October Update -- 2026

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 September we took a few days vacation at the beach together as a family. It was a blessing to get away for a bit and spend time together relaxing, as well as communing with the Lord.

In October, we celebrated Jennifer's birthday with dinner out, then a little party at home afterward with dessert, cards, and prayer for her.

Christopher is still doing well in his new job as an IT Help Desk Analyst. He still hasn't received the delayed promotion he was supposed to get, and plans to speak with his supervisor about it, so we keep waiting and praying. 

Joseph is continuing with his homeschool now in the 11th grade (Junior year). He is currently taking his annual standardized tests this week. He also finished reading a book about Bible rebinding and watched some videos, but due to Len's busy schedule, he has not yet set up time for Joseph to job shadow a professional book smith who rebinds Bibles for a few days sometime in the near future.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eleventh year (see DTS photo album), we'd like to update you on the amazing 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.

Our ongoing Phase III ministry collaboration with three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, is documented at the links below:

The following is our best attempt at a condensed version of the many praise reports.

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda, who has now planted fourteen new fellowships there and one prayer altar, has seen the Lord doing amazing things. He continues to provide oversight and conduct leadership development with the elders. Here are some excerpts from his updates and testimony: 

"My beloved brother Len, 

"Grace, peace and love from God our Father and Savior Jesus Christ,  with much humility and thanks to you, please kindly receive our update:

"Amen B: What was planned to be open air preaching in this location was interrupted by heavy rains that has continued to this date. Seven people gave their lives to the Lord: with invitations from a man called Alex to his home, this man cried that he needed help, because his wife had run away from home three days before we arrived. We also got an open-hearted woman by the name Elizabeth who invited us to her home. Her husband had been a heavy drunkard but accepted the Lord with their four children.  

"The elders, brothers William and Lawrence, are publicly reading the Scriptures and conducting discipleship with multiplication. They travel preaching the gospel. Another fellowship has been birthed in Oculoi village, which the planted. 

"Ginnery: We have brother Raymond being discipled and he happens to be working hand in hand with bro Amos  (the elder) now. Bro Raymond came to the Lord way back when we had our first outreach in this location, and has since continued being a disciple. Multiplication (of disciples) is taking place.

"Nakatunya: There is a dangerous habit of drunkenness, witchcraft, prostitution, religious spirits, theft and robbery in this location, to name but a few. Bro Boniface and the fellowship had a month of prayer dealing with false foundations, etc. that ended last week. At the end of it all we had outreach with them, with salvations, and deliverances. There was a child of about six years who had been suffering from kidney problems and the hospital failed in the attempt to treat him. After prayer, the sister of the mother came testifying that the boy's health has returned to normal, we praise the Lord. 

"Awoja: Brother Julius and sis Rose traveled back to Mulago for more (cancer) treatment.  

"Otucopi: We had an outreach here with bro Charles, several gave their lives to the Lord. 

"Mbale: Bro Davis by God's grace is continuing with discipleship, public reading of the Scriptures and evangelism in their village.  

"Celtel: Bro Yokolamu asked me for prayers for the weather which has turned out to be unpredictable with much sunshine (drought), and many people living without meals; may God intervene. 

"Ongole: We have a testimony of these young believers continually fellowshipping and reading the Scriptures daily. I meet some of their parents, interact with them, sharing the gospel.

"Awawal: The fellowship and bro Vincent are evangelizing, praying, conducting public reading of the Scriptures and discipleship. We traveled and had outreach with them that brought seven people to the Lord; Margaret was healed from neck pain and delivered from spirits of fear that tormented her every night starting at midnight. Stella was delivered from suicidal spirits; she always wanted to die because her husband divorced her three years ago. She is helpless with her 3 children; now she's given her life to Jesus. 

"Amotom: The fellowship is growing steadily with evangelism; prayers of deliverance. People tormented by demons and sicknesses call bro Dan for online prayers. We thank God for the discipleship, multiplication as the new believers are bearing fruit, they move about reaching out to their friends who have been drug addicts. They staged evangelism in their trading center, gave undeniable living testimonies before their own community in broad daylight of who they were before, how they came to the Lord and what they are today. Bro Dan told me several others came to the Lord with joy.

"The Lord bless you dear brother,

"Your bro Grace."  

There is more to praise God for that is not included here for the sake of brevity. Please pray for brother Grace and his team, including the specific requests he mentioned. 

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria shared with us about the amazing things God is doing there through his ministry efforts across the nine active fellowships that he has planted with his team. He continues to provide oversight and conduct leadership development with the elders. However, due to his injury, he is unable to use his motorcycle and is traveling mainly by public transportation.

Here are some excerpts from his recent updates on the health of the churches:

"Dear brother Len

May the light of God continue to shine around you.

"The ministry continues to experience steady growth and fruitfulness across all centers through regular prayer, Bible study, discipleship, evangelism, house to house outreach, public Scripture reading and leadership training. The House fellowship is progressing well, and leaders' training is actively ongoing to equip the brethren. The Prison Fellowship is seeing remarkable spiritual transformation, with inmates deeply engaged in discipleship and demonstrating tangible behavioral changes.

"The mini-crusade at Atiekpe was successful, and new souls were added to the fellowship. Follow-up and discipleship of the new converts are ongoing.

"In Betukwel the outreach is ongoing, and the brethren are actively participating in the work.

"At the Prison Fellowship, Bible teaching, prayer, discipleship and follow-up continue among the inmates, with encouraging evidence of spiritual transformation.

