July Update -- 2025

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 June, we went to the beach for three days as a family. While we were there, we walked along the ocean shore, enjoyed beautiful sunsets, and took the ferry. We visited the North Carolina Aquarium as well.

Meanwhile Joseph completed his ninth grade, followed by the Iowa exam, and continues with his locksmith training.

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 three nations including Kenya, South Sudan, Nigeria, and Uganda.

In July, Len received the following email from one of our graduates in England named Catherine:

Dear brother Len and sis Jennifer.

On Thursday last week, Sue and John and a few others went street witnessing in the afternoon. Three Muslims got saved. They all said they believed Jesus was a prophet. We explained Jesus is the Son of God and he died for our sins and he is the Savior of all mankind. We explained the Trinity and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They want to learn more so they are coming back tomorrow afternoon.

Two young girls and a Mother who were on drugs got saved, Thank and praise our Lord. And they want to join the Church.

Les, Doug and Andrew said some eight students got saved too. We hope to help them more tomorrow afternoon. 

Our Lord told me that revival is coming to many countries soon, and the Rapture and the seven-year Tribulation is nearer, and it's so urgent to witness to the lost. The harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few. So I am fasting and praying more.

At the Evangelical Church I joined, they had a special service on Saturday as twenty people had gotten saved and joined the Church, eleven were teenage college students and nine were adults. Thank and praise our Lord.

Bless you all.

With love in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sister Catherine."

Praise the Lord! We rejoice at the way the Lord is using our sister Catherine in England through her prayer and gospel outreach ministries.

DTS Testimonies

In July, Len received word from brother Henry, one of our graduates in South Sudan that he had been attacked late at night by unknown gunmen in his home, who spent two hours there searching for things to steal like his cell phone, and they stole almost everything, even stole his mattress right off of his bed.   

The thieves were preparing to rape his wife, but the Lord spoke through one of the robbers telling the others not to do so.  During the robbery, they were severely beaten with handguns, and his wife sustained painful injury to her back, as well as emotional trauma. He wrote:

"Dear bro Len,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am so grateful to God for the gift of life and divine protection, my family was attacked by gun men, who robbed almost everything, but didn't touch life. I give God all the glory, and above all I thank God for people who are receiving Jesus Christ in South Sudan. There's a great work that God is doing in this country through the knowledge acquired from DTS.

Bro Henry."

We took up an offering through a GiveSendGo campaign for brother Henry online, and if you would like to contribute, you may still do so at the following link. Upon receiving the love offering, he wrote:

"Dear bro,

I am much grateful, I can't write in words to express my appreciation for the love offering. I really appreciate the support. God is really faithful. Please I am much grateful to God for the support, I am thanking you for the support and please am also humbly extending my thanks to the team that contributed this lovely offering to me for the work of God to continue. We have been speechless on how we are going to start, but this love offering has opened the door for the great start.

Bro Henry."

Please pray that the Lord will restore everything that the enemy has stolen from brother Henry and his wife, that He will heal his wife from her emotional and physical wounds, and that He would always protect them from harm in this dangerous mission field that they are serving in for the sake of Christ and His gospel.

Sister Marina from Bulgaria contacted Len in July to update him about a recent missions trip to Turkey she went on. She met a Christian Iranian refugee family at the church there, whose twelve-year old son, named Sina (pictured left) is suffering from deafness. He was born hearing, but his hearing declined over the years, so that he needed hearing aids. But now the hearing aids are no longer helping him. So we prayed for him over the phone for a miraculous healing. Please agree with us in prayer for the Lord to restore his hearing.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

In our May newsletter, we asked you to pray for brother Grace, one of our graduates in Uganda, for the Lord to heal him from the injury to his lower back. Not long after that he reported that his back was feeling better. Praise God for healing him. He wrote to Len in July saying:

"Good afternoon dear bro Len,

Praise the Lord!

I really thank God for what He is doing in my life and ministry! Through what I learned from DTS, God has opened a wide door of like minded people coming together to evangelize our communities for Jesus Christ. 

I always go out with our team of men and women. Lots of people are giving their lives to Jesus Christ every week, plus many healings [are happening], glory to God!

Be blessed brother, 

Your bro, Grace."

Hallelujah! Keep praying please for our students and graduates like brother Grace that the Lord would continue to multiply disciples through them like this.

