Schools run in May
Malakal, South Sudan
Malakal is a city located near to the border of North Sudan. The difficulties in running this school were numerous, but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory. The food prices were exceptionally high because food had to be imported in. There was no running water or electricity for the school, so we had to hire donkey carts to bring river water for the bathing of the students and we used a generator to run the lessons. The food we imported in via boat from Juba (capital city of South Sudan) was delayed and we had also hired a tent from Juba to run the school. So we had to use a rickety church building and buy local food for the first week. The temperature was hot, the water to bathe in was filthy, but the students were hungry for the Word of God. There was such an openness and receptivity to God’s Word that made up for the difficulties. Upon my departure I was not allowed into the checking area because I had not got CID (Criminal Investigation Department) clearance. I disputed with them because the day before my departure when I had visited the immigration office to get the clearance, they told me that I didn’t need it. At the airport the immigration officers arranged my clearance for a fee! I left the country saying to my myself I would not return, but repented later for my rashness.
Okitipupa, Nigeria
Okitipupa is located about 6 hrs drive east of Lagos, the capitol of Nigeria. It was a great school and such a blessing. We had 30 students, some of which were leaders in major church organizations in the local area. One man who came to the school was the pastor of a church group called the Celestial People. I don’t know all the doctrines of this group but they are a cult; they walk barefoot and wear white garments; their actions are determined solely by the prophets within the church. This man after the third day of being in the school was completely broken and turned to the Word of God. He ended up wanting the school to come to his church in the future
Mubende, Uganda
This school was at the right place at the right time. There was such a demand for the training in this place that after the registration of 38 pastors, other pastors had to be turned away and asked to come to the next school we were planning in July. During the middle of the school something wonderful happened as God moved by his Spirit in touching the pastors hearts. I am quoting Richard Kairu who is our director for Uganda as he explains what happened in the class.“Dear brother, this has never happened before. The revival broke since yesterday evening in one hour of prayer, pastors were crying, repenting for their carnal and false preaching and now today we are in fasting, and I told them that we shall use the time of lunch for prayer and in the middle of prayer, brother, the wind of God blew and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. We are now on the lessons of the Holy Spirit, it has been great.”
