Isaiah 12:5-6
Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

In the months of January and February we have completed two full-time trainings in Goma, Congo and Nakivale, Uganda.

The next schools start in April, in the following countries.

Ivory Coast
Uganda
Rwanda

Throughout these schools the constant emphasis is to become the Truth they are learning.  Christ must be made real to the heart and in our yielding to His purpose be allowed to live His Life through a human vessel. 

In each school the day begins with one hour of prayer and closes with another hour of prayer after eight lessons. The training lasts approximately four weeks.

Light In The World Ministries March 2025

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!

Picture Above: Kampala, Uganda

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.

Picture Above: Gisenyi, Rwanda

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.

Picture Above: Lome, Togo

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!

Picture Above: Nkwenda, Tanzania

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 Update November 2014

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.

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 September 2014

Posted on September 12, 2014 | Leave a comment
1 Thessalonians 2:4

(4)  But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

I am thankful for the Lord’s reminder through the Word of God, that it is His Gospel, His Church, His Word and in His infinite wisdom He has entrusted the care of such to men.  So Paul states that his desire is to please God with that trust.

As the ministry moves forward in Africa, it is my desire that we would indeed please God with the work that He has entrusted to our care.

I just recently returned from Africa where schools were running in Burkina Faso, Kenya and Democratic Republic of Congo.

A school was planned for Nigeria, but it was canceled due to improper organization. We have now postponed that school until November.

It was our first time to run a school in Burkina Faso. We had 45 pastors in attendance from different organizations but mostly from the Assembly of God church. During the second week of the training we lost twenty of the pastors due to the discipline and teaching of the school.  Some of the pastors did not agree with the teaching, which caused disruption and confusion to the class, so they were asked to leave.  Thankfully, those who were hungry for truth and reality came through refined and ready to go back to their churches seeking to please God and be a blessing to God’s Church.

In Democratic Republic of Congo I met with the present class and former students of the School of Christ.  There is great team of workers in DRC who throughout this year have sought to take the school into other cities in their country.

Other schools that have graduated during this past couple of months are in Congo Republic (Brazzaville) and Togo.

We are presently running schools in this month of September in Uganda and Tanzania.

I do request your prayers for the the brethren on the ground in these countries who help us in forwarding the work of the Lord across Africa.  Please also remember me in prayer, that I would have wisdom in proceeding forth with the ministry across Africa.

Light In The World Ministries April 2014

Posted on May 13, 2014 | Leave a comment
We just completed three schools in the month of April in Nairobi, Kenya; Rwamagana, Rwanda; and Mubende, Uganda.  I count it a great privilege to witness the great hunger there is amongst the Lord’s servants in Africa.  There is a priceless sobriety, discipline and yearning to seek the things of God. May God continue to water, give life and minister to His leaders in that continent.

Whenever I visit the schools, my work is mostly overseeing and making sure that the schools are functioning in the lines of discipline, adherence to Biblical truth, and accountability in the finances.  We have native directors on the ground that see to the actual daily running of the schools. I try to spend a few days with each class in most countries, during which time I see how the director is doing and how the school is functioning.
Image
Picture of Graduation: Rwamagana, Rwanda. April 2014
 The job of these directors is more than just playing videos.  They have to answer questions, keep the discipline in the class, and make sure the cooks are not siphoning off the food to somewhere else.
Most importantly, they set the example for the class. That means they have to be present for the prayer meetings and ensure that no heretical teaching creeps in.  They have to understand that the position they hold is not for the propagation of their own ideas (the school is not a platform for their own personal ministry.)  Not every pastor or preacher can be one of these directors. We carefully choose them.  Not all the directors have stayed with us, some have been like Judas, some have had their own ideas and so we let them go their ways – but we continue forward.  Knowing what the Lord has placed in our trust is vitally important to us. We take seriously the charge and seek to hold that stewardship for His Glory and Kingdom.
Other schools that have finished recently and some presently running are as follows:
There has been a youth session in Brazzaville, Congo Republic; and regular schools in Togo and Ivory Coast.  In Democratic Republic of Congo they are starting a school in a place Kasaji, which is a completely new area.
