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 October. However, 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 Impfondo, Congo we graduated our second school with twelve students.

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.

I returned from checking on schools that were running in Cameroon and Ivory Coast. I’m so thankful for caliber of the directors that are working with us to see the school move across the continent of Africa. In each of the schools there was spiritual life and understanding of the Truth of the Word of God. This worked itself into the anvil of daily prayer, fasting for each of the leaders that attended, seeking God for a move of His Spirit within their own respective families, ministries, communities and countries where these ministers are working in the gospel.

I have been reflecting since I got back on what has taken place this year. My heart is full of gratitude toward God to see His hand provide and forward the work of training leaders across the continent of Africa.

To quote the late B.H. Clendennen from the lesson “The Church is A Prophet”

“Prophetic ministry is in its totality, the ministry of spiritual interpretation. It is the interpretation of everything from a spiritual standpoint. There never was a time when there was a greater need for such ministry. That is, the need for a voice of interpretation – a spiritual voice interpreting things from a spiritual standpoint. Millions are deceived today as the word of God is being interpreted from a carnal view. Men have taken the scriptures and twisted them into lies.”

I may sound repetitive in saying this but this is the great need of the church in Africa and all over the world. There is a desperate need to have the mind of God brought to His Church. I believe that, in the schools that we are running, there is an awakening of the leaders to come back to the foundation of God’s Church – which is Christ. To once again let everything be done decently and in order, that is, to be patterned after Christ.

During 2014 we had plans to run the school in seventeen different countries across the continent, we managed to run it in fifteen of them. In some of the countries we were able to run more than one school. Listed below are the full-time schools we financially provided for. The countries are in bold script.

Gabon

Wau, South Sudan

Goma, DR Congo

Nairobi, Kenya (three schools, April, August, December we covered the cost of one and partially provided for the other two.)

Mubende Nebbi Uganda (three schools, April and August in Mubende and then one school in Nebbi which we covered the director’s expenses and someone else sponsored the school.)

Rwanda,

Malawi,

Geita, Tanzania (Two schools)

D.R.Congo (We have been helping the school go forward in this country through partial support all year long, running schools in different areas of DRC.)

Congo (Brazzaville) (We have been helping the school go forward all year long.)

Burkina Faso

In some of these countries the directors have been helping to sponsor additional part-time classes.

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.
