Align for Harvest:<\/strong><\/span> Is this our mission in this season? Definitely! There is an urgency in my heart to coach, mentor, and develop leaders to discover their role in the Great Commission and be equipped for it. My goal is to prepare them for dynamic children\u2019s ministry work in the post COVID era while leading children to be engaged in missions and prayer. Thank you for being a part of this ministry, serving as a team. This year, I am enrolled with KidMin Academy Excel Course online to develop as a coach and mentor. This course will help me to become more successful in preparing for effective ministry in the post COVID era. Your prayers and support throughout my serving term on the field is reflecting great faithfulness and commitment to the Great Commission. I thank God for you.<\/p>\n

Specifically, I thank God for the Reed family, who has stepped in as the strategic seed sowers to impact students in Africa, developing strategic leaders. We now have two students from Malawi who are attending the Children\u2019s Ministry Institute in Zambia. They will receive their diploma to be equipped national leaders to lead children\u2019s ministry work in Malawi.<\/p>\n

\"Kaduya<\/a>

Kaduya and Robert<\/p><\/div>\n

Rev. Chimwemwe Kaduya and Robert Kaphamtengo are learning well and will be in Zambia for three months, doing intensive training and becoming trainers of trainers. I believe God handpicked these two leaders. Brother Kaduya was dropped off with one suitcase at the Mwanza border between Malawi and Mozambique in 2006. His assignment was to plant a church, and he accomplished it very well. Seven years later, I picked him up with his wife and six children. He was voted to assist the national leader and with the needs at Guthrie Bible Training Centre. He needed to move to Blantyre to accomplish these tasks. He has served at the school since 2013 and was appointed as the national children\u2019s ministry leader last year.<\/p>\n

Robert is the son of the eldest church member of the PHC in Malawi. Robert desires to study law, and he is still hoping to raise his school fees since he had to drop out after two years in law school. He began teaching at a school and was appointed as the assistant to Rev. Kaduya. Keep them in prayer as they learn and plan the way forward for effective ministry development in Malawi. Also, pray that they will build a well-equipped teaching team to multiply teachers and for the building capacity to reach more children. In the picture, Rev. Kaduya is on the right and Robert on the left. Keep them in your prayers.<\/p>\n

Thank God with us that even amid COVID and keeping the rules, 40 students enrolled in the Sunday School Teacher\u2019s Training, hosted by the City Pentecostal Church in Blantyre. This training will run from June to August. During this training, Child Evangelism Fellowship Teaching Team will help Sunday school teachers develop their own lessons to present a dynamic lesson hour, ministering to both unsaved and saved children. They will also be trained to bring children to the application of God\u2019s Word during the Sunday School hour. This training is presented for free, thanks to every supporter.<\/p>\n

In January, Movement for African National Initiatives sent me an invitation to volunteer as a coordinator for Southern Africa through the executive director of the Children in Mission Network. My role was to assist in seeing children restored and active in God\u2019s mission. This platform has allowed me to use my experience and voice to impact more children\u2019s workers, share resources, mentor, and coach them as effective leaders for children in Africa.<\/p>\n

\"Prayer<\/a>

Prayer Day Activities<\/p><\/div>\n

On the first assignment, I volunteered as coordinator for the region of Southern Africa with the team goal to mobilize 1,000 children to pray for the Unreached People Groups on the Global Day of Prayer for Children, which was planned for July 19. The prayer day was also running on the Zoom platform for 12 hours. Each country that participated worked with their children\u2019s prayer teams and took part in the prayer day nationwide, where their groups could meet via Zoom. The coordinating work was done through WhatsApp, which worked very well as a means of communication in Africa, as well as for mobilizing coordinators nationally to join and lead children\u2019s prayer groups in their homes, churches, areas, schools, etc.<\/p>\n

During the process, from the day I participated to the prayer day, a flood of excitement rushed through my heart. Observing the participation of the children flooded my eyes with streaming tears and deep thoughts of what could be happening in Heaven\u2019s throne room. I kept on seeing a vision of a very pleased smile on God\u2019s face. This prayer thrust is intended to bring an urgent activity to alert and to help children engage more in missions and prayer for missions. The WhatsApp groups remain open as a leadership training platform to coach and mentor children\u2019s workers to another level of effectiveness. This will help to share more resources and bring great encouragement to prepare ourselves for His greater work.<\/p>\n

At the Cure International Children\u2019s Orthopedic Hospital in Blantyre, we have an open door for ministry as a children\u2019s ministry team. Now, 20-30 children come in for corrective surgery each week. This allows for the opportunity to reach, teach, and minister to each child.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of the supporters who are sending funds towards the project for Children\u2019s Bibles in Chichew. Because of your generosity, we can send these Bibles with kids to their home villages where we cannot go. With the Bibles, we have Chichewa Gospel Tracts for kids to read themselves and get to know God. When these kids come back for check-ups, it gives an opportunity for follow-up work. Pray for full-time workers serving in this hospital with the children, Mayamiko and Thandi.<\/p>\n

\"Althea,<\/a>

Althea, Christian, & Lily<\/p><\/div>\n

June 5 was a special day. I was able to have my youngest two grandchildren, Christian and Lily, with me in Malawi for a Birthday lunch. It was a special day loving on these two who are so fond of each other. Christian came to visit Malawi since they moved to Mauritius in 2019. This move happened just in time for Nanna (me) to have a place to stay in Mauritius while training children\u2019s workers in the furthest islands on the east coast of Africa. The PHC churches in that area will have a conference in November, and God willing, we will meet the leaders of the Island PHC Churches then. Keep this event in prayer, as I keep you in prayer as part of this ministry work.<\/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>
