Isaiah 40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

It has been a busy six weeks. We have run five schools in five different countries.  I believe the Lord has been greatly glorified and shown forth His Truth and Life in the midst of His people that have passed through the schools.

The following schools have been run this year so far.

Kampala, Uganda where we had 33 students graduate. One of the great testimonies, and one that is recurring in the schools, was a restoration of a broken marriage.  Thank God for His Life that cures all ills!

Gisenyi, Rwanda
Our second school was in Gisenyi, Rwanda. During this school fighting broke out in the neighboring city of Goma, but we were able to continue the School of Christ training.

Lome, Togo, is in West Africa.  We had 66 students graduate from three different countries represented (Benin, Togo and Ghana). Many students were senior pastors.

Abeokuta, Nigeria. We had 16 students graduate from the training. This is the second school we have run since our restart in this country last year. We appreciate your prayers for Nigeria.

Nkwenda, Tanzania. We had 31 students graduate. This is one of the many rural areas in Tanzania where there is a real hunger to receive the Word in fulness. We thank the Lord for the lives that are being changed as they give themselves to the Word of God and prayer!

Our next projected schools start in April in the following countries.
Uganda
Rwanda
Niger
Congo

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and concern for the training of these pastors and leaders. It is a privilege to be a part of what God is doing in His church all over Africa.
To God be all the Glory!

Light In The World Ministries June Update

Throughout the Bible we see God is jealous of life; He is infinitely concerned with the life of His Son, expressed through His Church. We are in a battle of life, the fight that we are involved in is; shall God’s life be expressed through us as individuals and the Church corporately, or will it be hindered.  The psalmist stated in Psalms 17:15
(15)  As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. 
As we continue to run schools across the continent of Africa, we find much that tries to hinder the forward movement of the gospel.  I am so thankful the battle is not ours but it is the Lord’s.
South Africa,
We just finished a full-time school in South Africa.  We had over 20 senior pastors gather, some have been ministering the gospel for over 30 years. There was great humility, discipline and desire to know the Will of God.  We are trusting God that this is the beginning of a great breakthrough in this country.  After this school we made plans to run day schools in different localities, gathering pastors together from that area. The day school has the same discipline as the full-time school, the only difference is we do not accommodate them overnight, which reduces the cost.  We started a day school on the 15th June and will graduate the 4th July.

Congo, Impfondo
Impfondo is located in the northern regions of Congo, this was the first time to run the school in this area. We had a very receptive response from the pastors and they received the word with all readiness of mind.

In this month of June we have schools running in Tanzania; Burkina Faso; Uganda and the day school in South Africa./

2 Corinthians 9:15  Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

On the day of Pentecost men who were dead in sin and transgressions were brought into a living relationship with Christ Jesus.  Jerusalem, the place of intense religious dogma and tradition, the place where Christ was crucified, was now the chosen place for God to bring forth men and women of spiritual life and understanding. What was seemingly a small number of disciples left after the crucifixion of Christ, exploded into three thousand being added to the Lord (Acts 2:41). The fruit was there because of the death and resurrection of Christ.

Someone recently asked me what is the greatest miracle I have seen in running these training programs for pastors and leaders? There have been times during the schools where people have been healed physically of sickness and disease, and that is wonderful. But, the greatest miracle I have witnessed, is people who have come to the school with dead tradition and religion and have been brought forth unto life eternal, into a living experiential life with Christ to be lived out day by day and hour by hour. This is a work that only Christ can do in a man’s heart and life and it is a miracle!

I came back three weeks ago from a trip to Togo and Benin Republic, where the school was being run.  In both places it was a great encouragement to see the spiritual life of the leaders being changed and transformed.

In December we have full-time schools running in Cameroon and Ivory Coast. 

Thank you for praying and supporting the work we do in Africa. We certainly know we are in this work together.

Matthew 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support,

During the month of September I traveled to Uganda and Tanzania to be with Schools that were running.  It’s a great encouragement to see people’s lives changed and equipped to go forth and preach the gospel in all the world. 

In our troubled times, we have to believe and know that we do have the answer.  It is not a new church program, new singing group or “new revelation,” but the answer is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is why we must seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33),  that in all things he may have the preeminence (Col 1:18.)

We presently have schools running this month of October in the countries of Togo and Benin Republic in West Africa.  I will be leaving on Monday 20th October to work with the schools and directors in these areas and to plan for the future of the ministry there.

In the face of Ebola and militant Islam pray with us that out of these students a vanguard would rise up to live and demonstrate the power of God across West Africa.  We do have the answer!