"To support this ongoing work, the ministry requests prayer for continued spiritual growth, the firm establishment of all fellowships, and open doors for evangelism to reach more souls. Please also pray for strength and wisdom for all leaders and workers, grace for the continued public reading of Scripture, the preservation of the harvest, and effective solutions for follow-up in hard-to-reach locations like Karu."

Please remember brother John in prayer, especially for healing of his broken collar bone. Up until just a few days ago, he had only the makeshift sling shown in the first picture, until the proper one he purchased online was finally delivered, which is shown in the bottom picture. He still needs healing from shoulder pain, too.

South Sudan Highlights 

Brother Henry in South Sudan continues to provide oversight over all four churches and five prayer altars that he has established, as well as conduct leadership development with the elders. He provided the following encouraging updates:

"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. I thank God for Bro Len for the great work he has done in my life through teachings, and constantly following up with me. I learnt a life of accountability, and assessing myself if really what I did was done in the right way, and guided by the Truth. I am so proud of the Truth even when I am going through persecution. I also want to thank God for my mum in Uganda who had a terrible attack. She has been bedridden for three days now after fainting due to blood pressure. And she was also found with a lot of typhoid and malaria."

Note: Initially brother Henry's mother, Sarah, was responding to treatment and felt much better. But then she relapsed and is back in the hospital, so she needs our prayers. 

"I really thank God for your guidance bro Len, because I remember the time you asked me a question about how I am able to disciple my own family. Especially my mum and the children. I then remembered when you told me that sometimes I can handle other things on phone calls. The Holy Spirit reminded me of that email. I referred back to it, and requested my mum to be going to our neighbour in Uganda at least three times a week, so that I am able to share with them the word of God, and also prayers since she has no smartphone. I thank God because the neighbor at least gave them a chance for two times a week, and I am moving well with them through the Word, and prayers. My mum has now gotten an LTG partner by the name Mama Derrick. I have taught them how LTG works, and I thank God everything is going well. So at least I have a special time of fellowship with them. Below is an update of the fellowships and the different prayer altars. 

"Juba: There's a brother by the name Mike, who was brought to the church for prayers. The family tried to treat his legs in so many places but they're just becoming worse. The feeling in the toes had started dying. He could not feel anything when you touch them. But I want to thank God after praying for him for some days, the feeling has been restored. The legs have also reduced in size greatly. He couldn't sleep at night but now he sleeps well. I give all the glory to God for the great work He is doing. Discipleship classes are ongoing.

"We have been experiencing rain with much wind that has been affecting houses. Houses falling and roof being carried off. Our church in Juba was also affected because of the heavy rains, we remain unshaken in faith as we believe God for a break through.

"Yambio: God is faithful. Regardless of the constant persecution we have gone through, the believers are strong in the Lord. Discipleship classes are on going. I have been praying and fasting for bro Gerald to come out of prison."

Update: The prison was demanding $1,000 initially to release bro Gerald, then they lowered it to $180 later when bro Henry refused to pay the bribe. So they eventually lowered it to $100, but he still refused. In the end they released bro Gerald from prison after spending 37 days incarcerated when he had done nothing wrong. He is doing well spiritually, but has lost weight, and seems disturbed emotionally from the trauma he has endured. Let's pray for comfort and healing for him.

"This has been a week of joy because of the amazing testimony of Bro Gerald. The whole church has been happy. I saw much joy in the lives of people. It was a great testimony. One woman told me how she thought he would never be released again, but God is great." 

"Wau: Discipleship classes on going. We have some new converts. One old lady testified how she was delivered from alcohol. According to her she was in salvation but moving from church to church. And still she was drinking alcohol without any problem. But from the time I prayed for her to receive the Holy Spirit. This when she started feeling uncomfortable about it , and she started praying against it. Now if she smells alcohol, she feels so bad.

"Rokon: I thank God for the security. We were facing big challenges in the security, but now the area is safe. We give God all the glory. We conducted door to door evangelism, and some people gave their lives to Jesus. And we also baptized some people by water. I give all the glory to God. The numbers are increasing by the grace of God. Discipleship training is going on well.

"Moriok: We thank God for the people who are giving their lives to Jesus for every meeting. During our meeting people confess their sins, and I am seeing lives being charged. God is really doing amazing things. People are receiving healing, and being delivered from evil spirits.

"Check point: By the grace of God people have developed much zeal to serve the Lord. I have heard a good number testifying that they can now pray. We have also registered new converts. God is so powerful. A lady by the name Aisha who was a Muslim, accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She said that she had been getting strange dreams when I was praying for her. Her home is not very far away from where we are always having the prayers. She would always get dreams that she is with us for prayers, until she decided to visit us. That's how she accepted Jesus Christ after hearing the gospel. I give all the glory to God. 

"Bor: I thank God for the security. I have also received testimonies of people's lives changing. This week five people surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. Some people were delivered from evil spirits during the time of our prayers. I give all the glory to God. 

"Gorom: The altar is also going well by the grace of God. Numbers of those attending keep on increasing gradually. People have been healed from different sickness. 

"Lok Luri: Two young men confessed Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They said that they were attacking people at night, and stealing their phones. When they heard the gospel of repentance, they decided to give their lives to Jesus. 

"God is doing amazing things. There's a witch who went to the local leaders to complain against us that we are making noise in the area. I also suspect he gave them some money to act against us and chase us from the area. When I was summoned by the leaders, I only told them to differentiate between noise and prayer. I then asked them if noise can heal, deliver, and transform life. I gave examples of people who are known in the area for drinking and stealing, and are now following Jesus. This is when the leader confessed to me that (witch doctor) is the one who sent them but (asked me to) forgive them, because they are witnesses of what I am talking about. I give God all the glory for that. 

