James Miklos Ministries (formerly Life Flow International Outreach) is a non profit Christian faith organization consisting of a body of believers who follow the authority and teachings of the Word of God along with salvation through Jesus Christ. It has been his keen desire to complete missions work as part of serving the great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ who said, “Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature.”(Mark 16:15)
James Miklos Ministries' vision aims to share life in all its fullness with the world's people by enabling them to know Christ; alleviating suffering and injustice; and improving their overall quality of life. The goal is to motivate, train, and resource individuals and their families so that they can develop the necessary tools that would promote and enable them to become primary agents of change by bringing wholeness to the spirit, mind and body. This ministry focuses on taking part in field missions around the world and relies solely on donations to cover the cost of expenses. This would include, but is not limited to, funding which would help cover the costs of flights, provisions, visas, sending containers to fulfill a specific need, and so forth. James Miklos Ministries relies on individuals like you, to enable social change to occur and to address the needs of any given people regardless of their age, gender, socio-economic status, religion or denomination. Kenya
Kenya lies across the equator and is located in the eastern central hub of Africa. Kenya is considered to be riddled with poverty and it is estimated between one quarter of the population earn less than $1 per day, and around three quarters of the population is dependent on an unstable agricultural industry. Having an overall weak infrastructure for the country indicates that nearly all of the rural population are forced to rely on their own farming, as well as other monetary income. With jobs being scarce, this leaves people with little opportunity for employment. As a result of the poor social economy, civil unrest has followed recent elections, which in turn has lead to issues of violence claiming the lives of thousands of Kenyans, and displacing thousands more in refugee camps. Known for being one of the most corrupt nations of the world, the average Kenyan is said to pay an estimate of 16 bribes per month. To further complicate matters, health issues such as AIDS continues to pose a long term risk to the economy, as well as other health related issues, with little to no medical care afforded to such individuals and their families. Given the level of oppression and marginalization that this particular country is faced with, one can only imagine how this may impact Kenyan’s overall physical, psychosocial, and level of spirituality. In July 2010, the Lord spoke to Dr. Miklos about wanting him to participate in a mission trip to Kenya with the emphasis on educating spiritual leaders. This message was further confirmed after a pastor friend, Bishop Scottie Jackson, had contacted him inviting him to take part in a mission trip to Kiserian, Kenya, whereby he was to assist a local pastor, Bishop Charles Magaga, set up a church within an impoverished area. He learned that Bishop Magaga had erected a building out of corrugated steel and tree branches, and without any available electricity. He was also made aware that the people lived in very impoverished and unsanitary conditions, as well, access to health care and education was extremely limited. In November 2010, Dr. Miklos joined the mission trip and found it to be a highly rewarding experience. There, the team was able to provide the people with medical and school supplies, as well as other provisions which they found beneficial. They were also successful in encouraging the spiritual leaders in building their congregation and provided them with invaluable support and training to enhance their overall ministry over the long term. With that being said, the team recognized that there was a genuine ongoing need to continue in this mission by broadening their aid to a circuit of local churches throughout the vicinity. As such, they have returned to Africa several times since then to continue the vision and plan on future mission work as well.
