January 2014 Newsletter! Update...leaving for Kenya!!!

MISSIONS…Reaching the Unreached FROM JOY MCCOLLUM… AMBASSADORS FELLOWSHIP, P.O. BOX 62309, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80962 January 2014, MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Blessings everyone!!! It has been several months since my last Newsletter. I have been seeking the face of the Lord as I am in a time of transition. The Lord is expanding my ministry beyond Benin, West Africa and Mexico and has added Nairobi, Kenya. I will be leaving for Kenya this summer and will be staying there for several months. As stated in my last Newsletter, as a recruiter/mobilize, I will be traveling to several countries to get acquainted with the ministries abroad and learn the culture in order to effectively bring in more laborers to these various fields. The ministry in Kenya is led by Mr. Aundrae and Sheila Cassell. I will be under these seasoned missionaries as I serve in Kenya. They have served in Kenya with their family of 8 children for over 20 years. I will be exposed to the conditions and needs of the ministry in Kenya and will return after some time to inform and challenge God’s people of the opportunities for ministry in Kenya. The Lord does not call only the preachers and teachers to the ministry of extending his kingdom, He also calls individuals with other abilities and skills, such as, musicians, educators, nurses, doctors, lawyers, builders, and so many more. There is a great need for a variety of laborers to advance God’s kingdom. My role is to help individuals to see the various opportunities that God can use them to advance His kingdom The harvest is so, extremely great! All of us need to be involved in some way for the gospel to reach everyone, especially the unreached. There are still sheep out there that need to be gathered into the Kingdom of God. John 10:16 says, “I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” I am excited to be going to Kenya to learn more of the international ministry over there and also to be of service to the ministry in Kenya. I am there to serve, learn, and help the ministry in any way the Lord desires. The women’s ministry in Philadelphia that I have continued to lead while I have been traveling back and forth has been very fruitful. The primary focus of that ministry was for women to recognize God’s purpose in their lives and to grow in relationship to one another as well as with the Lord. Its purpose is to have women be an encouragement to one another and be examples to be able to raise up other young ladies that need to see examples of pure, virtuous women of God. This ministry will continue to go on while I am in Kenya. Through the relationships established in this ministry, several women have gone on some short term mission outreaches as well. In the next couple of months before I leave for Kenya I will be visiting my supporters and churches to share what the Lord is doing. I am eternally grateful for your monetary and prayer support. Your giving enables me to continue the work that I am presently doing. I trust you will continue to be a part of my support team through your giving. The ministry I am involved in is causing me to travel more both locally, nationally, and internationally. May the Lord continue to bless you and comfort you in such an awesome way! I will keep you in my prayers continually. Prayer Points: • AF’s ministry in Nairobi, Kenya. • My financial support of at least $2,000.00 per month. • Protection for my family and myself as I do the Lord’s work. • Divine wisdom and direction in what the Lord has given me to do. • More young men and young women to come forth as laborers.

