Thank you to all of those that support Alignment Ministries. When you do so you help Pastor Thomas Alute. God is greatly using him and I thought you might like to hear some of his facebook messages that he sends me. These are just exact copies of his messages.


Pray for Susan ekai a single mother of three , standing next to me on my right, living in a rental house depending on casual labor, but in her life of despair Christ shared His love through the gospel we shared I'm my visitation with brother Dismas on my left visiting our her friend a church member Esther on the far right. our Lord's love is a great comfort to such lives.praise God for that.


Meshack is a welder in the garage where I normally take my car owned by whycliffe    a Christian brother from one of the churches we fellowship together ,so whycliffe invited us for lunch today a stew chicken and common corn meal, so in our culture we are used to be on same table round sharing the meal ,so I counted it an opportunity to share the gospel with Meshack who has been shying away from me .so I ask if he enjoyed the meal ,he answerers in positive my next question could it be good one day we share together like this in heaven? His answer is it would be great.the third question do you know what can course we meet one day in heaven?he doesn't know, so I get my new testament and in twenty minutes Meshack gladly asks Christ to forgive him and give him the new life,he is so happy.his eyes not good from the welding I need get bold worded bible for him to keep reading and grow in the Lord.
