Opening the Way in Prayer

During last month we had the opportunity to present Harvesters’ Disciple Makers journey at two churches in the USA (in Atlanta as well as Vermont). Please pray for all who attended to remember what they heard from God. Pray for boldness to witness, and that these communities will continue to be transformed for the glory of God and for the salvation of many.

Please continue to pray for the churches in the Amazon as we experienced a huge outpouring of God’s Spirit with 600 baptisms and people running towards God’s salvation in recent days.

Please continue to pray with us for God’s grace and provision to reach our goal to plant 1 million churches and to train 1 million pastors and evangelise and disciple 100 million believers by 2030. All for God’s glory!

Church planting taking off in Gauteng! A new church planting movement (or Stream) was initiated early in March. Pray that God will use this church planting Stream to flood the whole province with His Good News.

We are humbled and grateful for a wonderful Disciple Makers journey that took place last weekend in Welkom, Freestate. Around 100 people signed up for this journey and many pledged to help open the way by continuing to apply the disciple makers principles in their spheres of influence. All glory to God! Please continue to pray for this movement. “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” 1 Cor. 3:6-7.

We praise God for the privilege that we could start new church planting streams in South Asia during this month. We have such great expectations for the things to come! Please keep the people of this beautiful part of the world in your prayers.

Praise God with us for the opportunity to train indigenous leaders in Midland earlier this month. Pray for the attendees to embrace God’s calling and for the Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen them as they disciple and train their communities to follow Jesus themselves and also to make more disciples.

Our friends on the island are in need of our prayers. Several large storms have made its way through the island and flooded many towns and villages. Many of our Hub Leaders and Student Pastors have been impacted by these devastating floods. Remember that every prayer makes a difference.

New church planting movements could be established in both Northern as well as Southern Malawi early this year. Thank God with us for these new “streams” and pray for our local church leaders who often face aggressive resistance to the Gospel. Pray that the power of Christ’s love will penetrate these regions and set many people free.

Early in February we had the opportunity to train 54 pastors, many of them from far away places, in Phase A (personal discipleship) of the Harvesters Bible School curriculum. The pastors were challenged to live the spiritual disciplines and also to teach them in their congregations and to the student pastors of newly planted churches.

Praise God with us for strengthening the pastors through His Holy Spirit so that they may faithfully continue their pastoral ministry in the midst of persecution, adversity, idolatry, witchcraft and Satanism.
