Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We're pleased to share with you the amazing things the Lord has been doing in our lives and ministry.
Family: In May, Christopher took an online course to renew his CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ technical certifications he had previously obtained three years ago. This course allowed him to review and build on the knowledge he had studied initially and enabled him to recertify without having to redo all three exams, making it much more time and cost efficient.
Joseph has been continuing his home school and advanced locksmith studies, even though he has already earned his Advanced Locksmith certificate a few months ago. Currently his focus is in two books specializing in opening safes.
Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its tenth 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 actively training in two nations including South Sudan and Uganda.
We continue working closely with three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, as they are continuing their Phase III ministry campaigns. Their latest updated testimonies are found at the links below:
Here are some highlights.
Uganda Highlights
"Greetings dear brother Len, To God belong all the glory, and honor!
Our update for Uganda is as follows:"
In the Nakatunya fellowship, "We really had a powerful experience with the brethren during discipleship that is changing lives with numerous testimonies! Leadership development with brother Boniface (the elder) is an opportunity for learning and is life-changing! We also had a wonderful time together with them at the harvest in the nearby trading center where some people gave their lives to Jesus; we gave the believers (from the new church) the opportunity to preach." He also said that a sister named Cana and her family of 10 came back to Church after some period of being away due to the challenges the family went through." He later wrote: "We have had evangelism here, (that resulted in) a boy and a girl from the same family coming to the Lord."
In the Acida fellowship: "Bro Moses (their elder) excitedly reports all his family members of more than 10 children in number have come to the Lord!" (This is a separate event from what happened in Nakatunya!)
In Otucopi: "We had leadership development with bro Charles (their elder). Discipleship and multiplication are taking place." He later wrote: "Brother Charles is catching up with the Holy Spirit's leadership and guidance. He together with his wife, and children are rejoicing for the transforming power of God in their lives! The discipleship is helping them and the fellowship every other day!"
In the Alitimon church: "Bro Peter (their elder) was praising God for the discipleship and training that are enlightening them in the Lord!"
In the Amen B. church: "They had a week of evangelism and discipleship ongoing." Later he wrote: "Evangelism is regularly carried on by the grace of God; for (elders) bro William and Lawrence it is a priority."
In Awawal: "Bro Vincent (elder) had time, too, to move out into the harvest. He is growing with more (believers) embracing discipleship!"
In Celtel: "Brother Peter and Yokolamu were present for leadership development. We also had a good time in discipleship, and had an open air meeting in a nearby trading center."
In Kampala: "Together with brother Frances we had leadership development, discipleship with the believers, and prayer of deliverance."
Pingire: "We have had healing and deliverance conducted, discipleship and multiplication."
"By the way brother Len I was invited by a pastor who has churches under him to speak to his ministry leaders on evangelism; he had been following our ministry work, and developed interest (for me) to train him and his fellow leaders. This took place on Friday at Otuboi (I had 7 hours for them), and was attended by 15 leaders.
"Your bro Grace."
As mentioned last month, there are an estimated total of 524 believers across all 14 churches he planted since February of this year, and are still growing. Across all the churches, 86% of the believers are attending weekly LTG discipleship meetings. To God be the glory!
He also recently shared some more amazing testimonies of healing and miracles that he has seen the Lord do in his ministry in the past. See Notable Miracles in Uganda and Boy Raised from the Dead.
Please continue to pray for the ongoing work that brother Grace and his team are doing in Uganda. Thank you to those who had been praying for continued clear, mud-free roads during the recent rainy season, which has since ended; so that is no longer an issue at this time.

Nigeria Highlights
"The prison ministry recorded a significant breakthrough on 23 May 2026, as twenty-two (22) inmates were baptized, marking a strong moment of public faith declaration and transformation. The fellowship continues to show deep spiritual hunger, emotional repentance, and readiness for structured discipleship. The baptism testimonies reflected sincere surrender, restoration, and hope for new life." Although photos are not allowed in the prison, here is one post-baptism photo he was allowed to take.
In the Betukwel fellowship, "Strong spiritual growth continues with increasing attendance and testimonies of healing, showing clear evidence of God’s work...A major testimony is that the man from whose house I recovered charms given by native witch doctors has now joined our fellowship together with his entire family. About five new souls have also been added."
In Kakum, "The fellowship remains strong with committed disciples. Healing testimonies and spiritual gift manifestations continue to strengthen faith and unity."
"We recently concluded a seven-day night vigil, and the spiritual encounters and manifestations were beyond human imagination.
"During the gathering, many people experienced the opening of their spiritual eyes. Several testified that they began to clearly hear divine instructions, receiving direction on what God wanted them to do and gaining insight into the exposure of satanic plans against their lives.
"One individual saw a rainbow wrap around her on two separate occasions and heard the Lord declare that He had given her the 7 (-fold) Spirit of God. Others testified of seeing the hand of God holding them firmly, bringing assurance and protection.
