Let me share with you what I have been doing. In January we had a Level 2 Seminar with Delight in Harare. He did quite well. There were 5 students trained and all of them passed. At the open air 70% gave their life to the Lord. I am so happy to see this young man growing as a strong leader in the army of the Lord.
I also had some time with Emmanuel who is also conducting Open Airs in St Mary’s township. I had time to encourage and help him improve his ministry.
Also in January we went to Chihota for three days. Chihota is in Mashonaland South. And it is 167 km from Harare. So if you go there you must be prepared to stay for some time away from home. We had a Level 1 seminar in Pastor Herbert’s home area with 12 students and conducted an open air which saw us counsel 19 people. Eight were from Village 10, a nearby village. Follow ups were arranged in Village 10 and the new believers are serious about their decision. So a church was started in that area.
With that opening I saw a need for me to regularly go there and continue to disciple believers there and do open airs. That area is really ripe for the gospel. Twice a week I have been there since then.
Early February we conducted a Level 2 Seminar for 6 of the 12 students we trained in January. The results were awesome. There are open doors for Church planting in other areas in Chihota.
We were targeting to plant three Churches this year but it looks like there are going to be more than that number. In Harare I have managed to speak to 16 Pastors who are all in need of the SOWERS Program. The work is slowly growing.
We praise the Lord for your faithfulness in prayer!
Blessings!