"We are also humbly sending our greetings to the brothers and sisters in other countries, and to bro Len and the family.

"In conclusion, I want to thank God for the great work He is doing through us. I give all the glory to Him.

"Your servant,

"Bro Henry."

After brother Henry recently preached at the church he pastors, a large rock fell through the ceiling right where he had previously been standing while he was preaching. The rock had been on the roof holding down a tarp to cover a hole, since he cannot afford nails to fix the roof. Thank the Lord the rock did not fall through the ceiling while he was preaching, because the Lord protected him. Pray the Lord will provide for the roof to be fixed.

Praise the Lord for what He is doing through brother Henry. We give God all the glory.

Note: For conciseness, the testimonies of the African brothers have been edited and rearranged to combine multiple reports into one, while retaining the same meaning.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

More Testimonies

Sister Catherine, one of our DTS graduates in England, sent in the following testimony:

"Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer,

 

At outreach last Thursday, three young girls got saved. I told them about when I met Jesus in heaven. Then told them the gospel and prayed for them. And they accepted Jesus into their lives. 

I gave the teaching on Tuesday evening at the Bible study, and two ladies got saved, as I shared my testimony. Thank and praise our Lord.

With love in Jesus our Lord, 

Sister Catherine"

September Update -- 2026

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: Thank you to those who prayed for Len for his Youtube channel to be reinstated after it was permanently shut down under false allegations. Praise the Lord! His "Lion of the Cross" channel was reinstated a few days after the newsletter was sent out last month. He has since uploaded his videos to both Rumble and Bitchute, in case that ever happens again. You can click or tap on any of the links in this paragraph to see his channel on those three platforms.

Obviously the enemy got very scared of all the worship videos and podcasts Len was posting on Youtube, and found it to be a threat to his kingdom of darkness. Now all the worship videos, and all his gospel podcasts, and other biblical content like his book, A Willing Heart to Please the Father, are all available to the public once again.  

Christopher is still doing well in his new job as an IT Help Desk Analyst. His supervisor has now told him the promotion he was supposed to get is being delayed due to understaffing, so we keep waiting and praying, hoping it won't be much longer now that he has passed all their tests to prove he is fit for the promotion. 

Joseph is back to homeschool now in the 11th grade (Junior year), including his post-advanced locksmith studies. He completed the subject matter about opening safes and is onto another book now with different material, some of which he is already familiar with. He has also begun studying how to rebind Bibles with new leather covers. He is reading a book about it and has watched some videos, and Len has also spoken with a professional book smith who rebinds Bibles about allowing Joseph to shadow him on his job for a few days sometime in the near future. 

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its tenth year, we'd like to update you on the amazing 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.

Our ongoing Phase III ministry collaboration with three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, is documented at the links below:

The following is our best attempt at a condensed version of the many praise reports.

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda, who has now planted fourteen new fellowships there and one prayer altar, has seen the Lord doing amazing things. He continues to provide oversight and conduct leadership development with the elders. Here are some excerpts from his updates and testimony: 

"My beloved brother Len, 

Grace, peace and love from God our Father and Savior Jesus Christ,  with much humility and thanks to you, please kindly receive our update:

"Acida: I love what's happening in locations like this one; they are continuing reading of the Scriptures, with calls from some fellowship members coming to me testifying everyday change in their lives compared to what they were in religion. More prayers for this location, too, as people are dying of assaults and poisoning! Bro Moses was injured in his leg by a machine cutting trees. But he is getting better."

"Alitimon: Bro Peter and Joseph had an outreach in the nearby trading center with notorious activities, always resisting the gospel. We thank God for the Church's resilience."

"Awawal: Brother Vincent has been busy checking on the fellowship's progress encouraging attendance of public reading of the Scriptures, discipleship. He says the public reading of the Scriptures is gaining root. The children are actively engaging in Bible reading."

"Ongole community is ever under demonic attacks where people fall sick mysteriously, witchcraft, etc. The fellowship is praying for the salvation of souls. We thank God for our sis Petelina, who is completely healed (from hernia) and restored!"

"Otucopi: Brother Charles and the fellowship had outreach, four people got saved, and a lady called Christine got healed from leg pain that lasted four months. Brother Charles is thankful for the leadership development, discipleship and public reading of the Scriptures. He says his wife and children too are good participants in this discipleship and are growing up in the Lord."

"Awoja: Brother Julius and sis Rose traveled to Mulago referral hospital for further treatment; prayers needed for them. Sis Rose still trusting God for the best, waiting for test results on the 16th of September, more prayers needed for a miracle." 

Amotom: "Brother Len, I live to praise God for His working! We took our way back from Awawal and Alitimon locations through Kapelebyong to brother Tom, Oderai altar caretaker, hoping to reach Soroti by today. Along the way we reached Amotom trading center and Okunguri Center where we made a stop over. We met opium smokers, drunkards, and criminals. A lady called Teddy happens to be the supplier of these intoxicants. She refused to open her heart for the gospel, quite a number gave their lives to the Lord including their leaders by the names Dan, Hakim who has been a Moslem, Joshua, etc. We quickly organized water baptism for them as you may see in the pics (pic 1, pic 2, pic 3). The 2 days we were there have impacted lives, there is generally happiness from the community and government leaders.

"I kindly ask for prayers for what is taking place in these locations; Amotom most likely may be a case for discipleship. 

"Amen B: Brother William and Lawrence are taking root in leadership development, also doing well in discipleship and public reading of the Scriptures. They are moving on well with their evangelistic outreaches."

"Ginnery: Brother Amos testifies receiving some new people in the Church after evangelism outreaches. He had leadership development with us, a wonderful time of prayer and deliverance, during which many were released from oppression of the enemy."

