What could the 2020+ generation of kids reflect on after the COVID-19 Pandemic? There will be a definite paradigm shift caused by their past months experience. What did the kids in your home experience? Did they see trust in God\u2019s provision and protection? Did they experience Christlikeness in attitudes and behaviors being home? Were they grounded more in loving, giving, serving, truth, and Godliness? A certain reflection is when the gospel is believed in the heart of the child, it will keep the child of God in peace and safe in God\u2019s promises and plan. Definitely the main solution in all situations throughout their walk of life on earth. I thank God for His love for the world (John 3:16),<\/p>\n

THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING IN THIS MINISTRY TO GET THE GOSPEL TO KIDS.<\/p>\n

\"International<\/a><\/p>\n

What an incredible challenge and test we faced, and may still be facing daily. Will our goal to target Christlikeness and Godliness be met, no matter what we go through?<\/p>\n

As an evangelistic teacher, my heart has been burdened to pray for every student who has ever been trained and equipped to share the gospel and counsel for salvation, to rise up, evangelize, and teach so that kids can hear and believe.<\/p>\n

\"Teacher<\/a><\/p>\n

I recently taught students in Mauritius who desired to change the lives of children in the Capital City of Port Louis, as well as a slum bordering the city. On arrival in January, the National leader for Mauritius and I planned dates and places during January and February to train in three areas to strengthen leaders and new believers ministering to kids. The strategy in Mauritius is to win the nation to Christ through reaching and evangelizing as many kids as possible. The census shows that less than 35% of the population (1,296,577 million people) is Christian. Of the 35%, 26% represents Roman Catholics. So less then 20% has faith in just Christ alone as savior. Then, children under 14 years make up 20% of the population, a field ready to be reached! Pray for Mauritius as the workers increase to reach the kids!<\/p>\n

Rev. Leopold and his wife, Joyce, are serving as leaders in Mauritius. His vision for Mauritius is to reach the entire Island with the gospel. The greatest need in Mauritius is to help the people obtain Bibles and become students of the word. Thank you for the funds sent to the account BIBLES FOR SOUTHERN AFRICA # 11643P. These funds made it possible to provide 50 Bibles to Mauritius to help the church maintain Bible resources at hand for students and members.<\/p>\n

\"Pastor<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mauritius<\/a><\/p>\n

Leadership training has been conducted by missionaries Ben and Marianne Jansen, who have made a great impact developing the ministry team in Mauritius. Keep this leadership development program in prayer as these leaders will become the church planters that will minister to incoming congregations in newly reached areas.<\/p>\n

\"CMI<\/a><\/p>\n

In March, I attended training to be updated as an instructor of teachers in new training materials with CHILD EVANGELISM FELLOWSHIP at the CHILDREN\u2019S MINISTRY INSTITUTE in South Africa. Students came from all over Southern Africa; Mozambique was the only country without representation. These instructors are all back in their nations and working as fulltime ministry workers to duplicate themselves. When I travel into these nations, help from these instructors is now available to teach courses. Thank God with me for the strengthening of TEAM TEACHERS to train workers for the churches to build their Children\u2019s Ministries and outreaches. All gifts to the project CHILD EVANGELISM AFRICA #10004 will help me support students as they become National Children\u2019s Ministry Leaders in the 16 Southern Africa countries.<\/p>\n

\"Clearing<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in Malawi, at the end of March, we had time to clear out documents and paperwork stored since the year 2000, due to the COVID-19 Stay Home mandate. At end of April, accounting was caught up and planning began to use ZOOM to teach parents how to lead their children to Christ and counsel them.<\/p>\n

We are now seeking the Lord on planning for post COVID-19. What will that be like? All I know right now is to focus on exalting our God and to meditate on who He is. God describes Himself as a God of compassion, kindness, forgiveness, truth, holiness, and justice (Ex. 34:6-7). Then every moment, even over coffee and walking with a mask, I am praying for the unreached!<\/p>\n

Pray that the Lord of the HARVEST will send His workers!<\/p>\n

Saludos fieles seguidores, <\/h2>

\u00a1Diciembre es una \u00e9poca de celebraci\u00f3n de por qu\u00e9 naci\u00f3 Cristo! Les deseo a ustedes y a sus familias una temporada bendecida de celebraciones. Que su unidad en la fe aumente y se fortalezca al expresar nuestro agradecimiento por la vida de Cristo, demostrando el amor de Dios por nosotros. Naci\u00f3 el salvador del mundo, y mientras se cuenta esta historia, recemos juntos para que, en esta temporada, muchos m\u00e1s lleguen a la salvaci\u00f3n. <\/p>

<\/p>

En el Hospital Ortop\u00e9dico Infantil Cure en Blantyre-Malawi, los ni\u00f1os escucharon una lecci\u00f3n sobre el tema, "Cristo naci\u00f3 para salvarme" de Mateo 1: 18-24. Antes de dejar a los ni\u00f1os, cada uno recibi\u00f3 una Biblia para ni\u00f1os en su propio idioma, el chichewa. Oren mientras estos ni\u00f1os llevan las buenas noticias a su pueblo. Ore para que los lectores de la Biblia den un paso al frente y lean las historias de la Biblia a la aldea. Gracias por todos los que dan al programa, Biblias para \u00c1frica del Sur, cuenta WMM 11643P. Hiciste esto posible. El 25 de diciembre, los ni\u00f1os de la calle en Blantyre en Stekahouse recibir\u00e1n un desayuno con una lecci\u00f3n y tambi\u00e9n recibir\u00e1n Biblias. <\/p>

