What People Say About Us
After an accident in which my car was totaled (10-28-18), I struggled to transfer between two city buses and the train to get to and from church for almost 11 months. Much to my surprise on a Sunday morning just before our service began, Pastors Charles and Lizzy Kitenge took me outside and showed me a 2014 Chrysler 300. They explained that the Lord instructed them to donate their car me. I was totally shocked and blessed to see their sacrificial obedience unto the Lord! The Lord also gave me the privilege and the honor of transporting them to and from our church almost every Sunday for over a year until He blessed them with a brand new car! Pastors Charles and Lizzy Kitenge are the real deal and they lead by example!
Pastor Charles and Lizzy from Divine Missions Ministries (DMM) have cultivated not a congregation, but a family that is intent on perusing genuine relationships with the Father through Jesus, and every day learning how to better follow the Holy Spirit. Pastor Charles is one of the most genuine people I know. Once you meet him you will first be drawn in by is his prophetic gift he has allowed to grow through his obedience and faithfulness to follow the Holy Spirit, but what drew me in and has kept Charles and DMM in my life for many years is his blatant pursuit of the things of God and his desire to live out Leviticus 11:44 “For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean”. He tempers his that with the Love of the Father and grace. The other thing I love about DMM is that they aren’t trying to grow a church but to teach and train up the next generation that will change the world. More importantly to me is how having DMM and Charles in my life has changed me and made me a better person, and for that I thank you Charles and Lizzy for being who you are and allowing the Lord to shine through every aspect of your lives.
I can certainly see why you head to Charlotte on Sunday mornings for worship. My gracious, it was as close to heaven as anywhere I’ve been in a long time. The humble spirit of your pastor and the gentleness and purity of the worship was “spirit filling” to me. Thank you for sharing about this treasure from heaven.
Planning on seeing you on Tuesday!
Abundant blessings from Jesus!
Through Divine mission Ministries generosity, On Eagles Wings Inc has impacted the lives of so many poor families living in Africa and the Philippines. We provide lunch daily for many kids and the elderly, most of whom are not able to afford even a single meal a day. We are able to provide basic needs for poor kids battling cancer and put some smiles on their faces by granting them wishes like celebrating their birthdays and buying gifts that mean a lot to them. We also provide these kids with shoes and clothes because most of them walk barefoot and barely have a change of clothes. We are able to provide food, clothing, mattresses, and blankets to many elderly who have been neglected and left to die alone due to poverty. This gives them hope that old age is a blessing from the almighty God and not a curse.
Through divine mission ministries continued support we are able to feed street kids and support disabled kids who have been neglected by their families. Their families believe these kids are bad omens in the society and that if they were to stay with their families they would bring a curse to not only to their families but the entire community. Through our support, love, and care many families have come to know that God’s love is unconditional, infinite, and unfailing. He doesn’t hate them because He lets them suffer but he loves them regardless of their circumstances.
Personally, helping the less fortunate has changed my life in great ways. I can say that the most beautiful, natural, and genuine expressions of joy which I have ever seen in my life were in poor people who had little to hold. They always accept the little things you do for them with much gratitude and humility. This made me look at life differently.
God values everyone. He isn’t more impressed with a successful entrepreneur than a penniless beggar. They are both precious in His sight. No matter where you are in the pecking order, He values us all, He is moved by our suffering. And He is delighted when we care for the poor. Understanding God’s care for the poor caused my hands to not only lift in praise, but also to reach out in mercy and support the poor. We have been recreated in Christ to reflect his image and the image of the Father in this world. My prayer is that I will continue to do that with greater clarity as I reflect merciful God’s concern for the poor.
Thank you Divine Mission Ministries for being the feet and hands of Jesus. May the almighty continue to enlarge your territory to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world in all ways as God almighty leads you.
Through Divine Mission Ministries I have learned to know God for myself, not just know about God.
That I go to God first and to His Word first, before I go to anyone else. I have a true and growing relationship with God now. The Ministry also encourages us to pursue God more. There is always more of God to know.
Another major stand out for me is the Ministry as well as Charles and Lizzy’s personal lives are led by the Holy Spirit.
If the Lord is not leading us to do something as a Church, it doesn’t matter if 100 other churches are doing it, or if it’s all over social media, we will not do it unless the Lord is leading us to do so.
DMM preaches the Word, love, faith, forgiveness, and obedience, just to name a few. Charles and Lizzy lead by example.
There is no pretending that the Christian walk is tiptoeing through the tulips. I have watched Charles and Lizzy obey God and do the hard stuff. Like calling people and asking them for forgiveness even though they did not do anything wrong themselves. But because God led them to do so, they humbled themselves and obeyed. Then relationships were healed and God was glorified.
Also, that as Christians we will not always get it right. But, God loves us and He does not love us any less. We learn greatly from our mistakes.
Charles and Lizzy have stepped out in faith again and again, being doers of the Word and not hearers only. They gave away their car twice and they themselves walked, trusting God’s plan for them. I’ve seen their apartment with boxes stacked to the ceiling for months and months because they were standing in faith-trusting God for their new home. I’ve watched them preach with all their heart to a few as if they were preaching to a stadium full of people.
Moreover, I have watched them get sorely mistreated and the very next day they treated the person as if it never happened-because they forgave and walked in love.
These are just a few of the things that I could share about the Ministry, there is so much more.
I am forever grateful for how my life has changed by what I have learned through Divine Mission Ministries. I thank God for Charles and Lizzy. I could not have done it without them.
