Maasai Vocational Training Center Update 5

David Copeland April 2, 2010 3:16 pm

We have completed our first week of training for pastors at the Maasai Vocational Training Center in Kilgoris Kenya. I thank David Memusi for allowing us to use Maasai Christian Academic Centre as the venue for the training.

We have had 21 pastors register and attend every session this week. And what a week it has been! It sounds like a broken record, but I have never seen so many hungry pastors who will literally suck the life of God right out of you! These men and women of God sat in a class type setting for almost ten (that's right almost 10) hours a day, engaged, discussing, taking notes, laughing, crying, shouting, repenting, interceding, and rejoicing at all God is doing in their land and the knowledge of the Word they are receiving.

The discussion this morning for over three hours was on the difference between temptation, testing and trials. Temptation is the pressure to do wrong; testing is the application of the information God has given us to do right; and a trial is evidence satan brings against us to accuse us to failure; but Jesus is standing as our lawyer declaring our innocence!

Already word has gotten out and we are being asked to take the Training into other parts of Kenya and into Tanzania and even a strong request to come to Burundi. It has nothing to do with us; it has everything to do with a hunger and thirst in men and women of God all around the world to have everything God wants for them and they are willing to endure anything to receive it.

According to what we have been told by the Maasai pastors fellowship in Kilgoris, 85% of the pastors in these parts are not affiliated with any major denomination and have had no access to any Bible training. In these parts of the world as the pastor goes, so goes a village. If we can encourage, equip and impart fresh faith and anointing into just one of these men, who knows that he might be the person who wins the very last soul to Christ! And an entire village could be saved.

Thank you to all our partners all over the world! Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed in heaven. May all of you have a wonderful Resurection Celebration this Sunday.

HE IS RISEN!
