Dear Faithful Reader & Partner,
Our new Church year began with our Mission Convention in July with our Father, God alerting us to a gaping hole in our chase to fulfill the all-important Great Commission assignment in our Church’s mission. The Lord gave us a theme message from Psalm 71:18:
Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come.
Our new Senior Pastor, Rev’d Julius Msheliza blazed the trail and outlined the enormity of the gap before us when he stated that the Great Commission of Christ to “make disciples” was given to the whole people of God and includes every age-group (Matt. 28:19). He emphasised the highly ignored price we must pay to reach the generations for Christ. We can only reach them if we are willing like our Lord and Master Jesus, to lay down our lives appropriately also for the generations to come.
It was clearly communicated throughout the month, that:
- We are part of something larger—that existed long before we did—that was passed down to us (Deut. 32:7);
- We are part of something that God is doing now—that will continue long after we are gone (Luke 1:50).
- And yet, reaching generations for Christ is not automatic (Judges 2:10), and we must not drop the baton.
The Great Commission encapsulates our spiritual Heritage, and as aptly captured by the Navigators founder, Dawson Trotman, “the Gospel spread to the known world during the first century without the benefit of mass media because the early disciples “produced men who were reproducing”—producing spiritual generations of disciples who passed on their spiritual heritage and trained others to do the same.” Moreover, according to Robert Coleman, “the test of any work of missions and evangelism is not what is seen at the moment but in the effectiveness with which the work continues into the next generation”
Our Bible Studies for the month helped us to wonder why God chose Abraham to be the father of His chosen people. The scriptures gave us only one, but thorough answer in Genesis 18:17–19
And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, “since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? “For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” NSFLB
“For I know Him” was God’s response to His choice. If this was the single reason for God choosing Abraham, we concluded, it should speak loudly to how important it should be for us, His church!
In God’s charge to Abram in Genesis 17:6-8, He communicated Himself as God of the generations by saying to Abram, “I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
We found God our Father very direct, in His generational charge – I am making you fruitful Abram, and from generation to generation I will be the God of the people.
God sees our lives in the context of the big picture. His purpose and plan are greater than any individual and continues from generation to generation. Yet somehow, culturally, we have not fully embraced this Kingdom reality and because of that we have left a big gap in, and have been very ‘weak’ at cross-generational discipling.
While we may be deeply caring parents and grandparents, most of us feel at a loss for how to connect with our children or grandchildren about the topic of missions, and Jesus’ overarching command to share the Gospel to all creation.
What this means for us as followers of Jesus is that every child should be considered far more than a child. Every child is first and foremost a potential or actual brother or sister in Christ. Whatever ‘children’ we manage to take to eternal glory, they will not stand beside us as our children or as our students. They will stand beside us because and only because they have become our brothers and sisters, “heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ”. This truth introduces a radical new dimension to how we view children, and the comparative proportion of our resources we devote to their spiritual upbringing.
Every child is an eternal soul whose days will long outlast the rise and fall of all the kingdoms of the earth. They and their children and their children’s children will fly ever so briefly across the face of this earth before being swept away into eternity (James 4:14). If these children become our brothers and sisters in Christ, their days upon this earth are preparatory for glory that will never end.
That’s why our primary purpose for the children that we educate in our homes and churches must not be anything as small and miserable as earthly success.
Our purpose should be to leverage children’s lives to advance God’s kingdom so that every tribe, every nation, and every people-group gains the opportunity to respond in faith to the rightful King of kings.
Friends, I celebrate all of you, missionaries and partners who labour in this vineyard to ensure the gospel gets to the generations! Thanks for joining us online during our Mission Convention & Conference. We shall report on this in our August edition!
Maranatha!

“It’s good work you’re doing, helping these travellers on their way, hospitality worthy of God himself! They set out under the banner of the Name, and get no help from unbelievers. So, they deserve any support we can give them. In providing meals and a bed, we become their companions in spreading the Truth.”

