February Update -- 2026

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 February, we celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary with flowers, cards, dinner out just the two of us, and going away together for one night to a nearby place about 25 minutes from where we live. As usual, we remembered our wedding day fondly with gratitude in our hearts as we looked back at our wedding album and our wedding video. We also enjoyed a nice time together at a botanical garden, as seen in the picture to the left and other photos in the album at the link below. That was a nice getaway for us and our marriage. Although it was brief, it was a memorable time.

 

As we mentioned last month, our son Christopher began his new IT help desk job on December 1st.  He has now been at that company for almost three months, and is doing very well, enjoying his work. The Lord also provided him with his first car, a used 2007 vehicle that has only had one other owner before him. He's been enjoying it a lot. 

 

We also celebrated our son Joseph's seventeenth birthday in February with cards, a special, homemade dessert, a gift, and prayer for him. He is continuing his advanced studies in Institutional Locksmithing, which is going well by the grace of God. His goal is to complete his current studies by March 6th. Meanwhile he is continuing with his regular homeschool studies.

On the same day that we celebrated his birthday, Len also celebrated his 40th spiritual birthday in Christ. By the grace of God, the Lord has kept him for 40 years now. You can see his testimony here in this video, recorded a couple years ago at a gospel rescue mission in Texas.

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 four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda.

We continue working closely with three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, as they labor in the harvest in their respective countries. They all completed our Phase II campaign at the end of January, in order to conserve the harvest they had reaped during their Phase I evangelistic campaign in the fall. On February 1, they each began their Phase III campaigns to complete the Great Commission.

Many of the activities are the same in Phase III as in Phase II, such as people still getting saved, baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit, baptized with fire, receiving deliverance, healing, miracles, etc., as the new believers and existing ones continue to be discipled, attend Life Transformation Groups (LTGs), and become part of the new fellowships being planted.

However, the new focus is on discipleship, multiplication of disciples, and leadership development, (as well as possibly establishing more new fellowships as the need arises). Once we have finished appointing elders in these fellowships, they will serve under the oversight of these three brothers, who have all been trained in our DTS and have years of ministry experience.

Their testimonies of what God did as they concluded Phase II are found at the following links:

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda has seen the Lord doing amazing things. 

He wrote: "We have concluded Kampala phase II today, and are starting phase III. By the grace of God, eleven new fellowships have been established in Uganda during our Phase II ministry campaign." He continued, "In every location where we have followed up, there are testimonies of the Lord's accomplishments, healings, deliverances, more salvations, etc. The most feared witch doctor, Bosco, got born again with his wife Esther, who also got healed of leg pain, whole family came to the Lord in Acida location. A man Moses, his wife Angela and their 10 children came to the Lord during our phase II visit." 

Brother Grace said that in Kampala, the capital, "It was a powerful move of the Holy Spirit as everyone spoke in tongues." Moreover, "Bena, an elderly woman who had been sick for three years, without being able to see, was healed from eye disease." 

In the village of Otucopi, where one of the new fellowships was planted, "William was delivered from curses. He was always unsuccessful in whatever he undertook to do. The Lord delivered him, as he experienced the touch of the power of God!" In the village of Awoja, "There have been deliverances from witchcraft for a lady called Deborah, as well as healing and deliverance from epilepsy for Daniel." Praise the Lord!

In summary, brother Grace recently reported on his first week of Phase III ministry that ended on February 7th, which included visits to four fellowships out of the eleven new ones that have been established. In these four fellowships with a combined total of 83 believers, there have been 33 salvations during the week of his report, there are 29 ongoing LTGs, five elders identified to undergo leadership development, five water baptisms conducted, and 20-30 people baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Please continue to pray for the ongoing work that brother Grace and his team are doing in Uganda. They truly need our prayers as they travel to some very remote places on dirt roads. One of the areas of special need for prayer is for safe travels and clear roads during the current rainy season when roads are very muddy.

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria shared a praise report in February, regarding his ministry efforts. Here are some excerpts from it:

"Good morning, Brother Len.

By the mercies of God, I can report that, by human assessment, my Phase II assignment is now 100% completed. A total of nine fellowship centers have been established across nine different locations, including the prison." 

In the urban, Liberty Road location where one of the nine fellowships has been planted, "Water baptism and deliverance has been conducted." 

He continued, "Esther was delivered from the spirit of madness and demonic manipulation. Sister Precious’ son  was delivered from the spirit of gambling and native doctor spell. Fortune was delivered from demonic  oppression involving witchcraft manipulation. God has done a significant work in this location. Many Catholics in the fellowship are beginning to gain clarity through sound and structured teachings."

He said that in the Ohong fellowship, "They have been baptized with the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, and have also received holy fire baptism. Several deliverances have been recorded...LTGs are ongoing among those who can read. And the elders have been officially set in place." Moreover, in addition to the Ohong fellowship, the disciples have received the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire at three of the other fellowships, as well.

In summary, nine new fellowships have been planted in Nigeria with a total of over 138 disciples. Many have been water baptized and received deliverance. Many have also been baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, and numerous LTGs have been started. In addition to that, elders have also been set in place in six of the fellowships.

