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.

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.
