A Heart Like His

In September Gregg and Donna Fort, and Kurt Holiday helped facilitate another church planting training in Southern Africa.  Janna Kay Holiday came for the training and also helped with the worship music.

Forty-three believers from 9 different countries came together for this training.

The purpose of the training is to help believers understand that the Father's heart is for His Kingdom to spread though out the whole earth and for all the lost to have an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel.

 The training also challenges church traditions which are preventing rapid multiplication of disciples and churches.  It helps believers realize that it is the job of EVERY believer to share the gospel, disciple new believers, and help organize new believers into churches.

Also helping facilitate the meeting were Fred and Mary Naude and Jim Flora.

The training lasted two weeks and during that time many believers who had never known each other before were united in heart and mind.  We had great fellowship and learned much from one another.  

"Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!  It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes.  It is like the dew of Hermon which falls on the mountains of Zion.  For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore."  (Psalm 133 ESV)

How thankful we are for the blessings God brought during the training and for the way God is helping the participants use what they learned at the training to help reach the lost and build the Kingdom of God.
