📖 "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12

In partnership with faithful local pastors, we are witnessing the power of God's Word to transform lives. This pastor, one of our valued partners, stands rooted in the truth of Scripture, knowing that it is more than just words on a page. It is the living, active Word of God, bringing life, healing, and direction to those who hear it. 🙏🏾

We believe in the strength of local leadership. Our work is led by those within the community, grounded in the Word, and dedicated to seeing His Kingdom come.

Join us in this mission. Whether through prayer, support, or sharing this message, you can be part of the work God is doing through local leaders to bring life in abundance to those in need.

The Seeds of Generosity training was launched to encourage generosity, undo dependency, and break the cycle of poverty.

It's inspiring to see how our Ugandan pastors have been transformed through this training. One pastor shared; ⬇️

"The Seeds of Generosity training has opened our eyes to see things we had not seen before. From building a bigger church with small offerings to children becoming missionaries in their own families, this training has sparked a great change. When we come together and share, there’s no limit to the great things we can achieve." 🌱

A quote from the Blessed United Grace Pastors' Fellowship in Kiritiri, Kenya:

"Each pastor has a different grace from one another that the Lord has given them."

Join us in celebrating the unique gifts and callings of our devoted leaders. How can you encourage your pastors and church leadership this week? 🫶🏾

Dr. Florence's greetings from her recent trip to Rwanda: 🇷🇼

Festus and I have enjoyed visiting the LIA - Rwanda team, and are deeply moved by the testimonies and transformation unfolding there.

The strides the team has made in their programs and capacity are extraordinary. We are thrilled to share that they have recently purchased a fully paid-for office building from their savings—a testament to their hard work and dedication! This three-bedroom house is not just a new office; it’s a symbol of the remarkable progress and impact they’re achieving in their community.

In Matthew 6:26, Jesus speaks of God's faithful provision for all His creatures: "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" 🕊

Reflect on the Lord's care for your life. How have you seen God's goodness this week?

Join us in prayer for South Sudan's peace and stability: 🙏

-Pray for the peace agreement to be fully implemented and for Godly leaders to be elected in December 2024.
-Ask God to make South Sudan a nation that fears Him, free from corruption and tribalism.
-Pray for the church to be strengthened as they share the gospel and empower communities.

Let's come together in intercession, believing that God will provide abundantly. 🙌

Just as farmers diligently store up hay for the year, preparing for the challenges ahead, we too must store up God's word in our hearts for when times get tough. 🌾

In times of abundance and in times of hardship, His word sustains us and gives us strength. Proverbs 10:14 says: "The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin."

By meditating on Scripture, we equip ourselves to be steadfast and fruitful, ready to face whatever comes our way.

🌟 "The Kingdom of God is what we all hunger for above all other things even when we don’t know its name or realize that it’s what we’re starving to death for." – Frederick Buechner 🌟

At LIA, we understand this deep longing within each of us. Our goal is to come alongside local churches to communicate how God's love, hope, and transformative power can fulfill this hunger.

🌿 John 15:5 says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." 🌿

At Life In Abundance International, we believe that true transformation and abundant life come from being deeply rooted in Christ. Just as branches cannot thrive without the vine, our lives flourish when we are grounded in Him.

By staying connected to Christ, our source of strength and purpose, we can bear abundant fruit.🌟

From Kenya to Haiti, tea is a part of daily life. ☕
️
More than just a beverage, it fosters community and celebrates culture. It's a moment to pause, give thanks to God, and connect with those around you.

Today, we encourage you to pour yourself a cup.

Life In Abundance International has grown into an organization that the Lord is using to defeat poverty and restore dignity. But the adventure didn’t start there. At the heart of LIA’s history is a twenty-year-old girl from Kenya committed to pursuing God’s calling and following His purpose for her life.

If you enjoyed reading "The Pursuit of His Calling" by LIA’s beloved Founder, Dr. Florence Muindi, check out her next book co-authored with Charlie Vittiow!

Our founder, Dr. Florence Muindi, emphasizes the vital role of the local church:

“The local church is the hero. They have become the change agents for the work that we do. It’s seeing churches in Africa and the Caribbean mobilized, trained, and engaged in partnerships — partnerships that are so transformative — that helps us realize that God is at work. ✨

It’s only God who could bring these together, and it’s such a joy to see communities transformed by churches that have risen and entered into communities in ways that are so unimaginable.”

In what ways, do you see God working through your local church? ⛪️

Join us in praying for Haiti! 🇭🇹

➡️ Pray that armed groups in Haiti would cease persecuting citizens and that local leaders would make necessary interventions to restore order.

➡️ Praise God that LIA - Haiti could give First Aid training to church leaders and school teachers. We also praise God for the opportunity to continue serving patients at the LIA Clinic with love and care during this difficult time.

➡️ Pray that church leaders and LIA staff will be strengthened as they continue to serve. May God work through them to bring about lasting change and transformation among their communities.

In "Teach a Man to Fish," Dr. Florence Muindi and Charlie Vittiow highlight the importance of moving beyond Relief Aid. While essential in emergencies, it's only a temporary fix. True transformation comes from empowering communities to create sustainable solutions through “wholistic transformational development.”

This approach:
✨ Gives dignity to “the least of these”
✨ Addresses the root causes of poverty
✨ Empowers the vulnerable within their communities

Life In Abundance has a diverse staff spread across 17 countries. 🌍

Nations, tribes, and ethnicities are blended into a very international team, but we are all bound by Christ and our mission to serve the poor and vulnerable.

How beautiful and life-transforming when we dwell in unity!

In 2023, Life In Abundance mobilized 72 churches in Africa and the Caribbean. ⛪ ️

Now, those churches are equipped to serve their communities and wholistically meet the needs of those in their midst.

Long after we leave a community, these local churches will remain, passing God's peace and spreading the hope of the gospel that the world desperately craves. ✨

Last April, amidst the war in Sudan, four young individuals – Nour, David, Mohammed, and an unnamed friend – made the difficult decision to flee to Egypt. From the loss of funds to the passing of their friend, the boys’ journey was marked by hardship and challenges. 🙏

Their arrival in Cairo brought little relief, with high costs for food and accommodation. Despite their dire circumstances, God made a way. They encountered unexpected kindness and support that restored their hope.

Discover how the Lord led them to a new chapter in Egypt. Check out our most recent blog post. ⬇️

For youth in poverty, school fees can seem like a giant hurdle preventing them from attending school. 📚

Life In Abundance sees this need and desires to support students struggling to get an education by planning times for church leaders and/or members of local churches to mentor young people in different savings groups.

This support gives them the resources to assess their savings, take out loans, and start small income-generating activities. Selling livestock, vegetables, and fruit provides a way to purchase school materials and pay the required fees so youth can continue learning and training for their futures.
