Since completing the 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting at Nairobi Lighthouse, at the end of January this year, I have been blessed to travel to several nations in the two months that have followed. First up, February 9th brought my departure for Suva, Fiji to minister at the incredible World Harvest Centre with Pastor Suliasi Kurulo. The weekend was extraordinary, to say the least. Took over 700 of their pastors, wives and leaders on an Encounter and also ministered a joint Sunday Missions' service, as Pr. Suli combined their English, Indian and Fijian congregations together. South America was the continent on which this amazing missions' church focused that Sunday. Here's a picture of one of their presentations. All ministry teams dressed South American style. One very special aspect of the weekend was to have a businessman and leader in Lighthouse, Gerry Rasugu, help me with ministry, especially on the Encounter. Gerry was in Fiji on business the same time I was there to serve this church.
Next I traveled to Sydney, Australia for the Global 12 Project World Zone Summit with Pastor Larry Stockstill. Our three day Summit (Feb. 17-20) with eleven of the twelve world leaders was extraordinary. In the past ten years, since coming together in this project, we have planted over 19,500 churches around the world! To God be the glory. Immediately following the Summit, I was privileged to be part of the Imaginations Missions Conference at Imaginations Church with Pastor Jack Hanes. My life is always changed at this annual event; this year was very special as many of the world zone leaders were able to stay to be part of the conference. Imaginations Church faith promised over a million Aussie dollars over the next twelve months! Thanks to Pastor Jack & Carol for hosting, first the Summit and then the incredible faith promise conference.
One of the most fulfilling trips Amy and I have made this year was the most recent of our travels to Nelspruit, South Africa. Three years ago Nairobi Lighthouse planted Pr. Alfred & Edith Wamai in Nelspruit and on March 28th, we had the great joy of officially launching Nelspruit Lighthouse. They began in a board room on the 7th floor of an office complex in the city and just a couple of months ago God blessed them with a building right in the heart of the city which they lease each Saturday & Sunday. The room was packed for the launch. Over five nations were represented at this extraordinary event and at the end, Pr. Alfie & Edith had arranged for everyone to share a 'Braai' (BBQ) together. We are so proud of the Wamais and those who have joined them from NLC to help them get rolling.
The same Sunday we were at Nelspruit Lighthouse, the pastors of Nairobi Lighthouse launched an extraordinary 6 point strategy to raise Kshs. 120 Million ($US 1.5 million) over the next three months to buy our building here in Nairobi. More on this in the next post but for now, you should check out the following video of the pastors 'throwing it down' in a special dance the Sunday we launched the strategy.
