October Update -- 2023

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: Christopher has continued to apply for IT jobs online, but hasn't found anything yet after four months of trying. He has also applied for jobs outside his field to help him get some experience in customer service while he continues looking for employment. We continue to pray and believe God to provide him with a well-paying job in his field.

Meanwhile, Joseph is back in home school for his eighth grade. The girls are continuing to work at their jobs.

Jennifer, whose birthday is this weekend, and who has now been homeschooling our children for nearly twenty years, is continuing to teach Joseph, as usual, except that now, he is the only student remaining under her instruction. Please join us in praying for a very happy birthday for her this weekend.

Coincidentally, her birthday also marks the fifteenth year to the day since we arrived in Hungary. It has already been ten years since we returned to the States from the mission field.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eighth 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 five nations including Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.

Len received the following testimony in September from one of our newest students in Kenya, named Mwendwa: 

Hello brother Len

I’ve had a burden to evangelize more, and conviction from the Lord. Three weeks ago, I approached two brothers in...church, and asked if we can do evangelism. They were eager. Today we had our first few hours of evangelism, and two souls gave their lives to Jesus. We got to witness to several more, whom we will pray for. My desire is to evangelize more as a way of life. God willing, we plan to train others and spread the fire of evangelism in the church as it is quite cold in many ways.

I've been able to share with the youth ministry, as the youth pastor asked me to share on a topic to help disciple them. Also I notice a greater discipline in my Bible study, because I know I am accountable to everyone in the school, and the same with prayer as well...The articles give me a greater reverence for God, a desire to be purely heavenly-minded, and a true disciple of the Lord Jesus to make heaven."

Praise the Lord!

Len received the following testimony from brother John in Nigeria, who is one of our DTS graduates and our Facilitator for that country: 

"DTS is a transformative [school] for those truly committed to following the Master diligently. I am someone who has experienced God's immense mercy, especially when He guided me to connect with DTS during a period of spiritual wilderness. It was like a spiritual journey, and God's love for me was evident, as He helped elevate my faith from being an ordinary Christian to becoming a disciple of our Lord Jesus through my training at DTS. Throughout my life, DTS has been a school that has taught me the essential principles of walking and working in the light of God. I have learned the importance of preaching to myself before preaching to others, as DTS has instilled in me a sense of accountability in the life of a believer. 

Brother John."

Praise the Lord! In addition to serving as our Facilitator for Nigeria, brother John also has a ministry of his own as a pastor for a church, as well as another one he founded called Tabernacle Light. He goes out into the marketplace with his PA system, evangelizing, preaching the Word, and showing videos with his portable projector.

Len received the following note from sister Catherine in England, who is one of our students there:

"Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer. 

All I have had this week is my dream about my cousin Jane, and the message to tell Churches to be ready for the rapture to meet our Lord, because anytime during the coming year He will come, and many will be left behind if they are not ready. 

And so far many Churches are not ready. This is so serious, as when the tribulation comes it will be terrible, as you know; and Christians that are left will be tortured and killed. Everyday we are getting closer. 

I am praying for you and Jennifer and all of you. Bless you all!

With love in Jesus Christ our Lord,

Sis Catherine"

Praise the Lord! Time is definitely short. While no man knows the day or the hour (Mt 24:36), the Lord said we must know how to interpret the signs of the times (Mt 16:2-3; 24:32-33), which are currently indicating His return is near. We all need to be ready and stay ready (Mt 24:42, 44), so that day will not catch any of us by surprise.  

More DTS Testimonies

In October, Len received the following praise report from brother Grace, who is one of our graduates in Uganda and our National Facilitator there:

"Dear brother Len, 

I thank you for the good work you are doing by God's grace!

Since I joined the DTS and graduated, my knowledge of the Word has greatly improved! Whenever I read the Bible I get revelation of it and my ministering is by the power of the Holy Spirit; 

More healing and deliverance is taking place; glory to God!

Thank you,

Your brother, Grace." 

Praise the Lord! To God be all the glory.

