Light In The World Ministries Update October 2014

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!

Light In The World Ministries June 2014

Thank you for those who have prayed for my recent trip to Africa.
The first country I visited was Malawi, in the city of Lilongwe.  In 2011 I had been contacted by a former student that went through the School of Christ.  His intention in communicating with me was to see the school go forward in Malawi.  At the beginning of 2012 I visited him and we started a part time school in his church, which has continued to run these past two years in the evenings and weekends.

This year I talked about the possibility of running a full-time school in Malawi.  On June 9th we started the school, and we had 28 pastors gather from different areas in Malawi. We housed these students at the church.  Great was the hunger for the Word of God and for the Spirit of The Lord to have His way amongst us!

The next part of my trip was to Kenya.  I have been involved in running the school in Kenya since 2007.  This trip was a revision class with the former students, so we reviewed the series of “The Conflict” and the series of “The School of Christ.”  The Director for the SOC in Uganda also joined us and there was great focus and unity of heart as we reviewed the lessons. Toward the end of the revision class we discussed with the former students how the school could move forward in Kenya.  We have already run one school in Kenya this year but as these students talked, they planned tentatively to run two other schools this year.

The final step of the trip was to Geita, Tanzania.  The School of Christ has been run in many places in Tanzania. We first started in Mwanza, then the school spread to many parts of the country. At one point we were running schools every month of the year.  There has always been a great hunger for the training from the Bishops and Pastors in Tanzania.  I had talked with our director for Tanzania about running one full-time school this year. We decided to run the school in Geita, which is a new area for us.  At the beginning of the school we faced a problem. We only had space for 26 pastors to attend the training and 80 pastors turned up, the first 26 were given a place and the others have to wait.  There is a great and effectual door opened to us there, so we are looking at running the school again in the months of August / September.
