ALL HANDS-ON DECK IN THIS STORM:<\/strong> Our order is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth! The greatest tool we have is prayer! \u201cThe history of missions is the history of answered prayer.\"<\/p>\n

Dear Supporters, Prayer Warriors, and Followers of God\u2019s Mission,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warm season\u2019s greetings from Africa. Thank you for remaining committed to support and pray for the ministry work in Southern Africa. Coming to the end of 2020, there is a prominent question to ask ourselves; Did 2020 help me refocus on God and His plan and purpose for my life on earth in His mission?<\/p>\n

My focus is to be equipped to equip others to find their role in the GREAT COMMISSION and to bringing Children\u2019s Ministry work as a priority to reach a generation of WARRIORS for end-time ministry! Jesus emphasized this ministry when He asked Simon Peter this question, \u201c\u2026do you love Me?\u201d He then commanded, \u201c\u2026feed My lambs,\u201d to instruct how we should show our love. So, let\u2019s sharpen our skills and tools to pray, reach, and disciple! God will see our love for Him, indeed!<\/p>\n

While partnering, we can help others find their role in the GREAT COMMISSION as we support missions and collaborate with others to be more effective. Then, we can enlarge our camp and step onto platforms to impact more people to be involved by equipping and empowering them.<\/p>\n

This year is a season of mobilizing more prayer for the UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS (UPG), and for this, we need to be skilled ourselves, updated, and have resources in hand. Through the WhatsApp Groups coordinated by Movement for African National Initiatives, coordinators for regions and ministry groups are active and being informed and equipped to mobilize others to arise and pray for the lost in their communities and the unreached in their nations. I also joined the WhatsApp Group for Africa Women in Missions Network and African Children in Missions Network with a goal to help equip others and mobilize more of God\u2019s people to pray for the UPG and give counsel to enlarge impact and share workable strategies.<\/p>\n

The Big Story Resources<\/p><\/div>\n

In January 2020, the Malawi training was presented by Weavefamily.org called THE BIG STORY. The focus was to \u201cKnow Your Story\u201d \/ \u201cKnow His Story,\u201d and to see how God works in the area of HIS WORD, HIS WORLD, and HIS WORK. Then, training was presented online through ZOOM in September to learn how to mobilize families to pray for UPG through practicing mission habits concerning PRAYER, GOING, WELCOMING, SENDING, and MOBILIZING. The Big Story Series is free to help you, as a children\u2019s worker or parent, mobilize and engage others in praying for the UPG. This is a downloadable resource that comes in PDF format. Download the Big Story Series at https:\/\/weavefamily.org\/big-story-series\/<\/span><\/p>\n

Teaching & Evangelism Team<\/p><\/div>\n

Training sessions are about to begin in Malawi to equip children\u2019s workers in the process of developing as INSTRUCTORS OF TEACHERS. The course is presented by the Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) named Teaching Children Effectively (TCE). Be in prayer for the 20 students.<\/p>\n

The Annual Children\u2019s Workers Training session, which started in Malawi in December 2000, will take place at Guthrie Bible Training Centre again this December. Pray as this group of students comes for four sessions covering levels one through four. These levels prepare them for the CEF, TCE course, developing them from teachers to instructors of Child Evangelism. Pray for this Teaching Team.<\/p>\n

\"Bibles\"<\/a>

Bibles<\/p><\/div>\n

The outreach ministry in the International Cure Orthopedic Hospital in Blantyre resumed. Our target was to reach 20 kids in the month of November and 20 kids in the month of December. We were also prepared with kids' gospel tracts, which were translated in Chichewa and tucked-in an envelope pasted inside the Children\u2019s Chichewa Bible for the kids to read through carefully and respond. Pray over these kids who were in surgery, for the Holy Spirit to reveal and establish the truth about Jesus Christ being their Savior in their hearts.<\/p>\n

PTP Relief Giving<\/p><\/div>\n

THANK YOU, PEOPLE-TO -PEOPLE, through the RELIEF PROGRAM, we were able to assist families caring for special needs kids, orphans, and street kids in Nidande and Nyambadwe in Blantyre for the fourth month. These kids and the families received spiritual food too and are in discipleship groups to grow spiritually. Pray over them that the love and grace of God, which embraced them, will empower them to become great testifiers of HIS GREAT LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS towards them! THANK YOU, CHURCHES, AND ALL MEMBERS FOR SOWING INTO THE PTP - RELIEF PROGRAM.<\/p>\n

\"Teaching<\/a>

Teaching at Street Kids Program<\/p><\/div>\n

Christmas day will be a time to present the street kids in the safe home at STEKA HOUSE, a Christmas devotion and a breakfast bun, loaded with a bacon and egg burger. Christmas celebration songs will be sung with grateful hearts for this provision for this special morning celebrating the birth of the King of the universe. Pray with us for the good news of Christ the Savior to impact the heart of every child. More kids and helpers joined STEKA HOUSE this year, and we are prepared to feed 100 people and present children\u2019s Bibles for the newcomers to read.<\/p>\n

Thank you for giving into the ministry project accounts of Child Evangelism Africa #10004P and BIBLES #11643P.<\/p>\n

These funds helped to support all the activities on the field to effectively reach out, serve, train, equip, and develop His Kingdom workers in SOUTHEN AFRICA (16 Nations). Connect with your missions director to be directed on how to sow seed into this work.<\/p>\n

May your prayers and giving usher in many souls to be reached. Thank you for your continuous support in the midst of COVID. May God bless your families and protect them.<\/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>