Glory to God. Please continue to join us through your prayers in helping support what God is doing through brother John and his team in Nigeria.

South Sudan Highlights 

Brother Henry in South Sudan provided the following update in early February:

"Dear bro Len,

Thanks for your prayers, they are really helping a lot. I am currently in western Equatorial state. The journey was longer than expected due to very bad roads, insecurity threats as we were traveling. It forced us to have many stop overs because we are being advised by the community not to ride late hours. We would go and reach somewhere, but the community we would find there would stop us and say let's not go forward (due to dangers ahead). So it would force us to stop over and even sleep there, then embark on our journey the following morning. It took us three days to reach the state. 

"I thank God we were happily welcomed by the elder here, and other brothers and sisters in the Lord. We organized a revival prayer meeting where we are meeting from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, and I have people being delivered and filled with the Holy Spirit. Very many believers had scattered, but by the grace of God we have managed to reach them out, and many are coming back for fellowship. I will share with you my plans and programs as I am still on this side (of the country) for prayers, and guidance. 

"We have also had serious challenges with power, there's completely no power this side (of the country) . They're using generators, and when you take the phone for charging, it takes really long to be full. Sometimes you are required to leave it there for one full day to two days. Sometimes there's fear that you may also lose the phone. Secondly the network is so poor. We are also facing serious threatening messages from the rebel groups in the area, the threats come to the entire state. It may limit us from reaching some communities. I have also conducted burial of one gentleman, who went and just threw himself in water. The river is called Nakpong. During that time, five people gave their lives to Jesus. I also went and prayed there because I was told that that river is evil, and many people have died the same way in the same river." 

Praise the Lord for what He is doing through brother Henry, keeping him safe in some very dangerous, remote places that most of us could never reach with the gospel. Please continue to join us upholding him in prayer, especially for protection, the power of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, and grace.

"Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed His word by the signs that accompanied it." (Mk 16:20)

 

Len sent out his monthly edition of the Old News That's Still Fresh in February, as he usually does each month. We hope you'll take a moment to read the content that he has published.

More Testimonies

When Len prayed in the name of Jesus for our ministry's Accountant, Tom, in January, the Lord healed him from arthritis that he has had in his hands since he was a rower in college. Praise the Lord! All glory goes to God!

A brother named Max, whom brother Henry in South Sudan is developing to become an elder, had a very serious accident in which he was badly injured. Brother Max had been in an all night prayer meeting with brother Henry, and when he left at 6 AM, he was hit by a car. He was picked up by brother Henry and taken to the hospital on his motorcycle, where he coughed up a lot of blood and regained consciousness at the very moment when bro Henry was praying for him. Scans revealed he had broken his chin, and has serious dental, as well as knee injuries. His jaw is now wired shut. Please join us in praying for his complete healing.

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 providing for the blessed 29th anniversary celebration we enjoyed together as a couple.
2. For helping Christopher with his new IT job, and that he enjoys it so much.

January Update -- 2026

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 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 four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda.

As mentioned in our December update, we are working closely with three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, as they labor in the harvest, in order to follow up with the people who recently came to Christ in their outreaches. This is a period of baptizing new believers, teaching and discipling them, organizing them into Life Transformation Groups for discipleship, baptizing them in water, praying for them to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire, praying for deliverance for those who need it, establishing fellowships, and eventually planting churches and appointing elders. Their testimonies of what God is doing are found at the following links, a few highlights of which we'll share below in this newsletter:

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda has seen the Lord doing amazing things. He wrote:

 

"Greetings dear brother Len in Jesus' Name!

I thank God for the gift of life, and for healing me; I recovered fully after you prayed for me!

In our phase II work this week, we have moved in three different locations; meanwhile I'm in touch with sister Betty, sister Miracle, and brother Francis about our Kampala discipleship. I hope to reach them sooner or later.

1. In Pingire Serere, a fellowship is fully functional at brother David Ouma's home. The LTGs are operational and baptisms have been conducted. It's wonderful to know brother David received and welcomed the fellowship with his wife, his children; Esther, Caro, Alex, Akello, and other community members. Only that brother David has been sick for long, blindness due to pressure. He needs our prayers.

2. Alitmon in Awawal of Kalaki the fellowship is growing with more people coming to the Lord; LTGs are being observed. One of the nearby village leaders of Aloet, named Sam Ewinyu, came and knelt down in our fellowship and gave his life to the Lord. He had previously been a staunch Catholic. He asked us to extend the fellowship to his home.

3. While in Awoja, one bridge before you reach Soroti, in our phase II, three more people gave their lives to the Lord; Rose, Patrick, and his wife Mary. Rose had been having stomach pains for over 4 months, but was healed yesterday during deliverance prayers. An old woman, Dina, also got healed of waist pain. This fellowship is hosted at the home of Rose. Her daughter Caro had no job for over 10 years, but after she received prayer, she has testified in our phase II visit that God has done a miracle of a job offer to her.

Blessings dear brother, 

Br Grace."

