Will You Share In their Joy?
In our comfortable Western culture, it is often difficult to comprehend the need that exists throughout the rest of the world. The enormity of the realization that there are millions of people who live without such basic necessities as water and food is overwhelming. Yet even more staggering is the joy that can exist in such communities through the miracle of God’s love and the effort of giving.
HaMoreh Ministries has experienced this joy firsthand through our ongoing efforts in East Africa. Since the formation of HaMoreh in 2006, our non-profit corporation has been dedicated to bringing help, hope, and joy to our struggling brothers and sisters in Africa. HaMoreh is translated “the teacher,” and is based on the Hebrew of Job 36:22, “Behold, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?” It is the heart and the hope of this ministry to be used by God in helping people around the world to enjoy God more through being transformed by the renewing of their minds.
HaMoreh Ministries exists to be used by God in glorifying Jesus Christ through the power of His Holy Spirit. We believe that God is most supremely glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. Therefore, our passion and purpose is to labor with God in bringing all nations to worship Jesus Christ. We seek to evangelize the lost and to educate Christians. Our aim is to be used by the Holy Spirit in helping others not to be conformed to the thinking of our present age but to be transformed by the Holy Spirit’s renewing of their minds so that they may live out the will of God in obedience and ever increasing joy.
We have already begun to invest in lives with the help of others
who share our vision. In 2006, HaMoreh donated $15,000 to Daystar University’s Bible department in Nairobi for the purchase of new computer equipment. HaMoreh was also able to provide $10,000 of Daystar University student scholarships. Another $15,000 went towards partial scholarships for the entire student body of the Kenya Baptist Theological College (KBTC) in Limuru. Additionally, HaMoreh assisted in funding the building of a student dormitory for the college and in funding faculty salaries.
Founders Jamie and Mimi Johns have given freely of their time and talents. In 2006, Jamie taught as a missionary faculty member at Daystar University as well as the KBTC, sharing both the Old and New Testaments with over 200 students. While in Africa, Jamie maintained a full preaching schedule, preaching for thousands of Africans throughout Kenya. Mimi’s heartfelt love of service led her to spend weekdays in the library of Daystar University, restoring books so that students could again use them. This year, HaMoreh has already delivered over 3,100 biblical studies volumes to the KBTC, where books are limited and greatly needed.
In 2007, Jamie and Mimi continue to teach and provide leadership in Africa, teaching an Old Testament course as well as tutoring and mentoring other faculty members at Daystar University and the KBTC. Jamie continues his full preaching schedule across Kenya. Moreover, HaMoreh has teamed up with Food for the Hungry and Africa Leadership and Reconciliation Ministries this year to provide aid to those stricken by poverty and starvation, shining the light of God’s love into even the darkest and most desperate situations. This summer, some of Jamie’s American university students and other friends from the United States have traveled to Kenya and have joined in HaMoreh’s ministry efforts there.
The need is great, and we are eager to serve. By His grace, HaMoreh has already made great strides in 2007. In addition to the library donations to the KBTC, $25,000 of new notebook computers, Bible software, and more textbooks have been delivered to Daystar University and the KBTC. This year we are providing full scholarships, including room and board, ($7,500 each) to Daystar University for seven students from various parts of Africa. Through the generosity of those willing to give funds or volunteer time, we hope to provide still more resources for these and other Christian schools in Africa. Jamie is planning to begin a similar mission in India in the near future.
The impact of HaMoreh’s efforts is well beyond the material. “Most of all, we thank you for your ministry to our students - your example and friendship have blessed all of us” writes an official from Daystar University in a letter of thanks. Above all, this is our aim: to exalt our Lord by sharing His loving example with others.
Join us as we strive to glorify Jesus Christ through the power of His Holy Spirit. Help us to labor with God as we bring hope and joy to those in need, half a world away. We invite you to prayerfully consider how you might help us fulfill our mission. The need is great, but we are trusting in God’s faithful provision. HaMoreh seeks those with a servant’s heart to support us on our journey, walking with God as He transforms His children, one mind at a time.