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 giving us a few days off together at the beach.
2. For protecting brother Henry and his wife from being killed or seriously harmed by the robbers who attacked them.
3. For the testimonies of sister Catherine and brother Grace about the souls being saved and people being healed..
4. For healing brother Grace's lower back.
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 our son, Christopher, to find an excellent, well-paying job in the IT field.
2. For the Lord to provide for all the needs of our DTS students and graduates, especially brother Henry and his wife at this time.

May Update -- 2025

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 May, Christopher graduated from college and earned his Associates in Applied Science Degree in IT Technical Support and Services. He has three electives in general subjects like Psychology and Communications that he must complete over the next nine weeks, beginning on May 19th, and then he'll be done completely. He is a very diligent student and the Lord enabled him to graduate with high honors. You can check out the photos and a 3 second video at the link below. 

Now he needs to find a job, because despite his excellent credentials, he has not been hired by anyone during his two-year job search for employment in the IT field. He continues to work part time at the deli though. We also celebrated his twentieth birthday in May with singing, prayer, cards, and gifts. 

Meanwhile Joseph continues with his homeschool studies, his locksmith training, and is about to conclude his ninth year of school. He'll be taking the Iowa standardized tests in June, as he does at the end of each school year.

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 three nations including Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda.

In May, Len received the following email from one of our students in South Sudan named Amani, who is in her first year:

"Dear brother Len,

I hope this email finds you well.

I really want to thank God for the great things He’s doing in my life through DTS. For sure my life has changed since I joined DTS. 

Since 2021, I couldn’t do any service in the church. I could not even pray or read the Bible, but now I can pray, and I’m also preaching the gospel powerfully. Thanks be to God and the DTS family.

Your sister in Christ, 

Amani."

Praise the Lord! We rejoice at the way the Lord is using our sister Amani in South Sudan in new ways in the Church through her prayer and gospel preaching ministries. Certainly this is good and pleasing to our Heavenly Father. A special thanks goes to our brother Henry, who is facilitating our students there in South Sudan in a very difficult and challenging environment.

DTS Testimonies

In May, Len received the following testimony from brother Grace, one of our graduates in Uganda:

"Greetings dear brother Len, 

The Lord has been so good to us, in that we have seen Him save Muslims during our two weeks of evangelism. They had been going through a series of demonic attacks; but by the time I and my team reached and shared the gospel with them, they readily accepted the Lord, and were delivered. Glory to God!

Bro Grace." 

Praise the Lord! It's always wonderful to hear how the Lord continues to bring the lost into His kingdom -- even the Muslims in Uganda. To God be all the glory! Let's pray the Lord would continue to use brother Grace and his team for God's glory like this, and that the Lord would heal him from lower back pain that began recently when he injured his back.

In May, sister Catherine in England, who is one of our recent DTS graduates sent the following update on her ministry activities there. 

"Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer,

Thank you for your message. I had a lot of pain in my stomach, after a week of successful witnessing. Three people got saved last week, and three people got healed.

[Among those who were] saved, one girl got healed of cancer, another girl got healed of stomach trouble, and a man got healed of a liver disease and free from drug addiction.

Since then I've had trouble with my stomach.  There is a healing service on Sunday morning at an Evangelical Church. So I'll go on Sunday.

Praying for you all. Bless you all.

With love in Jesus Christ our Lord,

Sister Catherine."

Hallelujah! Let's pray for sister Catherine to be healed from this chronic, recurring stomach pain. It seems like an attack from the enemy who doesn't want her evangelizing as she has been doing. And let's pray the Lord would continue to use her mightily in healing and evangelism.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in May to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. For helping Christopher to earn his Associates in Applied Science degree and graduate from college.

April Update -- 2025

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.  

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 three nations including Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda.

In April, Len received the following email from one of our students in South Sudan named Isaac, who is in his first year:

"Dear bro Len,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank God for knowledge I have acquired from DTS Light, I feel much zeal for the gospel which I never used to feel before, I started preaching in schools and I see students giving their lives to Jesus, I thank bro Henry for always encouraging to continue and great appreciation to bro Len for the opportunity.

Bro Isaac."

