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 also took Faith and the boys to the zoo right before her birthday, and they all had a good time there. You can see photos of the trip at the link below.
Christopher finished his summer semester of college courses, doing well on his final exams. He and his brother Joseph are enjoying a little summer break, before Christopher starts his fall semester college course on Network Operating Systems (NOS) on August 15th.
We mentioned last month that we as a family have been distributing the Jesus Film DVD and some gospel tracts, as well as Len's salvation testimony and his book, A Willing Heart to Please the Father, throughout our entire community. Although we finished that outreach on July 3rd, we are now reaching out to another community adjacent to ours. Pray that the Lord would water the seeds of the gospel that were planted.
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 seven nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, South Sudan, Zambia, India, and the United Kingdom.

"I belonged to a church that denied the existence of hell and the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. I also practiced yoga and Martial arts that made me violent. Then one day I had a dream where I saw a fire burning, and I cried for help. God heard me and helped me quit eastern meditation. Then I started teaching on hell fire and the need for people to accept Jesus as [their] personal Saviour. I met people who taught about the same, and since then have been congregating with them. From that time I do personal evangelism and run an intercessory prayer group."
He shared his reason for enrolling in the DTS saying: "I do the work of an evangelist. This has to do with Bible witnessing and prayers. I have been seeking and praying for a course that can equip me more, and came across your institution. I need to be equipped in my work, and as you have a practical aspect, I believe it will help me with God's help."
Let's pray the Lord helps brother Chisha to accomplish that goal and be equipped for works of service as he begins his DTS training. We look forward to serving him in our journey together over the next three years, so that he might truly become a disciple who multiplies disciples.
"Greetings dear, brother Len, in Jesus' Name!
It is amazing seeing God's miracles of healing and deliverance! Akol Joyce healed instantly from pain of the backbone after going through more than 100 injections as she suffered from meningitis.
Three more were delivered from demonic attacks and witchcraft, and many more, as I will communicate.
A Moslem lady on Sunday received the Lord as we visited one of our Church members; glory to God for all He does!
Your brother,
Grace."
Praise the Lord!

"Greetings,
I would like to thank God for this discipleship course. It has enabled me to understand who a disciple is.
It also reinvigorated the zeal to read the word of God, and above all I was chosen to take up leadership of the discipleship classes at my local church.
Glory to God in Jesus name."
Praise the Lord!
"I am sorry, [I'm] on a mission trip for the whole month of August, traversing in the East Africa region visiting Apostolic network members. I need of your prayers.
My Testimony is [that] whatever I am studying in this DTS is practically happening on my journey, and they are just timely [teachings], as I go around meeting church leaders. A lot of pending answers to their questions are being answered from what I [have] studied. There is a lot of dilemma in the body of Christ. Many leaders and Christians are being deceived. Thank God, [because] a lot [of what] I have learnt through DTS has helped sort most of them, especially concerning the [Holy] Trinity, speaking in tongues and Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Thanks to God for the DTS.
Bro John Babu."
Praise the Lord!

"Dear brother Len,
Greetings to you in His precious name.
I am very thankful to you for your encouragement in getting Biblical knowledge.
The DTS course is very useful to me. The subjects like the Holy Trinity, the Person of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit Speaks, and The Spirit Without Limit are very helpful to me. LTG meetings are also useful to me.
Faithfully,
John Sobhan"
Praise the Lord!
Brother Martin in Uganda wrote to Len in August saying:
I thank God for my journey of growing through DTS, as well through LTG. Thank you, brother Len.
I came into DTS broken, but I have since been filled by God with love and hope, and I can only give Him the glory for my transformation through LTG. Throughout, I have learned that we mustn’t allow our past mistakes to define who we are, because transformation is possible with God.
Thank you, and all praise and glory to Jesus!
Brother Martin Kuku William"

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in August to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.
Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.
Resources: 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.
