God`s promise of Jesus` return after all people groups have heard the message of salvation, urges us to have a part in this evangelical process. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) In simple obedience, in spite of multiple physical challenges, Mike and Marie Meaney choose to present God-given gifts to the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa. Trusting God for the wherewithal to accomplish this goal, we rest on the promises of Philippians 1:6 and Acts 1:8 After many years of service and career God has blessed us in every area of our lives. We firmly believe the principle of to whom much is given, much is required. Luke 12:48
We would like to hear from you!
Mike and I originally created this website many years ago. It has gradually changed and enlarged to represent the heart and life's passion of Michael Meaney as presented by an adoring wife and friend of over 50 years. The stories and pictures are about our adventures in Africa. They are meant to glorify God. Some are serious. Some are funny. All are true. They represent the 3 components of our ministry: Education, Disability, Village Evangelism. To access stories, go to Stories, Education, Disabilities, Village Evangelism.
The evolution of this website and ministry, along with the death of Michael Meaney, has today brought us to an endeavor called Project Michael's Heart. It is an attempt to provide Bibles to all 54 nations on the continent of Africa. This is done by securing well vetted contacts in each nation to regularly receive funds to purchase Bibles in the local tongue for distribution in that person's ministry.
And the Lord answered me and said, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." Habakkuk 2:2
Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 10:46PM During the reign of terror of Idi Amin in Uganda, no one could relax or feel safe at any time. You never knew when the police would be coming for you and your family. You never knew if you’d see the end of that day with your limbs intact. Pastor Kennedy, as a young man, was working in a government office. Suddenly Amin’s regime police burst into his office, arrested everyone there and took them off to prison.
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 10:44PM How many times in your life do things happen that you simply write off as coincidental, accidental, serendipitous, luck, or never again in a million years? Strange things like this happen to us frequently and we call it a blessing or a miracle. Only God’s intervention could possibly cause this to happen. We see it, evaluate it, laugh at it, but most of all give thanks for it.
Monday, May 16, 2011 at 1:33AM Today the neighbors on all sides of Frederick don’t even recognize him. All of our team walked right by him at church and didn’t even know it was him. The man standing tall and straight had a huge smile showing all of his intact teeth. His face was “alive” with personality, purpose and intention.
Sunday, May 15, 2011 at 10:13PM These letters chronicle the days preceding, during and after Mike's illness and death. The reader will notice an obvious roller coaster effect where some days seemed filled with hope and others with resignation to his complete demise. Mainly, these letters should lend insight to God's faithfulness to one extremely wounded widow. Hopefully the reader will detect an overriding sense of hope as the ministry work in Africa is never set aside but increases with great hope for future exponential growth for the glory of God.