Hallelujah! We rejoice at the way the Lord is using our brother Isaac in South Sudan in new and amazing ways to reach people for Christ there, especially in the schools. We know the Lord is very pleased with his progress and we are, too. His facilitator, brother Henry, is always so diligent to follow up and encourage our DTS students there, as he has done with brother Isaac.

DTS Testimonies

In April, brother Henry in South Sudam, who is one of our DTS graduates and a pastor there serving as our South Sudan Facilitator, sent the following update: 

"Dear bro Len,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank God for the provision towards ministry, sometimes I wonder how ministry is running but God is faithful. I have also witnessed many souls coming to Jesus. It's a great testimony because I am working on an English course to acquire the basic requirement for one to join DTS, DTS transformed my spiritual life greatly and I give God all the glory for seeing lives changing for Christ in South Sudan. 

Bro Henry."

Praise the Lord!

In April, Len received the following testimony from brother Grace, on of our graduates in Uganda:

"Greetings dear brother Len and all in Jesus' precious Name!

I pray you are doing well. This month has seen us in ministry experiencing God's hand of healing, deliverance and salvations; healing a neighbor's three-year old boy Victor, who was struggling to breath and was to be operated. Then Dawfin also three-year old daughter to Sarah, a newly born-again sister, was able to walk instantly after prayer, and many more.

Plus God is bringing more laborers for the harvest! We give God all the glory, Amen, 

Be blessed brother, 

Bro Grace." 

Praise the Lord! How great is our God that He is doing such marvelous things through brother Grace's ministry in Uganda. To God be all the glory!

In April, sister Catherine in England, who is one of our recent DTS graduates sent the following update on her ministry activities there. 

"Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer,

Since I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire from Len praying over me, my hands have gotten hot a lot, and I feel much closer to our Lord with a burning desire to witness more than before; I also tend now to wake up at 3:00 AM in the morning ,and I pray for people. 

I have witnessed [for Christ] more on Thursday afternoons with the local Church group. I witnessed to a Jehovah's Witness whose name is Karen, sharing my testimony. She was very interested, asking to buy my book. So I [later] gave her a copy, and she said by what I told her she is going to leave the Jehovah's Witnesses.  She has asked me to meet her for coffee next week to ask me more questions about faith in Jesus our Lord.

I witnessed to an atheistic African young man, but after he heard my testimony he changed his mind and asked me to write down where he can buy my book, as he said, " I know what you said is true." He said he'd like to talk again about Jesus.

I witnessed to a young girl, who she said she was brought up a Muslim and she is comfortable with her religion, So I said, "Have you ever thought about where you are going when you die, heaven or hell?"

She said, "No, I never thought about  it." I told her that [Mohammad] is a false prophet and that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the only way to the Father and to heaven, every other religion will send people to hell. And told her that Jesus died on the cross and rose again to save us from our sins and invites us to have a personal relationship with him and live on his path in the Holy Spirit. She said, " I have given her something to think about." She then took the information about salvation to read.

I keep giving out tracts on Thursday afternoons, and help with a ladies' counselling group for those with depression.  One lady called Helen can't speak, but writes things down to share with me. I am praying for courage to pray over her for complete healing.

The Doulos Training School is the best [study] I have ever done. I have learned a lot, and they have helped me to witness and answer questions from non believers and new Christians. Thank you so much for all your teaching and support and for all your prayers. I continue to pray for you all.

Bless you all.

With Love in Jesus Christ our Lord

Sis Catherine."

Hallelujah! 

Ministries of DTS Graduates

Our brother John Abugieye in Nigeria, who is one of our DTS graduates and a pastor there, was finally granted some equipment in March by the Jesus Film Project after waiting for over a year from the time he requested it. Once it was determined that the equipment had arrived in the country, brother John initially received training by phone from the Jesus Film indigenous staff on how to present the film to viewers. Then he traveled a long distance over land and water to retrieve the equipment, even sleeping in a park along the way, saying that he preferred doing so like a missionary, rather than staying in a hotel.

We're glad that he finally got his equipment and made it safely home without incident, so that now he can reach more people for Christ with the film.

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in April 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:

2. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
3. For the Lord's leading, guidance, wisdom, and help administering the Doulos Training School (DTS), and for the progress the students are making.

March Update -- 2025

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: We celebrated Joseph's sixteenth birthday in February, with cake, cards, gifts, and singing Happy Birthday to him, once he was well enough following the cold that he had last month.  