Ministries of DTS Graduates

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in October to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also, as it contains some excellent articles you won't find anywhere else. 

Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above may have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.

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 amazing testimonies of God's work in the lives of our students.
2. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
3. 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 bless Jennifer with a happy birthday this weekend.
2. For the Lord to help Christopher to find an excellent, good-paying job in the IT field.
3. For the Lord to provide for all the needs of our DTS students.
4. 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. 
5. For the Lord to help all of our DTS students to find LTG partners (another Christian to meet with weekly for discipleship in a Life Transformation Group).
6. For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

September Update -- 2023

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 September, Len traveled to New Hampshire by plane for the burial of one of his sisters. He spent three days and three nights there at the home of a brother in Christ. At the burial and reception, he was reunited with his sisters and many other relatives whom he hadn't seen for years. Praise the Lord for His protection from accidents during the trip, as there were a few close calls, but He had His angels around us keeping us all safe.

Christopher continues to apply for positions that he is qualified for, but still has not been offered a job. It has been very quiet. Searching for a job these days is mostly an online experience, unlike in the past when it used to involve going to businesses, applying within, and then following up in person. Many of these jobs he applies for online do not even reply to him, and there is no way to follow up with them after he sends in his resume with a cover letter. So all he can do is continue to apply for more positions as we all continue to pray.

Meanwhile, Christopher has been serving as technical support lead for our ministry, helping us here in the States, as well as helping out students overseas. He's also been serving as National Facilitator for Kenya.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eighth 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 five nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.

We have a new student in Uganda, named Maureen that has recently enrolled in our DTS after brother Grace, one of our graduates there, who's a pastor, talked with her about the school and invited her to apply for enrollment. 

She indicated on her enrollment application, "I want to enroll for the course because I have a gift to serve God. I want to serve God with the full understanding of His Word, [especially] in these last days."

Praise the Lord for bringing her into our midst, so that we can disciple her. We welcome her and look forward to serving her over the next three years of our journey together with her. 

Brother Henry in South Sudan, who is one of our students there, sent us this testimony in September, after he finished studying Angelic Encounters as part of our DTS course called Angelology II:

"Brother Len,

This subject sounds too real. When I went through reading all the testimonies in this chapter, I [realized that] I also had [once] experienced the same. In 2021, when I was coming from the field for the work of God, I was in the vehicle alone. The vehicle lost control, overturned three times, and hit electric poles, plus the transformer fell on the vehicle. The whole vehicle was crushed, but I was inside alive. I didn't even have any scars, and everyone around thought I was dead, but I was okay and not feeling any pain. I believe this was an angelic encounter. 

Glory be to God.

My best regards,

Bro Henry."

Praise the Lord for our brother's amazing testimony of a miraculous escape from a serious accident that could have ended his life. It certainly seems like the Lord had his angels around brother Henry to protect him.

We would like to share a praise report regarding sister Catherine, one of our DTS students in England, who was recently interviewed in her home on God TV, Randy Kay, and Fishers of Men (Halifax), in order to share her testimony. She wrote to us in September:

"Dear broth Len and sis Jennifer,

Last week at a Church meeting, a new lady came to our Church, Sarah, and I gave her my testimony. She got saved, as we prayed the prayer of salvation. Now she wants to get baptized which is wonderful. Thank and praise our Lord.

Then this week I had a dream about being at church and teaching the Second Chapter of Acts. Jesus came and said, 'Tell my Church to learn and do the Second Chapter of Acts, and go out and spread the gospel, casting out demons, and healing the sick, and praying for my Church to wake up and bring  revival.' As Jesus said this, it reminded me of His message from a vision I had in December 2022  that we are running out of time to spread the gospel and save lost souls. We all have an urgent mission. So I continue to pray and work towards witnessing more to the lost.

I am praying for you all. Bless you all.

With love in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Sis Catherine"

Praise the Lord! You can read two articles about Catherine's two encounters in heaven here called Teen Dies, Enters Heaven, Meets Jesus -- Catherine's Testimony and Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven.

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in September to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also, as it contains some excellent articles you won't find anywhere else.

Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above may have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.

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 Lord's protection over Len, Jennifer, and the boys in all the travels associated with his trip to New Hampshire for his sister's burial.
2. For the opportunity sister Catherine had to share her testimony at church, and for the woman who got saved when she prayed with her.
3. For bringing sister Maureen in Uganda into our DTS.
4. For the amazing testimonies of God's work in the lives of our students.
5. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings. 
6. For the Lord's leading, guidance, wisdom, and help administering the Doulos Training School (DTS), and for the progress the students are making.

August Update -- 2023

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 August, Christopher continued to search for employment, applying for many jobs online, submitting his cover letter and resume to many employers. But so far, none have called him for an interview, except for one that asked him to send in a video of himself sharing about his qualifications. That was the Christian academy we mentioned last month. They never reached back out to him, except for an automated email he got from them when he followed up. Please remember him in prayer for employment.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eighth 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 six nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

We have a new student in Kenya, named Mwendwa, that has recently enrolled in our DTS after discovering us through Len's articles online that she had been reading. 

She recently came back to the Lord, following nine years of backsliding in sin after she initially came to the Lord in 2002. Although she spent years in bondage and the New Age, even coaching others in that deception, the Lord has been merciful to her and faithful to bring her back to Himself through repentance and faith in Christ. 

She says regarding her reason for enrolling: "I desire to grow as a true disciple of Jesus, gain a deeper understanding of correct Christian doctrine, have a living and holy relationship with Jesus that truly makes me a light of the world and also to be able to use my gifts to be a faithful servant and win souls for Jesus." 

Praise the Lord for bringing her back to Himself and bringing her into our midst, so that we can disciple her. We look forward to serving her over the next three years of our journey together with her. Please take a moment to read her abbreviated testimony called Delivered from Bondage and New Age Deception.

Brother Max in Uganda, who is one of our students there, sent us this testimony in August:

"Praise king Jesus! I'm grateful for what God is doing in my Life and family through DTS. 

I am encouraged to serve the Lord and to always take responsibility and be accountable to my group members and pray for souls as well as sharing the love of Jesus with people. 

We are also thanking God for giving us victory in baptizing two people in this month. 

Lastly I would like to testify of God's continuous provision. I give him all the glory.

God blessings be upon us all."

We give God the glory for what He's doing in brother Max's life including the two people he baptized into Christ this month.

We would like to share a praise report regarding sister Catherine, one of our DTS students in England, who was recently interviewed in her home on God TV, in order to share her testimony. She wrote to us in August:

"Dear brother Len and sis Jennifer,

"Time is running out to witness before the Lord raptures the Church, so I have been fasting and praying about witnessing more and for the Churches and for revival. I have had a greater urgency to witness to the lost. Our Lord helped me to present my testimony with Randy Kay on Youtube, then a few months later the ‘God TV’ crew came to make a video of an interview of my testimony, [for] broadcast in September. Then I was invited to a Church in Halifax, and gave my testimony, [after which] three young people got saved. Thank and praise our Lord. The Halifax Church invited me to help them with street evangelism, which I’ve begun doing. So our Lord has answered my prayers and I continue to obey our Lord to witness.

With love in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sis Catherine"

Praise the Lord! In a follow up email from her just as this newsletter was being published, she said regarding her trip to Halifax, "We went street witnessing on Saturday (Aug 12th), and some people got saved. Sunday we went to Dewsbury Gospel Church [10 miles east of Halifax], and I gave my testimony just before the minister gave his sermon." You can read two articles about Catherine's two encounters in heaven here called Teen Dies, Enters Heaven, Meets Jesus -- Catherine's Testimony and Catherine Hughes' Second Encounter in Heaven.

More DTS Testimonies

We would also like to welcome back sister Dorcas in South Africa, who originally enrolled in the DTS in December 2020, but has been out of the school for nearly a year and a half.

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in August to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.

Partnership Opportunity: If the Lord is leading you to financially support this important ministry, which is impacting the lives of so many people for Christ around the world by the grace of God, your cheerful obedience to Him would be greatly appreciated. Our partners are a vital part of what we're doing, and we'd love for you to be one of them!

Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above may have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.

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 opportunity sister Catherine has to share her testimony publicly on Fishers of Men in Halifax, England
2. For bringing sister Mwendwa in Kenya back to Himself and into our DTS.
3. For bringing sister Dorcas back into the school.
4. For the amazing testimonies of God's work in the lives of our students.
5. For the opportunity to assist each of our students in becoming disciples of Christ and fulfilling their callings.

July Update -- 2023

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 July, Christopher continued to search for employment, applying for many jobs online, submitting his cover letter and resume to many employers. But so far none have called him for an interview.

One job he applied for seems like it would be perfect for him. It's a Support Desk Administrator position with a Christian Academy, in which he would be working remotely from home. They want someone who loves Jesus, loves children, and loves to solve problems. The website indicated that around 351 other people also applied for the position. Please pray that he gets the job.

We mentioned last month that the girls -- Faith, Hope, and Charity -- recently moved into their own apartment, and have a need for various furniture items. The Lord provided them with an old, wooden dining room set that was in decent condition, which Len and Christopher picked up for them and delivered to their place in a truck. Please pray that the Lord will provide all the furniture they need.

Jennifer got called up for jury duty, but when she reported for duty, they released her without requiring her to serve, which was an answer to prayer. Joseph also completed his scholastic achievement tests at the end of the school year, and is currently enjoying summer break from school.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eighth 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 five nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.

One of our DTS students in Uganda, sister Christine, has recently completed her three-year training with us. She was an excellent student throughout her training. She would always submit an in-depth, well-written document containing all of her lessons learned for each of the courses she completed each quarter, as well as the highlights she enjoyed the most. 

She also maintained her weekly LTG discipleship meetings, while also participating actively in her local church. And one thing that made it all especially challenging for her was that she works in another city a long distance from where she lives. So she has to commute to work at the beginning of each week, remain throughout the week in the location where she works, and then commute back home for the weekend. 

When she enrolled in the DTS in June 2020, she stated, "I want to enroll...so that I can get to know God more, walk with Him always, and learn how to make Him known to other people effectively." When she was asked in June, after completing all of her coursework, whether she reached her goal, she stated: 

"Yes I have met my goal through DTS. Through DTS training I have learnt a lot about God, about man, and what is expected of me as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Further my knowledge of God has increased. I do not boast in this knowledge, but my prayer is that I remain focused, my eyes forever fixed unto the Lord Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our salvation. 

Moreover, I have been taught what the life of a servant of God should be, and how to make God known in the right way; and not be silent, but declare the gospel of the Lord Jesus without fear. Sincerely I can say that DTS exceeded my expectations, in terms of the personal goals I had hoped to achieve through it. Glory be to God Almighty.

God's blessings rest upon you all. Thank you."

Praise the Lord! To God be all the glory.  We held her graduation ceremony by conference call on July 14th, and the Lord truly blessed us with His presence. Her husband was present, and her pastor, who presented her DTS diploma to her, as well as her DTS transcript, both of which Len sent to him in advance for printing. They laid hands on her and prayed for her, as we all prayed for her also.

In July, Len received the following testimony from brother Henry in South Sudan, who is one of our DTS students there and a pastor:

"Dear bro Len,

I am so grateful to God for one woman who accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and savior during our door to door evangelism and her zeal for Christ is extraordinary.

Yours faithfully,

Bro Henry."

Hallelujah! We share in his excitement and gratitude for this one sinner who repented. There is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent. This woman is that one lost sheep who was found, and another one of satan's former captives who has now been set free.

More DTS Testimonies

In July, Len received the following testimony from one of our graduates in Kenya, brother Ibrahim, who received a scholarship to study Data Science for fourteen months:

"Dear Brother Len,

During the last month (June) I received a call for an interview from DanChurchAid Kenya which I participated in. The HR informed me that there would be two more (written and oral) if I happen to pass the first. Within 3 days I received an email to attend the oral interview which I did, and the HR informed me that they had cancelled the second one. On the same day I was requested to avail my references and within a week I got the internship opportunity as a Data Analysis and Reporting Assistant Intern for one year. And beginning the third week of internship, we traveled from Nairobi to Eldoret, and for the first time in life, I boarded a plane. This is what The Lord has done for me, brother Len. 