July 2013 International Missions Newsletter

Blessings!!! It has been some time since my last newsletter. I just want to say how grateful I am to everyone for your continued support, both in prayers and monetarily. I have been continually burdened with the desire to raise up disciples to go forth into every part of this earth and proclaim Jesus as Lord. In this season I am in, I am noticing more and more the need for those to know of the LOVE that Jesus has for all mankind. We can just reflect on the cross and how everyone has an opportunity to receive the chance for eternal life with the Lord. So many have either chosen another direction, or have not had the opportunity to accept this free gift of peace, joy, life, and freedom in Jesus! It is the ultimate deceit of the enemy to distract man towards the things of this world, and other gods/idols rather than the only One that can bring peace and joy. Everyone is looking for love and identity. We know our identity is in Jesus Christ, but many are still searching. It is the Lord who saves, who delivers, who brings freedom to all those that have been bound. He says in Matthew 19:26,”With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”. I believe the Lord can and will save those that seem unable to be saved; those that seem as though they are too far gone…He did it with me and you! He will and continues to do it again and again. On that note, I will be returning to Benin, West Africa this September 4th, 2013, and bringing in a group of young adults along with myself. We will be doing various ministry activities in various places including at the largest University in Benin, West Africa. There will also be an intercessory group working in the region near the base, a village group ministering in the villages, and a business group that will be investigating business projects that have already been started, and looking for new opportunities concerning business. There is still much to do in the country of Benin, West Africa, but much progress has already been done. We are thankful to the Lord for the ministry He has given in this small nation. We are still in the process of acquiring the land needed for the medical clinic, discipleship center, and farm land which will help support the ministry financially. We need to prepare the land first before we are to build on the land. Right now, we are looking to build a Well on the land, and looking initially to develop 40 acres of land. Our desire is to develop about 100 acres of land per year to prepare for the ministry that is to take place in Benin. As you can see, this is a process that takes time. We are not finished yet! God has given the vision, and He is providing all the tools to enable us to complete the vision! We are disciple makers. We make disciples across the nations, for them to go forth and then disciple others across the various nations as well. The Lord has called me to help bring in these individuals that can help aid the ministry not only in Benin, West Africa but various nations. Right now, the Lord is bringing in this group of individuals in September to help aid the work that is going on in Benin. The prayers and intercession of God’s people has help to bring in these individuals as well as the finances, and equipment needed to finish these various projects. I am so grateful to the Lord for you and your prayers. I have said this repeatedly, and continue to see God confirm this over and over again…He chooses to use US to partner together to win souls for Himself! It is an awesome thing to see God’s people work in unity to win souls for Jesus. He loves us, and Love died for Love! Others need to know this. As I am in the USA recruiting, mobilizing and preparing individuals and teams to go forth to these various countries, I see the Lord building up, and calling others forth into ministry and into the very purpose they are here on this earth for! It is so exciting! I am still working with the women’s ministry here in the States and all of them have either gone abroad internationally or they are in the process of going forth. The most important thing about the women’s discipleship ministry here in the States is that disciples are being made, people are growing spiritually and they are beginning to discover and walk in their purpose the Lord has given them on this earth. The laborers are few, but the harvest is so plentiful, but the Lord tells us to pray to the Lord for more laborers! So, as we have been laboring together in prayer the laborers are going forth to the various nations! Praise the Lord! I also look to be going to other countries and learning of the culture, customs and ministries there in order to then bring more of God’s people to those areas. Each of these outreaches will cost me about $3,000.00. In addition to that, I have everyday living and travel expenses here where I reside in the States. The travel I do is locally, nationally, and internationally. The ministry the Lord has given me does not just start when I am overseas, but it is ongoing here and abroad. It is a 24/7, every day ministry. Again, I thank you for all of your prayers, love, and support. May the Lord continue to bless you abundantly! Prayer Points: • AF ministry in Benin, and for laborers to fill Benin. • My financial support, as I will be traveling more internationally and locally to recruit/mobilize. • Protection for my family and myself as I do the Lord’s work. • Divine connections and divine appointments from the Lord, direction, and wisdom in what the Lord has given me to do. • Please pray for more young men to be drawn forth as laborers. • God’s Kingdom come and Will be done in this ministry!

JANUARY 2013 NEWSLETTER!!

