Matthew 5:6 (KJV) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
What a great privilege it is to meet with saints across the world who are hungry for the Lord Jesus Christ. I was recently in the country of Rwanda, in a town called Nyagatare, located in the North Eastern part of Rwanda. Thirty-five pastors and leaders were gathered for the School of Christ training. Every day many of them traveled over five miles by foot to attend the training we were hosting. All of them were so thankful for the Word of God, time spent in prayer and the privilege of participating in the training.
This kind of testimony is always very humbling. People talk much about prosperity and it is always in a material sense. Yet people are far richer who may have nothing of this world’s wealth yet have a hunger and desire for God’s Will and Righteousness. This was reality for these students in Rwanda.
In the month of April, we graduated two other schools. One was in Kenya with fourteen students, two of which were students from South Sudan. Also, in Niger we have just completed our first school.
One leader in Rwanda said, “We have been in darkness listening to every false prophet that came along, thinking it was the Word of God. But now we have the Truth and we can stand strong to make a difference in our churches and communities.”