"Some saw liquid fire placed in their right hand, while others received swords in the spirit and found themselves moving across different places, breaking and destroying the works of darkness.
"Many also received diverse manifestations of grace—some were endowed with the gift of healing, others experienced instant physical healing, and several testified to receiving fresh prophetic grace and spiritual empowerment. Indeed, there was a strong outpouring, marked by divine encounters, restoration, and activation of spiritual gifts."
The Ohong Fellowship, "remains one of the strongest centers, marked by vibrant participation and effective coordination. The fellowship is increasingly positioned for expansion and multiplication."
In the Karu fellowship, "Progress is consistent, with growing interest in discipleship and a more visible commitment among members. The fellowship is slowly building stronger spiritual depth."
In Ukwel Obudu, "The fellowship continues to mature structurally, with increasing participation and improved member accountability. More individuals are now taking responsibility in service and coordination."
"The fellowship at Liberty Road remains stable with noticeable improvement in member consistency and coordination of discipleship activities. There is a clearer sense of order in weekly engagements, and spiritual responsibility among members continues to deepen."
"As previously reported, a new fellowship has been started in the Atiekpe community. The new fellowship is gradually taking shape with encouraging early attendance." The believers there are beginning to form into Life Transformation Groups.
In summary, there are an estimated total of roughly 288 believers across all nine churches that he has planted. Across all the churches, 87% of the believers are attending weekly LTG discipleship meetings. To God be the glory!
Please continue to join us through your prayers in helping support what God is doing through brother John and his team in Nigeria. Due to his evil landlord and neighbors, he needs to move out by the end of August, and the Lord has provided a newly built shell of a home that he is renovating, which is an overwhelming project for him with his school-teaching job and church planting ministry. He hopes to be finished with the preparations of the new home and moved into it by the end of August, but let's pray he is able to do so much sooner.

South Sudan Highlights
Brother Henry in South Sudan provided the following encouraging updates:
"Dear bro Len,
"I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"We are grateful to God for His mighty move in the land of South Sudan."
"I thank God for the amazing work He is doing in South Sudan. The Holy Spirit is convicting people of their sins. A certain gentleman came to me on Thursday, and just told me that he has come to give his life to Jesus Christ. I asked him what made him to feel like he should give his life to Jesus Christ, because I wanted to know if he had heard the gospel from someone preaching somewhere, but he said no. He just started thinking of scary things about hell, until he made up his mind to give his life to Jesus. I also thank God because of the people that God has healed, and delivered from evil powers this week."
In Juba, women are being healed of reproductive system issues. One woman had experienced miscarriages. "This has happened to her twice. The husband is a doctor, so he was hearing some testimonies about how God is using me. So he decided to send the wife to come and visit me at the church. I preached to the lady, and she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and savior. I also told her to forgive anyone she's holding in her heart, and immediately she confessed to me about it. I prayed a prayer of forgiveness. And declared that she will deliver no matter what. I told her the baby she is carrying will not be like the others. The baby won't disappear from the womb. By the power of God she has delivered a baby girl. This miracle shocked many but I give God the glory. "
"There's another testimony of a woman who came to me 10 months pregnant without delivering. She was advised to come to me for prayers. I preached to her and she accepted Jesus Christ in her life. After that I read for her Isaiah 66:9. Then prayed and commanded the baby to come out that same week because his time is over to stay in the stomach. After prayers I told her to go and prepare for delivery. I asked her if she has the money for the hospital and she said yes. I told her the baby is going to come out at terrible speed. She will not feel much pain and it will be for a short time. She went back, and the following day they called me to say that she had delivered. I asked for the hospital, but they told me when the pain started, they started rushing her to the hospital but the baby just came out from home just like that. We are really serving a mighty God."
"I prayed for a child called Kulasa, and by the grace of God the baby was healed. The baby had spent over two months without breastfeeding normally. Just crying and he could pass stool once in a while, according to the mother, one of the medical personnel who was working on the baby advised them to try witchcraft, because the parents had tried to seek medical attention, but nothing was happening, until the day I prayed for the baby. The following day after the prayers, the baby was totally fine."
"God has really done amazing things in Juba by the grace of God. I had a good moment with the elders. I arranged some special teachings for them, and it was amazing, especially when I handled the topic of raising the dead. We also conducted the discipleship classes, and everything moved on well by the grace of God."
In Yambio, "We thank God because the zeal is really increasing for them to serve the Lord. Their numbers are increasing by the grace of God...I have also witnessed the grace of intercession (there)...God is doing amazing things in Yambio. Bro Gerald (the elder) is standing strong in the gap. I have been in close communication with him, and sick people are receiving healing. There's revival taking place especially in the children. The children's ministry is growing at high speed."
There is also a brother named Odong who has been unjustly imprisoned with a 15-year sentence in Yambio for sharing the gospel with a Muslim woman. Please join us in praying for his miraculous release.
