Welcome to the Jim Harries' Mission
The good news of Jesus Christ, is that those who believe in him "shall not perish but have everlasting life". The shedding of the blood of Christ on the cross is forgiveness of sins for all those who believe in him.
That amazing news dominates my life. It is news that is hard to take on board. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to believe in. It is easy to doubt that we have been truly forgiven. Christ said "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (In the Bible, the Gospel about Jesus that was written by Matthew, Chapter 11 verse 28).
That fantastic news changed the world, and continues to challenge me deeply and continually. Surely that is news that I cannot keep to myself? Wouldn't that be selfish? Good news needs to be spread.
That's the motivation behind my work in Africa, and the motivation behind this web site.
I hope you enjoy exploring the site.
Jim Harries.

Karibu kujifunza juu ya kazi ya umisionari wa Jacob Otieno
Habari njema ya Yesu Kristo ni kusema "ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele." Kumwagwa kwa damu ya Yesu ni njia ya kusamehewa kwa dhambi yao kwa watu wote wanaomwamini.
Habari hiyo inaniongoza maishani mwangu. Sio rahisi hata kuikubalia. Wengi wanaona ni ngumu kukubali kusamehewa! Wanabaki na shaka. Wanabaki na dhambi yao. Kristo alisema "Njoni kwangu ninyi nyote msumbukao na wenye kulemewa na mizigo, nami nitawapumzisha." (Biblia, Mathayo 11:28).
Habari hiyo ya ajabu kabisa ikabadilisha hali ya binadamu mbele ya Mungu. Inaendelea kunichangia moto wakati wote. Hiyo siyo habari ambayo ninaweza kubaki nayo peke yangu. Kutowashirikisha watu wengine ingekuwa kukosa upendo. Habari njema lazima isambazwe.
Ndiyo sababu ninafanya kazi hii hapa Afrika. Ninatumaini utafurahi kuendelea kusoma mambo ambayo yamo humo.