 

Praise the Lord! Brother Grace has informed us that they are holding elections on Thursday, January 16th. The internet has been shut down during this time, which seems like an intentional move by the government, since the incumbent president who seized power in 1986 has been in office for forty years and is running for president again this year. Please stand in agreement with us in prayer for the Lord to restore the internet across Uganda at this time, and for the Lord's will to be done concerning their elections. 

South Sudan Highlights

The Lord is doing amazing things in Brother Henry's ministry in South Sudan. He is seeing rapid growth in the church he pastors. Many people are seriously committing their lives to Jesus and being transformed. One woman who was a drug addict and alcoholic got saved and has become a serious intercessor. One man had been the leader of one of the most dangerous gangs in that country, and he is now radically saved, despite retaliation, attack, and threats from the other gang leaders who are angry that he left the gang. A young lady also got saved, after which her family turned on her and began persecuting her, beating her, and denying her the ability to continue her education; but she is continuing on with Jesus even if she is never again allowed to receive an education. Other things like that are also happening. 

Here is one of brother Henry's most recent updates:

"Dear bro Len,

There's a great move of God in South Sudan, as I am doing my best to finalize with phase two, one of the members who has been attending the discipleship class, had been working with the prostitutes for a very long time. And as her life got transformed through discipleship, she confessed to me this, and told me that they had a prophet who still exists. This prophet was anointing them with false anointing oil according to me in order to get customers (men to sleep with them). Then whenever they could get the money, an offering was given to the fake prophet in order to get more customers. When she gave her life to Jesus during our missions, the woman who was acting as their boss in that business was looking for her seriously. She said that friends told her if the information reaches their prophet, then I will have problem, because I am the one who has confused her. But I thank God, because right now more two from the same group have already given their lives to Jesus.

Your servant,

Bro Henry."

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for what He is doing in brother Henry's ministry.  

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria shared the following praise report in January:

"Hello Brother Len,

"By the mercy of God, the Phase II work is experiencing steady progress. The disciples are multiplying day by day. Those attending our fellowship are becoming more serious, and the hunger to witness to others has grown significantly in most of them.

"Some people are now willingly calling us and inviting us to their homes, and we are open and ready to accept these invitations. Discipleship training is actively ongoing in all the centers we have formed, with elders already in place to provide leadership and oversight.

"The baptism of the Holy Spirit has taken place in the lives of many disciples, and we thank God for His continued move among us.

Warm regards,

Bro John."

Glory to God. Please join us in prayer support for what God is doing through brothers John, Grace, and Henry in Africa.

More Testimonies

You may recall the Iranian teen boy named Sina in Turkey that we previously reported on, who was deaf and had a cochlear device implanted to restore his hearing. We received a praise report in December about him from Mary, our contact in Turkey (pictured front row in light blue beside Sina). She wrote:

"We had a meal at our church on Thursday evening and Sina and his family were also invited, so we had a chance to take a few pictures and make a short video. In the video, you can see that Sina can hear and chat very easily now. We are talking Turkish, and he speaks it very well, and near the end he says 'Thank you' to those who helped him. He and his family are very happy with the device.

"In the video, I was asking him how he was getting on with the device and how it has affected him. He was saying he can hear everything and follow everything, and then said thank you to those who helped.

"He can also be seen in some of the short videos taken at our church celebration, which are on youtube. In this video, he is enjoying the music and clapping along:

"I was more touched by this than by his speaking, as it made me realise how much he must have missed out on before. Praise the Lord for His love and mercy!

"Greetings from Çanakkale

Mary"

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 restoring Sina's hearing in one of his ears through the cochlear implant.
2. For the amazing testimonies of brothers Grace, Henry, and John about what the Lord is doing through their ministries.
3. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
4. 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 restore the internet in Uganda and for His will to be done in the elections.
2. For the Lord to provide a new job for brother William in South Sudan.
3. For the Lord to continue using our African brothers Grace, John, and Henry as they continue conserving the harvest from their evangelistic campaigns in their respective countries, and that the Lord would provide for all the ongoing ministry that is necessary to do so.
4. For all the new believers in S Sudan, Nigeria, and Uganda, that they will always follow Jesus.
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.
8. For the Lord to open new doors of ministry opportunity.

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

December 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 November, we celebrated Thanksgiving together as a family (pictured left), which is always a blessing to be together for this festive time, return thanks to God for His many blessings in our lives, and to eat a delicious home-cooked turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

 

As we mentioned last month, our son Christopher (pictured left on right side) was hired in November by an IT company for a new IT help desk job, which he began on December 1st.  He has been in job training at that company for the past two weeks, and is doing very well, catching on quickly to the things he is learning. He enjoys the company, the people he works with, the management, and the kind of work he is doing. 

 

Our son Joseph (picture above to the right) is continuing his advanced studies in Commercial Locksmithing, which is going well by the grace of God. Meanwhile he is continuing with his regular homeschool studies.

 

In December, we (Len and Jennifer) left the boys alone at home and went away for an overnight stay not too far from home about a half hour from where we live. That was a nice getaway for us to work on our marriage. Although it was brief, it was a memorable time.

