November Global Update

Dear Faithful Friends and Ministry Partners,

John 8:32 says; “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
We are often asked, “Why has our ministry grown so rapidly in so many countries?” I would have to say God has blessed us because we have tried to be faithful to teach God’s Word and the Spirit of God takes the Word of God and enables people to apply it to their lives. This brings freedom and changed lives! 2 Corinthians 5:17 says; “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” NIV

Clair Zoilkowski Director of Beautiful Feet Min. (Partners of DCI in Zambia) Shares about his trip to Mfuwe region in Zambia. (Simeon sent Michael from Nairobi, Kenya to conduct the DCI Training.) “After 2 days of meetings, it is evident that God’s hand is moving in a mighty way! The first day was amazing – about 250 attended the conference – Pastors, Deacons, Elders, Teachers, Apostles from United and Reformed Churches and a Bishop from the local Anglican Church. When the invitation to accept Christ as personal Savior was presented – about 40 people responded! Isn’t that amazing? The Bishop from the Anglican Church was very pleased with the teachings. God has opened the doors wide to use these conferences to reach the leaders of many churches in this region – can you imagine the impact this will have on those church congregations!! How exciting!

Clair was thoroughly exhausted when he called at the end of the day, but so filled with joy! He was so looking forward to the next day’s meeting. He said the only thing that could delay the conference was the migrating elephant herd that was expected to come through the village. When this happens, EVERYONE seeks shelter in their huts or homes – you don’t want to get in their way! Thankfully, the elephants did not wander through that day, but the heat was in the mid 40’s – Clair said it was hard to breathe.”

Clair also reported that; “Wednesday night, Shawn did the Gospel presentation at this village with about 400 people attending. Here is what he said on Facebook: Had an amazing time last couple days here in Zambia. We showed the Jesus film to a village last night under a beautiful full moon. Approximately 150 people gave their lives to Jesus following the film and gospel presentation!

Pastor Wilson and I were allowed into the prison and shared the gospel with and encouraged approximately 200 inmates. About 170 responded to the gospel and asked Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. Now these new followers of Jesus in prison are FREER than many people who are not in prison!

Thursday night’s meeting was at a smaller village – 150 people attended, BUT almost 100 of these people accepted Christ! Almost the entire village is now following Jesus!! The people attending were so excited and happy, and even more so when they learned that there would be a Bible Study for them to attend the following morning – God is so Good!”

Hans and Elly Timmermans (Malawi): They shared what God is doing in Malawi at several meetings across Western Canada. The 2 men who lead the ministry there, report that the ministry is growing spontaneously now! In January they had about 1,200 – 1,500 Groups. Now they say there are about 2,000 groups that average 30 people = 60,000 people meeting each week to study God’s word the Bible, learn how to live the Abundant Life as God intended and reach out to their friends and family. They have also had 40,000 people go through our One-to-One Discipling.

Simeon Oyugi (Kenya) says: Every day Pastors are equipping their people who are sharing the gospel and discipling those who receive Jesus Christ. Discovery Groups are reproducing (up to 10 or more generations of groups). At present 8 of the 25 African countries we work in need printed DCI materials to equip more of their people to train the many people who are coming to Jesus Christ. The cost for this printing is $5,000 which is due now.

Several DCI Training Workshops are planned to equip more churches in Kenya through this month and up to Christmas. When Simeon recently received materials from the printer some of the Kenyan Pastors who had people waiting to be trained were wanting it so much that they came to Simeon’s home to pick-up the DCI Training books.

Pastor Joseph is from Soweto, South Africa and has a heart for One-to-One Discipleship and who also does Prison Ministry. Joseph may become our new DCI leader for South Africa.

Remember to pray for these dear men and women of God!

David Benjamin – “Business as Ministry” Trip to India and Thailand: David just returned and is very encouraged by the welcome response from a growing number of leaders and young professionals who are showing interest. What we began on the trip to Bangkok and India last year is expanding! This new strategy is designed to do in the marketplace what we are doing through the Churches. These men and women are wanting to be equipped to reach their associates.

James Angihan and a team from Calgary are in Northern Philippines: They are there to encourage the DCI Team (now 10 DCI Trainers) and to complete the building project that they have been working on for several years. It is already being used to equip Pastors and Church leaders for various ministries in local churches. Pray for the team.
God is Investing in People – Setting them free – Changes their Lives (and those around them)!!

Please Pray! Many of you invest time to pray for us every day! Thank you for that! Prayer is the most powerful thing you can do to change our world. Pray that God will raise up leaders who are committed to reach out into their communities and for the needed finance to enable them to do so.

Please Donate! I am asking you to join us as we partner with God by making a $100, $200 or $500 year-end investment or add 10% to your monthly giving, to provide the resources the DCI Staff and Trainers need to equip more people.
If you are encouraged by these Global Reports, but are not yet giving, we would love to have you become our partners. Any amount – large or small – would be greatly appreciated!