We also celebrated Len's 59th birthday in March with cake, cards, and prayer for him. Praise the Lord for another year.

Christopher is finishing his final two semesters in college, and is currently taking a course that is considered to be the capstone course for his degree program that brings together everything he has learned.

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 four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, and the United Kingdom.

Len received the following testimony from brother Henry, one of our DTS graduates in South Sudan. He wrote:

"Dear brother Len, 

From Friday I was [conducting] hospital ministry, and there's a lady who needed blood, but there was no blood. So I donated blood, but still it was not enough. I was mobilizing people from outside to donate blood, but I want to thank God she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and also God saved her life. 

My brother, the temperature in this country has gone too high to the level that people are dying, schools have been closed, day and night the same thing, still enduring it like that.

Bro Henry."

Praise the Lord for what He did through brother Henry, especially that sick lady who got saved. Hallelujah! 

Ministries of DTS Graduates

In February, Len received the following testimony from brother Grace, on of our graduates in Uganda:

"Greetings dear brother Len, 

In the past few weeks I have seen God's hand of Salvation whenever I went out, Over 17 people gave their lives to the Lord. 

Meanwhile a girl by the name Cathy was delivered from madness and completely restored. As a result, souls in that village of Oriamai in Anyara came to the Lord. I go there once in a week for follow up and starting LTGs. Glory to God!

Your bro Grace." 

Amen! Glory to God! It's great to hear of so many people getting saved, and about the lady getting delivered from demons, as well as the establishment of discipleship groups, known as Life Transformation Groups (LTGs). Hallelujah!

Len received the following email from a brother in Christ whom he ministered to in February. This brother had missed seeing Len when he was ministering in New England, in the US last year, so Len met with him by phone recently when asked to do so. During the call, he received deliverance, as well as the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Here is the brother's description of that experience:

Hi Len,

I want to personally thank you for taking the time to talk with me and help me connect with God! It was truly a wonderful session, and on a scale of 1 to 10, this might have just hit it right out of Fenway Park! You are undoubtedly a man of God, your voice filled with passion, and it’s clear that you love what you do. Please continue touching the souls around you, as you truly have a gift! I gained so much from this experience that words can hardly express how blessed I feel right now. If there’s anything I can do to support your family or your ministry, please let me know. I’ll keep in touch.

Blessings,

Mike."

Praise the Lord! To God be all the glory for the great things He has done in Mike's life. In a subsequent call with him, he received the baptism with fire. As he received the holy fire, he had a vision of himself all ablaze with fire. He felt a pins and needles sort of tingling sensation begin at his head and expand throughout his body from there. He also had a vision of his heart aflame. He had a sensation of icy heat (similar to the Icy Hot muscle rub cream), even though he had the window open in the office at work where he was and it was around 19 degrees F outside. He felt like he could run 10 miles, too. He doesn’t drink caffeine, but felt as if he had just drunk two Red Bulls. Praise the Lord!

DTS Testimonies

In March, sister Catherine in England graduated from her three years of DTS training. We held a graduation ceremony, in which she was presented with her certificate of completion, after which we prayed for her, including prayer to receive the baptism with holy fire (Mt 3:11). She testified afterward saying:

"Dear brother Len, sister Jennifer, and Dave,

Thank you so much for the Graduate day and time with you all.

And thank you for all your prayers and the prayer for the  baptism of Holy Fire.  I have been praying for our Lord to show me more of his love. And when I received the Holy Fire Baptism tonight. I felt our Lord's presence so strong and a lot of heat and tingling from head to toe. I still feel the heat and tingling and our Lord's presence.

Jesus is so wonderful and his love is so awesome. He showed me so much love through the Holy Spirit and all of you tonight. Thank you so much. I will keep in touch and I know I will be able to witness more, with the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire and abiding in Jesus.

Praying for you all.

Bless you all.

With love in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sis Catherine"

Hallelujah! 

In March, Len received the following testimony from brother John, one of our DTS graduates in Nigeria. He wrote:

"Hello brother Len:

"My recent evangelical outreach program titled 'Life Beyond the Grave' to the Ukwel Obudu community in Obudu Local Government Area was a successful souls revival program. God helped me as I searched for the vital true life testimony of Pastor Victor Paul, who truly died and spent three days in the mortuary before Jesus brought him back to life.