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda has seen the Lord doing amazing things. He wrote:

 

"Hi dear brother Len, 

"While in Mbale for follow up, we had an urgent call from Pallisa to go and carry out water baptism for the Christians I had led to the Lord more than a year ago! We didn't hesitate but came here at once. 

"Yesterday and today, as we shared and taught people about water baptism and deliverance, more crowds from the village were attracted, and more than 100 received the Lord, were water baptized, delivered, and Holy Spirit baptized. Catholics, too, came to the Lord; and the Chairman of the River came wanting to know what was happening. After I explained, he commended us and thanked God!

"Praise the Lord! Children happily received the Lord! We are praying for the Lord to provide a big need for Bibles for them.

"Blessings, 

Bro Grace."

 

Praise the Lord! Brother Grace has also had a third, new, water well drilled in the district of Kalaki. He also reported that during his recent travels, a lady named Celina visited their room with her newly born baby testifying that the Lord gave her natural delivery. The delivery happened the same day brother Grace's daughter Mercy and his mission team prayed for her. Celina had been losing babies and facing delivery challenges. We thank God she is free from those issues now after receiving prayer, and she is born again 

Brother Grace spent a few days in focused prayer for his life due to various unknown people, who have been trying during the past ten years to take his life before God's time. Once years ago, they tried to break into his rented house in the capital city, when he lived there, but the Lord intervened; they tried to poison him and his family, but failed. When they moved years ago to where they live now, certain people had been spying, prowling at night with guns, but their attempts also failed. Several attempts to kidnap brother Grace have failed. Sometimes strangers call his phone arranging for meetings with him in a hotel with baits. At the various rented homes that they have lived in (and kept moving from for their safety) their neighbors have also testified to seeing them surround Grace's house with weapons. Sometimes they have come driving toward him in vehicles to kill him, where he goes for garden work. There he's more worried since he sleeps in a grass thatched house. He has sensed danger many times, but the Lord rescues him. Please stand in agreement with us in prayer for the Lord's angelic protection over him and his family.

South Sudan Highlights

The Lord provided for Brother Henry in South Sudan to purchase more than half of a one-acre parcel of land that he had been cheated out of four years ago. At that time, he had paid about $20,000 for the entire acre, but he paid it to people living on the land who pretended to be the rightful owners of it. Afterward (once those people had left with his money) he was stopped by the real landowner from building the framework for a church building on it. At that time, he lost his inheritance money that he had used to buy the land. However, the landowner still allowed him to live in a mud hut on the land until now, and to build a smaller church structure that the church he pastors has since outgrown. 

Recently the Lord provided for brother Henry to purchase sixty percent of the acre for the church that he pastors, so the church now legally owns that portion of the land, and still has the option to purchase the remaining forty percent of it at a later time. The Lord also provided him with an attorney who worked for him pro bono (free of charge) to help with the negotiation and legal aspects of the deal. The Lord provided for everything, including the fifteen-percent property transfer fee and the taxes. During the meeting with the landowner to purchase the property, the landowner was accompanied by about seven associates or relatives, who were in a good mood, very happy, and even giving the history of the property. They also said they fear God and expressed how pleased they were that the church was getting the property. They also pledged their support to stand behind brother Henry and the church in the community as the church assumes ownership. Brother Henry said he could see the Holy Spirit working in that meeting for the purchase. Praise the Lord!

 

All of that took up a few weeks of his time and kept him from his Phase II follow up ministry activities, but he is right back at it now that the purchase has been completed. One of the first things he did was travel on his new motorcycle to a remote town called Bor, where a new believer named Ivan, who came to Christ during brother Henry's fall harvest outreach, had already led twenty people to the Lord. That was his first long-distance ministry trip on the bike. He gave the following praise report in mid-December:

"Dear bro Len,

"I thank God for journey mercies. I traveled with one other minister to check on the disciples of a new believer named Ivan, in order to know how phase II is progressing, and also to take the [Arabic language] Bibles. I also carried with me LTG cards to guide them in formation of LTG groups in order to multiply disciples. 

"However I found that the new converts had already scattered and others went back to their former lifestyle. For easier mobilization, I had to conduct an open-air meeting in the evening with teaching from 02:00pm to 4:30, and then we concluded with an open air meeting in the evenings for three days. I thank God that by the time I was leaving, I managed to reach and minister to those who had given their lives to Jesus previously in our harvest crusade. [I believe most of the people who got saved during the original outreach were brought back into the fold during this second visit, but not all]. However, others received salvation in the course of my stay there. I am praying to God to give me grace to continue checking on them. 

"I reached Juba today (Saturday, December 13th), and I thank God who brought me back safely. Let's remember bro Felix and Deng in prayers, who really surrendered their lives to follow Jesus Christ for the few days I was there, and I believe God they will forever be for Jesus.

"Yours faithfully,

Bro Henry."