"Oderai: Bro Tom's wife called me, only to say her husband was critically sick. By the time I reached there with two brothers, he couldn't sit, open his eyes, or eat anything. He is reported to be having issues with his heart, liver, and one kidney, suspected to have been poisoned." The suspects were family members and the issue was over a land dispute. Brother Tom has since been recovering well.

"Brother Len we are praying majorly for our weather, as we have no rains yet, even in the second season of the year; there are crop failures, and many people across the country eat once a day and some parts without any food! God remains God and He will always prevail. 

"God bless you dear brother

"Brother Grace." 

There is more to praise God for that is not included here for the sake of brevity. Brother Grace is overseeing their fall gospel outreaches this week (week of September 15th). Please pray for these outreaches and for the ongoing work that brother Grace and his team are doing in Uganda, as well as the specific requests he mentioned. 

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria shared with us about the amazing things God is doing there through his ministry efforts across the nine active fellowships that he has planted with his team. He continues to provide oversight and conduct leadership development with the elders. Here are some excerpts from his recent updates on the health of the churches, beginning with a testimony about how God spared his life in a serious motorcycle accident:

"Dear brother Len,

"I sincerely thank and glorify God for His mercy, protection, and faithfulness. I recently survived a serious motorcycle accident that could have had a far more tragic outcome. By God’s grace, I am alive today.

"The accident resulted in an injury to my right clavicle (collarbone), and I continue to experience pain in my right shoulder and chest. I am deeply grateful to God for preserving my life and preventing a more serious outcome.

"I also sincerely appreciate Brother Len, Sister Jennifer, and everyone who prayed for me and offered their support. May God richly bless you all.

"Above all, I give God all the glory for preserving my life. Amen."

Unfortunately, he will need to keep his arm in a sling for 8-12 weeks to allow time for his broken collarbone to heal. That means he won't be able to ride his motorcycle, which was seriously damaged. Thankfully to God, the Lord provided for the cost to have it repaired, but he won't be able to use it for a few months now until his shoulder is healed. Afterward, it could take up to nine months of structured physical therapy to regain the strength in his right arm. Please remember him in your prayers for healing. 

This presents a major challenge, since he used the bike to visit all the churches he oversees, including his prison ministry. Besides that, it all happened right when he was about to move to his new home that the Lord provided. He was able to get help from the brethren and move out of the home where his landlord and neighbors had tried to poison him and his family and attempted to cast evil spells on him. 

The Lord finally got him out of there and into the new place. You can see pictures of the move and the new place here. Since there is no well or source of water at the new property, he had to purchase a large water tank and build a rainwater collection system (pictured here). This is a temporary solution until his new landlord can eventually afford to hire a company to drill a borehole for water. All of these are matters for prayer. More pictures of the move and the new home are at this link.

Due to the timing of all this commotion and the move, he was not able to preach at one of the first planned mini crusades for this season and had to have a newly trained elder at one of the newly planted churches conduct the mini crusade in his absence.

As for the ministry there, he wrote to us before the accident happened: "We continue to thank the Lord for His faithfulness over the work in Nigeria. The ministry is progressing in different ways across the fellowship centres. In addition to our regular fellowship meetings, we have been giving greater attention to prayer, revival meetings, personal evangelism, follow-up, leadership development, spiritual counselling, and creating opportunities for believers to grow deeper in their walk with Christ."

"The prison fellowship continues to be one of the areas where we are seeing encouraging spiritual responses."

"Please continue to pray that the Lord will strengthen the work, increase the LTG compliance in every fellowship, save more souls, and establish the Gospel firmly in every community we are reaching. Please continue to pray for my complete healing, relief from pain, and a speedy recovery."

South Sudan Highlights 

Brother Henry in South Sudan continues to provide oversight over all four churches and five prayer altars that he has established, as well as conduct leadership development with the elders. He provided the following encouraging updates:

"Dear bro Len,

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

"This country needs prayers because there's nothing like law, but I thank God because souls are giving their lives to Jesus. However the work of our Lord Jesus Christ is going on well."

"I want to give God the glory for the great work he is doing in South Sudan. I always thank God for having had an opportunity to go through DTS course...I say this because some of the things I go through as a servant of God in South Sudan, I don't think I would have managed if I had not gone through deeper training to understand the cost of discipleship, and the eternal glory. We are just here praising God, and I have realized that there are moments when every material thing will be taken away by the enemy, clothes, houses, cars, money, and others, but you rest in the Lord and feel so peaceful.

"Juba. The fellowship is doing well by the grace of God. There's a gentleman around 36 years of age who was brought to me for prayers by the name Bidal, and his condition was worse. He couldn't walk, and even sitting was a big problem for him. They had tried hospital and witchcraft, but the condition was getting worse everyday. I led him to repentance, and salvation. After that I prayed, and he was delivered from demonic spirits. 

"We decided to go and preach to the family, so that they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We thank God, because over 10 people in the family surrendered their lives to Jesus. The good news is that the brother can now sit, and also able to lift up his legs by himself. The legs, which were too swollen, have now reduced greatly. I also heard that now he can stand by himself for like 5 minutes and sit down. I want to give all the glory to God. 

"But I want to tell you, brother, the devil is a liar: when we came back from the ministry, we found that the house that belongs to the brothers I went with had been broken into, and all their clothes were stolen, except the ones they were wearing that day. One of them cried, but when I preached to them that this is gain to us who are in the Lord, I saw a smile on their faces. I told them to celebrate God for the souls God has used to win to Him, who were in darkness. This is a great testimony compared to what happened to us. I have also witnessed more testimonies, and I give all the glory to God."

