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.
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.
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.
In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.
