(Col 2:5) For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
One of the fruits of running the schools is seeing the order and steadfastness that comes about in the students’ lives from being under the influence of the Word of God and prayer.
We receive students from different cultural and theological backgrounds, with cherished strongholds that have been lodged in their minds and are contrary to the Word of God.
In every school a conflict begins and is often intense. As the school progresses, prayer becomes effectual, truth is received and barriers are broken down. The result is order, steadfastness and a setting of the affections on things above.
In the month of June we graduated a school in Burkina Faso.

Forty-seven leaders gathered from different villages across the country to meet for the school in Ougadougo (the capital city). The day before graduation, one of the older pastors in the school testified and encouraged the class of their need to walk in obedience to the revealed truth, to stand strong as they go back to their communities, and demonstrate that Christ is alive.
In the month of June we also had schools in:
Porto Novo, Benin Republic – We had twelve students.

Yaounde, Cameroon – We had nineteen students gather from different areas of the country.
Nairobi, Kenya – A school has just been completed.
This month of July we are starting another school in Burkina Faso.
In August, we have schools running in the city of Kinshasa and Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
We also have a school starting in the country of Chad, (a landlocked nation surrounded by Libya, Sudan, CAR, Niger and Cameroon). This is the first time we have ever had the opportunity to go there.
The only hope is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Man cannot be educated out of his evil; he must be Born Again!
Thank you to all who have helped pray and support the above and continuing work in Africa.
