Roger
Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer for this time with our leaders from five nations who converged in Nairobi!
Brooks writes: “It’s been nothing short of miraculous! Roger and I
spent time this morning debriefing. His first question to me was, ‘What
could we have done better?’ Now, you know me, sometimes bestowed with
the gift of discernment (or extreme negativity), I’d typically have
plenty to say nit-picking things to death. But, quite honesty, there
was NOTHING to be negative about!!!! When God puts something together,
it’s just so, so right...down to the very last detail!!!”
By God's grace and your prayers, we managed to bring the right
material (especially the training on reaching Muslims which was
excellent) to the right people at the right time. It was a perfect fit
and perfect timing for our gang. They have tools in their hands that
they are ready to go home and implement!
Furthermore Kim G, who has been doing this type of training for 20
years, had never seen a more receptive group and had never been involved
in a group that is as fruitful in disciple making (his own words). He
was most excited and impressed.
I hope that you receive this affirmation yourself as you are a key part of this work in Africa!
Here are a few comments from the guys themselves:
“We have never had a higher level of training in this area (of impacting Muslims) before.”
“We can take and use this immediately.”
“These are practical tools for building loving relationships with all people including Muslims.”
“Please let’s take this teaching to our teams; this is very important.”
“Thank you to everyone who has supported this conference.”
P.S.
Lest you think life is easy whilst in the midst of this, here is a note I
sent to a friend the morning after the conference ended: “Oh, man. This
is the morning after the last participant has left the
building. Besides the busyness of the week (what was I thinking) there
have been all of the logistics, hosting westerners and Africans, people
flying in and arriving from all directions (and then leaving), Burundi
going to hell (impacting not only that whole nation and families of our
participants but the travel of two of our teams), and, oh right, a full
week of training, plus interacting with the western trainers and each of
the teams. Oh, and did I mention that in the middle of the week I came
down with a cold. OK, so if that's not enough, on the final day of our
meetings (that I was facilitating), trying to work through my cold, I
accidentally took a double dose of Mucinex maximum strength which sent
my head a spinnin’.” Thank God He works despite us!!!
And thank you again for your prayers!