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for what He is doing in brother Henry's ministry. He also gave a praise report of some people who got saved on December 15th through a burial he officiated for a five-year old girl who died the previous day. He wrote:

"At the time of burial, I taught about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. One woman by the name of Stella, came and confessed Jesus. She requested that I should go and teach in the area where the church she is fellowshipping in is located. She said they're not teaching anything to do with the coming of Jesus Christ, but are only teaching prosperity.

"When we were coming back from the field, that same day we reached a certain center and evangelized there. One woman welcomed us and said there's no Pentecostal church in the area. She was desperately requesting that we establish one there. I told her to put it in prayers, as nothing is impossible with God; let God make her the door for the gospel to come to that town."

Glory to God. These are all prayer points that you could remember as the Lord leads.

Update: Amazingly, while Len was publishing this newsletter, brother Henry wrote to him at around 12:30 midnight (Juba time) saying, "I am at the funeral place evangelizing, and souls are receiving salvation. I give God the glory."  Then he wrote to Len at 3:34 AM (Juba time) saying, "I give God the glory. Over 20 people now have fully surrendered their lives to Jesus after hearing the gospel of end times (coming of our Lord Jesus Christ). I was filled with much joy when I saw people throwing away cigarettes, packets of alcohol, and one who confessed to having a personal witch doctor (she was delivered immediately when she was confessing). I saw people shedding tears as they were confessing their sins before the Lord." Hallelujah! (Photos: one, two, three, four).

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria shared the following praise report in December:

"Dear Brother Len,

"I am still very much committed to the work we are doing together.

"By God’s grace, I have been able to obtain more Bibles and share them with the inmates. The testimonies coming from them are truly powerful. Many of these men are genuinely repenting through LTG, and their transformation is becoming evident.

"The Betukwel fellowship has been successfully formed, and we have already met twice. Our meeting day is now fixed for Wednesdays. Another remarkable development is my connection with a sister who has gathered many widows in Betukwel for fellowship every Sunday. One of my disciples introduced me to the group, and last Sunday I visited to observe what they were doing. Honestly, the lady is doing a great work.

"During the meeting, time was given for questions and contributions, and when I stood up to share what God laid in my heart, the whole place became silent. After I finished, the widows were amazed, and the sister leading the group testified that God is truly with them because He has begun sending people to minister to them. I noticed that many of them are Catholics, so I gently taught them about the error of believing in purgatory, and they listened with humility. I am now working to gain more access so I can guide them further in the truth.

"Fellowships in other communities are also progressing by God’s special grace. It is not easy, because almost every day of the week is filled with ministry work. We (I and my ministry team) are constantly rotating between communities and sharing responsibilities as the Lord gives us strength. For now, I am personally handling the Betukwel fellowship myself. The good news is that the testimonies of what God is doing in the lives of these people are positive and encouraging.

"At this moment, my focus is to concentrate on the souls God has entrusted to us—teaching them to observe everything Jesus commanded.

"Please pray especially for the prisoners. Today, three of them shared with me similar dreams:

• One said he saw himself preaching in his community, healing the sick and raising the dead.

• Another saw himself in a Christian gathering in his community where he prophesied that a pregnant woman would give birth to a baby boy, and immediately the woman delivered the child.

• A third person had a similar dream.

"God is doing something deep among them, and many are now opening up to me and sharing hidden secrets. I believe God has given many of them into my hands for discipleship.

"Please continue to pray for us.

"Thank you,

Bro. John."

Glory to God. These are more things that you and we can be praying about to help support what God is doing through brother John in Nigeria.

More Testimonies  

Our sister Catherine in England gave the following praise report from there in Manchester, UK:

"Dear broth Len and sis Jennifer,

 

"Three people got saved and joined our Bible study group. So we are studying John chapter 4 on Wednesday... 

"I had a dream a few nights ago. I met Jesus, and He said “A big revival is coming and I shall pour out My Spirit." Then I woke up.

"Thank you so much for your support and prayers. I am praying for you all. Bless you all.

"With love in Jesus our Lord 

Sister Catherine."

Our sister Amani, who is one of our students in South Sudan had become ill during the beginning of December and her legs were swollen. But after brother Henry visited her and prayed for her, the Lord began to heal her. Praise the Lord!

Len sent out his monthly edition of the Old News That's Still Fresh in December, as he usually does each month. We hope you'll take a moment to read the content that he has published.

November 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: You know that our son Christopher (pictured left) has been looking for a job for two years. During that time, he only ever had perhaps one phone conversation with an interested recruiter. But in November he went for an actual job interview in person for an IT support job in his field. He did very well on the interview, after which they offered him the job, and he accepted.  He'll begin his new job on December 1st, Lord willing. Thanks to all of you who have been praying for him.

This is an excellent opportunity fairly close to home. The hours are not perfect and the income is below the target we were hoping and praying for, but at least it's better than nothing. It's a chance for him to work in his field, and a friend of his from college already got a job there and likes it. That friend had referred Christopher, which is why he was asked to come for an interview. Thank the Lord for prompting his friend from college to remember Christopher to his employer just as Pharaoh's chief cupbearer remembered Joseph to Pharaoh (Gen 41:9-13).

