Meanwhile Charity has taken this opportunity with the down time to write her testimony of how she came to Christ. It's called Lifted Out of a Slimy Pit. She also wrote some poems as well called Battle of the Mind and Take Two.

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. By the grace of God, we currently have disciples in five nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and the United Arab Emirates.
As with the rest of the world, our students in Africa and the Middle East remain on lock down, too. They cannot go to work and are only allowed to go out for essentials like food and water. Pray for the Lord to take care of them, keep them safe, and provide for them.

"Good morning sir, from Nigeria,
It have not been so easy in the midst of this lockdown but I thank God for his grace and mercy upon me, it have not been easy for me to receive mails or go online since these days but I thank God because he provides for me. So I'm back online now."
Brother John in Nigeria wrote in May:
"Bro Len, I must tell you that it is not easy here with us. People are lamenting everywhere, hunger and food shortage is rising. I pray God should help us."
Brother James in Uganda wrote:
"We are highly affected by food shortage, rent of our house. Life is just very hard for us in Uganda. They have added more 2 weeks of lockdown. Thank you.
James"

"We are faced with lock down, and food is now becoming a hard thing to get, because of the little resources that we have. And if there was opportunity of support, we would cry for support financially. The lock down is still to continue, yet the government has not taken proper measures for supporting the citizens -- only 3 kilograms of beans and 5 kilograms of maize flour were given to some people, which is not enough for 3 months of lock down. I look forward to receiving any support from any willing body. Be blessed, and above all I do not forget our Lord Jesus Christ is still on the throne.
Jimmy Felex"
Brother Grace in Uganda says:
"Greetings brother Len in Jesus' Name!
My brother, since the lock down happened here, life has become too difficult for the majority, especially in urban places; no working, no salaries! Personally we have been depending on jewelry, which is no more, because customers are no more earning, some displaced. So like many others, [we are] just depending on porridge whenever we can afford [it]; we need much prayers, this is unbearable!! May the Lord remember us and all.
Blessings dear brother Len.
Grace Okurut."

Len received an email from brother Peter in Kenya saying that he is very sick at this time. Please join us in lifting up Peter for his healing.

Len wrote an article on God's purpose through this called Stay at Home and Seek the Lord, which is worth a read. In the meantime, we held a global prayer meeting on April 27th, and the Lord confirmed it supernaturally through one sister who participated. She wrote afterward about what the Lord showed her in a vision:

Len sent out his monthly edition of Old News That's Still Fresh in May to pastors, elders, and laborers in the harvest in the US, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia.
Resources: This month we would like to suggest some articles Len has recently written called Stay at Home and Seek the Lord and Lifted Out of a Slimy Pit. Len's latest articles are all available at Old News That's Still Fresh -- May 2020. His entire collection of his most popular blogs are at Writing for the Master.
