Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with yours,
to do and to endure

  I was present with the school in Mbarara, Uganda. We were invited there by a church organization that has over five hundred branch churches. The lead Bishop invited us and provided the facilities to run the School of Christ. He testified during the class that many of his church leaders (Bishops and Pastors) had been through many other schools, some graduated with PHD’s in Theology and Ministry, but they had not brought life. He publicly shared that the SOC had affected a change of life in many of His leaders and as a result, he invited us to come back and train the rest.

Below is the list of twenty-three completed schools this year, including two introduction classes: (Equatorial Guinea and South Africa).

In Christ and for His Glory

Light In The World Ministries Update August / September 2015

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (55)  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (56)  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

(57)  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

August was a busy month for the ministry.  We had schools running in five different countries.  The first was in Northern Cameroon in a place called “Maroua”. The purpose of this school was to draw pastors from the neighboring countries of Central Africa Republic (CAR) and Chad.  Due to civil unrest in the country of CAR it made it difficult for some of the pastors to travel into Cameroon.  The areas highlighted above are places of intense persecution for Believers. We pray that the pastors who went through the school were fortified in their lives to go back to their homes and take the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to those that don’t know Him.

Other schools that we ran in August were in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we sponsored one school in Kinshasa (West DRC) and another in Bukavu (East DRC).

I visited a new school we were running in Ghana on the eastern side near to the border of Togo. This is the first time we have run a school in this region.

In Hammanskraal, South Africa we graduated a school on the 8th August.  The next school that I had planned to run in South Africa was booked for OctoberHowever, such was the demand from the pastors to run another school,  I agreed to run two more concurrently in the same area.  Both of these schools graduated on the 5th September after completing three weeks training.

In this month of September, we have great openings in the country of Kenya.  Our director, Joseph, has been able to introduce the school to 70 pastors in the Kisumu area of Kenya.  The school will be running there this month.

The mark of a life governed by the Holy Spirit is that such a life is continually and ever more and more occupied with Christ, (T.Austin Sparks)
