Christian Temple Ministerial Administration

Brother Mikoka has been busily working establishing a new CTMA mission in Burundi. The pictures below were taken during the CTMA first introduction in Burundi. The picture above shows one of CTMA’s office workers at the new desk purchased for the CTMA office in Burundi. The families of Christian Temple praise the Lord with each report of Brother Mikoka’s efforts and expenditure’s for the sake of establishing the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the hearts of saints thorughout the country of Africa. We look forward to celebrating the newly established Burundi mission’s launching in July of this year. Please remember Brother Mikoka and the fellow laborers who are on the front lines of evanglical and missionary endeavors in Africa.

Brother Mikoka has faithfully and diligently established  CTMA braches throughout the regions of Africa. The Lord has greatly multiplied the fruits of his labors, and souls are being reached for the cause of Christ. CTMA is a vital ministerial arm of Christian Temple Church and we are ever grateful for the steadfastness of Brother Mikoka’s dedication to the furtherance of the Gospel.

Brother Mikoka has submitted his Visa  for approval to the US Consulate in Burundi in hopes of joining Christian Temple Churchfor the annual campmeeting in May. Please pray that the consulate will favor Brother Mikoka’s request and allow him to visit the USA!  The Lord willing, while Brother Mikoka is in the USA he will share what the Lord is doing in Africa with the church in North Carolina and our affiliate church, Grace Temple Church of Athens,Georgia.

Prayer Request
Dear friends, we have a special prayer request for our friend Pastor Jean-Claude Mikoka. Brother Mikoka is a fellow missionary, affiliate Pastor and associate who is the head of our missionary endeavors for Africa known as CTMA: Christian Temple Ministerial Association. Brother Mikoka is on the mission field right now distributing our literature and holding an evangelistic meeting in Congo. Currently, there is some trouble with his documentation, so the government is detaining him in Kigali, Rwanda. Pastor Jean-Claude has a seminar scheduled in Congo, and the detainment is interfering with the seminar schedule. Join us in a prayer of faith, believing that God will move in Pastor Jean-Claude’s behalf. Pray that God will make away for him; opening up the flood gates of heaven and blessing him. There is always a financial need there; we try our best to share what we can with him. If God would lay it on your heart to share with him, write me and I will give you his information. We have had problems with the Government of Kenya, so we usually wire him finances by Western Union, it doesn’t cost much. We are able to make sure that he gets it that way. I apologize if it sounds like I’m pleading for this brother, because I’m not. I’m just offering you an opportunity to sow into the Kingdom of God. He is going on with or without your help- or mine. The main purpose of this note is to pray for our Brother in the Lord. He has proven to be faithful and honest over the past few years. He is partakers with us in our endeavors to win souls- and us with him. Our desire for Africa is to win souls to the Lord Jesus Christ. We spend thousands upon thousands of dollars tin Africa to put literature into the hands of the people. I’m not talking about supporting a Pastor or Missionary; I’m talking just the expense of printed literature and shipping cost. God blesses us in a mighty way. We receive no finances out of Africa and we don’t ask. We are not a business we are a ministry. Again, I’m sorry to even bring up finances, but the Bible teaches us that true and undefiled religion is taking care of the widows and the orphans. Most of you know that, that has worked with me over the years. The scripture says, that you’ve never seen the righteous forsaken, nor their seed begging for bread. Again, I only made mention of it, for your opportunity. I can say that there shouldn’t be a need for me to apologize for giving you the opportunity to share, but I see in the ministry, in this day and hour, that money is more important then pleasing God. I just don’t want to be numbered with the hirelings and the greedy. So, this is something I don’t normally do, and again the main purpose for this note is to pray. We have many endeavors going on here at Christian Temple, so please keep us in your prayers. The Bible commands us to “pray without ceasing”. “Pray continually”, “pray always”. Thank you again. If you would like to send Pastor Jean-Claude Mikoka a e-mail of encouragement and personally think him for his mission endeavors, his e-mail address is: info_emmi@yahoo.fr You may also go to our website’s mission page and you can see what some of our endeavors are with Pastor Jean-Claude. www.ChristianTempleOnline.org
We are in the midst of making preparations to go to Mexico to help with a mission there. The mission is run by Pastor and Medical Doctor Jose Renya. Dr. Reyna is a wonderful brother, and we are looking forward to working on the medical clinic. Dr. Jose Renya made a vow to God that he would not charge for his medical practice. He offers his free services to many, many people. Please pray for him and his endeavor for Christ and pray for our trip there will be a blessing and a help to him. Please take this to heart. We believe there is power in prayer. We covet your prayers. We will have many on the road over the Christmas holiday. Thank you for considering us. May God Bless you and meet all of your needs according to his riches in Glory.

CTMA works in many countries within Africa and other continents. Christian Temple Church ministeries has currently transcribed and printed literature into many languages including swahili, spanish and french- with other translations in the process- for the sole purpose to reach more souls for Christ. All of our literature, books and audio teachings are distributed free of charge.
CTMA is blessed to have a brother such as Jean-Claude Mikoka on the field for the sake of spreading the Gospel message! It takes an entire team of fellow laborers to keep up with the zeal, enthusiasm and plans that the brother exudes!
Below is a chart of the countries, languages and people that CTMA has reached and distributed ministerial helps to in the last year. It takes all of us working together in unison to reach such a broad region for the Christ. We are excited about the contacts and affiliations that CTMA has established- and more importantly we are excited about the changes we see in the lives affected through these affiliations!

Below is an excerpt from Brother Mikoka’s letter written in May of this past year. Pastor Mikoka had requested a love offering to assist with feeding orphans. Here is the praise report of how God used Pastor Mikoka, a love offering and the dedication of hearts to win souls for the Cause of Christ!

Dear Pastor Rob,

Praise the Lord!I thank God for this opportunity to be in touch with you today. I hope that you are all doing well in the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been busy in the ministry work, and thank God for every thing. Pastor, I did note a word from one of your letters about the LOVE OFFERING. Gos has been speaking to me about the children feeding. And when I got the fund that you sent, the Holy Ghost reminded me about children issue. I have donated an amount for feeding 55 orphans including refugees from central Africa in our church on 18th of May.

Thereafter, I have been in the field for following up, and the Lord has helped… we won 25 souls to Christ through that feeding process. Praise the Lord! It was very wow! God has brought even the ones we fed in February to remove them from houses to come back to church. I thank the Lord for this program and you too for volunteering to on right time. God is faithful. It is really a great outreach, and the Lord confirmed me to do and I did.
May God bless those who contributed physically, morally, financially and also prayers for this fund to be found. I Thank your church (Christian Temple Church) too for accepting and understanding your ministry. Thank to your family for prayer support.
May God bless you. Yours in the Lord’s field,
Pastor Jean-Claude M.

The letter below was sent to Brother Rob from Pastor Mikoka in August. Please remember Bro. Mikoka in your prayers! He is daily encountering the enemy in his work for the Lord and is daily spreading the Gospel. The letter below is a great example of his enthusiasm, perseverance and the reason we need to keep his name before the throne of God.

Dear Pastor Rob,

Say hello to the Church, I love you all.

Africa’s Customs offices are holding 420 audio sermons on CD hostage! Christian Temple Church sent the CD’s free of charge to Pastors, Missionaries and Evangelists in Africa as ministerial helps. Initially, Africa’s Customs Office was requesting $1500.00 to release the CD’s. Customs has now reduced the price to $1 per CD. Please pray and believe with us that God will prepare the hearts of the Customs office to release these FREE materials to the ministers of Africa!
