GOD AT WORK IN MEN
Our theme for this weekend was about Men Becoming Great Men. There are a few things that help men move toward greatness. Here are a few..
1.Men are formed to be great men when they are young. Mothers and fathers have a great role in forming boys to be men. Building confidence into the lives of boys right from the start is something we should not overlook. Boys need the love and affection of their mother and father, this puts boys on the road to greatness.
2. Men are formed to be great men when God invades their lives. God invades lives when people pray. Angelic forces are released when we pray. Pray for young boys and men.It will make a difference.
3. Men are formed to be great men when they choose to be followers of Christ. Jesus said, Follow me and I will make you. No one can make us the people we can be like Jesus. He changed men's lives when he was here on earth and He is still doing that today.

REPORT ON THE MALTA AFRICA TRIP
It was a whirlwind trip as we traveled to the 3 nations of Malta,Zimbabwe and South Africa. The schedule was full.
The work in Malta is going well with growth on every side.They contiue to have two works on the Island . One in Mosta and another in Buggiba. They are also having different groups use their facilties for outreach to the many different peoples that inhabit that Island. Vince and Anoinette senfd their love.
In Zimbabwe we had a conference with leaders and pastors on the subject of "the apostolic church today and how it should operate as a healthy family" The response was excellent with the desire to apply this to their lives and churches. The time ended on a high when we were able to minister to a number of churches and leaders that came to the final meeting. The Lord seemed to be speaking that a shift was coming into that nation. The people embraced that with faith and are believing for change. It was good to be their with Steven Kostamo who is looking to help the church there in a great building project which will take place over a number of years.We were able to view the plans and property.
South Africa was a time where we celebrated 5 years of the existence of the "Life Reshaping Church" (Pastor Leonard Kanyama)during which time we brought and emphasis and teaching on Marriage,Divorce and Remarriage and family life. We also ministered one morning with a fine group of youth who were absolutely tuned in to the message. Praise and worship was out of this world! Vic Eiswerth was able to share an encouraging word with those who are open to business. It was great to have Vic there to support me and also bring encouragement to different people and situations.It is kind of neat to have a church in a tent.
Thanks for your prayers!! We believe God did His will though us as you joined with us in prayer.It was a very challenging trip but we already feel rested and ready to go to great things here at home.
The needs are overwhelming in that part of the world, so much more reason to go!
