September Update -- 2023

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.

Family: In September, Len traveled to New Hampshire by plane for the burial of one of his sisters. He spent three days and three nights there at the home of a brother in Christ. At the burial and reception, he was reunited with his sisters and many other relatives whom he hadn't seen for years. Praise the Lord for His protection from accidents during the trip, as there were a few close calls, but He had His angels around us keeping us all safe.

Christopher continues to apply for positions that he is qualified for, but still has not been offered a job. It has been very quiet. Searching for a job these days is mostly an online experience, unlike in the past when it used to involve going to businesses, applying within, and then following up in person. Many of these jobs he applies for online do not even reply to him, and there is no way to follow up with them after he sends in his resume with a cover letter. So all he can do is continue to apply for more positions as we all continue to pray.

Meanwhile, Christopher has been serving as technical support lead for our ministry, helping us here in the States, as well as helping out students overseas. He's also been serving as National Facilitator for Kenya.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eighth year, 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, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.

We have a new student in Uganda, named Maureen that has recently enrolled in our DTS after brother Grace, one of our graduates there, who's a pastor, talked with her about the school and invited her to apply for enrollment. 

She indicated on her enrollment application, "I want to enroll for the course because I have a gift to serve God. I want to serve God with the full understanding of His Word, [especially] in these last days."

Praise the Lord for bringing her into our midst, so that we can disciple her. We welcome her and look forward to serving her over the next three years of our journey together with her. 

Brother Henry in South Sudan, who is one of our students there, sent us this testimony in September, after he finished studying Angelic Encounters as part of our DTS course called Angelology II:

"Brother Len,

This subject sounds too real. When I went through reading all the testimonies in this chapter, I [realized that] I also had [once] experienced the same. In 2021, when I was coming from the field for the work of God, I was in the vehicle alone. The vehicle lost control, overturned three times, and hit electric poles, plus the transformer fell on the vehicle. The whole vehicle was crushed, but I was inside alive. I didn't even have any scars, and everyone around thought I was dead, but I was okay and not feeling any pain. I believe this was an angelic encounter. 

Glory be to God.

My best regards,

Bro Henry."

Praise the Lord for our brother's amazing testimony of a miraculous escape from a serious accident that could have ended his life. It certainly seems like the Lord had his angels around brother Henry to protect him.

We would like to share a praise report regarding sister Catherine, one of our DTS students in England, who was recently interviewed in her home on God TV, Randy Kay, and Fishers of Men (Halifax), in order to share her testimony. She wrote to us in September:

"Dear broth Len and sis Jennifer,

Last week at a Church meeting, a new lady came to our Church, Sarah, and I gave her my testimony. She got saved, as we prayed the prayer of salvation. Now she wants to get baptized which is wonderful. Thank and praise our Lord.

Then this week I had a dream about being at church and teaching the Second Chapter of Acts. Jesus came and said, 'Tell my Church to learn and do the Second Chapter of Acts, and go out and spread the gospel, casting out demons, and healing the sick, and praying for my Church to wake up and bring  revival.' As Jesus said this, it reminded me of His message from a vision I had in December 2022  that we are running out of time to spread the gospel and save lost souls. We all have an urgent mission. So I continue to pray and work towards witnessing more to the lost.

I am praying for you all. Bless you all.

With love in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Sis Catherine"

Praise the Lord! You can read two articles about Catherine's two encounters in heaven here called Teen Dies, Enters Heaven, Meets Jesus -- Catherine's Testimony and Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven.

More DTS Testimonies

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in September to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also, as it contains some excellent articles you won't find anywhere else.

Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above may have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.

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 the Lord's protection over Len, Jennifer, and the boys in all the travels associated with his trip to New Hampshire for his sister's burial.
2. For the opportunity sister Catherine had to share her testimony at church, and for the woman who got saved when she prayed with her.
3. For bringing sister Maureen in Uganda into our DTS.
4. For the amazing testimonies of God's work in the lives of our students.
5. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
6. For the Lord's leading, guidance, wisdom, and help administering the Doulos Training School (DTS), and for the progress the students are making.

Prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to help Christopher to find an excellent, good-paying job in the IT field.
2. For the Lord to provide for all the needs of our DTS students.
3. 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. 
4. 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).
5. For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

with love from all of us,

The Lacroixs