<\/p>

Diciembre es un buen mes para unir a los j\u00f3venes. El reverendo Joe Delport, director regional para \u00c1frica del Sur, plane\u00f3 con el equipo de The Awakening hacer exactamente eso. De ocho naciones, los j\u00f3venes se reunieron en Zambia con los l\u00edderes nacionales de sus pa\u00edses. El objetivo era buscar a Dios, ser empoderado por Dios, para que sus planes nacieran con una estrategia de pasi\u00f3n que se abrazara para el trabajo de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n, y para que los j\u00f3venes se alzaran listos para la responsabilidad y el liderazgo. <\/p>

<\/p>

Max Barroso trajo una palabra de 1 Reyes 18, ayudando a todos a entender que cada persona cristiana es la respuesta, ya que las naciones est\u00e1n en una sequ\u00eda espiritual. Dios quiere hacer algo a trav\u00e9s de sus vasos. Necesitamos restaurar el altar y entregarnos como una bebida, devolviendo todos nuestros corazones a \u00c9l. Un gran avance es la promesa. Al principio podemos ver solo una peque\u00f1a nube del tama\u00f1o de un pu\u00f1o, pero realmente, deber\u00edamos ver una inundaci\u00f3n como Elijah que se desatar\u00e1. \u00a1Dios est\u00e1 listo para construir a su pueblo como una virgen de Israel para dar a luz a lo que le dar\u00e1 gloria a Dios! Alegr\u00e9monos mientras Dios trabaja en su pueblo para la preparaci\u00f3n de esta temporada espiritual para inundar la tierra con su gloria. <\/p>

<\/p>

Los l\u00edderes de cada naci\u00f3n para el IPHC son claves fundamentales que ayudan a las iglesias a desarrollar ministerios efectivos para los ni\u00f1os con programas para involucrar a los ni\u00f1os en actividades de divulgaci\u00f3n, misiones y oraciones por grupos de personas no alcanzadas. El reverendo Joe Delport est\u00e1 ayudando a llevar estos folletos a los l\u00edderes para que adopten los ministerios de desarrollo de estrategias y fruct\u00edferos para los ni\u00f1os. Tambi\u00e9n ser\u00e1n dirigidos al siguiente sitio web para obtener recursos: WWW.WAKNET.COM. Ore, ya que el enfoque de los l\u00edderes el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o estar\u00e1 en que cada naci\u00f3n desarrolle un plan de desarrollo del ministerio de ni\u00f1os. Con este plan, los l\u00edderes y trabajadores espec\u00edficos ser\u00e1n entrenados para alcanzar, ense\u00f1ar y movilizar a los ni\u00f1os para convertirse en una fuerza de trabajo y un poderoso ej\u00e9rcito de guerreros de oraci\u00f3n. <\/p>

<\/p>

Pasar\u00e9 esta Navidad en Malawi, \u00c1frica Central, donde estoy radicado por ahora. Luego me preparar\u00e9 para mi vuelo de Malawi a Mauricio. Pasar\u00e9 tiempo en Mauricio durante parte de enero y febrero de 2020 para trabajar con estudiantes que fueron capacitados durante septiembre de 2019. Luego, en la ciudad capital, un grupo de iglesias reci\u00e9n establecido quiere estar equipado para llegar a los ni\u00f1os de la comunidad. Este ser\u00e1 el momento adecuado para comenzar a escribir la doctrina b\u00edblica de los ni\u00f1os, y ver c\u00f3mo los ni\u00f1os responden a la lectura y el uso del recurso para construir verdades b\u00edblicas fuertes y desarrollar un sistema de creencias que los proteja contra la falsa doctrina. <\/p>

Que este a\u00f1o sea una gran temporada de cosecha. Que Dios nos use como un equipo de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n para alcanzar sus metas. Mantengo mi coraz\u00f3n centrado en Su voluntad (Mateo 18:14), porque no es la voluntad de nuestro padre celestial que ninguno de estos peque\u00f1os se pierda. <\/p>

Peticiones de oraci\u00f3n: <\/h2>

\u2022 Agradezca a Dios por los j\u00f3venes del sur de \u00c1frica que asistieron a la conferencia The Awakening para surgir y guiar apasionadamente a sus grupos a desarrollar iglesias relevantes en sus comunidades, llegando a j\u00f3venes y ni\u00f1os mientras crecen como l\u00edderes estrat\u00e9gicos. <\/p>

\u2022 Ore por el trabajo en Mauricio, y que Dios abra las mentes y los corazones para llegar a los ni\u00f1os de la comunidad en Port Lois, la capital. <\/p>

\u2022 Ore para que los plantadores de iglesias se levanten y planten m\u00e1s iglesias en Mauricio. <\/p>

\u2022 Ore por los l\u00edderes nacionales, quienes compartir\u00e1n informaci\u00f3n que har\u00e1 crecer l\u00edderes apasionados del ministerio en iglesias y crecer\u00e1n las iglesias con un enfoque en las misiones. <\/p>

Bendiciones de la temporada,<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>
