Monthly Archives: November 2021

1 Thessalonians 2:1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

I’m so thankful we have an open door into Africa! More importantly, the Lord has granted entrance into the hearts of the pastors that are presently going through the schools.

This month of November, I returned from a trip to Africa that included the countries of Kenya, Ivory Coast and Tanzania. It was a profitable time.  We are seeing a great desire for spiritual reality in the lives of the pastors we train.

Let me highlight three of the countries, we have been working in this last month.

• Ivory Coast: I visited this school for the last week of class and the students had been stirred in their hearts.  In the final week of study, they agreed to meet each night to pray from twelve (midnight) to three am. This was in addition to the times of prayer in the regular running of the school.

• Tanzania: I remember the first time I came to Tanzania was in 2008 when I ran the school in a place called Mwanza. Since that time the school has spread across many of the Tanzanian regions.  During this year of 2021, we were officially invited back to Mwanza to run the school again with a pastor’s fellowship within the city.  What a joy it was to see God work in the leaders’ hearts as they grew in humility, sought holiness, desired God’s will and truth, and prayed through.

• Uganda: Our country director, had requested a school in October 2021. I gave the go ahead and such was the response to the school that 72 students signed up. Of which 60 graduated after the month’s training.  We have registered 40 for the new class starting in January 2022.

• Kenya: All year long we have been running schools in Nairobi. Although we have not had the numbers the other schools have, we have seen a steady trickle of pastors come through the classes, sometimes 10 students, other times 15.  In October and November, we have run two schools.

It is always wonderful when God visits and heals people’s bodies, but a much greater work is done when God opens spiritually blinded eyes to truth, convicts the heart and conscience and sets it on things above.  This is the beginning of revival.

Our purpose is to run training programs called the School of Christ. These month-long training sessions specifically aimed at Church leadership, establish students in Biblical doctrines required for life and godliness. Inclusive in the training is the necessary prayer meetings that forge the student to become a vessel of revival that God can use in these last days.
