Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
³ The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
... Isa 60:1-3

As the sun sets over Kinshasa ...
... it marks the beginning of the 2^nd Visionaries Convention of Kinshasa ...
a Convention of Visionary African Missionaries ...
... with a mission in Africa, for Africa, by Africa ...
... not only to reach and touch Africa ...
... not only to turn the heart of Africans around ...
But ... to empower Africans by the Holy Spirit ...
... to reach and evangelise the WORLD!

Another new vision?
No!
... but the responding to ...
... the very heart of God ...

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
as some count slackness,
but is longsuffering toward us,
not willing that any should perish
but that all should come to repentance.
... 2 Peter 3:9

... and the reality of Jesus' words to us ...

By this My Father is glorified,
that you bear much fruit;
so you will be My disciples.
... IJohn 15:8

Therefore, unless we the Church, respond to ...
... and act upon the vision God has for mankind ...
God's glory will not manifest ...
... and ...
Jesus will not return!

And what is the fullness of that vision?
That ...

just as He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame
before Him in love,
... Eph 1:4

That man would dwell in God's presence ...
... where He can shower man with His goodness, His love ...
... FOREVER ...

Such is the heart of Apostle Philippe Mutombo of Kinshasa ...
... and all of those who have joined themselves with him ...
TO GO ... & ... TO DO

And they went out and preached everywhere,
the Lord working with them
and confirming the word
through the accompanying signs. Amen.
... Mark 16:20

For only as we GO ...
... can God DO ...
... what He promised to do ...

Then He said to His disciples,
"The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest
... to send out laborers into His harvest."
... Matt 9:37-38

KINSHASA ... R.D.C.

Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of Congo ...
... has in the past few years, due to the civil war in the country ...
... grown to a population of around 10 million people.

Kinshasa is probably a good reflection of life in Africa today,
... the people masses and overcrowding ...

... the lack and poverty, the needs and problems ...

... but also the opportunities ...
... to reach out and touch the lives of people ...
... for God!

2^nd Visionaries Convention of Kinshasa ...

This convention poster was pasted up everywhere ...
... so much so that even people in the streets greeted me ...
"Bon Jour Pasteur"

... that was flattering ...

But what made the trip to Kinshasa & the Convention great ...
... was the openess of the people & in particular the pastors ...
... to hear and to receive God's Word ...

Through ASMOVIC, who arranged the convention,
and the contacts made with other pastors
from the Congo and neighbouring countries ...
... valuable connections ...
... for the use and spreading
of the Covenant Disciples Bible Courses, were made ...

Already some pastors are intent on doing the course,
and a number of invitations have been made ...
... to introduce and host the Bible Courses ...

* * * * * * *

Thank you once again ...
... to all of you who are supporting us and standing with us ...
Remember, it’s those prayers and continued support that make it possible for us to reach the pastors & people, to touch and change their lives … forever !
It truly is GOOD soil that we are sowing into ...
... and I believe for an ever increasing harvest!
Halleluja

Pastors are constantly signing up and many have already completed the Foundation Courses ...
But ... many thousands more still need to be reached ...
And ...
To be able to reach all those pastors (and their churches) in the towns and villages of Africa ...
... we not only need Bibles, Bible Courses, material and opportunity to go there ...
... we also need equipment and facilities ...

We have a number of pastors ...
... in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana and Zimbabwe ...
... who are going out into remote villages and mountain areas ...
... where there is little or no transport or other public facilities of any kind ...
And although they are given food and a place to sleep ...
They urgently need help with transport, basic equipment and facilities ...
and ofcourse teaching material and Bibles to distribute.

We would like to increase our support to them in their ministry ...

Would you like to help us provide and support them?

And my God shall supply all your need
... according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:19

So, Bishop Ndawona invited me to Zimbabwe ...
That ... will make a difference!

Our mission at Covenant Ministries is ...
... to lead both Christians and sinners into a personal,
love relationship in Covenant with God and their fellow man (1 John 4:20)
Our mission field ... John 4:35-38, Matt 28:18-20 ...
... the Body of Christ, our neighbourhood and the World!
Standing in the middle of Israel, Jesus said ...
... Look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest ...
... Go therefore and make disciples ... teaching them to observe ...

In accomplishing our mission, we provide ...
... Free ... Online Bible Courses, Devotionals and Studies, Teachings and Resources,
to touch and build the lives of people all over the world
and to bring them into a love relationship with God and their fellowmen.
... Bible Courses and Teaching material to Pastors and leaders in underprivileged areas all over the world,
such as Africa, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, South America, Jamaica, Eastern Europe ... etc.
to equip them to touch the lives of the people in their own areas.

To (fully) accomplish our mission we need ...
... Your help and support in prayer and in finances ...
For the ministry to grow and fulfill its mission, more time, effort and resources are required,
which in turn necessitates more support and more finances.

God Bless you all for this wonderful bible study!
I have been a Christian for some time, but this really helped me to understand things better than ever before.
The way you continue to put in verses really helped me remember them and apply them to my life! THANK YOU !
