His Faithfulness during 2012.
Looking Back in 2012
With a
grateful heart I want to THANK God for His Faithfulness in my life during 2012.
I have seen growth in my life: growth in my relationship with Him—growth in the
ministry. God has been Faithful in His provision in my life. What a blessing to
have had been an instru-ment of God to teach and equip churches, disciples,
pastors, church’s leaders in South Africa and West Africa.
still
is. Your encouragement and financial support allowed me to accomplish my
mission dur-ing 2012. Many lives have been encouraged and edified by throughout
the teachings, preach-ing’s, Many salvations and people baptized in the Name of
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. People have been healed in their
physical bodies. Glory to God!
I was
able to take a Titus Project Team to West Africa (Togo
and Burkina Faso)
for one month. After I was able to stay behind and went back in Togo help pioneer the School of Bi-ble
Studies in Ywam Base of Noepe. It was an amazing and rewarded 3 months.
I want
to say THANK YOU to you for being a faithful partner and I was after the
quar-ter in Togo
I returned in Burkina and had the privilege to celebrate Christmas and New Year
with my family. It was a blessing, an encouragement to me and to my parents as
well! It was a great time of reconnection with family, home churches and
friends.
Update
In my last newsletter I
shared with you my plans to extend stay to be able to go in mission trip in
Central Africa (Cameroon)
and to Nigeria.
I was supposed to leave the 12th January but for visa slaw process I finally
left the 17th. But the Lord used my extended time in Benin for His glory. In Cotonou I had the
privilege to preach, teach in a church and share the Gospel in a High School.
It pleased to the Lord to use that opportunity to bring some students to
salvation. Glory to God!
I
arrived safe in Yaoundé, had a great welcome! It is my first time in Cameroon!
Barely arrived I had a program on Sunday the 20th with the “Church for All
Nations” I started my teaching program with the School of Bible Studies (SBS)
on Monday the 21st on the Gospel of John. Next week I will be teaching the Book
of Revelation. After Revela-tion I am teaching the Book of Exodus. SBS here is
at their second quarter. The school has 6 amazing students: 1 from Benin, 2 from Congo Brazzaville and 3 from Cameroon with 2
fulltime staff. I have some seminars with few churches. I will be sharing with
the Discipleship Training School as well. Keep me in your
prayers for strength and anointing from the Lord to deliver His word in a deep
way! The 19th I will be leaving to Nigeria Port Harcourt for 3 weeks of
teaching as well. Keep me in prayer for the next step and for more provision as
well to finish well my trip.