MISSIONS TO THE HIDDEN NATIONS… Reaching the Unreached FROM JOY MCCOLLUM… AMBASSADORS FELLOWSHIP, P.O. BOX 62309, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80962 January 2013, MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Happy and Blessed NEW YEAR!!! I pray that you had an awesome Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as well as a blessed beginning to your New Year! I am looking forward to 2013, as I hope all of you are as well. There is still much work to do in bringing in individuals to the knowledge of the Lord and the call to the Great Commission! The Lord is doing much work in preparing His people with the knowledge, information, and understanding of the call to the Great Commission. I have recently returned from a Tijuana, Mexico crusade where we saw individuals get saved, and encouraged in the Gospel of Jesus. The poverty in Mexico is evident. In all of that, the Joy on the children, teenagers, and adults faces, as the love of Christ was shown, was unforgettable. There were many new individuals on this outreach this year. The Lord revealed His love to not only the people of Mexico, but to us as well. His LOVE is what heals, sets free, brings joy, and brings peace in an atmosphere where peace is not known. God IS Love, and when we show His love, others will know that we are the Lord’s disciples. Last year the Christians we worked with in Mexico were so encouraged and uplifted as we evangelized throughout Mexico that they decided to continue the work themselves in evangelizing their own neighborhoods. They feared going out and evangelizing because of the gangs, crime, destruction, etc. But, the Lord did a great work and gave them boldness! Also, one of the pastors that we work with in Tijuana, Mexico went to India with us as well. The Lord is not just sending those from the USA out, but those from all over the world to different parts of the nations! The Lord told us to raise up disciples, and this is what we are doing! We desire that everywhere we go disciples be raised up. The Lord took a Mexican Pastor and sent him to India. How awesome is that?!! The Lord also took individuals from all over the United States who never before traveled outside of their own country or even state, placed in them the desire to go, and sent them! Now, more people in these nations are coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ because they decided to OBEY what the Lord put in their heart to do. Those that supported them monetarily and prayerfully also are partners with us in the winning of souls in these various countries. Praise the Lord! This year in Mexico, we had individuals work with the children’s ministry and teach them the Word of God through video, worship, and most importantly through love. These little kids have many seeds of hope, faith, and love planted in them from this outreach. We expect to see the increase when we return. We have seen miracles, signs and wonders in Mexico! Most importantly individuals have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and continued to live a life of Christ. The ministry over in Benin is growing as well, as we are looking to build a discipleship center, medical clinic, and buy land for farming to help support the ministry. We are currently in Benin raising up leaders through discipleship, ministering to the pastors of the Four-Square Denomination that we have partnered with to win at least 10% of that nation to Jesus Christ, and working in various villages. These villages that we are ministering in consist of first generation Christians! The Lord has given us the privilege of watering the seed that has been planted with the people in those villages! I am still here gathering those whom the Lord has chosen for His work internationally. On December 14th we had an AF missionary fellowship with around 50 individuals who have been on our outreaches or had an interest in missions from the Philadelphia area. This was a great time of fellowship and encouragement that was given in the call of the Great Commission! There are still areas all over the world that have never heard of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need the laborers, we need the intercessors, the worshipers, the preachers, teachers, evangelist, missionaries, artistically gifted individuals in drama, media, computers, and we need our fellow brothers and sisters to partner with us to fulfill the vision of soul winning all over the world! In this assignment I have been given, I will be traveling more internationally, nationally, and locally to inform and mobilize the Body of Christ. The only way this world will change is through the Body of Christ. Each ministry has their assignment. This is my assignment to win souls for Jesus Christ in the least reached and unreached areas of the world through recruitment and mobilization. If nobody brings in the individuals, then where will the laborers come from? I will be returning to Benin, West Africa with a group of individuals as to expose them to the international field as well as continue to aid in the work that is ongoing there. Lord willing I will also be going to several other countries in the near future. In the midst of that I will be preparing the individuals who will be going to Benin this year as well as prepare for the various places the Lord will be sending me. I am also continuing to raise my support as more support will be needed to do all of what the Lord has given me to do. I will be returning to Colorado Springs, Colorado for additional international mission’s training to be more effective as I travel, recruit, and mobilize God’s people locally, nationally, and internationally. Please continue to partner with me monetarily and through prayer. I love you all, and I am praying for you all as well! Blessings! Prayer Points: • AF ministry in Benin, and for laborers to fill Benin. • My financial support, as I will be traveling more internationally and locally to recruit/mobilize. • Protection for my family and myself as I do the Lord’s work. • Divine connections and divine appointments from the Lord, direction, and wisdom in what the Lord has given me to do. • God’s Kingdom come and Will be done in this ministry.

OCTOBER 2012 NEWSLETTER! NEW STUFF!

