Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We're pleased to share with you the wonderful things the Lord has been doing in our lives and ministry.
Jennifer's finger is still causing some pain, because the fingernail has not yet returned to its normal level following the emergency surgery she had two months ago. Her primary care physician, who saw her in follow up not long after the surgery, told her it would take a while for the nail to go back down. So we are still praying and waiting on the Lord for that to happen.
During October Len posted Hope's salvation testimony on one of his blogs. In her testimony she describes how she was Given a New Heart with Sweet Peace. It's worth reading. Meanwhile, Len moved Faith's salvation testimony to a public posting, since she is now an adult. If you haven't already read it, it's called My Overflowing Joy in Knowing Jesus.

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 four nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.
"...I have been having no single moment to do what seems necessary, but caught up helping and reaching those in challenges, many missions etc. I thank God that some of them have recovered from critical conditions. One [man] was hospitalised with a stroke, unable to sit, eat or drink, breathing was not well etc. Glory to the Lord, he is recovering. Families have been delivered etc. I will write more on this later...I pray the Lord blesses your endeavours, your prayers etc.
Blessings
Grace Okurut"
In his second email he wrote:
"Hi dear brother Len,
...My life, family, ministry have not remained the same because of your ministry.What more do I say, but to thank God in every situation who brought you to my life. Blessings my brother as we wait for His soon appearing.
Your brother Grace Okurut."
"Dear Brother Len,
Praise the Lord Jesus.
Joining the DTS has brought about changes in different areas in my life.
First of all as I read the word of God every day it has given me a deeper desire to read and study the Bible always.
Secondly through the DTS course works I have gained broader revelation and knowledge of God and I am personally being equipped for everyday ministry as a servant of the Lord. Thirdly, the LTG has given me a sense of accountability on spiritual matters to my LTG group.
Thank you and God bless you.
Christine"
"I appreciate God for using you through this ministry to affect lives beyond your country. Now we are blessed through DTS. This course has helped me and my group, where many are celebrating God faithfulness in their lives. And I know that God will do more than this when people get to [know] more about what we do."
We are also glad to report that the Lord protected sister Rudiah as she traveled from the UAE back to Kenya in September to be reunited with her family. Thank the Lord for His divine protection.
Len sent out his monthly edition of Old News That's Still Fresh in October to pastors, elders, and laborers in the harvest in the US, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia.
Resources: We would like to invite you to read the following recent articles that Len has posted, which include Faith and Hope's salvation testimonies: What We Should Always Be Doing, Given a New Heart with Sweet Peace, and My Overflowing Joy in Knowing Jesus. We would like to remind you that Len's 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.
