I just read a post by Annie B. Jones that said, \u201cI almost always come limping into Advent, desperate for the light, but almost too tired to look for it. Then I remember: The Light came looking for me, and that\u2019s the whole point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is the Light who came for us that you are sending to the world. Here is a testimony from the Malawi of one who received the Light and has now brought the Light to their world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/D565C521-E3DE-4598-BA10-0F61A8BE578F.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5935  alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/D565C521-E3DE-4598-BA10-0F61A8BE578F.jpeg\" alt=\"Children's ministry workers\" width=\"182\" height=\"154\" \/><\/a>This picture was taken 11 years ago in a village called Misesa, Malawi. In the picture are Robert and Daniel (both in red shirts). These are children\u2019s ministry workers who trained in Malawi and are still serving God\u2019s Word to the children today. Read their story about bringing the Light to their world.<\/p>\n<p>Robert is volunteering today as a spiritual outreach coordinator with Cure Children\u2019s Hospital, reaching 100 kids per week with the Gospel. After corrective surgery, the kids return to their village evangelized, discipled, and equipped with resources to bring the Gospel and Word of God to their families and friends to impact their village. Even their care givers are trained and equipped to preach and teach. Can you see them all take the Light to their world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/5D7FBFE3-7CD0-4436-AA45-FF6612152064.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5934  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/5D7FBFE3-7CD0-4436-AA45-FF6612152064.jpeg\" alt=\"Althea and a Children's ministry worker\" width=\"173\" height=\"231\" \/><\/a>Daniel is burdened with God\u2019s dream for Malawi to win all kids for Christ. He is now based at the border village of Mwanza. He started with kids in his area by teaching them in preschool, a weekly club, and in Sunday school. Daniel also has a desire to attend the Children\u2019s Ministry Institute in South Africa. He and Towera, who is now the Malawi PHC National Children\u2019s Ministry Leader, are ready with their passports and registration. They will be leaving Malawi mid-January 2024 for three months to complete their diploma in Children\u2019s Ministry. When I met Daniel in 2010, he spoke a very broken English while attending the first class of training in child evangelism. Today, he is fluent in English and has completed all certificate courses in children\u2019s ministry, Bible school, and now pastoring as well. My heart is blessed by the development of the ministry workers equipped to serve God\u2019s children and, in turn, taking the Light to their world.<\/p>\n<p>2023 has been a year of impact on the nations in Southern Africa. Through supporting this ministry, the Light will be taken to all the 16 nations we are targeting by January 2026. Just imagine kids being mobilized in all these nations, singing praises, worship, and declarations of God in their own language. Kids are learning about the next steps in missions and how to pray for the unreached people groups. These are global events kids are participating in to have a global impact as they take the Light to their world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/pic-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5936  aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/pic-3.jpg\" alt=\"children praying\" width=\"275\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2024 the following nations will experience learning to grow their children\u2019s ministry development. Training will be presented in January in Eswatini, February in Botswana, April in Tanzania, May in Malawi, June\/July in Madagascar, Mauritius, and Rodriquez, and August in Mozambique. Other countries still need to respond to a date suitable for them. Pray for Burundi and KwaZulu-Natal dates to fall into place. Countries that still need to open the door to planning a training time are Zambia and Zimbabwe. Pray for persons of peace to arise as representatives for the IPHC in Lesotho, Namibia, Seychelles, and Comoros so we can share the Light of the world with them.<\/p>\n<p>A special breakfast on Christmas day will be served to over 100 street kids while hearing the Christmas Story in Malawi. Chichewa Bibles will be handed out and a blessing spoken over the kids for the coming year while asking God to meet all their needs.<\/p>\n<p>It is your support that helps send the Light.

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><\/p><p> En el Hospital Ortop\u00e9dico Infantil Cure en Blantyre-Malawi, los ni\u00f1os escucharon una lecci\u00f3n sobre el tema, &quot;Cristo naci\u00f3 para salvarme&quot; 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><\/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><\/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><\/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><\/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><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><h2> Peticiones de oraci\u00f3n: <\/h2><p> \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><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><p> \u2022 Ore para que los plantadores de iglesias se levanten y planten m\u00e1s iglesias en Mauricio. <\/p><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><p> <em><strong>Bendiciones de la temporada,<\/strong><\/em> <\/p><p> <em><strong>Althea<\/strong><\/em> <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","author_name":"Althea Meyer","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/5D7FBFE3-7CD0-4436-AA45-FF6612152064-e1706565364852.jpeg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-1xH","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