Yambio. Brother Odong was released from prison. But then they arrested and imprisoned his pastor, brother Gerald, whom brother Henry had ordained as the elder of the Yambio church he planted. Gerald has been imprisoned on false charges, and after serious prayer, as well as legal intervention by the attorney, they recently dropped all charges against him and agreed to release him, too. But they want $180 USD, which was essentially a bribe that they claim is for office expenses, and brother Henry refuses to pay it. So brother Gerald is still in prison, and needs our prayers to be released.

"The ministry (in Yambio) is doing well. I had a good time with the Saints and encouraged them to be strong. Reminding them of what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ went through, but we have to be strong. I encouraged them to continue praying for each other especially those who labour in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Different sessions of prayer are being conducted, and we also have a prayer chain at night."

"I thank God for the move of the Holy Spirit. The time I was there, I spent much time in intercession prayers, and many people joined the prayers. During the prayers some people got filled with the Holy Spirit, and others received the baptism of Fire. There's a lady who was working in the bar by the name Jackie, that's the time she surrendered her life to Jesus Christ. I have been following up with her even when I left so that she can be transformed for Christ. I thank God her life has greatly changed."

"Wau.  By the grace of God Wau is doing well. Discipleship classes are also going well. They are also in joint prayers for the Yambio fellowship."

"Check point.  We thank God for the altar. People were delivered from evil spirits. We also prayed for some people with chronic illnesses, and I believe that God has healed them though I have not heard from them again."

"Rokon. God is doing great things in Rokon. People have testimonies of healing, deliverance etc. There's a woman, who just walked in the Church during praise and when she entered the church, immediately she was delivered from the spirit of snake. I knew it was a spirit of snake, because during deliverance she was moving on the ground like a snake. After deliverance she was preached to and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior." 

"Bor. Let's continue praying for Bor because the insecurity is really increasing. Two days ago a car on transit was attacked by armed men and one person killed. However the ministry is not shaken. The gospel is being preached, and people are surrendering their lives to Jesus."

"Gorom. Numbers have increased. Four people confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior."

"Lok Luri.  People received deliverance from evil spirits. A lady called Aisha gave her life to Jesus, and she was also delivered from abdominal related issues."

"Moriok. By the grace of the challenges we had in Moriok were resolved amicably by the local leaders. And even one of those men who was disturbing, I was able to preach to him and he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. He also attended our prayers, and I give all the glory to God."

"In conclusion, I thank God for your prayers always. I pray may the good Lord protect you, and the entire family. Our best regards to the brothers and sisters, your beautiful family.

"Your servant,

Bro Henry."

Praise the Lord for what He is doing through brother Henry. We give God all the glory.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

More Testimonies

Two more new students in South Sudan enrolled in our DTS Light school. Their names are brother Osman and sister Scovia (pictured left). Both of them got saved through brother Henry's ministry last fall in Juba, and both were also baptized with the Holy Spirit once they gave their lives to Christ.

Brother Osman says he is enrolling because, "I really want to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ." Sister Scovia says her reason is: "I want to learn more about the true gospel of God, and I desire to be a disciple of Jesus Christ like bro Henry. In South Sudan there are very few true ministers of the gospel. Most people are just enriching themselves with prosperity gospel without talking the truth of repentance, and end times."

We want to give them both a warm welcome to the DTS. 

Len sent out his monthly edition of the Old News That's Still Fresh in September, 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. These include Overcomers, The Kingdom of God is Like This, As Little Children Do, Just Like Jonah, Boast in the Lord, The Story of the Savior, Faithful to Your Promises, What is in Your Hand?, and As the Still, Fair Court. You can also view a playlist of his worship songs. 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.

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

1. For enabling Len's Youtube channel to be reinstated after it was shut down unjustly.
2. For helping Len to produce several music videos of original worship songs to glorify God and edify the Body of Christ.

4. For all the amazing testimonies of brothers Grace, John, and Henry from their Phase III ministries that have resulted in 27 churches being planted with over 1,250 disciples (and growing), plus six thriving prayer altars.
5. For sparing brother John's life from being ended in the bike accident, and enabling him to move away from the dangerous environment he had been living in, set up a rainwater collection system at the new place, and for providing for his bike to be repaired.

3. For the Lord to heal brother John's broken collarbone quickly.

August Update -- 2026

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: Christopher (seated left) is still doing well in his new job as an IT Help Desk Analyst. Management has been testing him out to see if he qualifies for the promotion to Senior Analyst that his supervisor recommended him for, which would be a blessing, since it would come with a pay increase. He has been told it is possible he may have the promotion by the end of this month. We're praying this will happen.

Joseph (in blue) is on summer break from homeschool, but continuing his post-advanced locksmith studies. He is finding this particular subject matter about opening safes to be much more challenging that any of the previous locksmithing studies he has done for his previously awarded certificate as an Advanced Locksmith. That makes sense, since safes are designed to be very difficult to open. So his progress with this material has been much slower, but we've set goals to help him finish later this month.

Please pray for Len, as his Youtube channel was permanently shut down. Youtube has permanently shut down his channel. They falsely claim he either severely or repeated violated their policies prohibiting spam, scams, and deceptive activities, and that the channel has been shut down to "protect the community". His channel "Lion of the Cross" was never even monetized and he never asked for money. He was not scamming, spamming, or deceiving anyone. The cancellation notice states that Len will be permanently unable to create another channel. Look at the most recent video upload at this non-Youtube link.