Our son Joseph (picture above to the right) is continuing his advanced studies following his recent certification as an Advanced Locksmith, as he has now begun to study Commercial Locksmithing, This is the specialized field of securing businesses by installing, repairing, and maintaining locks and access control systems, which requires a more comprehensive approach than residential locksmithing due to the increased complexity and scale of commercial properties. After he finishes that course, he will go on to study Advanced Master Keying. His goal is to finish both of these courses by Len's birthday in March by the grace of God.

Jennifer took a vacation for a few days by herself to West Virginia, and had a good time visiting with her parents, as well as her brother and his family. She really enjoyed the time away from her normal routine and came back refreshed.

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 in four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, and Uganda.

 

Since our last update, three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria have transitioned from their expansive evangelistic outreaches to conserving the harvest that has been reaped, testimonies of which you can about in the following links:

 

Conserving the Harvest in Uganda

Conserving the Harvest in Nigeria

Conserving the Harvest in South Sudan

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda has seen the Lord doing amazing things. He wrote:

"Praise the Lord, brother Len, 

"We are in phase II follow-up, where some people are undergoing deliverance. A Moslem boy by the name Anis, just gave his life to the Lord. 

"There is a family that has gone through witchcraft for decades being delivered; the children never get married, most don't have jobs, only two daughters are working; one is a judge, but was near death a few days ago, and after prayer, she has been discharged from hospital. The woman's elder daughter is working and wealthy, but has never called the mother for years and has never provided for her mother. During a deliverance prayer, she called the mother and promised to come home with food, etc. for the mother. In other words, while the mother was in deliverance prayers with us, the daughter was over calling her, more than four times before the mother responded! Immediately the mother testified that this has now happened for the first time!

"In that same home of about eight people, four more youths gave their lives to the Lord. 

"We realize there is a lot of witchcraft here that is responsible for people's suffering; a lady Sarah is being bewitched by her ex-husband, but after prayer and the Word, she is completely free.

"We had one boy, Moses, who gave his life to the Lord. He requested us to start a Church at his place; I shared with him the process of starting a Church. 

"Praying for their LTGs. 

"Blessings brother, 

Br Grace." 

Praise the Lord! Brother Grace has also had two new wells drilled in two towns of the district of Kalaki, where all those children recently got saved through his ministry. As we previously reported, the children there had been gathering dirty water from the ground for domestic use by their mothers, but now they have fresh, clean water. The third well will be drilled next. Please pray that it all goes as planned.

South Sudan Highlights

The Lord provided for Brother Henry in South Sudan to have his home in Uganda repaired, which was severely damaged by a retaliatory attack from the enemy in the form of a massive lighting strike to the home. Praise the Lord! He also shared the following testimonies in November. In one, he wrote to Len saying:

 

"Your journey of ministry, especially in Africa was predestined by God. God had planned so, though you had not seen it coming in the beginning. Alleluia...I thank God for connecting me to this revival anointing of the truth.

"There's a great impact that God has used you to bring in Africa, especially where I am in South Sudan. Yesterday...I met one lady I used to preach to, she has been fellowshipping from a cult "prophetic" church. I used to preach to her, but she could not listen until I submitted her in prayers. Yesterday [when] I stopped [to speak with her], she immediately told me that I am a true man of God, because I speak the truth [in] what I have been teaching her. She got a strange dream, and from that time she fears going to that church again. It has been now four weeks that she is not fellowshipping [there]. I led her into salvation, and requested her to come to church for deliverance. You can now see what God is doing because of this ministry that has reached South Sudan.

"Yours faithfully,

Bro Henry."

Glory to God!  

He also wrote: "I thank God for what He is doing, our LTG numbers are increasing weekly, I have managed to notice much zeal for evangelism among those who are attending their LTG meetings weekly. I thank God for sister Nancy who had just given her life to Jesus, she came with her husband to the church and when I was teaching, she lifted up her hand, I thought she wanted to give her life to Jesus but she said no, she she wanted to confess. I gave her chance, she stood up and said her iPad that she came with, was bought for her by man who wants to confuse her marriage, she said she had been committing adultery with him but now she can't miss heaven because of him, she vowed to end the relationship immediately after repenting. I see people working out their salvation with fear and trembling, I was scared that it was cause to cause a fight because the man too was present, but instead the husband was happy, he said he knew about his wife's relationship with that man but she could not listen, he thanked God that his wife is now saved and changed."

Hallelujah! The Lord also provided for brother Henry with a motorcycle for his ministry. Praise the Lord. Thank you for praying for him.

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria share the following updates:

"By God’s grace, we are gathering the harvest gradually! The LTGs (Life Transformation Groups) have been formed. Though not all believers here can read, those who can have been taught the LTG pattern and have started forming the groups."

 

"In the prison, the only thing I can do now is to form LTGs (Life Transformation Groups) among the inmates. The testimonies I’m receiving now are truly amazing. One of the members told me that he used to read the Bible before he was imprisoned, but now he can no longer see clearly. I prayed for him to regain his sight and ability to read the Bible again.

Another man shared that he has never gone to church in his entire life, but now he is asking me to always pray for him so he can live only for Jesus and reflect His image.

