Each day more news of chaos bombards our senses. Recently in Kenya, we heard of terrorists who would kill innocent lives seeking to make a media point for their cause. Now more news at LAX airport where a killer showed up and killed a TSA agent and wounded many others. The Christian Science Monitor reported that the scene at the airport was chaos everywhere. The result is that more and more of us are are beginning to conclude, chaos is the new norm. Chaos seems to be getting out of control. The “chaos” difference makers are getting all the headlines, shared instantly via Facebook and online media sources.
Personal Chaos and those difference makers like Miley Cyrus
What is also reported is the personal chaos that is plaguing beautiful and famous people. Each week we read another story about

some famous person who is teetering on the edge of chaos. Miley Cyrus once was the promoter of wholesome values. Those values have been rejected by her now and she is living the “party” life, which may careening into more chaos. She is the most gossiped-about media star right now. The fact is that young people are looking for a happier life and Miley Cyrus “looks” like she has it all. Many young people admire her and want to be like her. But many of the media star have crashed and the media moves on to talk about the next young star who is fun to gossip about.
Difference Makers are Needed Now
At some point lost souls will ask themselves if they are really happy. Will there be a difference maker of peace who will introduce a different way of life? Often difference makers of peace are those who used to be mired in chaos themselves. I have met many of them at Christian Leaders Institute. I have met former “party girls” who crashed so hard into the wall of chaos. And just when their souls were dying, some difference makers showed up into their lives. Some times those difference makers came from unlikely sources. A former lover found lasting happiness and shared how God brought peace out of the chaos. Some times the difference makers were trained Christian leaders who were used by God to bring life to a dying soul.
Joseph R. Pelkoski is married to a beautiful woman of God, named Susan. They have three children living at home. Eleven years 
ago, Joseph was using crack cocaine. The “party life” was running its course and Joseph was heading down fast. God sent several difference makers into his life, one of them was his sister Marilyn who invited him to come live in her Christian home to help him get off drugs. Within a week, he accepted Christ and started attending “Celebrate Recovery.” He unfortunately fell back into drugs shortly there after; God humbled him again. Now off drugs again for quite some time, Joseph has found greater peace than the chaos he used to sniff.
Joseph wrote, “After God humbled me, I feel a strong urge to share Christ with others, first in my town of Windber, PA, second in Somerset County and Cambria County and third the world. I am not sure if God is leading me to be a pastor or to become a missionary. For now, I just know God is leading me to share the Gospel. I will go anywhere God leads me.” Who knows how God will use this difference maker.
Bible School in Jamaica – Could a CLI Student from Jamaica change the world for Christ? Because of the Internet, Christian Leaders Institute can open a Bible School in Jamaica where even the poor can receive excellent ministry training. The unique aspect of this Bible School in Jamaica is that the entire school is beamed into the relationship between the student and his mentor.
How does this free Bible School in Jamaica work?
The process starts with a called student. Meet Kimaro Smith. His story moves me to raise more resources so that Christian Leaders Institute remains FREE of charge to even the poorest of the world.
Kimaro Smith is a young man from a crime ridden poor area of the world. Can anything good come out of Clarendon, Jamaica?
The US State Department talks about Jamaica this way: “While the vast majority of crimes occur in impoverished areas, random acts of violence, such as gunfire, may occur anywhere.”
Living on the beautiful Island of Jamaica can be difficult. Drug related crime is pervasive. Sexual assault cases are common. Violent crime is very high. Some parts of Jamaica are very dangerous.
Most Jamaicans are poor, but hardship stalks rural Jamaica. According to the Gleaner, those living in rural Jamaica are twice as likely to live in poverty than those in the Jamaican cities.
Kimaro Smith, from rural Jamaica senses the call to bring revival everywhere. Because of online ministry training from Christian Leaders Institute, there is now a Bible School in Jamaica and specifically in Clarendon.
Kimaro prayed, “Here I am, here I stand, Lord, my life is in your Hands.”
Kimaro tells his story: “As a young Jamaican growing up within the rural area of Clarendon, my mother was ‘heaven-bent’ on ensuring my growth in the church by sending me to Sunday School (even though, she wasn’t a Christian).”