"I showcased his testimony for two days using my projector, and I preached on the last day on the topic I received in my dream: 'Be the Light.' Many souls were revived during that program, including some pastors, and most backsliders were touched and returned to their faith.

"Because of how touching the testimonies were, many souls repented. Someone even freely gave us his generator to use and pleaded with me to repeat the program in other areas of their community. He willingly offered to rent chairs in case I plan another program in his community again. This is God's doing."

Praise the Lord for the souls saved during brother John's outreach. As the Scripture says, "My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins." (James 5:19-20).

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in March 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:

1. For blessing us with such wonderful birthday celebrations for Joseph and Len.
2. For the testimonies of brothers, Grace, Henry, and Michael, especially the hospitalized lady who gave her life to Jesus in South Sudan and the seventeen people who got saved in Uganda and in Nigeria.
3. For the wonderful testimony of sister Catherine about what the Lord did during her graduation ceremony.
4. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
5. 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, well-paying job in the IT field, as well as help him with all of his many responsibilities.
2. For the Lord to heal Christopher's fingers completely with no pain or loss of feeling.
3. For the Lord to help all our students in their studies.
4. For the Lord to provide for all the needs of our DTS students and graduates.
5. For the Lord to continue multiplying disciples through all of our students and graduates.
6. 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. 
7. For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.

February Update -- 2025

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: We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary in February by taking a little time away together for a couple days at an Inn located not far from where we live. That was the first getaway we've taken for our anniversary since we've been back in the States. 

Joseph was healed from the cold that he had last month, but then he and Christopher both got sick again this month with a cold. Please pray for a full recovery for him and Christopher, and that the Lord will keep Jennifer from getting sick with the cold they have, as she seems to be resisting it.

Joseph turned 16 years old in February, so we sang Happy Birthday to him and prayed for him. But since he was and still is sick, he decided to postpone his birthday party until he's feeling better. So we're hoping to celebrate that next week on Tuesday. On Joseph's birthday, Len also celebrated his 39th spiritual birthday since coming to know Jesus in 1986. Praise God for another year of His faithfulness and keeping power.

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 four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, and the United Kingdom.

Sister Catherine, our student in England, finished her DTS studies this month, and will be graduating next month. Here is what she had to say about it:

"Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer,

Now that I have nearly completed the Doulos Training School studies, I have had my mind completely renewed from growing up in Churches that teach a watered down gospel. I have learned all about the true gospel through these wonderful studies, and I have grown a lot in our Lord.

So now I am more prepared to teach and witness to the lost, and to other Christians who still live in the 'ideal' of the watered down gospel. Some people are asking me questions that I am now able to answer with the true gospel.

Len prayed over me a few times for healing of my stomach, which has been healed, and a bad cough that I had is also healed, so I thank him and our Lord for this wonderful Doulos Missions International Ministry.

I trust our Lord that through him and the Holy Spirit, that I will be a successful witness to the lost and continue in the will of God. I am eternally grateful. Many Thanks. May your Doulos Missions grow and bless many people in the future. I am praying for you all. Bless you all.

With Love in Jesus Christ our Lord,

Sister Catherine."

Praise the Lord for helping her complete her three years of training. What an amazing accomplishment! We have watched her grow in the Lord and watched the Lord using her in greater ways than ever before. It's obvious that the Lord has wonderful plans for her life that she has now been equipped for.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

In March, one of our former students in Kenya, brother Stanley, will be returning to finish his studies. He had taken time off from the DTS due to living in a Muslim village with electrical power issues where he was teaching in a school. He has recently been married, and is now ready to resume his training with us. So we are looking forward to having him back.

January Update -- 2025

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: As we begin the New Year, we believe that we're in the end times and we must stay close to the Lord. The Scripture says that there must be a great falling away (apostasy) in the last days before the Lord returns, and we don't want to be deceived by the enemy into being a part of that. We know you don't either. So let's all draw close to the Lord and seek His face.

Joseph and Faith were very sick with colds, but the Lord has been healing them, and they are better now, but Faith is still symptomatic. Praise the Lord! Please pray for a full recovery for Faith.

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 four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, and the United Kingdom.

