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. We hope you will read this to the end, as we have lots of praise reports, good news, and prayer requests.
Family: Christopher is continuing with his summer-semester college courses, and Joseph is doing his year-end, standardized tests in homeschool. Christopher is still searching for employment in the field of IT Desktop Support, as he continues serving as our DTS Facilitator for Kenya, as well as overall IT Support Specialist for DMI, while working an average of 30 hours per week at the deli. Please pray for the Lord to help him with these responsibilities, as well as Joseph with his tests.
Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its ninth 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, Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.
In June, Len received the following praise report from sister Catherine, one of our DTS students in England.
Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer.
"I would be happy for you to include my thoughts on Third Year First Quarter, Nomology II. The Spirit of the Law is Life was brilliant. It goes with the Scripture John 15: 4-9. in which Jesus said, 'Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.' These are very valuable teachings that I will follow and live by everyday. It has brought me much closer to our Lord by your teachings, and I highly recommend the Doulos Training School, which has helped me to grow so much in our Lord. Thank you, and thank and praise our Lord.
The other news is that Sue and I prayed over Eileen [Catherine's LTG partners], as she couldn't talk due to some muscle disease. We prayed over her with the Scripture verse from Isaiah 53: 4-5. 'And by His wounds you are healed.' And she was instantly healed. It proves the scripture, Hebrews 13: 8, which says, 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever,' and Malachi 3:6, which says, 'For I am the Lord, I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.'
Psalm 119: 89 says, 'For ever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven.' Thank you, I'll get back to you soon. I am praying for you all. Bless you all.
With love in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sis Catherine."
Glory to God for the way He healed Eileen from her inability to speak! If you would like to read about another lady who was supernaturally delivered from muteness, you can find the brief account of it in the Illustrations section of Len's article, The Authority of the Believer.
Brother Henry, one of our students in South Sudan wrote the following testimony to Len in June:
"Dear bro Len,
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
After my recent course of third year third quarter, warning the church about the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ has been one of my messages, I have received great resistance, even one person asking who sent me, which has not been happening before. I thank God because I have taken the way of Christ.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry"
Praise the Lord. It's normal to encounter resistance, when we preach the truth. He also stated after beginning his study on How to Heal the Sick: "Learning about praying for someone who's not present was an interesting topic. I have been doing this and people have been testifying greatly. I remember one day I prayed with a certain lady, her daughter had a mental problem and she was in Uganda and the mother was in South Sudan, I told her to come with the photo for the sick girl, we prayed like that and instantly that girl received her healing."
Glory to God!
He also shared with Len what God did through him as he was studying How to Heal the Sick in his final quarter:
"After learning how to heal the sick, yesterday someone told me about a young boy who is around five years old, very sick. They moved him to different hospitals until he was discharged without any changes in his health. I went there immediately. I asked the mother through preaching to accept Jesus as her Lord, which she did. After that I commanded healing to the boy, I commanded the pain to go. I told her if this baby sleeps, he will wake up healed, and this is exactly what happened, I give all the glory to God for that amazing healing."
Hallelujah! We are so pleased with the way brother Henry is putting into practice what he is learning in the DTS, and we know the Lord is pleased, too. Praise God for saving that mother and healing her boy.
Sister Mwendwa in Kenya shared the following with Len in June:
"The main highlight for me was the Share Jesus presentation. I really loved it and plan by God's grace to use it. I know evangelism is the heartbeat of the Lord, and I loved the emphasis on this. If we don’t witness, we can’t claim to be Christians. Silence is a sin.
I have been doing poorly with evangelism this quarter because of my new job and that has made me sad but I’m praying to God that my schedule eases out and I get into a stable work routine so I can go back to the evangelism momentum I was building before I started this job.
Kind Regards,
sis Mwendwa"
Hallelujah! To God be the glory!
"Praise the Lord bro Len,
I am grateful to God for the opportunity He has given me to learn and be equipped for ministry through DTS. I thank God that in April on Resurrection Sunday, I ministered in a crusade, and fifteen people gave their lives to Christ. Hallelujah. On 15th of April my dad passed on to glory, but God saw us through that tough moment and He's still comforting us.
In May, by the grace of God I completed my 3rd year, 3rd quarter successfully, thanks bro Len for allowing God to use you in discipling me. The Lord healed me from Malaria, thanks...for standing with me in prayer during that time, now I am well. DTS has encouraged and challenged me to witness for Christ daily through the word of God, prayer and fellowships (LTG meetings).
I thank God for Christopher, brother Len's son, who has always given me technical assistance in the area of IT during my course work. All Glory And Honor Be To Our God, Amen.
Sister Rebecca."
Praise the Lord!
Brother Grace, who is a pastor in Uganda and one of our DTS graduates, serving as our DTS Facilitator in that country, wrote the following testimony to Len in June:
"Greetings brother Len,
It was a wonderful time with the Holy Spirit in one of the Churches in Kumi town. In attendance were pastors and other ministers of the Lord. Most received the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and the Lord's fire is continuing in people's lives, most who received this baptism for the first time.
Blessings brother,
Bro Grace."
We rejoice that the Lord is opening doors of ministry opportunity for brother Grace in his native country and using him for His glory. Numerous pastors have converged together with him at his location in Uganda for an evangelistic campaign, and we are praying for a harvest of souls.
Upcoming Missions Trips
Len is preparing to go on a missions trip to New Mexico (June), soon after this newsletter is published, and Bulgaria in the late summer or early fall. Pray that the Lord will allow all those plans to materialize successfully for His glory and provide for them.
Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in June to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.
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:
- For the amazing testimonies of all our DTS students and graduates, including the many souls saved and all the marvelous healings.
- For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings.
- For the Lord's leading, guidance, wisdom, and help administering the Doulos Training School (DTS), and for the progress the students are making.
- For the Lord to help Christopher to find an excellent, well-paying job in the IT field, as well as help him with all of his many responsibilities.
- For the Lord to provide for all the needs of our DTS students.
- For the Lord to give us wisdom and assist us with the administration of the Doulos Training School (DTS), as well as develop through it many disciples who multiply disciples.
- For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.
- For the Lord to lead, guide, and provide for ministry travel, as Len makes plans for the second half of 2024.
- For the Lord to use Len mightily for His glory on his upcoming trip to New Mexico in June, that there would be a powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit upon him that will result in the Church being edified, instructed, and encouraged, accompanied by signs and wonders following, as well as the multiplication of many disciples of Christ. And for all the logistical aspects of air and land travel, as well as lodging, that they would be safe, smooth-going, and without delay or incident.
with love from all of us,
The Lacroixs