Always thank you for keeping me in prayers.

Yours in Christ,

Ibrahim Ambale." 

Praise the Lord! Surely the Lord has done great things for brother Ibrahim, and we rejoice with him. Please pray that he will do well on all his exams and complete his training successfully.

We would like to share a praise report regarding sister Catherine, one of our DTS students in England, who will soon be interviewed on God TV, in order to share her testimony. She wrote to us in July:

"Dear brother Len and sis Jennifer,

I have now finished the five Fire books in the amazing DTS. I found the stories of going to hell really got to me a lot. They made me think of the seriousness of our sins every day, to repent more and more, to keep our Lord's Commandments… to strive to be more obedient every day, to draw closer with our Lord, to pray without ceasing, and to witness at every opportunity with great urgency.

The stories of visits to Heaven gave me a lot of encouragement, and they helped me to realise how much our Lord loves us so much, which is so amazing, because growing up I never knew any love until I met Jesus face to face.

I strongly recommend all Christians to read the 5 Fire Books. They have changed my life and brought me much closer to our Lord. 

The [folks from] God TV are coming with their cameras to interview me about my testimony on Wednesday 19th July 2023. So this witness will be on TV soon.

With love in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Sis Catherine."

Praise the Lord!

Brother Max in Uganda, who is one of our students there, sent us this testimony in July:

"Praise be to Jesus, dear brother Len. Thanks for always serving us. It's my prayer that God will preserve you and your family. 

I testify of God's provision for me and my family including the grace to balance between my concurrent studies. l am reading a lot, which is [made possible by the] grace given by God for me to do so.

Secondly, through my LTG group meeting I testify of the fact that my personal life has changed as the five accountability questions help to shape my life. My relationship with the Holy Spirit has moved my hearing of God's voice to a better level, being mindful of others [besides] myself. I can clearly see [the difference from how I was] before I joined DTS. 

Thank you for all you are doing to the glory of God."

Brother Martin, one of our DTS students in Uganda, who is also a pastor, sent us the following praise report in July, during his extended trip to his homeland in South Sudan:

"Hello brother Len,

I greet you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

 I’m still in Juba, which is the capital of South Sudan. South Sudan is very expensive in terms of rental and feeding. However, I met new friends here in Juba, and God has opened the door for me to start door-to-door outreach to encourage people who are among the poorest of S. Sudan.  I’m really thankful to God who helped me to join DTS.

I started my LTG group last week here in Juba. Thank you. Please remember us in your prayers!

Brother Martin Kuku."

Len received the following testimony from brother Grace in Uganda, who is a pastor and one of our DTS graduates.

"Praise the Lord, brother Len, 

I thank God who is sustaining our family amid severe trials! There is every reason to step back; [but] when the trials grow severe, God  always prevails!

And again amid all these, our ministry of healing and deliverance is still going on by God's grace. I still receive calls from people seeking deliverance throughout.  Thank you, Jesus!

Bro Grace."

How wonderful to get this report from brother Grace, who is remaining grateful to God, and continuing to serve Him in the midst of fiery trials. Let's continue to remember him in our prayers, as he is truly making an impact for Christ there in Uganda, and is a great help to us, too.

Two of our students, brothers Shadrach and Stanley, are still in need of LTG partners. Please continue to pray that they will find partners.

Partnership Opportunity: If the Lord is leading you to financially support this important ministry, which is impacting the lives of so many people for Christ around the world by the grace of God, your cheerful obedience to Him would be greatly appreciated. Our partners are a vital part of what we're doing, and we'd love for you to be one of them!

Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above may have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.

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 opportunity for Joseph and Jennifer to take a break from home school studies for the summer.
2. For the way Jennifer was released from jury duty without having to serve.