Obviously the enemy got very scared of all the worship videos and podcasts Len was posting on Youtube, and found it to be a threat to his kingdom of darkness. Now not only all the worship videos, but all his gospel podcasts, and other biblical content like his book, A Willing Heart to Please the Father, are all unavailable to the public. And all the blog posts that he has created that have links to those videos now have invalid links where a message is posted that the Youtube channel where the video is posted has been permanently terminated. Would you please pray that Len's appeal of this termination would result in their decision being reversed and his channel restored?

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its tenth year, we'd like to update you on the amazing 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.

Our ongoing Phase III ministry collaboration with three of our graduates in South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, is documented at the links below:

The following is our best attempt at a condensed version of the many praise reports.

Uganda Highlights

Our brother Grace in Uganda, who has now planted fourteen new fellowships there and one prayer altar, has seen the Lord doing amazing things. He continues to provide oversight and conduct leadership development with the elders. Here are some excerpts from his updates and testimony: 

"My beloved brother Len, 

Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. We thank God for His grace upon us, and to share with you the wonderful things God does in the locations below:

"We are experiencing heavy rains in some locations and movement is so challenging. I thank God for the salvations, healings and deliverances I have witnessed this week. Many people have come asking for prayer having watched our prayer life wherever we go! This has brought us close to many people and as a result people are coming to the Lord!

"Acida: Public reading of the Scriptures is going on and discipleship. It's a growing fellowship Scripturally and prayerfully. Public reading of the Scriptures is consistent with bro Moses.

"A lady called Catherine was delivered from Satanism. My wife carried out counseling, she revealed how much she was involved in satanic activities, witchcraft moving from marriage to marriage. Her relatives disowned her. We came in touch with her at the point where she was too sick, and said she had headache since her childhood. We led her to confession, received the Lord, I called on the Holy Fire of God; she got healed and was delivered completely. Glory to God!

"Alitimon: We thank God for what He is doing through the fellowship, there is increase in numbers. Leadership development was conducted with Bro Peter and Joseph, who are carrying out prayer and fasting; with public reading of the Scriptures and discipleship. Bro Peter, has a challenge of pain of the legs. Prayers needed for him.

"Awawal: This location is experiencing God's move, as evangelism, discipleship is regularly carried out with bro Vincent carrying out public reading of the Scriptures with the testimony of a simple fellowship gaining knowledge of the Word.  He had a serious case of malaria,  but is well now, and grateful for the prayers. We had leadership development with him, and we had deliverance prayer for his daughter who had been sick for some years, associated with demonic attack; and that distracted her education. We thank God she is totally delivered. We had leadership development with bro Vincent. 

"Ongole: The fellowship is progressing, public reading of the Scriptures going on, discipleship is consistent. The fellowship is prevailing amidst spiritual resistance…We thank God for the salvation of souls here recently. We also thank God Petelina who was sick has greatly improved. 

"Nakatunya: We thank God for the program of evangelism, deliverance, conducted by brother Boniface and the team. He is busy reaching out to the neighborhood with the saints, discipleship. They have been reaching out and encountered much of Catholism.  The fellowship is gaining root, carrying out prayer and fasting and deliverance. 

"Otucopi: Leadership development with bro Charles was a huge help to him! He and the Lord's Church are enjoying coming together for public reading of the Scriptures and discipleship, as he continues to progress with that. We also saw God's hand in healing and deliverance from demonic oppression. 

"Awoja: Brother Julius has been attending to his wife, sis Rose in the hospital, no update provided [regarding the colon mass]. It's really a major shaking! I called a few Christians to continue fellowshipping and reading the Bible despite the trials faced by bro Julius and sis Rose. She is sounding strong in the Lord, but needs more prayers to recover. 

"Mbale: Bro Davis is conducting evangelism with the saints, multiplication taking place; as they are witnessing to their neighborhood with appointments to follow up. He is also conducting public reading of the Scriptures, discipleship. The fellowship is reported to be surviving with women praying for the deliverance of their families from drunkenness by some husbands. 

"Celtel: This fellowship is growing steadily, discipleship and public reading of the Scriptures observed through bro Yokolamu and Peter with testimonies of the Christians developing a desire for God's Word. Leadership development with bro Yokolamu was conducted. As we evangelized, around 4 people gave their lives to the Lord. Brother Yokolamu's mother passed on to glory on Monday and was buried on Wednesday. It was all glorious. She just slept, according to her sons. 

"Kampala: I traveled and had time with bro Francis, blessed to have leadership development; carried out counseling and deliverance. Brother Francis is focused on the Lord's work as led by the Lord, not mindful of what happened to his marriage! He is reading the Scriptures publicly, with discipleship ongoing.

"Amen B: We have had a good time sharing in discipleship and evangelism experience, together with bro Lawrence and William conducting leadership development for them. They are publicly reading the Scriptures. They also conducted prayer and fasting, as well as deliverance. 

"Ginnery: Brother Amos was with us for leadership development. He is gaining leadership experience. We also had discipleship, as public reading of the Scriptures is going on normally. As a result, bro Amos reports there is enlightenment in the Word of the Christians. He is thankful to God for thirst of the Word especially by the youths and children! They have prayer of intercession in the evenings. We also had the neighbors calling us for prayer in their homes after watching our prayer life in the area. This is happening in most of the locations we travel. God is healing and delivering people from witchcraft. 

"Oderai: Bro Tom is holding intercession with the brethren for the ministry always. There is discipleship ongoing. One of our brothers, Robert lost his motorcycle to thugs, he needs prayers to recover it.

"God's grace be with your spirit forever 

"Brother Grace." 

There is more to praise God for that is not included here for the sake of brevity. Please continue to pray for the ongoing work that brother Grace and his team are doing in Uganda, as well as the specific requests he mentioned. 

