BENIN, WEST AFRICA!

NEXT STOP…BENIN, WEST AFRICA!!!
Dear Beloved Co-Laborers in the Faith,
God bless all of you! I am so excited to inform all of you of my next assignment in heading to Benin, West Africa; but first I would like to inform you of what I have been doing for the last several months.
As I stated in my last newsletter that I would be working as a Regional Representative working with small groups to accomplish the task of informing individuals of the needs, opportunities, challenges of the call to reach the various people groups, and how to get involved in extending the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world. The Lord has opened up opportunities to share this with various young people and church groups. I am encouraged by the fruit of what has become of informing the church and encouraging them in the area of missions. Many individuals have desired to be apart in some way, whether that is through exposure to the field short term, intercessors being encouraged to intercede for nations as well as intercessors rising up within the church, and also through those giving more monetarily to enhance the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I praise the Lord for the awesome opportunities, and yet the privilege to be His voice to the people of God and to the Hidden Nations during this time of unrest in the world. I also praise the Lord for being able to see the multiplication of individuals rising up with a heart to share and help in any way with extending the Gospel of Jesus to NATIONS! YES! PRAISE YOU JESUS!!!
The Lord now has commissioned me to go to Benin, West Africa for my on the field training for 3 year this upcoming fall/winter. I will be doing lots of hands on training and be learning under Missionary Magna James. I will also be going through discipleship training and assisting Magna James with the evangelistic and discipleship ministry at Alomey-Calavi University, which is the largest University in Benin. It consists of about 60,000 students.
My preparation before going to Benin will consist of several things before heading to the field. Some of which consist of learning French, which I plan to be fluent in before I leave. Also, I will be reading several books, and studying intensely before I leave as well.
I thank God that all of you have been a part of reaching the nations for Jesus in some way! I am excited about this new opportunity to learn, grow, be taught, and minister in Benin West Africa for the next 3 years. This will help me to grow in character and enable me to be even more ready to continue in the call the Lord has for my life; to EFFECTIVELY WIN SOULS AND MAKE DISCIPLES FOR JESUS! .
I would encourage everyone to keep me in prayer, as my prayer points are at the end of this newsletter. Please also continue to join with me in being a vital part in extending the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the World. My desire is to tell the world about Jesus and to make disciples so that they can go and tell others of the gift that was given to them!
Jesus told the twelve disciples when He sent them out to minister in Matthew 10:8, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” We must witness and tell others about Jesus, but we must not stop there, we must then MAKE disciples for Jesus! Freely we have received so much, and freely we must give to others in serious need to know of Jesus!
I will keep you all informed as I continue extend the Gospel all over the world, starting at Benin, West Africa! I need your support prayerfully and financially to do the work of the Lord. You can be apart as well! It is a wonderful blessing knowing that your monetary support and prayers helped to bring the Gospel of Jesus to a village that did not even know the name of Jesus, or helped to break the chains of those in bondage that have no governmental freedom! YES! This is what we are all called to do! TO GO TO THE NATIONS, in whatever way the Lord leads us to do so! Praise the Lord!
Prayer Points:
· Please pray for me as I continue to raise my monthly support, and for 50 people to give $50.00 per month.