Those who have Bibles and can read have joined the LTG group, and the results are remarkable — everyone who joined the LTG has completely stopped smoking. Many others want to join, but don’t have Bibles to participate. As I continue working with them, I’m praying and thinking about how to involve even those without Bibles.

Many have also promised to stop smoking. The LTG is really working powerfully here in prison. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to take pictures within the premises, so I may not be able to post any images. I truly wish I could show you photos or videos of the remarkable testimonies happening right now."  

Praise the Lord! The Lord has since provided Bibles for those without Bibles, and brother John was planning on distributing them this weekend of the 14th-15th.

He also wrote:

"In Ohong, a discipleship fellowship has already been established. In Ukwel, Obudu, discipleship meetings will officially begin this coming Monday, and they will hold every Monday thereafter. "Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to Kuyia for another outreach.

"Right now, I’ve sponsored Brother Stephen to Karu, where we’ve gone twice for follow-up visits to finalize arrangements for a new discipleship fellowship. By next week, we’ll be there in full force to officially establish it.

"In every place we go, once there’s an open door, we form fellowship meetings to help believers grow.

"I’ve also sponsored Pastor John to go to Yala, a far distance, to make arrangements for us to go there soon and establish fellowship with the brethren. In Obudu, a home cell fellowship is already active at Pastor David’s house.

"All glory to God for the grace to keep pressing forward. The work continues."

Amen. Glory to God.

More Testimonies

Our sister Amani, who is one of our students in South Sudan, wrote: "If we pray and ask the Lord for the supernatural gifts by faith, then we are able to receive them...I thought in the beginning that when someone has supernatural powers, that person is so unique and different, but from the time I started my course under DTS, I strongly have faith in the supernatural, and I have seen a lot [of things] turning around when I decree by faith in the name of Jesus. There are so many people who have come to salvation as a result of signs and wonders." Praise the Lord!

Our brother Peter in Kenya, who is one of our students, had lost his job recently. But in answer to prayer, he found another job. Praise the Lord!

Sister Collete, who is one of our graduates in Kenya, is recovering from pneumonia that she and her family had. She is improving, but still has a cough. 

Brother William in South Sudan is a new believer that came to Christ through brother Henry. The Lord has healed him of the head injuries he sustained when he was beaten with logs for his faith in Christ. Praise the Lord. Please pray the Lord will provide him with a new job.

Len sent out his monthly edition of the Old News That's Still Fresh in November, as he usually does each month. We hope you'll take a moment to read the content that he has published.

October 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 October, we celebrated Jennifer's birthday by taking her out to dinner as a family. She is also taking a special trip to West Virginia for several days to visit with her parents. Please pray that her trip will be safe and enjoyable, and that she will have a blessed time visiting with her parents. She will also have the opportunity to visit with her brother and his family while she is there as well.

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 in four nations including Kenya, South Sudan, Nigeria, and Uganda.

 

Since our last update, three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria have continued their evangelistic outreaches to various communities across their respective countries, and the Lord continued to bring in a harvest. You can read the details and see photos of what happened at the following links:

 

Uganda End Time Evangelistic Outreach

South Sudan End Time Evangelistic Outreach

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda has seen the Lord doing amazing things. In one village they saw many children and parents come to Christ as a result of their preaching. He wrote:

"Hi, dear brother Len, 

"It has been a 3-day, door-to-door evangelism here in Kalaki...My friends, the children, who introduced me to their parents, gathered with their parents after door-to-door evangelism, and embraced the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior! In attendance were more than 50 people, in a village that has many street children doing a lot of burglary, breaking into people's homes, theft, murders, etc. It's now a transformation with a lot of thanks to the Lord God!

"Today we had to organize a fellowship meal together with the children and some parents, thanking God for what He is doing! This has never happened in most of these villages, and has turned out to be a big children's fellowship; pray with us, as we plan to have these kinds of arrangements once in a while as the Lord enables. 

Thank you.

Blessings, brother.

Bro Grace"

 

Brother Grace is also having water wells dug in three different places within Kalaki, where the children have been going out with jugs to fetch dirty, ground water for domestic use. 

At Len's suggestion, he and our teams in the other two African countries are transitioning now to conserve the harvest that has been reaped. Brother Grace wrote in part:

"Conserving the harvest is really a priority now; water baptism, baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire, and discipleship. This should be done in places such as Otucopi, Odokomit, Nakatunya, in Soroti; then Mbale, Kampala in 2 locations, Otuboi in Kalaki, Ongole,and Awaliwal, Ojukot in Kalaki.

"We need to appoint elders and pastors in these areas for the churches urgently. I am consider traveling to these locations with a smaller team of six. Yes, brother, there will be many congregations.  

"Brother Len, what God has put in your heart about the new congregations is exactly what we had been talking about as a mission's team, we thank God for the confirmation. What you have shared with me is very, very right, urgent, and timely!

"We thank God, dear brother, for His grace and guidance, 

"God bless you, 

Bro Grace."