In Wau, a number of "people are being delivered and healed by the power of the Holy Spirit...It has caused a serious increase in their numbers."
In Rokon: "They are strong, and moving forward." Later he wrote, "those who are committed to the teachings are very serious. I thank God for the testimonies, because I heard many testifying about how their lives are changing, from the time they surrendered their lives to Jesus. Others were smoking but no longer smoke."
On June 15th, he wrote: "The fellowship of Rokon is growing at a high level. God is increasing their numbers. Those who came to the fellowship (demon-) possessed were delivered from the evil spirits. I witnessed that some people in the church have started preaching to their families, as I have been teaching them. And most of the people accepting Jesus Christ have some connection with those who gave their lives to Jesus before."
In Moriok, Juba, "Every day I see numbers increasing. And the altar has continually impacted the lives of people...Large numbers are giving their lives to Jesus. People are really yearning for prayers. I saw some people being filled with the Holy Spirit." Later he wrote: "A big number of people came to pray and also heard the Word of God. I saw many giving their lives to Jesus Christ, and others delivered."
"There's a gentleman, who confessed how he dedicated his family to the devil for riches. He was delivered and later accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior."
"We have some people who have come from the Moriok prayer altar, who are traveling every Sunday to have fellowship with us in the Juba fellowship. I thank God for the zeal in the hearts of people for the gospel. Many come and surrender their lives to Jesus, and also many get delivered. They also bring sick people during the prayer altar, and God delivers them."
In Check Point, Juba, "God has delivered many during the prayers. The numbers keep increasing, and also three people gave their lives to Jesus Christ. By the grace of God, the discipleship classes are going on well. Many are learning to surrender themselves to God in prayers. I see people praying with their tears [flowing down from their eyes]." Later he wrote, "People are always increasing in numbers gradually. New people come and give their lives to Jesus...we thank God, because He is doing a great work through this altar."
In Luk Luri, Juba, "There are people also who are giving their lives to Jesus through that altar. I give all the glory to God...This area is also under the move of the Holy Spirit. I have seen some members finding ways to come to Juba, in order to attend discipleship lessons. Sometimes others sleep over until the following morning, and then they go back." Later he wrote about one man who confessed to brother Henry that he had killed three of his wives, which was bothering his conscience. He repented, gave his life to the Lord, and was delivered from the powers of witchcraft.
On the outskirts of Juba, "We have started the altar at Gorom, and we thank God we had some people who came and attended. Two ladies gave their lives to Jesus."
In Bor, "We thank God because there's been deliverance, and healing. We have a number of people who have testified of the Holy Spirit healing them. People are giving their lives to Jesus. I have also learnt that some people are now learning how to pray. Teaching them about the relationship between them and the Father -- the Creator. I have now seen changes in people's lives."
"Your servant,
Bro Henry."
Praise the Lord for what He is doing through brother Henry. There are over 436 believers in the four churches that he has planted there (not including the five prayer altars). Across all the locations, 93% of the believers are attending weekly LTG discipleship meetings. We give God all the glory.
One more important matter we need to inform you about is regarding a woman, who recently dropped dead in front of the congregation at one of the fake churches in Juba, when the false prophet of that church prayed for her. This is the false prophet who has been after brother Henry, calling him, and even sending one of his agents to spy on him.
Brother Henry wrote: "We are so grateful to God for the protection he has given to me in South Sudan. Another elder who was close to the false prophet in the same ministry where the other lady died, has also died. This happened on Wednesday. The man just collapsed at his home and died. He was one of those who have been supporting this false prophet financially. The information I got was that the same man who died was the one who donated the two land cruisers the false prophet is moving in. He is also the one who has been paying his security team that he moves with. I see God is uprooting him gradually. I met one pastor in the market when I was out for evangelism, and he told me that he heard from someone that the false prophet declared in his church for people to pray for me bad prayers. He told the church members that I am fighting him, and am the reason for his misfortune."
Please continue to pray for the Lord to protect brother Henry from these false prophets, that the Lord would fully expose them, dismantling their false ministries, and would take away all their spiritual power.

More Testimonies
Len sent out his monthly edition of the Old News That's Still Fresh in June, as he usually does each month. We hope you'll take a moment to read the content that he has published, as it is sure to bless, encourage, and edify you.
He also produced several music videos that you are invited to watch. One of them is called Voices of Africa Rising, which gives God the praise for the salvation, healing, miracles, and deliverance He is doing through the ministries of our A-Team, as noted in this newsletter. Brothers Grace, Henry, and John all like the song and intend to sing it with the churches they have planted.
Other music videos include Laborers in the Harvest, Endless Adoration Rising, The Lord Reigns, Take Your Stand, The Fruit of the Spirit, and a bilingual (French-English) one called The Voice of the Lord, as well as others featured in the Old News That's Still Fresh link above. All of Len's newly released music videos are also posted in the music section of Preparing the Way Radio.
In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.