7. 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.

9. For the Lord to fulfill His purposes for us and our ministry.

June Update -- 2023

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 May, we celebrated Christopher's high school commencement with worship; a formal ceremony, at which Len shared some remarks; the presenting of Christopher's diploma to him; and prayer for him. We had several guests join us to celebrate with us, who were all children from one Christian family. They also stayed afterward for the party that included sandwiches, cake, and fellowship. 

We're so pleased with the way Christopher has diligently applied himself to his studies and how the Lord has helped him to get straight A's in college, while also getting nearly perfect grades in high school. Praise the Lord!

Christopher is now seeking to find a job in IT Support. He also passed three big exams, in order to obtain his A+ certification in IT Technical Support, along with his Network+ and Security+ certifications, which are sought-after professional certifications. The exams he took in order to get these are known for being very difficult. Thank you to those who prayed for that. Please pray with us that he gets a good job in the IT field now, especially one that is either very close to home or working remotely from home.

We recently posted Christopher's salvation testimony online, which we hope you'll check out at How I Came to Know Jesus.

The girls -- Faith, Hope, and Charity -- finally moved into their own apartment in early June. They feel so blessed and are very thankful to the Lord for their new place, as they begin this new chapter in their lives. Thank you to those who prayed about that. Please pray that the Lord will provide all the furniture they need, such as a dining set and desks.

Ministry: As we continue to administer our discipleship training school (DTS), now in its eighth 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 five nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.

Len received the following testimony in June from brother Martin, one of our DTS students, who is a pastor in Uganda with a vision for taking the light of Christ to the community:

"Hello brother Len,

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I want to appreciate you for the work you are doing in bringing the bible knowledge through DTS to me and to those who are also still searching to know the true word of God.

I thank God for that. You are one of the instruments that God is using to enlighten those who are still under the bondage of false doctrine like those who have misinterpreted the word of God and refuse to accept the facts.

I thank God for allowing me to be part of your DTS as well through LTG. Glory be to God forever and ever!

Brother Martin Kuku"

Praise the Lord! To God be all the glory. Brother Martin is now in his Second Year Third Quarter, and he is serving the Lord at a refugee camp there in Uganda, reaching people for Jesus.

In June, Len received the following testimony from brother Henry in South Sudan, who is one of our DTS students there and a pastor:

"I have been conducting our LTG meetings weekly and by the grace of God our numbers have increased to now five LTG groups of three people per group, totaling fifteen members. We give all the glory to God."

Praise the Lord. That is the kind of multiplication of disciples we teach all our students to do, and it's so exciting when we see them putting it into practice in their own lives and ministries.

More DTS Testimonies

In May, Len received the following testimony from brother Tom in Uganda, who is one of our DTS students: 

"Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.

Concerning what you have written to me recently about Jesus film project, 

We have trained many Christians in discipleship and yesterday we baptized 23 new church members. Next week we shall baptized more 20 members who are still undergoing discipleship. The twenty three people we baptized were saved as a result of the film shows. Still twenty more are going to be baptized the following week.

I have so far shown [the Jesus Film] over one hundred times since I [received] the equipment. Four more churches were opened as a result of the Jesus film. Praise the Lord. 

We are going to have a mega crusade beginning Saturday next week. We hope to have several shows during the four days. We are planning to reach different camps this year.

Blessings.

Brother Tom."

Praise the Lord! Please see brother Tom's excellent testimony of the amazing miracles the Lord did through his Jesus Film Project ministry, in which he encountered intense spiritual warfare, whereby thousands were reached with the gospel and hundreds were saved. Simply follow this link for a short, but powerful testimony.

We would like to share a praise report regarding sister Catherine, who was a guest on the Randy Kay program, in which she shared her testimony, which you can watch at this link: Teen Dies and Enters Heaven After Encounter with Jesus, Angels, and others. Most of the comments on the Youtube video indicated that people around the world who watched the video were very blessed by her testimony, as well as the sweetness and joy of the Lord she exudes. We hope you will take time to listen to it. 

