Dear Pastors, Donors & Prayer Partners: Greetings in the Name of Jesus. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:4, 5. KJB. We have much to praise the Lord for regarding the African field. ZAMBIA OUTREACH: The two graduating couples, who felt the call to go to Zambia, arrived safely and are conducting meetings with an average of 300 400 people on Sundays. They are planning a large baptism service at the beginning of April 2012, around the Passover weekend. At present they are busy winning souls and have started a Discipleship program. Feb April (3 months). We are supporting these brethren with finances we receive from our donors stateside. PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS OUTREACH. CHURCHES: Between the years 2009, 2010 and part of 2011, there were 12 new churches planted; These are now fully completed, dedicated and busy winning souls; People are baptized, new converts are being discipled who feel called to study the Word and act on it by becoming soul winners themselves. PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND WISDOM FOR THESE CONGREGATION LEADERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OUTREACHES. PRISON MINISTRY: MALE CHAPLAINS: It is with great excitement and a humble spirit that we report on the following: (About 7 years ago), Six of our Indigenous Pastors who have been serving faithfully in their churches for 15 20 years, had resigned their churches to become full time Chaplains in prison ministries, reaching out to male convicts. They still minister on Sunday mornings at different churches in the towns and rural areas, encouraging young men and women to accept Christ as their Savior, with all their heart and not be led astray by friends, family, or the world. Every Thursday these prisons have given an open invitation to the High School children, to visit, to talk and to pray with the prisoners These Prison Chaplains, together with local Pastors oversee this ministry and many, many, many children are touched by the conditions that prevail in those prisons... (Tears come to our eyes when we remember how these Senior Indigenous Pastors were young people themselves, wandering aimlessly, without hope, without God, without Eternal Life and their commitment to Christ, to the Discipleship Program, the Call of God on their lives, through Bible College, the faithfulness of the longevity of their ministry, has brought forth success and blessings they are now receiving, to see multitudes of people of all ages coming to know Christ as their Personal Savior). This gives Anita and I great joy ! Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: FEMALE CHAPLAINS: (Part time) Female Chaplains are reaching female prisoners, they minister to women, who are receiving the Savior and witnessing their sins being removed as far as the East is from the West, through the Blood of Jesus Christ In the past seven years they have been active, a number of the women who have attended the discipleship program on How To Lead A Soul To Christ now these women are assisting the Senior Part Time Female Chaplains, to reach those in need, those who are hungry, destitute, and naked, (spiritually speaking). Please Note : These Female Chaplains are the wives of the Senior Pastors who stepped out by faith with their husbands to reach deep into the pits of hell to win the lost for our Savior. Amen. be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

SAVED EX-CONVICTS: The men and women (ex-convicts) once they are released into society, the Senior Pastors and their wives keep close contact with all of them by way of prayer meetings, Bible studies, spiritual seminars, discipleship programs, training them how to be a spiritual father, man, son, mother, woman, daughter, to become leaders in society, in the church and in the home. By keeping in touch, these saved exconvicts are directed to different churches and brethren who are concerned for the welfare of these men and women. Not all the churches out there are concerned or interested in the salvation and welfare of these types of people. The success of the above, is now reaching into the business sectors and these men and women are now being employed first as part time and then full time workers. Another blessing Companies are now contacting the prisons requesting saved men and women who are released from their centers for employment. These seminars started many years ago, we now see the fruit of this ministry blooming forth in the power and authority of the word of God Praise be to God. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; FINANCES: We are most grateful, that in the last 12 years, we can humbly declare the Lord has brought us through every year without going into the red or borrowing money from the bank. (Tough Times). You, our prayer partners and donors, have helped Anita and I to pray in the finances for the field and our support. The year 2011 ended with an unexpected financial blessing. This is the first year that we were able to set aside almost $4,000.00 in the Emergency/General Fund for the field. We want to thank you for being there and praying for us, and giving sacrificially. We truly can say: FOR THE LORD IS GOOD; his truth endureth to all generations. PASTORS CHRISTMAS GIFTS: For the last 12 years we have seen an increase in the support for this appeal we make yearly to help the Indigenous Pastors and their families during Christmas with an extra $100.- gift to get on their feet financially. Thank you for your compassionate giving, and praying the finances in for the field. (We do not have enough space to go into every miracle, giving, blessing and protection that we see and hear of from the brethren, of the gracious everlasting mercy and kindness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on the many outreach needs being fulfilled by faith.)
