*WHAT IS MY REWARD?*.

Please visit my Africa Mission Charity website:
http://www.philadelphia33.org/

Many people have asked me what it is that drives me to travel to Africa three times a year and live with the extreme poor and isolated people. Others have asked me why do I do it and not get paid for it. Why at home in London I work so long hours on raising funds and doing the Charity admin and planning.

Well, It is is God that works in me and through me to do his good will and pleasure here on earth. You see when the Lord allows you that experience of actually feeling his Love and overwhelming compassion for the poor, the sick and those who have no voice, It is a compelling force, It is the Love of God in my heart for the extreme poor.

I know as all who are born again that Heaven waits me and that is our reward. But here on earth I also am rewarded. its not with a salary or Fine house of nice car. It is something much more precious that any of that. Paul spoke of my reward and desire.

1Co 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

Paul asked a question as I have asked in the early days of my missions in Africa. What Is My reward? I would say Heaven lord That’s my reward. But as I continued in Africa Missions, I experienced a new reward from the Lord.

That I may preach this Gospel of Jesus Christ free of Charge to the poor and sick in Rural and Isolated villages. The Gospel is free and I have not ever charged or asked a fee like so many ministers or Evangelists. I believe the Lord when he says he will meet all my needs. he does that. There have been times when It has been very hard and I have went to Africa with only an air ticket and a few dollars in my Pocket. yet the Lord has sent an angel to pay my hotel bill. strangers have put money in my hand and someone even bought me clothing and food and cloths for my wife and children. Another lady paid our household utility bills for one year.

The Lord hand picks those whom he wants to bless and moves them to help and support the Mission needs. In their obedience he sends people to give unto them, Good measure, Pressed down and shaken together. [Luke 6:38]. That’s an awful lot of blessing.

This is how I travel thousands of miles and preach the gospel free to all. this is how I can go on Mission adn buy water pumps/Filters/ Medicines adn Clothing for the poor. This is how I can Demonstrate the Love of God to those who are often forgotten by men, but not by God. many Have not heart The Name Jesus. there is no water, Little food, No Electricity adn no support at all. It Is God that makes it possible.
People like you have sown a seed into Gods Mission in Africa. Some of you on redbubble have made donations via the Charity Website.

It Angers me to see TV Evangelists and others beg for money, then offer gifts for those who sow more. Some are selling what they call angel food, Others use all sorts of means to draw money from God s People. Often they build up themselves to live Multi Millionaire Lifestyles, while many are suffering in their Congregations.
Don’t be fooled Brethren, Not all that preach are honest. They abuse their position in Christ. Thank God for those who are honest and trustworthy.

Like Paul the apostle, My desire is tp preach the Gospel of Jesus without any charge.
My reward is to see the orphans placed within families. To see the sick healed and the lost saved. My Reward is the joy that is unspeakable and full of Glory. My Reward is that as I lay on my bed at night, I know that now the Hungry have food adn water. That The Children have a school to attend. That The dry barren fields now are irrigated. That they have a house of God to worship in. This is my reward brethren. I am blessed to be able to do this.

I have never abused my authority in Christ, nor used his divine anointing on my life for selfish gain. I pray I never will.

My reward is when my written messages and art blesses others and brings them hope on Redbubble. When I get Bubble mails of testimonies of how their lives have been touched by the word I share with them, that’s my Reward. JOY JOY JOY!.

Heaven is there for me, but like Paul the apostle my reward is Joy and contentment.
I don’t know what it is like to own my home or drive a car i actually own, yet I am blessed by God. Preaching the Gospel to those forgotten by men and governments is my priority in life and the rewards is so great.

I share this with you all to show you beloved, serving God is so rewarding. Never count the personal cost, as the benefits and rewards are much more.
Please continue to pray for me and the people the Lord has sent me to help.

Make Paul’s Prayer and desire yours also. The rewards are many. care for the poor.

Job 29:12-16 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgement was as a robe and a diadem. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

1Co 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

Time is short friends, Jesus is coming soon.
Win a soul for Jesus Today. help someone in need.

Your Brother in Christ.
Evangelist Trevor Irwin.
