ON THE MISSION FIELD<\/span><\/h2>\n

I have been back on the mission field since October 2019. Since then, two young
\nmen have come to the Lord through People to People Feeding the Hungry. I thank
\nthe Lord for His serving grace. Both men were on drugs and living on the street.
\nPlease remember them in your prayers that they will stand and continue walking
\nwith the Lord. Their names are Yohana and Daniel. The feeding program is still
\nhappening every Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

TRAVELS ON THE FIELD<\/span><\/h2>\n

I expected to travel right away after arriving here. However, it didn\u2019t work the way
\nI thought due to heavy rains. Most roads in the country are not good during the
\nrainy season. Since I have been back here, it has been consistently raining off and
\non. I will travel to see the churches we need to finish as soon as the raining stops.<\/p>\n

PRAYER NEEDS<\/span><\/h2>\n

Please pray for the economy of Tanzania, traveling mercy as I travel back and forth
\nto finish building these churches, and the digging of a well at a place called Mvumi
\nMorogoro.<\/p>\n

Until next time, stay blessed.<\/p>\n

Please Remember: A MISSIONS PARNER IS A MIRACLE CANDIDATE.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

La injusticia en el \u00c1frica moderna<\/span><\/h2>\r\nJoe Delport - Director Regional de \u00c1frica del Sur<\/strong><\/em> Al considerar el tema de la IPHC, \"Valoramos con justicia la justicia\", quiero reflexionar sobre las muchas injusticias que prevalecen en el mundo donde vivo. La justicia, para muchas personas, se refiere a la justicia. Pero si bien la justicia es importante para casi todos, significa diferentes cosas para diferentes grupos. En \u00c1frica, la justicia parece ser lenta e injusta. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 las personas parecen tener que tolerar tantas desigualdades en la sociedad en la que viven? Un anciano, que vive en la calle de Johannesburgo, que tose y lucha por sobrevivir, se encuentra con miradas y burlas de los transe\u00fantes, pero nadie es lo suficientemente compasivo como para acudir en su ayuda. La estructura del gobierno social en el pa\u00eds est\u00e1 fallando debido a una financiaci\u00f3n inadecuada, a la corrupci\u00f3n, a la falta de preocupaci\u00f3n o a la espera de que empresas privadas externas o donantes llenen el vac\u00edo. Esta experiencia parece ser a trav\u00e9s de todas las fronteras en \u00c1frica. Los sistemas judiciales en \u00c1frica est\u00e1n llenos de leyes que protegen las injusticias de la sociedad, ya sea el maltrato infantil, la trata de personas o las atrocidades humanas. Pero, sin embargo, estas mismas leyes parecen estar solo en el papel y no se hacen cumplir en absoluto. Todos los d\u00edas escuchamos historias traumatizantes donde las personas son tratadas injustamente pero no tienen recurso a la justicia. Parece que si una persona m\u00e1s pobre o desfavorecida tiene menos posibilidades de disfrutar de las leyes favorables que fueron creadas para protegerla. Los aventajados son aquellos que son ricos, de alto perfil o estatus de celebridad. Como misionero, siempre me desaf\u00edan las injusticias que veo en mi rinc\u00f3n del mundo, que es muy frecuente. Incluso yo, en muchas ocasiones, soy incapaz de ayudar. El ap\u00f3stol Pablo hizo una declaraci\u00f3n en 1 Corintios 9:22 diciendo: \"Me he convertido en todo para que todos puedan, por todos los medios, salvar a algunos\". \u00c9l era celoso de llevar a la gente a Cristo. Aunque a menudo me siento impotente ante tantas injusticias en \u00c1frica, y me doy cuenta de que no puedo ser todo para todos, sigo siendo celoso de guiar a las personas hacia el conocimiento, la justicia y la esperanza de Jesucristo.","author_name":"Yasinta Mrema","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Missionary-NL-Featured-Image.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-UG","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
