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!

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!