By the time Kimaro was thirteen, he was becoming cynical of church and God. But something dramatic was about to happen. Revival for Kimaro came. He attended one more church service and ”the Holy Spirit swept my heart and spirit into the loving arms of the Lord. I decided at the age of 14 years to take a ‘WALK-With-GOD’.”
“Matthew 9:37-38 – Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.’ I believe and trust that I’m a worker who has been ‘called’ into His harvest as an evangelist, to rescue and steer the lost sheep from slaughter to the green pastures of the Almighty and already that mission has begun with my own family and others.
It’s my dream and duty to travel the globe declaring the Gospel and empowering the saints.
It is therefore significantly necessary for the development of myself and my ministry that I am equipped with the knowledge and training of the scriptures as taught by the Christian Leaders Institute and as stated in 2 Timothy 2:15 – ‘Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.'”
Kimaro has boldly made this statement: “I have taken on the responsibilities, as a man of God, to see to it that the Word of God as declared by the Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples is spread to the ‘four corners’ of the world, and the teaching at Christian Leaders Institute would be a push towards such a calling by a young man from rural Jamaica.”
Help me in my struggle to keep ministry training free so that young people from a poor place can be prepared to bring revival to the nations.
Bible School in Jamaica Mentor
Kimaro Smith’s mentor is the Bishop Trevor Williams who supports his young “Timothy.” He wrote me and said, “I happen to be his pastor and I am only too willing to make the facilities of my church available to him and others who are so inclined to pursue Theological studies with your institution.” Thanks to Bishop Williams for his help to aid this Bible school in Jamaica.

LET NOT YOUR HEART TROUBLED Expository Sermon in the Preaching Class by Gill
By: EcoSikh
“Envoy of Christ’s Church” – Pakistan
John 14:1-5
The last week of September 2013 has been disastrous for Pakistan. Two casualties occurred one after another. I’ll put it this way, on Saturday, September 2013, I just came out of my home to preach in the church Envoy of Christ on the way. I met with a boy 14 years of age who wanted asked me if there was any home to be rented out. I replied, “There is no such home because the families living in this area have their own homes.” My answer perturbed the boy because their landlord had demanded his home back from them, and that day was the dead line to vacate home, otherwise, the landlord would take possession of his home forcibly. I kept walking to the church while thinking about the boy and his family and home he was looking for and where they were living right then. So I preached the Word of God, and the next day was Sunday. I ministered to the Lord right there. After the Sunday church Service, the news came on T.V. channels that suicide bombers have attacked a church in the city of Peshawer, and as a result, hundreds of people had lost their lives, and many were injured. Many persecuted Christians affected. Two days later. a massive destructive earthquake hit the southwest of Balochistan province in Pakistan. Not only where I was, but on the whole Pakistani nation was in the state of agony, distress, fear, and mourning. As a minister of God, I was thinking over all these disasters, and a passage in the Gospel of John was repeatedly coming before my eyes. At first,not understanding the meaning of it, so I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me. Let us read the passage so that I can share it with you.
John 14:1-5 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would I have told you. I got to prepare a place for you. 3. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you with myself, that where I am you may be also. 4. And you know the way to where I am going, 5. “Thomas said to him, Lord we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to Father except through me.
In the first verse, John 14:1 Jesus said, “let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” Jesus left them and knew everything that would turn against them. They would have to endure all kinds of opposition. Scribes and rabbis would not allow them to preach the Gospel, and even they would not hesitate to kill them. Although Jesus had taught many things and revealed mysteries to them, He thought it necessary to tell them to be courageous in all kinds of situations to come. He has commanded that as you believe in God, you believe also in Him. God has delivered the Israelites out of the slavery of Egypt and allowed them to dwell in the promised land. “Believe in me. I have delivered you out of the slavery of sin, and now, eternal life is yours.”
Verse 14:2 In my father’s house are many rooms, if it were not so would I have told that I got to prepare a place for you. Here Jesus is telling his disciples about heaven where He is heading to, that there are many rooms for believers to live in for eternity in my father’s house. He is assuring them he is going ahead of them to prepare a place for them where the people will live forever, and then he will come back to take them and you with himself so that where Jesus is, we will also be with him – God the Father and Jesus, our elder brother. What a place to live where Jesus is.