Just recently she was traveling in York, England, and the Lord led her to touch someone's life in a way that will probably have far-reaching, eternal consequences. While she was in a coffee shop, the Lord told her to go over and speak to a woman who was sitting there, whom she didn't know. She didn't know what she would say, but began a conversation about grandchildren, and it led to Catherine sharing part of her testimony, including how the Lord rescued her from attempted suicide. The lady was grateful for that conversation, because she had been contemplating suicide and was on her way to visit her daughter for the last time before she ended her life. But this contact with Catherine seemed to give her renewed hope, as the lady said she could feel Catherine's peace. Praise the Lord!

Brother Peter in Kenya, who is one of our DTS students there, wrote to Len recently to let us know that his home burned to ashes in a fire, and he lost everything, but escaped with his life. Thankfully he was at work on his night shift when the fire happened, so he was not in the building, but all he owned was destroyed. The Lord has since provided him another place to live, and he has slowly begun to replace some of the things he lost. We had been praying that the Lord would provide him with a better job that would not take such a toll on his health as the nighttime security guard job he has, but it turned out to be a blessing that he had that job when the fire occurred, because it may have saved his life. Please remember brother Peter in your prayers for a complete restoration of all that he lost in the fire.

Brother Grace in Uganda, who is one of our graduates and our DTS Facilitator for his country, is in need of our prayers for his wife Dina, who has been hospitalized. Please pray for her complete healing and the Lord's provision for the medical expenses.

Likewise, brother and sister Ukauwa in Nigeria recently had a baby by Cesarean section (C-section) delivery on May 27th. The baby girl, named Miracle, was miraculously delivered four weeks before she was due, in order to reduce the risk to mother and baby in this high-risk pregnancy. Praise the Lord that mother and baby are well. Please pray that the Lord would provide for their medical expenses as well.

Sister Collete in Kenya, who is one of our DTS graduates, moved out of the old, sub par apartment she's been living in for a long time and into a better apartment, but is struggling financially to pay her rent. She needs the Lord to miraculously expedite the closing of an international business deal she is facilitating, which has been delayed excessively, so that she can pay her rent at the end of June.

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in June to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.

Partnership Opportunity: If the Lord is leading you to financially support this important ministry, which is impacting the lives of so many people for Christ around the world by the grace of God, your cheerful obedience to Him would be greatly appreciated. Our partners are a vital part of what we're doing, and we'd love for you to be one of them!

Note: Some words in the recorded testimonies above may have been changed to correct the grammar and spelling, and to enhance their clarity and readability. This was done without changing the meaning.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

1. For blessing us with a wonderful celebration of Christopher's high school commencement.

3. For the Lord to provide for the medical expenses of Uchenna and Henrietta, as well as brother Grace and sister Dina.

May Update -- 2023

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 May, we celebrated Christopher's eighteenth birthday with cake, cards, gifts, and prayer for him. We also attended his college graduation ceremony at a huge coliseum here in town where he was awarded the certificate of completion for the Windows Desktop IT Support program. There were over six hundred other graduates. His high school graduation ceremony is scheduled for May 22nd, so please pray for the Lord's presence and good weather for that, so we can hold the event outdoors. 

Christopher will now be seeking to find a job in IT Support and also looking to start his own business in that field. He is also taking two big exams in order to obtain his A+ certification in IT Technical Support. Please pray with us to that end for the Lord to grant him success in all these endeavors. His first of two exams will be Monday, May 15th. 

The girls -- Faith, Hope, and Charity -- are planning and preparing to move into their own apartment in early June. Please pray that their move will go smoothly and that the Lord will help them get settled into their new place.

By the grace of God, we currently have disciples in five nations including Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, and the United Kingdom.

Len received the following testimony in April from brother Martin, one of our DTS students, who is a pastor in Uganda with a vision for taking the light of Christ to the community:

"Hello Brother Len,

“I greet you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

 

Our reproduction as disciples begins by praying for the lost people we know around us such as (family, work, neighbor’s refugees’ community at the kiryandongo refugee camp in Uganda). So each member of the LTG shares the names of two or three people he or she knows that are not saved. And all the members of the LTG agree to pray throughout the week for those people by name.

