LITWM September 2016 Update
(1Co 3:11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
The foundational material for all service and work that is done for God must be Christ. Without Him the whole structure of ministry and life in God falls apart.
The great blessing of the teaching of the School of Christ is to focus each student upon life’s lesson which is Jesus Christ. He must be the first and primary thing that occupies the heart of each human.
I am so grateful to the Lord for the opportunity of seeing pastors and leaders of Churches across the continent of Africa be challenged and changed in their walk with the Lord as they go through these training schools.
In the month of August we completed schools in the following countries in Africa.
Country: Democratic Republic of Congo
City: Kinshasa – This is the fourth full-time residential school that we have run in the capital city. There is such a great need in this country for the practical manifestation of Christ to be lived out fully in each Christian’s life. The corruption within the country makes it a daily battle for believers to stand true against the prevailing system. We thank God for the facilitators on the ground, who are working to carry forth the vision of the school into the different parts of their country. We graduated a school here on the 27th August.
City: Bukavu– This city is located near to the Rwandan border. We first ran a school in Bukavu in 2008 and since that time we have gone back to run other schools. It has been some years since we have been in this location and were able to graduate 20 students.
Country: Republic of Chad
City: Doba – This was the first school we have run in Chad. Our director whom we sent from Cameroon faced many difficulties in this school but we are rejoicing in the faithfulness of God to see the school established. They graduated on the 22nd August.
In this month of September we start a school at the border of South Sudan and Uganda in a place called Koboko. Because of rebel fighting in South Sudan, people have had to flee their country for the safety of their own lives. Our director Thomas contacted us saying that there is a great opportunity for reaching the church leaders located on the border, if we could run a school there. So we have quickly put together a school and will be running it from the 12th to 30th September.
Country: Kenya
City: Nairobi – For many years the School of Christ has been running in Kenya. I rejoice in the steadfast commitment shown by the director Joseph and the team as they labor in running the schools. They have completed a school in August in Nairobi. We jointly work together helping support the work as they continue forward. They are starting a school this month of September in the city of Naivasha.
Thank you to those who pray and help support the ministry. We are very aware that we are all in this work together.
(Psa 115:1) Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
