April Update 2017

Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  We're pleased to share with you what the Lord has been doing in our lives and ministry.

Family: Since we last wrote to you, we have made a long distance move to another place of residence. We are glad to have all that behind us now, and thank the Lord for getting us here.

Denis Lacroix

We also want to make a special prayer request for our Office Manager and Bookkeeper, Denis Lacroix, who has labored faithfully in this ministry and is a critically important member of our team. Please pray for a miraculous healing for him in his kidney, as he was recently informed of a tumor that could possibly be malignant. It is especially serious, since this is his one and only remaining kidney. The other one was removed about twenty years ago. Please stand with us in faith believing God for a supernatural miracle, whereby the Lord would grant him a brand new kidney.

Ministry:  As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), we'd like to update you on the good things that God is doing with it. Currently we have eight students in six nations including Nigeria, Kenya, United Kingdom, Mali, Liberia, and Germany. Sister Collete in Mali shared the following testimony:

"Dear brother Leonard,

I have two testimonies.

One, for the last one year or so I have been waiting  upon the Lord to lead me to a Church that preaches holiness, and where Godly attire is respected. It had been one of my greatest challenges. God being faithful directed me to one Church yesterday, and I can happily say that I am at home. Surely God answers prayers of his faithfuls. Glory be to his name.

Second testimony is concerning my daughter. She got a job in the UN as a temporary contract last September. Normally it takes at least two years before one can be given a fixed term contract, but glory be to God who made an exemption, and on the first of April she got her fixed term. The Doer of all these marvelous things is Christ.

Stay blessed

Sister in Christ

Collete."

Len continues to write articles, and in February sent out his usual monthly edition of Old News That's Still Fresh to pastors, elders, and laborers in the harvest in Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and USA. He received the following feedback in April from Grace, who is a pastor in Uganda, Africa:

"Brother Len, you don't know how your articles have touched me!! Just this morning I have been going through [your articles] 'Here I am Send Me,' and 'Is Repentance Possible During the Great Tribulation?' Throughout last week the Lord was speaking to us in a prayer closet to reach out to His people; for they are dying without repenting, and just the same week we shared about the last days, rapture, tribulation....!! I wish and I pray for the Lord to help and give us a laptop. This would help me and these folks. Pray with us please, brother Len. There is a lot of information you send for us to study and is powerful!! Blessings, Grace Okurut."

"Lord, You establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished You have done for us." (Is 26:12)

Resources:  This month we would like to suggest some articles Len has recently written called Running from God and Wesley's Sunday Sabbath Keeping. Len's latest articles are all available at Old News That's Still Fresh - April 2017. His entire collection of his most popular blogs are at Writing for the Master.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. For enabling us to move to another place of residence.
2. For helping sister Collete find a church family where she can worship and fellowship
3. For helping Collete's daughter to get a long-term employment contract.
4. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
5. For the Lord's leading, guidance, and help administering the Doulos Training School (DTS), and for the progress the students are making.
6. For the lives being touched for Christ around the world through our writing ministry.
7. For the words of encouragement we have received from the people being touched, including the pastor in Uganda named Grace Okurut. 
8. For the significant relief Len is experiencing from sciatic pain.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to grant Denis a miraculous healing in his kidney.
2. For the Lord to assist us with the administration of the Doulos Training School (DTS), as well as develop through it many disciples who multiply disciples. 
3. For the Lord to help all of our DTS students to find LTG partners (another Christian to meet with weekly for discipleship in a Life Transformation Group).
4. For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.
5. For the Lord to send His angels with Len’s written messages to those who need them, and for an open heaven over them when they receive his messages. 
6. For the Lord to move mountains to raise up new faith partners, including those who would sponsor our students, and for Him to provide for all our needs -- not only ours personally, but also those of the ministry -- as He releases a financial miracle.

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

with love from all of us,

The Lacroixs
