Charlotte, NC –

We are truly excited about a new partnership that has formed between With Open Eyes and International Cooperating Ministries. Our focus is to equip and mobilize pastors to better enable them to evangelize and disciple, while ICM has been building churches around the world for the last 22 years. With ICM’s history and experience, they are able to identify some of their partners who could serve as Mobile Messengers and help take the gospel from just one church to thousands in a particular region. On the flip side, our Mobile Messenger Directors are able to identify congregations that are in need of a permanent structure and through effective communication, we can partner to build more churches and add more Mobile Messengers to advance the Kingdom around the world.

To “kick this off”, we have added (with the the help of ICM) four Mobile Messengers and soon to be a fifth. What was three pastors working with us in Africa, has now turned into eight on the ground. These pastors are continuing to grow the ministry in Sudan and Kenya, while the others are helping us expand our reach in Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania, all in the last three months! It is exciting to see in a short amount of time, what the Lord has done and the lives that have truly been transformed.

If that wasn’t enough, we are walking alongside our Mobile Messengers and ICM to help build two churches in Kenya and three churches in Tanzania. This will no doubt prove to grow the body of Christ and expand the reach of our Mobile Messengers. There is an excitement among our pastors at what possibilities lie ahead through this great relationship.

What a joy it is for us to serve these pastors and to serve the ministry of ICM. May the Lord continue to open doors so that together, we may reach more souls for Christ. Thank you again for your continued prayers and support.

As you know, Our Executive Director, Josh Livingston, is currently traveling with the ICM team in Uganda and Kenya. Yesterday, Kampala, Uganda was bombed, currently being blamed on Somali rebels.

The ICM team had left Kampala the day before and was unaffected by the attack. YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS ARE COVETED. Please pray for the safety of the team, and that God would be glorified through their obedience and effort.

After being in a cast for 2 weeks, Kamal is now walking on his own with NO assistance. Praise the Lord! What a testimony. His son still at his side, Kamal has been very dedicated to his therapy. As we last informed you, Kamal had been walking with a walker and continuing physical therapy. On June 28th, he began to walk with minimal support for short distances. Since then, he suffered a few set backs, not feeling very well. The doctors were not able to find anything specific, and a few days later, he was able to continue his therapy. On July 1st, after wearing a cast for two weeks on his left foot, KAMAL BEGAN WALKING WITHOUT HIS WALKER!

We are so grateful for the medical team that has been a part of this special man’s life. Kamal requests prayer daily with his medical team to THANK GOD for his progress. Keep Kamal, his family and his medical team in your prayers!

The children of Central Church at Lake Park, a satellite campus of Central Church of God, acted quickly on our request for Bibles for children in the village of Lui, and hosted a community yard sale which raised over $1280!

So far, we have 1500 Bibles and are working hard to reach our goal of 5000! Thank you Central Church at Lake Park – we are extremely grateful for your support!

For more information on how you can help, email us at info@withopeneyes.net.

Jakes

Since joining With Open Eyes in February, God has opened several doors that allow me to share who we are and how the Lord is using our team to grow His kingdom. Although our current impact and projects certainly bless many, the main question I usually get is how we were started, how it all began. Many of you may have read the brief paragraph in our ‘About Us’ page but it really started before that. It began with the stirring of a heart and an act of obedience.

A man’s heart reflects the man. Proverbs 27:19
I believe your heart represents the source of all your motivations – what you love to do and what you care about the most. That being said, I believe that what is in your heart defines what you are, not what others think you are or what circumstances force you to be. Your heart is the REAL YOU. It determines why you feel the way you do, why you act the way you do and why you care about the things you care about. Another word for heart is passion and those things that interest us determine the nature of our hearts. It was my heart that led me to With Open Eyes and every day I learn more about the hearts of the people that God is bringing together in this ministry.

Our Founder and Board Chairman, Frank Harrison, was invited to speak at Muldoon Christian Assembly in Anchorage, Alaska over Father’s Day weekend. Frank’s success in business and leadership is one that other business owners admire greatly. I encourage you to take a little time to copy and paste this link to your URL bar and listen as he shares his story, a powerful testimony of the ingredients to success, both personally and professionally and how through his heart and obedience, our ministry was started.
