December Update 2016

Greetings from North Carolina in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  We're pleased to share with you what the Lord has been doing in our lives and ministry.

Family: In November we celebrated Thanksgiving together. The Lord blessed us with a wonderful turkey dinner with all the fixings and a delicious pumpkin cake for dessert. We all gave thanks to the Lord for His many providential blessings that we have received.

Ministry:  As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), we'd like to update you on the good things that God is doing with it. We began a new quarter on December 1, and our two newest students started their three-year training. They are brother Christian in Trier, Germany and brother Solomon in Nairobi, Kenya.

We also received a praise report in November from another one of our DTS students named Tilia in Liberia, who wrote:

"My daughter who lives in the US and I have not been talking for 4 years. Sister Jennifer Lacroix has been praying along with me. By the Grace of God Almighty, I can now communicate with [my daughter]. To God alone be all the glory." Praise the Lord. And we've been praying she will also get custody of her daughter as well.

We continue to receive positive feedback from readers around the world, who are benefiting from this ministry.

One sister in India wrote to us in December with an email entitled in part, "You are doing great Job, you will be rewarded in heaven" She wrote in part: "Dear Len & Jennifer, Sweet Greeting from our Lord Jesus Christ & my son [name redacted] & myself...By God's appointment I flipped into your site yesterday, I thank God for He is wonderful Grace, You & Jennifer are doing great job. Keep it up, it will be highly rewarded in heaven...Since one week I was wondering & asking my Lord, how to find a genuine Bible college for my son...At one point I [myself] was also thinking to join Bible college, because I wanted  to learn about five fold ministry…Please, I need your help, can you suggest something for my son? I am looking to send him to a Bible study, no need of any degree… Just to teach him to know God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit & live in holiness...Thank you and God bless you. I am looking forward to hear from you. Yours sister in Christ. Joanita."

Len replied to her, inviting her and her son to prayerfully consider enrollment in our DTS.

After reading Len's article called, The Burning Ones, another sister commented, "Hello, I'm so blessed reading this article. I'm sure I was led to this, as it had been my heart's desire to know more about the baptism of fire. I want to know more. I hunger and thirst for more. I want to be a living sacrifice to God. I desire this, especially for the young children. I would appreciate if you get in touch. Thank you."

"Lord, You establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished You have done for us." (Is 26:12)

Resources:  This month we would like to suggest some articles Len has recently written called Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, A Tale of Two Kings, The Nature of False Prophets, and Unbroken Communion with God. Len's latest articles are all available at Old News That's Still Fresh - December 2016. His entire collection of his most popular blogs are at Writing for the Master.

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 the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner we enjoyed as a family. 
2. For the answer to prayer for Tilia in Liberia who is now in contact with her daughter in the US.
3. For the encouragement received from Joanna in India, and the way the Lord has blessed her..
4. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
5. For the Lord's leading, guidance, and help administering the Doulos Training School (DTS), and for the progress the students are making.
6. For the lives being touched for Christ around the world through our writing ministry.
7. For the words of encouragement we have received from the people being touched. 

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to assist us with the administration of the Doulos Training School (DTS), as well as develop through it many disciples who multiply disciples. 
2. For the Lord to help all of our DTS students to find LTG partners.
3. For the Lord to water the seeds we have planted and bring conviction for guilt with regard to sin, righteousness, and the coming judgment in the hearts of those in whom we have planted seeds in our own community, as well as those who oppose us here.
4. For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.
5. For the Lord to send His angels with Len’s written messages to those who need them, and for an open heaven over them when they receive his messages. 
6. For the Lord to heal Len from lower spine and sciatic trouble, causing chronic pain. 
7. For the Lord to move mountains to raise up new faith partners, including those who would sponsor our students, and for Him to provide for all our needs -- not only ours personally, but also those of the ministry -- as He releases a financial miracle.

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

with love from all of us,

The Lacroixs