As a result of LTG outreach in this month of April we baptized 22 new believers. Check attached photos taken during the baptism.

 

Brother. Martin"

Praise the Lord for what He is doing in brother Martin's life.  Let's pray for these new believers in Christ to grow and become true disciples of the Lord Jesus.

In May, Len received the following testimony from brother Ibrahim in Kenya, who is one of our recent graduates there:

"Dear Brother Len,

I have a testimony to share. It has been long since we spoke due to the fact that I have been working on a data collection project in Nakuru and Nyandarua Counties within Kenya which ended yesterday peacefully. The assignment was extremely involved, but I [endured] the cold of Nyandarua County due to the Aberdare Ranges and finished my work well. I thank God for that. 

I would also like to share my testimony and say that I won a sponsorship to study Data Science at ALX Africa, which is a hybrid program, both online and two days weekly hub attendance being sponsored by Mastercard Foundation. It is my prayer and belief that I will be guided by the virtues I have learnt of humility and perseverance under DTS and complete this 14-month course. The congratulatory message came on 5th April, and the classes began this past week on Monday 8th May. I give all the glory and honor to the Lord. Kindly put me in your prayers as I tackle this new journey of my career and serve the Lord as I work. 

Be blessed,

Br. Ibrahim"

Praise the Lord for giving brother Ibrahim this great opportunity to further his education in a way that could help him eventually obtain better employment. We also praise the Lord that on Sunday, May 14th, he received the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. Let's pray that the Lord would help him in his studies. 

More DTS Testimonies

In May, Len received the following testimony from brother Tom in Uganda, who is one of our DTS students: 

"I salute all the brethren in the name of our Lord Jesus.

I give God all the glory for the marvelous things He has done to me personally and the entire ministry I run. It was on the 30th/April/2023 that I was ordained bishop of Doma Pentecostal Global Ministries.

Immediately after the ordination, I encountered a man who had a deadly disease called epilepsy. He had suffered for twenty-five years from this sickness. His parents had spent a lot of money in different hospitals but all in vain.

As soon as I laid my hand on him and prayed, he was delivered completely. All these long years he could not dig or do domestic chores, but now he can do everything.

Glory to this great God we serve."

Praise the Lord! We give God all the glory for this amazing healing.

In May, Len received the following testimony from sister Catherine in England, who is one of our DTS students there. She knows a sister in Christ named Gill, who was hospitalized around May 7th with a sudden case of gastroenteritis and a bad infection around her gallbladder, just as she was preparing to hold an evangelistic meeting that was scheduled for the end of May. Sister Catherine knew this was a direct attack of the enemy to try and stop the revival, so she decided to pray, and asked us to pray as well, which we gladly did.  Here was her praise report:

"Dear brother Len and sis Jennifer. 

Thank you so much for all your prayers. I have some great news. 

Gill, the evangelist has been  completely healed and the hospital have sent her home, so the conference will go ahead on 29th May, and her healing will be a witness to all the people. It's a Miracle. Our Lord is faithful and always answers prayers of his faithful people. Thank and praise our Lord. 

Thank you so much for all your prayers. I am praying for you all. 

Bless you all. With love in Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Sis Catherine"

Praise the Lord for answering the fervent prayer of faith for this evangelist.

Brother John in Uganda, who is one of our DTS students there, gave us an update in May on his long, drawn-out court battle with those who are attacking him. He said, "The file was and is still with the registrar of the High Court supposed to pass to the Judge for scheduling the day for judgment." Therefore, the judge still has not decided on the case, even though he was supposed to render his decision a month ago on April 7th.

Len also sent out the Old News That's Still Fresh in May to pastors, elders, disciples, and laborers in the harvest in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. We encourage you to read it also.

Partnership Opportunity: If the Lord is leading you to financially support this important ministry, which is impacting the lives of so many people for Christ around the world by the grace of God, your cheerful obedience to Him would be greatly appreciated.