Verse 14:3 And you know the way to where I am going. Thomas said to him,” Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”. Jesus said to him, “ I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus is saying, “You know the way where I am going.” But one of His disciples, Thomas, asked Jesus, “We do not know where you are going, so how we can know the way?” . Jesus had taught the disciples for almost three and half years but Thomas says we don’t know the way and destination where you are going. Jesus made it clear to them that I am through whom you can go and you have to go to my father. Jesus said, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus is the only Way to God. Jesus had explicitly told the disciples that He was the only way to heaven, and Jesus has made this way by traveling through the cross to reach his father, although He came from heaven. That is why He said, “Whosoever does not pick up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whosoever finds their life will lose it; and whosoever loses his life for My sake will find it (Matthew 10;38-39).” In the book of Hebrews 10:19-22 we read: “Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having bodies washed with pure water.” So this is the Way to heaven where there is Jesus and God the Father.
THE TRUTH: Jesus cannot lie because He is The Word, became flesh, and made his dwelling amongst us. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth (John 1:14). and the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 1;20; For no matter how many promises God made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
THE LIFE: Jesus is the Life. No doubt, He is life because according to John 5;26, For as the Father has life in himself, so He has granted the son to have life in himself. The very famous verse, John 3:16, says; “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall have eternal life.”
In this passage addressing His disciples, Jesus said, “Let not your heart troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.” Actually, Jesus guarantees you will have a room. The solution is to keep your heart from being troubled during trying times and to trust in God (Psalm 42;5) a solution that the Jews had known all along, and to also, trust in Jesus. Both are essential.
Just put yourselves in the shoes of the boy who was looking for a home for rent, as he and his family were troubled because of their landlord’s notice, and put yourselves in the shoes of the victim of the church in Peshawer. They are either dead or alive in hospitals. They had their home but now they are homeless. Put yourselves in shoes of those affected by the earthquake, the people who lost their lives, and or survivors of the quake. Survivors are looking to the Government and NGOs for the shelter, rescue and food, and medical treatment. Everyone is troubled and has no peace because they have gone through destructive experiences and want to have life and all necessities met.
But Jesus says earthquakes will hit you, and any kind of mishap can happen. You can be deprived of your homes, because this world is not for eternity. He has gone to prepare a place where there is no want of rooms, where dwells eternity. The reason is that it is God the Father’s household, and Jesus, our elder brother, and believers whom he does not feel ashamed to call them his brothers, are all there. For this, He says “pick up your cross and follow me, do not love to your brother, parents, children, or your homes more than me, and all this belongs to you in heaven in my father’s household. Don’t be troubled if I am not in this physical world. I am coming back soon to take all of you with myself so that where I am so you may be, also.”
The question is not whether the boy and his family who were desperately looking for a home could be successful to find a home for rent or not, or whether the survivors of the church attacked have been returned to their home sweet home, or whether the survivors of the earthquake in Balochistan have been rehabilitated or not. The question is what will happen before the coming of Jesus to take His people with himself. It is written in Gospel of Matthew 24; 6-10 “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nations will rise against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms, and there will be famines and earthquake in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. They will deliver you up to tribulations and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.”
Recently, an earthquake shook Balochinstan-Pakistan, Greece, near Papua New Guinea, off the coast of Baja California, and off Indonesia with aftershocks at northern Australia and northern Queensland. Syria is facing the famine due to civil war in its homeland. Daily, you hear in the news of wars, nation rising against nation, believers being torched, and hated everywhere but wait, this is not the end of world, as Jesus said it is the beginning of birth pains as you are affected by earthquakes, afraid of wars, have famine or are being persecuted for Jesus’ name or have left everything behind to follow Jesus. He says, “Let not your heart trouble you. You believe in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house there are many rooms for you to dwell in for eternity where there is Father God and our brother, Jesus (Lord of Lords). In God’s household, there is no death and no mourning, but rather, happiness. Jesus and his glory and his father are there with peace forever. He is coming soon. Follow him, for he is the WAY; Come to him, for he is TRUTH; Desire him, for he is Life; and remember his guarantee; Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe in me. In my father’s house are many rooms for you. Amen.
