Charity has been doing some video projects, putting some of her poems to music video. A couple of them that we have posted online include My Letter to the King, Coronation in Jerusalem, All Creation Proclaims, Judgment of Babylon, The Voiceless Innocents, He Loved Us, and Spared, which you may watch if you wish to do so. She produced the main soundtrack in "He Loved Us First," "Coronation in Jerusalem," and also the soundtrack for the credits at the end of "The Voiceless Innocents." Some of her most recent poems include "Royal Intervention" and "Coronation in Jerusalem," which is featured in one of the music videos listed above.
Len and Jennifer have been making progress on our shoulders. We are both nearly pain free, except for certain movements and the fact that Len is still not normally able to sleep on his left shoulder. Regaining our original range of motion is still the big challenge, but the Lord has been healing Len to the point where he almost has full range of motion fully restored. Jennifer still has quite a ways to go on that, and unfortunately she has had this problem long before Len did. Thank you for praying. Please pray for the Lord to drive out all remaining pain, heal all muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and restore full range of motion to our shoulders.
We had a long-awaited, major home repair in November. Thank the Lord for providing for this major expense, which we trust should help keep water away from our home that has been pooling against it and apparently seeping into our foundation.

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. By the grace of God, we currently have disciples in five nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Len also shared with the students a couple of recent dreams he had, the second of which went like this:
"I had a dream last night in which I saw a black man praying on his knees by himself. Initially I saw his face from the front. But then I saw him from his right side side from a low angle that was near the floor, where I was positioned just a couple yards (meters) from him. It was dark, but there were very lovely rays of golden light streaming through what seemed like some bushes or plants that were in front of him. I noticed how my vision zoomed in slowly on that golden light streaming through the petals. It was in various shades of golden color and very soft. I don't know if the man was praying outside in a garden at sunrise or if he was indoors where there were some plants in front of him, such as a church altar, and I don't know whether it was sunlight I saw or heavenly light, but it looked more to me like heavenly light in the spirit that was present because he was praying."

"Thank you so much, Sir.
Concerning the second dream you had, I began to feel a witness last weekend about light from heaven shining into my family and territory. Immediately [once] I started receiving some direction about priesthood and intercession for my territory, this is the word that came. Also I heard something like priesthood of light.
Now your dream opened up to me again all the experiences I was having during the weekend, I just don't know how to explain it, but I feel God is using your dream to confirm my experiences and to let me know that He was really the one talking to me.
God bless you, sir."

"It's been great being in this glorious journey, full of bliss and tranquility. So far, the topics I've had to pass through, have been mind boggling! There's so much I've learned on the Trinity of God, their personalities, and how to categories all them in their functions, but as a mystery, having only one God! As I put this information down, I am all smiles, because of the revelations I've picked up along [the way].
More so, I've had to learn much on the topic of marriage and how the bed should be kept clean. Am not yet married but there are so many things that are happening that are taking people to hell. I didn't know sex had become an issue that transcends to eternity (in heaven or hell). I read a book some time ago about a 'man of God' who supported masturbation. [Although I did not know that] it was such a great evil, I didn't like the book then, but I couldn't go on reading it! I think God knew its demonic impacts.
So much light, has also been shed on the popular gospel moving around! I always wanted to be this great man of God, to be honest! To be known in the international scene, but I've come to realize that it's better to humble, and in due season God will lift you up! Regardless of the position you are in.
I would love to say, thank you so much for the topics concerning the 'KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD'. I've been troubled over the same issue for long, trying to do all that my hands could find; to [make] ends meet, ministry, not knowing [that] God knows us thoroughly! Particularly, I was greatly touched so much by the story of [Dr. Andrew Stenhouse], whom God visited when he was still a young person, and commanded him to be [a physician]! I was astounded because that was the perfect will of God for him, all the days of his life! And that's where he saw the hand of God moving mightily.
It's been a great lesson to me, and I've purposed to seek God for him to show me the particular thing I need to do, even though I love ministry so much! I learned Disaster Management and International Relations in one of our local universities, but I always find myself thinking about ministry more than any other thing! Because it's great to know the particular thing God has created you for.
I was also touched so much by the angelic visitations to brother Roland Buck and the great lessons I got. I wish I could write [more], but I think that's enough for now...
Have a great time with God's blessings."
More DTS Testimonies
In October, Len received the following comment from a reader:
"Mr. Len, thank you, God bless and increase you in a supernatural way, may your family be protected, delivered from the hands of the wicked ones, grant you more knowledge, wisdom and understanding in every endeavor of yours and fill your mouth with uncommon testimonies. Sir, I was also a soldier like you but now a Pastor, Soldier and a warrior in Christ Jesus. In fact God directed me to your blog. I have been posting some of your articles on my whatsapp status and facebook page, and so many people called me to help them stop certain kinds of lifestyles and also lead them to Christ. What you are doing is working and saving lives. Therefore may God increase you. Greetings from our Lord Jesus Christ."
Praise the Lord!

Len also received the following letter in November from one of our students in Nigeria, brother John:

Your article affirmed my conviction that most Christian/Gospel music is not accepted by God, even if the name of Jesus is mention inside. It is true and correct and worthy of all acceptance by me. Our God is a Holy God.
I understand now the difference between the covenant, as a means of justification in the sight of God, and the commandments that timelessly represent the ways and will of God. I can distinguish now [between] the external regulations for worship (in terms of gifts, sacrifices, food, drink, and ceremonial washings) and the commandments that define sin and express the ways of God for all ages.
My belief is affirmed that “All the scriptures of the Old Testament that were to be fulfilled in the Messiah had their full accomplishment in the Lord Jesus, which abundantly proves that this was he that should come. In the providence of God, it is fit to observe the fulfilling of the scriptures. The works of God are the accomplishment not only of his secret Word, but of his Word revealed; and it helps me to understand both the scriptures and the providence of God to compare them one with another.”
I came to understand that, there are gaps in the scripture that need to be understood in order to handle the Word of God correctly. It helps me to better understand what took place in the interim during the gap.
I came to now understand that, there is unity of Scripture throughout the entire Bible, even though it was written by forty different inspired men in different settings...The knowledge has caused me to have thought about you: Please, may the LORD, the Father of our Lord JESUS CHRIST bless you richly for this impartation."

"Hi brother!
These lessons have changed my life: Hamartiology II (especially contraception use, eternal destinations, and Godly Attire and Adornment...I continue to share with the Christians here, and repentance with tears is happening. Glory be to the Lord, as we wait for His second coming!
Blessings!"
Len sent out his monthly edition of Old News That's Still Fresh in November to pastors, elders, and laborers in the harvest in the US, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia.
Resources: This month we would like to suggest some articles Len has recently written called The Sin of Sodom and Coronation of Christ as King. Len's latest articles are all available at Old News That's Still Fresh -- November 2019. His entire collection of his most popular blogs are at Writing for the Master.
