God’s truth is marching on. He is not defeated. He is still on the throne. He is still saving, healing and delivering people. Praise His Name!

In my last email update, I mentioned about new doors of opportunity for the ministry in South Africa.

 

After the graduation of the full-time school in June, we started a day school with 21 students in a place called Soshanguve.

One of the pastors in attendance testified that his life had been changed and that he had met Christ in a very real way. The simplicity of knowing Jesus and making Him real worked deeply in his heart. He was stirred to take the message back to his church: that the answer to everything in life, is a fresh revelation of Christ. It is a testimony like this that keeps us encouraged in our labors.

At the graduation groups of pastors from different districts met with us desiring us to come and help teach their leaders.

It is not often we witness such a hunger, desire and willingness to help facilitate the training.  We started another school on the 20th July, in a place called Hammanskraal near to Pretoria, with 55 leaders present.

Ougadougou, Burkina Faso – This is the first time I had ever visited this country.  During the month of June we had forty students attend the training but due to disciplinary issues only twenty graduated.  Those that did not graduate will be able to attend again in the future.

Shinyanga, Tanzania – The host for this school was the vice-president of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God (Canada) in Tanzania. He allowed us the use of his church and facilities and was also a student in the school himself.  He stated that many years ago in his district, the message of the Church used to be Biblically sound and God confirmed His Word with signs following. That message seems to have been lost in recent times as new preachers have brought in unstable doctrines to the church.  He greatly rejoiced that in the school there was a return to the truth – the sure foundation of what the Church was to be built upon.  Jeremiah 50:4-6

This month of July, we have started a school in South Africa as mentioned above. In Kenya our director met with over 200 pastors in an area called Kisumu to introduce the school.

In August we have two schools running in Democratic Republic of Congo one on the east side in Kinshasa and the other in a place called Bukavu on the west side. In the same month there are also schools running in Ghana and Kenya.