Brother Henry, who is one of our graduates in South Sudan, as well as our National Facilitator there, shared the following testimony with Len in January:

"Dear bro Len,

In 2021, I was invited to preach in a state called Yambio, which is in the western equatorial part of South Sudan. It's a bit far from Juba, so the team that wanted me to go there sent the money for booking the flight to their friend in Juba to book it for me. He communicated the dates and time, but yet he used the money, and didn't book at all. The time came, I went to the airport, and the following day the conference and crusade was arranged. When I reached there ready to travel, my name was not in the list of those traveling. I was confused. I wanted to leave immediately, but in my spirit I said, 'No, let me wait.' 

People started boarding, and after they had all entered the plane, a man came and greeted me. He asked if I was pastor Henry. I said, 'Yes.' I asked for his name, and he told me he is called Paul. I asked if he was working with South Supreme company, and he said, 'Yes.' Then he held my hand and made me to enter. I had not received even the boarding pass, my name is not on the list, and I didn't pay any money. 

We reached our destination, and they started collecting the boarding pass, but I didn't have one. They questioned me how I entered. I told them one person called Paul allowed me in. They checked, tried to call the head office, but they didn't have any worker by the name of Paul. They decided to let me go because I was going for the work of God. 

When I was reading about how angels manifest to us, I immediately remembered this [experience], and I believe that must have been an angel of God that came to my rescue, because everybody was calling me, [asking], 'Are you coming [to the crusade]?', I really give God the glory."

Wow! Praise the Lord for sending His angel to help brother Henry board a plane without a ticket and fly to his destination to preach the gospel in South Sudan. That was truly a miracle. It reminds me of the angel named Paul that helped our student Catherine in England when she was lost as a youth.  You can read about that here.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

In January, Len received the following email from sister Amani, one of our new students in South Sudan:

"Dear bro Len,

I have been getting dreams when I am preaching, telling people Jesus is coming, turn away from your sins, the time is now. This has happened to me many times, and one time I shared with a friend what I was going through, but she only asked me if I am a pastor or want to be a pastor.  Another time I got a dream, [in which] there was a pit in front, people had lined up moving towards that pit. They were all moving while dancing and celebrating, but [unaware] where they were going; they were all going to perish in that deeper pit. I was shouting at them, 'Stop, you are going to die,' but none of them listened. Others started falling into the pit, but still others were coming. I woke up from the dream like it was a reality, [with] too much fear inside me. I just prayed about it and slept again.

Sister Amani." 

Praise the Lord for the dreams He has been giving to sister Amani, including this one about people needlessly falling into the pit of hell, while remaining oblivious that it's there until it's too late. Please remember her in prayer for healing from pain, bleeding, and dizziness that she has been having in her pregnancy. The doctors do not believe the baby is in danger.

In January, Len also received the following email from brother Isaac in South Sudan, who's a new student in the DTS. 

"Dear bro Len,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope my mail finds you well.

I was much transformed since I joined DTS, in terms of my prayer journal, spiritual growth, discovering my purpose for God, and understanding His mystery. l also thank God for transforming individuals, partners, families, and societies with the LTG formed. 

Yours faithfully,

Bro Isaac."

Praise the Lord.

DTS Testimonies

Brother John in Nigeria, who is one of our DTS graduates and a pastor there, sent in the following New Year's testimony recently: 

"I am truly grateful for the incredible journey that God has placed before me in my ministry efforts to reach out to ageing widows and prisoners with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This year, I felt a strong calling to begin my outreach with the ageing widows and some less privileged individuals in our community.

"To show them the love and compassion of Christ, I prepared delicious rice and beans with assorted dried fishes, a simple yet heartfelt meal that brought smiles and joy to their faces. It is my sincere belief that through these acts of kindness, we can reflect the love of Jesus and provide comfort to those who often feel forgotten.

"I would like to express my profound gratitude to DTS for the impactful teachings and training on how to make disciples. Their guidance has been instrumental in shaping my approach to ministry, equipping me with the tools needed to effectively share the gospel and nurture others in their faith journey.

"May God continue to prosper DTS and bless their efforts in equipping others to fulfill the Great Commission. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve, bringing light to the darkness and hope to the hopeless. 

Bro John."

Praise the Lord for what He is doing through brother John's ministry to the less privileged people in Nigeria -- widows and prisoners.

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in January to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.