MISSIONS TO THE HIDDEN NATIONS… Reaching the Unreached FROM JOY MCCOLLUM… October 2012, MONTHLY NEWSLETTER AMBASSADORS FELLOWSHIP, P.O. BOX 62309, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80962 Blessings and Greetings to all, I have recently returned from Benin, West Africa after bringing in a team of 10 individuals. We had a marvelous time in the Lord while in Benin in tearing down the enemy’s strongholds over the land of Benin through prayer and worship! The ministry over in Benin is growing as we are looking to build a discipleship center, medical clinic, and buy land for farming to help support the ministry. We are currently in Benin raising up leaders through discipleship, ministering to the pastors of the Four-Square Denomination that we have partnered with to win at least 10% of that nation to Jesus Christ, and working in various villages. These villages that we are ministering in consist of first generation Christians! The Lord has given us the privilege of watering the seed that has been planted with the people in those villages! We also are looking to have and ESL (English as a Second Language) program for some of the young professionals in Benin. We are concerned about the “whole man”. We desire to use these tools to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people in Benin West Africa. The ministry is expanding in Benin. We are seeing progression in the growth of some of the individuals who are currently being discipled. One young man has had the opportunity to go to the North of Benin for 3 months, where he was able to minister to the people there and begin to disciple a group of individuals who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The organization I am under, Ambassadors Fellowship, seeks to make disciples everywhere we go! We believe the Lord will raise up the people in Benin so that they are able to go forth and raise up disciples in their country and beyond. I had the awesome opportunity in 2010/2011 to live in Benin for 6 months, and then return this summer for a short time to bring in a team of 10 individuals to help water the seed that was planted in Benin years ago. I am here in the United States to relay the message to the church of the Great Commission and how we all can take part in what the Lord has commanded us to do as believers. I have also been traveling back and forth from Benin and Tijuana, Mexico to recruit, mobilize and encourage the body of Christ to take part in the Great Commission. In Benin, we have a full time missionary Magna James working in the field, and I have been assigned to inform and bring in the laborers to help continue the work that is going on in Benin, West Africa and other international fields. Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 9:37,38 “…The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” The harvest is plenteous in Benin, but there are very few laborers. I am here to gather those whom the Lord has chosen for His work internationally. There are still areas of Benin that have never heard of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need the laborers, we need the intercessors, the worshipers, the preachers, teachers, evangelist, missionaries, artistically gifted individuals in drama, media, computers, and we need our fellow brothers and sisters to partner with us to fulfill the vision of soul winning in the country of Benin! In this assignment I have been given, I will be traveling more to inform and mobilize and Body of Christ. The only way this world will change is through the church. Each ministry has their assignment. This is my assignment to win souls for Jesus Christ in the least reached and unreached areas of the world through recruitment and mobilization. If nobody brings in the individuals, then where will the laborers come from? I will be returning to Tijuana, Mexico this November with a group of individuals as to expose them to the international field. Then, I will be preparing to return back to Benin, West Africa with another group of individuals to help with the ongoing ministry there. In the midst of that I am continuing to raise support, and I will be returning to Colorado Springs, Colorado for additional international mission’s training to be more effective as I travel, recruit, and mobilize God’s people locally, nationally, and internationally. The Benin 2012 prayer, intercessory, and worship team that went over this year truly ministered to the Beninese. One of the Beninese said this was the best team that came over to Benin to minister. I brought over a team of 10 individuals and we were met with about 10 other individuals from Nigeria, Benin, and the United States. We brought over a team of worshipers and intercessors to minister to the people, worship, and pray over the land as to bring in the presence of the Lord in order to change the atmosphere of the entire region! Benin is a land filled with voodoo, idol worship, and ungodly acts. We were able to go to various parts of Benin, such as the villages, city of Cotonou, and other areas. We conducted several prayer walks, and worship nights. We partnered with some of the young people at the largest University in Benin to hold an outdoor worship service. We danced and praised the Lord together that night, and several young men came to accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior! God is good! Thank you for your consistent prayers and monetary support. Please continue to partner with me monetarily and through prayer. I love you all, and I am praying for you all as well! Blessings!

MISSIONS TO THE HIDDEN NATIONS… Reaching the Unreached
FROM JOY MCCOLLUM…
AMBASSADORS FELLOWSHIP, P.O. BOX 62309, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80962
December 2011, MONTHLY NEWSLETTER


Hi Everyone! Greetings!

I pray all is well with you, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! I am so excited to report on what has been going on in ministry since my last September newsletter.

First, I would like to thank all my supporters who have been praying for me and also giving monetarily as you have been a great part of bringing people into the ministry of missions! Jesus said, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37, 38. The laborers are being sent out as the Lord is preparing His people over in the West to go forth to the nations! The Lord is the One who calls and sends, and that is why I am so very grateful to be chosen for the task of not just informing individuals, pastors, church bodies about the heart of Jesus, but also being in a position to share with them the opportunities the Lord has presented for them to take part in being involved in the GREAT COMMISSION! You, my co-laborers, are aiding in the process of sending more laborers into the various fields to help disciple, train, and allow the Lord to work the greatest miracle of all, which is salvation globally!

