January Update 2017

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 December we created a new blog to publish photos of God's creation that Hope and other members of the family have taken. In light of God's Word, when we consider all the works His hands have made and Who He is, it should cause us to tremble before Him. We believe a holy shudder of awe in His presence is appropriate, and that's why we've called this blog A Shutter of Awe. We hope you will enjoy it!

More photos.    

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. Brother Christian in Trier, Germany has started an LTG discipleship group with one other brother. Praise the Lord!

We also received a wonderful testimony from one of our students, sister Claire in Mali, who returned in January from a trip to her home country of Kenya, where she spent a few weeks. She wrote:

"Dear brother Leonard,

New Year greetings to you and your family in the name of the Lord.

I just returned from my trip in Kenya  It was really awesome. God manifested His presence throughout my trip.  First I thank Him for journey mercy throughout the entire trip.

Though I was not able to do as much as I had anticipated  I return all glory to Him that within that short time, He brought alot of transformation in my family using me. Just a few to mention below.

1.  He used me to unite my brothers and sisters who some of who had not been talking to each other for a very long time.  We had a family re-union where all of us forgave each other in the love of Christ and vowed to work together.

2. One of my nephews, a young man, renewed his salvation vows and promised to lead other youth to Christ.

3. We started a bible study fellowship in one of my sister's houses every Saturday afternoon with some of my nieces and nephews.

4. I thank God for using me to minister to them about Godly attire and the true churches that preach the true gospel and not prosperity. This I did also to some of my friends.

I am not able to mention all that God did.  One thing I [did was give] all of them the Eternal Destinations blog web-site so that they can read [it] by themselves.  I once again thank God very much for the seed which is already planted.

I am forever thankful to God for using you in your writings, which enabled me to minister to others.

Remain blessed,

Sister Collete T."

Praise the Lord for crowning sister Collete's trip to Kenya with success.

"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 Identification with Christ and Abominations in the Sight of God. You may also like to visit our newest blog, A Shutter of Awe. Len's latest articles are all available at Old News That's Still Fresh - January 2017. 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 crowning sister Collete's trip to Kenya with success.
2. For helping us to establish the new blog, A Shutter of Awe. 
3. For helping brother Christian in Germany to start a discipleship group.
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, including 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
