Thank You for being a part of our JFM TEAM ~ It's Working |
|

JFM and Pastor Wachira would like to thank Don Piper Ministries and those who helped us purchase the 350 person tent which will be used for Outreach and Children's Ministries. We received donations of $3200 and we believe the last $300 is on the way! God Bless You!

We appreciate Powell Butte Christian Church's support of JFM by displaying pictures of our work in Kenya in their lobby. Working on the display brought back great memories of her Kenya trip for JFM Board Member Sharon Bergen.

Before heading to Washington we had a sweet reunion with our Pastors, Laura and Jack Dennis at Believers Cornerstone in Bend, Oregon.
We spent the week "On the Street" in beautiful Tacoma. We are thankful that we can take our "USA 5th Wheel Home" almost anywhere!
Wednesday the 17th we spoke at the Messiah Ministries fellowship in Tacoma, Washington with host Shirley Walker. The service ended at 1 a.m.! God answered prayers and ministered in a powerful way that evening. |

Trinity Church in Tacoma had a Motorcycle Car Show for Father's Day.
We were encouraged by Lead Pastor Rollie Simmons' message on Gideon, "A Man's Victory" is not dependent on NUMBERS OR YOUTH OR STRENGTH, but our victory is dependent upon God alone! Pastor Henry Lovely also prophesied great days ahead for JESUS FREES MINISTRIES!
Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your Name be the glory, because of Your love and faithfulness. ~Psalm 115:1
Our host, Shirley Walker, took us to a home fellowship where an Australian man, Pastor Ray Hannah, missionary to India, Uganda and KENYA, just "happened" to be speaking. His host, Dr. Jonathan Hansen, World Ministries International founder, has television and radio programs aired around the world and AN OFFICE IN NAIROBI, KENYA!
Another unexpected blessing of the evening was when the host told Mike there were men's clothes on the dining table and to take whatever he needed. Mike was blessed with some clothes from Nordstrom that looked like they were made for him!
Jesus said, "If our Heavenly Father clothes the lilies, how much more will he clothe us!"

Pictured is Bif Ferrell, Dr. Hansen of WMI, Doug Guyette (Film Editor) and Michael Freese.
Our Chelan Host, Bif Ferrell drove us up to the campus of World Ministries International where Dr. Hansen records his television and radio broadcasts. Dr. Hansen's ministry places him in front of leaders of countries around the World where he also has many Bible Colleges. Within the first 10 minutes Dr. Hansen and Cheryl realized they were in the same freshman class at Vanguard University (S.C.C.) in 1972!
Pastor Wachira will be recording a special television broadcast with Dr. Hansen which will air worldwide. |

While in Washington we met with Rich and Mary Watson to discuss short term mission trips to Kenya.
Thank you to Pastor Merv and Georgia Petersen for welcoming JESUS FREES MINISTRIES to share about the work in Kenya.

On July 9th Pastor Wachira safely arrived in Seattle. We had a little "Tail-Gate-Party" Fellowship in the Airport Parking Garage! We served him Kenya Style Tea and Prayed for a great time of ministry while he is in the States. |
