO SHARE IN A CONVERSATION WITH MUSLIMS:

(2) THE MAIN FOCUS OF OUR APPROACH.

A Short summary of some selected points:

-         Not to get involved in a debate, but rather to ask questions

-         Questioning the truth of three main topics (their Book, their man and their history, like Mecca)

-         Share powerful testimonies of Ex-Muslims

-         Share the truth of the Gospel

-         Most Importantly … Prayer and the Holy Spirit, the only One that can open and change minds and hearts.

-         People always ask: Any success?

The Good News is… (not always directly connected to our own Ministry, but overall), it’s happening all the time. There is an increasing number of Muslims that leave Islam lately. All the Glory to God.

2.2. Some of the most viewed video’s on our Channel with the number of views and responses:

          - Our Newest Video: Muslims believe that everybody born in a garage must be a Ferrari (1 K views after 4 days; already 18 responses)

2.3. Our Challenges with the Video’s:

The challenge with our new initiative with producing YouTube videos is not only in the making of the video, but especially in the promotion of the video’s to be viewed by the correct people in great numbers. Without special promotion campaigns (focusing on the correct people groups, countries and languages) our video’s won’t succeed in the number of people viewed it.

Unfortunately such promotion campaigns of videos cost a lot of money, but the success rate is quite satisfactory (as can be seen by the numbers viewed at each video, and the number of people responded with comments or questions.)

During our next news report, I will mention ways of how to practically get involved in our Ministry, more than just support our efforts financially.  (Yes, any donation will be used as an investment in reaching more viewers; Click on Donate/Support )

3.2. REMEMBER TO DAILY PRAY FOR MUSLIMS.

💢Generally for All Muslims, stuck in their religion of pride, hate, self-saving efforts of good works, but full of fear and without any certainty that their sins are forgiven and when they do enough to please their god Allah.

💢 Pray DAILY for at least 3 Muslims by Name as the Holy Spirit leads you. (If you don’t know any name, join me in praying for “Moosa”, an “ex-Christian”?, turning Muslim)
