REVIVAL CONFERENCE IN GREAT LAKES COUNTRIES 2009 PROGRAM

Hi Everyone

The attached email from Rev Charles in Burundi I read with great EXCITEMENT and ANTICIPATION to what the Lord is going to do here in central Africa. Leaders are being aligned for a great task you can see how we are at a brink of another SPIRITUAL title wave. A title wave of God’s love and righteousness seeking his people’s WORSHIP.

Diane and I are even more committed to go and serve God’s plan in the Great Lakes region. I have to go visit Ps Charles possibly in October to finalise some of our relocation arrangements and will use this time to also start planning the GLLConf2009. Please partner with us in prayer for the following:

Please pray:
1. Great Lakes Leaders Conference 2009 – Logistics, finance, partnerships and speakers.
2. For God’s program and dates, He knows best which time we should embark
3. Fire of the Holy Spirit to fall for purpose to advance the Kingdom of God
4. For the health of all the pastors and families involved with this conference.

Blessings
Anton

Ministry Launch @ Liberty....

24th August Discovery Campus
14th September Ranburg Campus

During the end of 2005 God started speaking to us about going and the instruction was to take a trip to the DRC. In 2006 we travelled with Ps Theo Burakeye to Rwanda, Burundi and DRC. We met Rev Charles Nduwumukama in Burundi in a town called Gitega, we realised later that this was the man of peace which Luke 10:6 speak about. God has raised this pastor up about 5 years ago under the ministry of Ps Theo.

Ps Charles started his ministry preaching to his own people, of which some are now serving in his 2000 strong congregation. He has a vision to reach the leaders in Burundi, and has a strong justice ministry to the orphans and widows through education, skills development and job creation projects. He is the modern day pastor to the Nation.

Before we left for Burundi in Oct 2007, God revealed to us that we were going to serve Pastors and churches in Burundi, DRC then eventually in Tanzania. Rev Charles, Diane and I share the same vision and passion for the Kingdom. We now have an open invitation to come and serve with Rev Charles in Burundi at his church. We have accepted the call to go.

What will we go and do? Our guiding scriptures: 2 Tim 2:2 in order to entrust the knowledge of God to men who will be qualified to teach others. The church is growing at leaps and bounds in central Africa, but the pastors and leaders do not have a great depth in the knowledge of God and the church is suffering as a result. Hosea 4:6 says that “my people perish due to a lack of knowledge”.

Where will you be based? We will go and setup a base in Burundi in a town called Gitega. Our time line to relocate to Burundi is Jan 2009. Any passengers?

Anton