I have just returned from Tijuana, Mexico on an outreach in which 15 people from the Philadelphia area went. There were 12 individuals from New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware in which were recruited on my team. We would meet very frequently together to pray for one another, the leaders in Mexico and for Ambassadors Fellowship. We also would fellowship very frequently together as a team. Fellowship is very important in the body of Christ as it builds relationships, and brings a unity which helps us to minister together more effectively. Even though the individuals came from the same area, everyone did not know one another, and through our meetings several strong relationships were built. We moved in such a level of unity not just in preparation for the outreach, but as a team as a whole once in Tijuana, Mexico. There were people from California, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Delaware, and Colorado who joined together to bring God Glory through evangelization, worship, prayer, teachings, encouragement, testimonies, and just the fellowship and love of the body of Christ to the people of Tijuana, Mexico. We saw healings, miracles, salvations and several of the Mexicans had some very encouraging testimonies as to how they were encouraged with us coming in and evangelizing with them. They were encouraged to continue on evangelizing without fear in their own country to their own people, oh PRAISE JESUS! Damage was done to the kingdom of satan and the Kingdom of God was extended by more souls being won for His GLORY!

It is so amazing how the Lord will use those from different backgrounds, different churches and upbringings to minister together in such unity and love and be so effective in doing it! The main ingredient is LOVE, and having the same mind! The apostles did it as they waited before the Lord for the Holy Spirit to come, and they continued to be in oneness as we see in the book of Acts. The Lord added to the church DAILY! To God be ALL the Glory!

Another awesome wonder of the Lord is that with the 12 people from the team the Lord had me take in to Tijuana, Mexico desire to return back to Mexico and even other nations. About half of them desire to go deeper into missions being more open to where the Lord has placed them in regards to international missions. Some individuals desire to go into full time ministry concerning international missions! Isn’t God excellent?!! Yes HE IS! This outreach was just the beginning for many. The Lord brought to my attention, that the number of recruits was 12, just like the 12 disciples! These individuals I believe will turn the world upside down all over the world for Jesus! They are just getting their feet wet, as about 10 of them have never been to the international field before in their life! Now, that they have had a taste, they desire more!

In addition to the recruitment for Tijuana, Mexico, I have been informing individuals and the body of Christ about the powerful outreaches to Benin, West Africa 2012 since I returned to Philadelphia in late May, early June 2011. Now, I believe the Lord for a team of 30 people for August 2011! There are several individuals who have come on board, and as we speak I am finalizing the first batch of individuals this week. Several individuals who went to Mexico are coming to Benin. I am seeing how the Lord has opened doors that no man can shut! Some individuals are just waiting for the opportunity and need to be exposed, and the Lord is strategically leading me to these individuals and church bodies. He is the one WHO does it! He gets ALL the GLORY in this; I just listen to what He tells me to do. Obedience is very important in our walk with the Lord; the Lord loves an obedient servant!

Before I went to Benin, the Lord put a burden on my heart to start a women’s fellowship/ministry composed of several young women being discipled by other young women. The primary focus for the development of the women would be in the area of character, the Father’s love, and knowing who they are in Christ. The desire for the women to know their purpose and specific assignment the Lord has given them while on this earth was a burden as well. I knew the Lord was going to bring in women who were called in some way to the international field as well. There was much the Lord was going to do in this as I followed His leading. It broke my heart that many young women are not adequately discipled, and do not have other women to look at who are living examples of discipline, purity, and love. There are so many issues that keep women away from really trusting other women that I have seen. I just believe discipleship is so important to body of Christ.
The Lord put on my heart to help build up a core group of women to eventually be able to bring in other young women to be discipled. Upon my return to the States my heart was once again burdened to begin this women’s ministry/discipleship. I presented the vision to my leaders, and they approved. Now, for the last 6 months, we have had consistent prayer meetings once a week, along with a fellowship at the end of every month. At these fellowships, one of the young ladies is chosen to lead a bible study, exhortation, with everything being referenced out of the Word of God. It’s important that as we share, things line up with the Word of God. We encourage one another and pray for one another consistently building the relationship and trust with one another to be able to minister to one another effectively. Sometimes, I introduce a ministerial video or something in which the ladies can be blessed from. The Lord through this ministry of about 6 or 7 women is sending 3 or 4 of them to Benin, West Africa next year in August 2012! Some of the women have gotten some deliverance and freedom in several areas and also revelation of their assignment on this earth from the Lord since we began! The Lord is also beginning to add to the group as well! Several of these women are already in ministry, and are powerful women of God that just need to be in an environment with other like-minded women in which they can receive encouragement, discipleship, and freedom from whatever would keep them from fulfilling the assignment the Lord has purposed them on this earth to do! I see the Lord doing just this! I pray one day, I will be able to bring a group of young women so strong in the Lord to the international field to minister to the women in the various places around the world! The Lord’s Will be done!

