2Th 2:13
(13) But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
I am rejoicing for the work that the Lord is doing in Africa. I just returned from a trip checking on the schools we were running in Benin, Ghana and Uganda.
In Benin we graduated 16 students, Ghana 20 students and Uganda 34 students.
I am amazed how God deals with the student’s hearts. In each school we run, a particular truth is made relevant. It is not that the teaching changes, that always stays the same, but through the teaching God’s Spirit seems to pinpoint areas that need addressing. In the schools we ran, the recurring area of emphasis was a lesson entitled “The Church and Home Relationships.”
During my trip three pastors from the various schools testified how this lesson had really challenged their lives to go beyond what their culture dictates and live in accordance with God’s Will. Issues of anger and violence were brought to light, and they saw the necessity to take Christ, not just to Church, but into the home itself.
Upon the graduation of the school in Uganda two pastors made public confession and asked their wives to forgive them for the wrong they had done. Only God can work in a human heart like this, bringing humility and repentance. How great is our God that would reconcile a home and reveal Christ!
Change a man and you change a home, change a pastor and you change a church, change a church and you change a nation.
Please be in prayer for the upcoming schools in April. We are running our first school in the country of Niger. Our director from Togo has been visiting with the senior pastors to arrange this school starting next month. Also, in April we have schools running in Rwanda and Kenya.
God Bless you all for prayers. May the Lord be glorified!
