Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings to you in the Name above all names, The Name
of Jesus Christ.
It is my joy to share with you what is going on in The
Lord's Work here in CCLK - Goma, DRC.
We are glad that God helped us to end up yasterday
with the first internship for our students of the Evangelism School in
March 2, 2008.
We send them along with our teachers in differntes
Churches here in Goma, Bunyakiri and Kokola.One teacher by team.
We organized 3 Portable Bible Schools here in Goma in 3
different Churches.
In our teachings we focuced mostly on Introcution to
The Bible, Hermeneutic, Holy Life, Evangelism and Discipleship, Feeding
God's flock, Statistic for Church Growth, Bible Doctrine, Homiletic,
Relations between denominations, Training for Lay.
In Goma, 157 servantes of graduated from that program.
Most of them have been encouraged to serve God more. Others would like to go
at CCLK in September to get more teachings in our Evangelism School.
According to the Good News which was shared to the lost
during that period of time, 19 new beleivers were baptized one day before
the graduation.
I'm waiting to get report of PBS which we organized in
Bunyakiri and in Kokola - Beni.
I will let you Update when I get precision.
Know that our students are back to School of
Evangelism CCLK to continue with their program.
We will have another internship in June and July before
their Graduation.
Remember to pray for us for these issues, please:
- More people of God to be involved in supporting the
CCLK Ministry. Needs are so many.
- God's provision to build the Evangelism School in
durable materials. We would like to start that building this month if
possible. The local government has granted to us the official permission to
build.
- We need a new for the CCLK Ministry. In February we
sold our old car with the permission of the Executive Committee of CCLK. We
sold it for $3000. Additional money is needed, so that we can buy another.
- Feeding orphans and widows of Patmos Baptist Church
in Goma.
Thanks for your partnership with us.
We would like to hear from you. Send us e-mail when
you can.
May God bless you all.
Jerome,
CCLK Director
Greetings to all,
I'm so glad to wish to
all of you a Happy New year of prosperity and success.
I would like to let you
informed that I'm continue to serve as director of CCLK by God's grace.
As most of you know
already, we begun our Evangelism Training School for the year 2007 - 2008 in
Sept. 3, 2007 and we will finish in July 2008.
We have 2 couples and 6
men. In total we have 10 candidates this year.
They are few but
committed and potential. They arrived during a time when there was
some unrest around Goma town. We progressed well until December 2007 with
different courses and practices.
In our programs for the
months of January and February, we have send our students for internship.
We generally work with
local Churches.
We challenge churches
about sending team which are composed by our students and one teacher by
team. We organize a program called Portable Bible School ( PBS ) to train
Church leaders and some lay Christian how they can become more effective in
serving God how the can help to accomplish the Great Commission ( Mathew
28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2 :2 ).
God has opened 5
Churches where we are working now during this period. We have a total of 262
Church leaders who are committed to follow this training.
As you can conclude, we
have been trained only 10 students at CCLK, now from that small group the
persons they are trained are 262. That's wonderful to see how God is using
our teachers and students.
The support needed to
support one PBS for the two months is $500.
God has provided 50% of
the total amount needed until now.
We are asking God's
provision for the remaining days.
We cooperate with the
local churches. They contribute for lodges and food.
CCLK contribute for
transportation for the team, Materials and for the administration documents.
This program will take
an end in March 2, 2008, then our teams will return back to CCLK to pursue
with others courses. We will have another internship for our students in
June and July 2008 before the graduation.
What do we expected as
results from such as program?
- It mobilize the local
Churches to spread the Gospel and to make Discipleship.
- It encourage the
Pastors to have more servants to work with him.
- It helps our Ministry
to have a good occasion to recruit new candidates for our one
year program.
- It is helping CCLK to
develop more relationship and partnership with the Local Churches.
- The Evangelism is
producing more new Churches.
Pray for more faithful
servants who will be involved to serve for a lifetime.
We are limited in our
Ministry support at the moment, ask God with us for more provision.
Thanks for your
partnership with us.
In His Service,
Jerome