As you can see, the Lord is doing so much in informing, preparing, discipling, and training His people to go forth into not only Benin, West Africa next year, but to the Nations! I thank you all once again for your consistent prayer and monetary support. Please, know that being over here in the States is very important in preparing people to minister to the international field they are called too. Before I return to Benin, I must continue to do the work the Lord has me to do here to the fullness, as it is an international work for the Lord and aids the work already going on in Benin, West Africa, as it did in Tijuana, Mexico. May the Lord Himself bless you for your obedience towards His ministry in giving. I love you all! Blessings!

Additional Points of Prayer:

•Pray that laborers would harvest the field in Benin in regards to the Praise, Prayer, and Jubilee Fest in 2012. We believe to send in teams in April 2012, August 2012, and September 2012 for this specific assignment in changing the atmosphere of that whole region in Benin! YES!

•My heart is for the youth/young adults, children and women. I desire for all to KNOW the Father’s Heart!

•Pray for Missionary Magna James, senior missionary here in Benin, West Africa and Jean, who is from Benin, and also works with AF Benin.

•Pray for my physical and spiritual health while I am in the States.

•Please pray against any hindrances and attacks of the enemy against me, my family, Ambassadors Fellowship and the ministry in Benin.

•The LORD’s WILL BE DONE…HIS KINGDOM TO COME WHILE MINISTERING IN THE STATES AND ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Missionary Support is Needed to do God's Work!

Hello All,

I pray everyone is doing well. I hope you all have been receiving
my bi-monthly newsletters letting you know what I am doing while here in the
USA, before I return back to Benin. My role has changed a little bit as I am
traveling throughout the Delaware County teaching, ministering, but most
importantly recruiting and mobilizing individuals to the foreign mission field.
My focus is mainly to recruit praise and prayer teams to Benin, West Africa
next year 2012, along with mobilizing those for Tijuana, Mexico this November
2011. Mobilization and discipleship is similar to what I do on the foreign
mission field, only here the Lord is using me to inform, prepare, and train His
people on this side to effectively minister to those in these foreign countries.
I also am discipling a group of women in which more than half of them are going
into the foreign field as well. So, the Lord is not only raising up His people
to understand and know their calling and full purpose but building them up and
encouraging them in such a way that they are now able to fulfill the promise
the Lord has in their lives. It's an awesome thing to see individuals being
delivered and set free in this land to be effective in going over to other
lands! I cannot explain to all of you how important this role is the Lord has
me in right now in the body of Christ. This is helping prepare God's people not
just for the international field, but for God's calling on their lives. I have
a big heart for women and young people. When I return to Benin or anywhere the
Lord sends me, I hope to bring in young people and women to minister to the
women and young people in these countries! The people in Benin and all over
need to see this thrust of believers come forth and proclaim HIS NAME above all
others...then we will see such a revival in these lands more and more!

But, we must first be prepared before we go, and this is what the
Lord has me to do now. This preparation not only helps the people in going
over, but also aids the work that is going on internationally on the field and
also bring people from Ghana, Nigeria, and surrounding countries to get trained
at the discipleship facility in Benin, so they will be able to go forth into
their own land as well as Europe and France (In Benin, they speak French), and
proclaim Jesus and continue to raise up others for Christ. We will also be
training missionaries from the USA in this discipleship center as well. So by
preparing people on this end, it helps facilitate the work on the other
end...the international field. This still requires just as much support as it
did to keep me in Benin, West Africa while I was there. It is all full time
ministry with no paycheck, no health plan...just God giving His people an
opportunity to be apart by sowing into this ministry faithfully. I live in
complete faith and dependency on God's provision. He said He will provide, and
I trust Him and in His provision. He chooses to use each one of you. As you
give, know that every person that is trained in the USA, every person discipled,
every individual trained over in Benin, and Mexico, every soul saved, delivered
and set free ... please know that YOU are all apart of that...The Great
Commission...thats what it is! We work together to aid in building the Kingdom
of God. I definitely need your prayers as well, please continue to pray for me
as it is much of a challenge, but also so rewarding to be chosen for this task.

