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

Goma, DR Congo

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