Shalom!

Peace and Grace be multiplied unto you! Hope you are doing great with your family and the church family. By the grace of God I am doing fine and I finished well my nine months Bible School and my three months outreach. It was an amazing and fruitful experience. I am so thankful to God for his faithfulness during this year of training. I want as well to recognize the important role you play to make this training happen, possible for me. Thank you so much for your fervent prayers and financial sacrifices to support me. As I am writing, this scripture comes in my mind Philippians 4:14-20  “Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”

I appreciate with all heart how you have been willing and open to support and invest in me. Thank you for your partnership in the work of God’s Kingdom. You have supplied my needs and carried me in your heart. Thank you so much!  

Titus Project Outreach has been very significant for me in this sense that I have seen the need of Bible Teacher across all Zambia where I went for outreach. It is incredible to see the desperate need of Bible Teachers; the believers are very hungry of the word of God. Many traveled many miles by feet or by bicycle to come and be part of our seminars. Pastors and church leaders are in need of the Word, to be equipped to be more effective in their ministry. My mind is blown away by seeing Pastors with many years experience in the ministry refreshed and receiving with high gratitude the tools we were given them to be able to study the Bible in a new way.   

                  Fun Time

As team we had the privilege to visit Victoria Fall in Livingstone and had two days of debriefing before to return to South Africa. It was a refreshing moment after a hard work, to see the wonders of God     and reflect on the greatness of God.

THANKSGIVING

•  I am grateful to God for his faithfulness. He provided financially for me to be able to go and teach His word.

• God’s divine protection during the outreach

• I also want to Thank You for being part of this outreach by praying for and supporting me financially.

      If I was able to go and minister it was because of your obedience to God to give your time in prayer and to give your money. 

  Next Season

The Lord has been challenging me to take two years commitment here with Ywam Muizenberg in South Africa. I will be working with the department of the Biblical Studies. I will be helping with the Bible School but I will be more involved with the Mobile / Titus Project Team of the department. The Mobile Team is equipping the Local Churches in the Townships and others areas of Cape Town and over the nation. By Trainings, Bible Studies and Empowering believers with the word of God so that they can grow and be able to live an healthy spiritual life with the Lord and with one another.  Every July to September we will be taking the Biblical Studies graduate students to train and equip them how to teach, how to prepare a teaching, preaching and how to present it and then sent them around Africa where there is need of bible training and to equip church leaders with the word of God. I will be taking teams to the nations as did during my outreach.

I am pretty excited for these two years commitment. I will be investing where my passion, my vision is: disciple and equip the Local church to see true transformation in the Church and the Community.

It was a big decision to make for me. My plan was to go back to my country and start pioneering a new Ywam Base but the Lord is calling me to invest in this country and start to share some of the things He has been invested in me these few pass years.

Right now I am currently training church planters in the School of Church Planting & Leadership (CPL) for these three months and from the 16^th of December we will be sending a team to South Sudan and a team will remain here in South Africa for a local outreach. We have 7 students:  1 from South Africa, 1 from Republic of Congo – 1 from Nigeria – 1 from USA – 1 couple from Germany & Norway – 1 from Brazil.