The Lord also miraculously healed him of a nasty flu on one occasion, when he had fever, chills, headache, and body aches, which were preventing him from conducting the ministry. That amazing story is at this link: Nasty Flu Miraculously Cured. Praise the Lord!

South Sudan Highlights

Brother Henry has continued to see the Lord do equally remarkable things in South Sudan. 

A number of people got saved out of a cult, one of whom was a man named William. The cult members were so angry about his salvation that they came with logs and beat him around the face and head, causing significant injuries and swelling that required medical care at the hospital. They also used an old loan that had been given to him three years ago, which he was never told he would have to repay, as an excuse to have him arrested and detained by the authorities. But the Lord enabled brother Henry to negotiate his release on bond. Later William's boss fired him, when he resisted working on Sundays. This new brother in Christ needs our prayers, especially for healing from his head injuries, and for a new job.

On another occasion, during an outreach, an old man got saved and delivered from alcohol. He asked brother Henry to come to his home, where he had family members, relatives, and others from the community gathered in and around his home, including some under a shelter outside. Brother Henry preached to them and many got saved.

Then on October 10th, one lady was saved and delivered from Marine spirits. Brother Henry wrote:

"She was saying she is the queen of the sea, and she fought much during deliverance, but at last I had a revelation about the necklace she was wearing. I removed it from her neck, and the battle increased greatly, but she was delivered totally, and surrendered her life to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. 

"On Saturday night, October 11th, I got a dream that my home in Uganda was sinking, and everything was being destroyed, including the latrine, plus lives lost. I told this to my team to enter into prayers seriously, and I also called my mum in Uganda, and told her to enter into prayers, because God revealed to me an attack.

"On Sunday, October 12th, she was also in prayers and fasting with us. At around 9:00am, my daughter got attacked with severe coldness on the same Sunday we had started the fasting. She was rushed to hospital, and she was put on an IV drip. I called and prayed with her on the phone. They discharged her at around 2:00pm the same day. Then at 3:00 PM, a strong lightning struck the house, and the lights were all broken from the inside of the home to outside. One side of the house got a crack, because the lightning bolt went deep into the ground and caused a trench. The tree next to the house was split into two and dried immediately. The house inside was all full of fire. What is amazing is that my mum and children, plus others, were inside the house, but none of them were affected. They are all alive, except that my mum felt a small pain in her left leg. 

"I am still in prayers, and God is doing amazing things in my missions. I thank God, because the devil won't manage to weaken us in any way. I count it a great gain when I see people giving their lives to Jesus!" 

Glory to God! His sick daughter is now well. Please pray with us for brother Henry for his continued protection. Now he will need to have substantial repairs done to his home in Uganda following this demonic counter attack against him. He concludes, "Let's remain cheerful in our faith in Jesus' name. More testimonies are coming, as the Holy Spirit is our Helper." If you want to help, please go to the GiveSendGo campaign that we've set up for brother Henry.

We also enrolled a new student in South Sudan, brother Benson (pictured left), a 41-year old brother, who is already getting so much from the Lord since he began his process of applying for enrollment. He got baptized in water by brother Henry, and immediately afterward he was wonderfully baptized with the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!

Here is his stated reason for enrolling in the DTS:

"I have come through an encounter with bro Henry, a missionary preaching in South Sudan, and I was touched by his zeal for the gospel. I felt like receiving the same grace for the gospel, because South Sudan is under much persecution. Most preachers don't preach the truth. I approached him, and asked how I can do what he's doing. He said first I should give my life to Jesus, and secondly he will recommend me to DTS that transformed his life for the gospel." 

Nigeria Highlights

On one occasion, brother John in Nigeria rode with brother Stephen through the rain on a motorcycle until their bodies were shaking from the cold. They spent time evangelizing, preaching, and praying for people. The responses and acceptance of Christ by their hearers gave them great joy.  

On October 8th, after being outfitted with rain gear, as it is rainy season there, brother John wrote: "Although rain fell on us today, I didn’t feel it at all—because I was well covered with my new rain suit, and my heart was filled with joy and passion for what God is doing here.

"Today's outreach to Karu was successful. The community is giving me great joy because of the attention and openness they are showing in receiving the message of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

"Right now, we are engaging in house-to-house evangelism. On the last weekend of this month, we will be holding a three-day program in the community until God's light begins to shine brighter and brighter there." 

Praise the Lord!

Len sent out his monthly edition of the Old News That's Still Fresh in October, as he usually does each month. We hope you'll take a moment to read the content that he has published.

We shared with you previously about a Christian Iranian refugee family in Turkey, whose twelve-year old son, named Sina (pictured left) is suffering from deafness. He did have his cochlear implant installed in August, but he has been having issues with it. Here is the update we received from Turkey on October 14th:

"There is still some problem with using the device. The external part won't stay in place properly, possibly due to less than complete healing from the surgery. So they are taping it as well, so that Sina can use it, which he is doing and trying to get used to.

They will be seeing the doctor again this week, I think, so let us pray that everything will be sorted out."

Let's put him in our prayers for a new job, because that brother of his in cultic ministry influenced his boss to fire him, when he resisted working on Sunday.