Nigeria Highlights

Brother John in Nigeria shared with us about the amazing things God is doing there through his ministry efforts across the nine active fellowships that he has planted with his team. He continues to provide oversight and conduct leadership development with the elders. Here are some excerpts from his recent updates on the health of the churches:

"Dear brother Len,

"We give thanks to the Lord for His continued faithfulness across the various fellowship centres. Despite the different challenges faced in each location, we continue to witness God's grace at work as believers grow in their walk with Christ and remain committed to the mission of making disciples. The fellowships continue to make progress in discipleship, LTG, evangelism, spiritual growth, and leadership development.

"Leadership Development: Leadership development remains a major priority across the ministry. We are grateful for the leadership training materials provided by Brother Len, which have been a valuable resource in equipping both current and prospective leaders. The training is strengthening biblical understanding, servant leadership, discipleship, pastoral care, and practical ministry skills, such as member follow-up, evangelism, and effective coordination of Life Transformation Groups (LTGs). The sessions have continued to strengthen existing leaders while preparing emerging leaders for greater ministry responsibilities.

"Daily Scripture Reading: Public Scripture reading continues across the fellowship centres. This is particularly valuable to members who are unable to read, ensuring that they have regular access to God's Word and continue to grow in the knowledge and truth of God's Word.

"Prison Fellowship: The prison ministry remains one of the most encouraging aspects of the work. The Lord continues to work powerfully and to transform lives within the prison fellowship through testimonies of repentance, restoration, and renewed commitment to Christ. Leadership mentoring among committed inmates has remained a priority, preparing responsible believers to provide spiritual guidance and encouragement to others within the correctional facility. The fellowship provides consistent biblical teaching, discipleship, and encouragement to those seeking to grow in their faith.

"Liberty Road (Urban Centre): The fellowship remains spiritually healthy and vibrant, with good participation in discipleship, fellowship, and evangelistic outreach. Members remain committed to regular worship and kingdom service. 

"Ohong Fellowship: A strong spirit of unity, cooperation, and commitment continues to characterize the fellowship. Members remain actively engaged in ministry activities, and faithful in gathering together for worship, prayer, and Bible study, creating an atmosphere that encourages spiritual maturity and mutual support. Meanwhile leadership training has further strengthened coordination and effective pastoral oversight within the fellowship, as well as improved organization and teamwork.

"Betukwel: The fellowship continues to experience encouraging growth, with new believers being effectively welcomed, discipled, and successfully integrated into the fellowship, while existing members are growing in spiritual maturity. Continuous leadership development has further equipped local leaders to provide effective pastoral care, nurture members, and maintain healthy spiritual growth.

"Kakum Fellowship: The fellowship remains active and spiritually vibrant, with members faithfully participating in prayer, Bible study, evangelism, and discipleship. Leadership training has continued to improve ministry coordination and enhance the effectiveness of fellowship workers. Their commitment to the Lord has contributed to a healthy and growing fellowship.

"Ukwel Obudu: The work in Ukwel Obudu continues to advance steadily. The fellowship has maintained a steady pace of development with improved participation in prayer meetings, Bible study, and discipleship activities, as believers continue to grow in these areas. The fellowship remains united…making encouraging progress. gradually becoming stronger as members grow in their understanding of God's Word. Regular, ongoing leadership development meetings are helping to build confidence and effectiveness among local fellowship leaders. 

"Obudu fellowship: Regarding the fellowship that meets in my house, the fellowship is doing well, and we are grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness. We continue to meet, fellowship together, study the Word, pray, and encourage one another in the Lord. The work is progressing positively, and we are trusting God for greater growth and stability. Please continue to keep the fellowship in your prayers.

"Atiekpe Community: The fellowship at Atiekpe continues to become more established. Members are gathering consistently, and participation remains encouraging. The LTG ministry is functioning well and continues to contribute to the spiritual development of those attending. Leadership training sessions are helping to establish a stronger foundation for sustainable growth as the fellowship continues to mature. Brother Stephen Adung has been placed in oversight of this new fellowship.

"Bebuabong: Consistent pastoral visitation and intentional follow-up have contributed to improved stability within the fellowship. The fellowship is gradually becoming more stable as believers respond well to discipleship and pastoral care. Leadership training remains ongoing, providing encouragement and direction to those serving in various responsibilities.  New believers are being warmly received and carefully discipled, while existing members continue to mature spiritually. The fellowship remains united and committed to advancing the Lord's work.

"Karu: Cocoa farming continues to affect attendance as members spend considerable time on their farms. However, regular visitation and encouragement are helping to maintain the fellowship. Nevertheless, the fellowship remains active, and continuous visitation and encouragement are helping members remain connected and committed despite these seasonal demands. Leaders continue to receive training and are intensifying their efforts.

"Grace and peace to you, your family, and the entire ministry. We are sincerely grateful to the Lord for His sustaining grace and for the continued prayers, encouragement, and support that make this ministry possible. We remain committed to preaching the Gospel, making disciples, and strengthening each fellowship as we trust God for continued spiritual growth, transformed lives, and the establishment of Christ-centred communities. 

"Bro John"

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, so let's pray he is able to do so.  

South Sudan Highlights 

Brother Henry in South Sudan continues to provide oversight over all four churches and five prayer altars that he has established, as well as conduct leadership development with the elders. He provided the following encouraging updates:

"Dear bro Len,

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

I thank God the country is now normalizing, because the routes which were blocked after the incidence of the national security headquarters getting burnt down, are now being opened. So I believe God that everything will be okay by next week.