Please pray about giving faithfully into my ministry, $25.00,
$50.00, $100.00, $200.00 or more monthly, or a onetime donation. I pray the
Lord places on your heart to give monthly no matter the amount. The Lord will
bless you for your giving. You are more blessed when you give than when you
receive. As you give, the Lord will fill you with fullness and overabundance
not just financially but spiritually and physically as well. I am a living
witness of that! I have attached my most recent newsletter for you to review
again as well. I hope to be able to meet with each of you or talk to you all
personally very soon.

September 2011, MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

Hi Everyone! Greetings!

I pray all is well with you, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! I have been back in the States for several months now, continuing in the area of recruiting/mobilizing and training others in the areas of missions. This all consist of recruiting individuals for the short term outreach to Tijuana, Mexico and for Benin, West Africa 2012. I am so blessed by the Lord with the opportunities and individuals He has given for me to meet and encourage in the area of international missions.

The recruitment/mobilization process is a process of encouraging, and training individuals in an area of ministry at which some have never given any thought. I am coming into contact with young people and individuals alike who have not been given the opportunity or been properly educated in the ministry of international missions. The Lord has allowed me to be able to inform individuals, and also churches and challenge them in what God has called them to do as a believer for the Kingdom of God. It’s a true blessing to see individuals gain a greater heart for souls, and desire for God to use them in whatever way He chooses to win souls for His Glory. I am finding that many people in the church are seeking God’s face and just need to be given the true understanding of what Matt. 28:19,20 actually means and how it pertains to their personal life and walk with Jesus.

Tijuana, Mexico is our Thanksgiving Crusade, and a short term outreach in which many individuals and young people go who have never before been abroad to do mission work. It is a 5 day crusade and introduces them to the international mission field. We do neighborhood and church centered evangelism, and minister through worship, dance, mime, and video ministry to bring the light of Christ and encourage the Mexican people. Right now I am recruiting and training individuals in Philadelphia to go into Tijuana, Mexico this November 2011. Right now, there is a group of individuals from the Philadelphia, Delaware, and New Jersey area at which I am working with to go to Mexico this year.

Benin, West Africa is a land the Lord has definitely set His heart towards. I am also recruiting for our Praise, Prayer and Jubilee Fest! We are looking to bring in Worship and Prayer teams into Benin in 3 phases next year, 2012. The Lord has given Ambassadors Fellowship the vision of developing a West African ministry base in Benin, which is central to reaching the 25 French speaking nations on Africa’s continent. This base will train church leaders in discipleship, help transform their congregations into disciples of Jesus Christ and to create hundreds of disciple makers who will go out as Christ ambassadors, taking the Good News to regions of the world where Jesus is not known. So, with this vision I will be helping to recruit/mobilize worship teams and prayers in the Philadelphia area to go forth and help to prepare the land for this vision to be completed. We desire to bring these teams in to change the atmosphere of that whole region in Benin, West Africa! This is an awesome opportunity for those whom the Lord has selected to go forth and usher in the Glory of God in Benin, West Africa!

Lastly, I am also visiting several churches and presenting the Samaritan Card to churches and individuals now raising support for short term field ministry. The Samaritan Card is a way of getting the body of Christ to get involved in helping to build God’s Kingdom abroad. The church chooses a project to support internationally and collectively takes a certain amount of cards and sells the cards by presenting the vision of the project. The cards are only $20.00 and $15.00 of the Card goes to the project the Church chooses. This helps get the body of believers engaged in not only raising support for some much needed projects that are going on internationally, such as training facilities, economic development projects such as farm land, transportation and more.

I help train the individuals in the church in coming together as a group and praying for these projects and work together to accomplish Kingdom purposes. This is a great opportunity for God’s people to gain more of a heart for souls all over the world, by praying for these nations and projects they are becoming involved in. They come to understand that what they are committing to is helping to minister to individuals all over the world!

As my time in Benin, West Africa was a blessing, so is my time back home in the United States. The opportunity to be a catalyst used to bring people into the field and inform the church correctly of God’s heart and call to win souls all over the world and come into complete relationship with their Maker is unique. I am truly having a blast seeing the Lord educate, encourage, and motivate others for His Glory!

In Matthew 9:37 it states, “…The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few”; The Lord has called us all to be apart in some way. He has called me in this season, before going back to Benin, to help bring in the labourers to the field of Benin, and several other fields as well. This area of ministry requires the same amount of support as does being overseas. So, please partner with me to help bring labourers into the field of ministry. Let us grasp a hold of the value of going forth in these last days, and partner together financially, prayerfully, and physically to reveal God’s Heart to the nations!
