(4) But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
I am thankful for the Lord’s reminder through the Word of God, that it is His Gospel, His Church, His Word and in His infinite wisdom He has entrusted the care of such to men. So Paul states that his desire is to please God with that trust.
As the ministry moves forward in Africa, it is my desire that we would indeed please God with the work that He has entrusted to our care.
I just recently returned from Africa where schools were running in Burkina Faso, Kenya and Democratic Republic of Congo.
A school was planned for Nigeria, but it was canceled due to improper organization. We have now postponed that school until November.
It was our first time to run a school in Burkina Faso. We had 45 pastors in attendance from different organizations but mostly from the Assembly of God church. During the second week of the training we lost twenty of the pastors due to the discipline and teaching of the school. Some of the pastors did not agree with the teaching, which caused disruption and confusion to the class, so they were asked to leave. Thankfully, those who were hungry for truth and reality came through refined and ready to go back to their churches seeking to please God and be a blessing to God’s Church.
In Democratic Republic of Congo I met with the present class and former students of the School of Christ. There is great team of workers in DRC who throughout this year have sought to take the school into other cities in their country.
Other schools that have graduated during this past couple of months are in Congo Republic (Brazzaville) and Togo.
We are presently running schools in this month of September in Uganda and Tanzania.
I do request your prayers for the the brethren on the ground in these countries who help us in forwarding the work of the Lord across Africa. Please also remember me in prayer, that I would have wisdom in proceeding forth with the ministry across Africa.