However this has not affected our ministry. We are doing what the Lord has assigned is to do. As I communicated earlier about our prayer and fasting, we started from the beginning of August. And we shall finish by the end of the month. God has given us grace. Below is the weekly update at the fellowships and prayer altars.

"Juba. To God be the glory for the great work He is doing in Juba. There's great revival in Juba through the Lord's Church. The fellowship in Juba is growing in numbers so mightily. God is increasing us every day. People come and give their lives to Jesus. Healing, deliverance is taking place. The discpleship classes are going on well. We were able to give a few Bibles to those who were lacking. I have witnessed spiritual growth, because I see those who were not able to pray able now. I am seeing a great increase in the inward desire for God. The Holy Spirit has led us to enter into prayers and fasting. I have seen a great impact in people's zeal to serve the Lord ever since the fasting begun. LTG Compliance is 100%.

"Yambio. God is doing a great work in Yambio. People are giving their lives to Jesus. I have also seen children coming to the church, and then their parents follow them after. So I thank God the numbers are increasing. This fellowship is also growing, by the grace of God. I emphasized the issue of reading the Bible to the illiterates on daily basis, and now some people who didn't go to school are now joining the church, because of this. 

"We thank God for the grace He has given to us. Among those who gave their lives to Jesus Christ is a Mundari (a small Nilotic ethnic group in South Sudan known for their deeply cattle-centric culture and traditional way of life), and he is really committed to attending the discipleship classes, which are going on well. What I have discovered is there's a spirit of premature death in Yambio. Youths die at a very young age. I have started battling that spirit in prayers…Now I don't hear about it any more. I give glory to God. It's time we pray for Yambio. Most of the fellowships are in prayers, and fasting including Yambio. LTG Compliance is 96%.

"There's a sister by the name Rose, whose mother was terribly sick. She received my number from someone who attended our harvest crusade of last year. She called me and told me everything that is taking place, then I believed God in prayers on the phone. And the same week she called that the mother is well. Alleluia. I preached to Rose and I led her into salvation. She has now fully committed herself to the discipleship classes in Yambio. 

"Check point. The altar is doing well by the grace of God. The move of God was great. I have witnessed serious deliverance among those who come for the altar prayers. A good number surrendered their lives to Jesus. There's a gentleman who has been criticizing the prayers. He could come and make noise from the time we started that Altar. There's someone who told me that when he sees that we are going to have the Altar prayers, this is when he could go and take alcohol excessive to disrupt and draw people's attention. But this time around, I decided to enter into deep prayers and attacking the demon atmosphere around, then I just saw him getting delivered. And after his deliverance, he surrendered his life to Jesus. Now his life has changed. I give God all the glory. 

"Rokon. I give glory to God because the fellowship is doing well. There's great revival in Rokon. I have witnessed great changes. The number of the people who are giving their lives to Jesus Christ has increased. Bro Max is now serving God with all his heart. He is more committed to serve than the way he was before the accident. New souls are coming to Jesus. God is good because now the area is peaceful. The area had faced a lot of challenges in the past, but now I thank God peace has been restored. Now people are praising their God freely. One family accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior after they saw one of their sister delivered from evil spirits. 

"Wau. By the grace of God…people are surrendering their lives to Jesus. I give God all the glory for answering our prayers. The security issues in Wau have been resolved, and now roads are passable. We also give God praise because regardless of what has happened, the fellowship still stands strong. 

"Bor. The altar is doing well by the grace of God. I see people giving their lives to Jesus.  By the grace of God the altar has increased. I am happy because the people are starting to enjoy the LTG system of disciple multiplication. 

"Gorom. I give God glory because now the number of people attending the prayer meetings is growing… even though it has just started. The spirit of religion is very strong there, but we are weakening it by the grace of God. I thank God for Gorom because it's picking up faster. The [redacted for security reasons] are many in this area. But I read the article which talks about how we can introduce Jesus Christ to a [redacted for security reasons] community. And it's the same knowledge we are applying by the grace of God, and I see many coming to Jesus without much exchange of words. We preach to them in love and they are touched. People surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

"Lok Luri. By the grace of God, the Altar is doing well. It's numbers are increasing. New people are receiving salvation. Many souls have been rescued. This week I saw people being baptized by the Holy Spirit.

"Moriok is going on well. God is doing great and mighty things. I am seeing it turning into a fellowship with time by the grace of God, because now the number of people is increasing every day, and there's much consistency in attendance. And these are people were not fellowshipping anywhere. Those who came possessed received their deliverance…and healing. Testimonies of people getting delivered from demonic attacks. More people are receiving salvation. I have also seen that those who joined the altar first, have now greatly learnt how to pray. 

"Those who lost hope in life come to the altar and receive hope through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There's a lady by the name Rose who came when she is full of tears. She was just talking about problems, and saying she was tired of living. But after I preached the word, then she was touched and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and savior. I then prayed for her. The second visit I found her very strong and encouraging others who had come hopeless. I give glory to God. LTG Compliance is 99%.

"Wau. The area is now on fire for the gospel. Many people have accepted Jesus Christ in the area. I thank God that people who were not praying are now taking prayers very seriously. One lady gave a testimony about how she heard a voice telling her to support a certain woman who had nothing, and she was also having something very small for her transport. But after releasing what she had, immediately God sent her classmate who came and offered her transport in her car without paying for anything. I now see the relationship people have with the Holy Spirit is going to another level. 

"I remain grateful to you, bro Len, for the great work that you are doing in my life. I pray that may God always be on your side, that you witness victory in everything that you do in Jesus name. May God richly reward you in Jesus' mighty name.

"Your servant,

Bro Henry."

Praise the Lord for what He is doing through brother Henry. We give God all the glory.