Dear Brethren,
We celebrate and thank you always for your prayers and support that keep the work here in Indonesia going. Your labour in prayers for us is already yielding results. This is evident in the six baptism we had this month. Worthy of note is the fact that two of the baptism was in the life of 3rd and 4th generation believers. The Lord is helping us to entrust the gospel to the next generation. We pray that God will grant you grace to continue to support the work.
Covid19 once again hit Indonesia hard. Hospitals are full, many has died, people are looking for ways to survive. We feel like we live in an uncertainty. Despite this problem, our team was able to spread the good news. Last month (June) we had 14 baptisms. These baptisms happen in the area where there are none believers, we returns thanks to God. Even with the current situation (hardship) we still press forward in advancing the work of the Kingdom.
This week we trained about 12 young people in Central Sulawesi who are keen to learn discipleship making movement (DMM). We will walk alongside with them to reach out to their friends and communities in Central Sulawesi. We have also upgraded the training for our MBBs leaders to make them more effective in reaching out to their neighbours.
We have several people that we follow up using social media (a new way of evangelism and discipleship). Through this medium several people accepted Jesus Christ and requested to be baptized. We are preparing a suitable time for them since there location is 5 hours away from where our workers live.
Dear friends, we thank you for your prayer and support. Despite the Covid-19 situation that increase in Java, we managed to continue training and ministry in other areas in which the Covid-19 Pandemic didn’t affect so much. We really need wisdom and guidance from God in doing this.
Pray with us
Brethren, we solicit your prayers as commence work in seven different places in South Sulawesi, west Sulawesi and NTB. We also need your payers as we engage in 9 new UPGs (some are UUPG). Please pray that the Lord will prepare the workers and that the ground may be softened before we go there. We ask that you also pray that the Lord will bring the people to meet with Him. Please:
- Pray for our health. Even though where we live is still considered safe from covid-19, but we have people travelling to Java where the pandemic hit hard
- Pray for the people who already accepted Jesus in their lives, may they continue to grow in their faith and multiply
- Pray there will be more people to share the Gospel in these hard areas (areas where there are no believers)
- Give thanks to the Lord for the people who have come to the faith. Let’s rejoice together with our God and all the angels for all these open doors.
- Pray so the Lord prepares the workers, and may the ground be softened before we go there.
- Pray the Lord will bring the workers to meet the person of peace in those new areas.
We see opportunities coming our ways even though the Pandemic is seriously affecting some areas and hindering the work. We do not want to lose the opportunities and so, we solicit your prayers. Please pray for us that we will have God’s wisdom to continue to be effective during this hardship.
Shalom

MISSIONARY REPORT FROM ABIDJAN COTE D’IVOIRE
FOR JULY 2021
Dear Brethren,
We bring you greetings from Abidjan. We thank God for your support and the work He is doing in our midst.
Our team is following up on five families, teaching them on our “Identity in Christ”. We are also following up on three other people. We have also continued our Church Evangelism where we invite non-Christians to the Church for our Sunday Meetings to learn about Jesus. We also reach out to people through the distribution of Gospel tracks. We have continued to reach the children using the “Super Book” films, teachings, and prayer sessions.
We solicit your prayer for the street children, that the Lord will open their hearts to gospel. Please pray particularly for two of brothers among them who have committed to the Lord. One of the brothers, who through repeated illness and lack of work has remain faithful to the Lord. Please pray for him and his brother, who is learning to repair a ventilator in a village. Let us pray that God will strengthen these two brothers and keep them faithful to the Lord and those other men who live in the streets will come to the Lord.
We started a “Good News” club for the children of ANONO, a village full of children. The club started with 40 kids and our number keeps increasing with each meeting. Two instructors run the club every Saturday of the week. At our 2nd meeting we shared the gifts from Operation Christmas Child which is distributed by Samaritan’s purse. We also follow up on the children with their “Le Plus Grand Voyage” manual. This manual is a 12-lesson discipleship program designed to help children ages 3 to 14 come to know Jesus and follow him every day and to share this good news with others. Let us bless the Lord for some children who have given their lives to the Lord and pray that they will grow in the Lord.
To God be the glory for the testimonies He is giving us. Thank you for making yourself available to support the work. Through your donations, we have been able to carry out the assignment God has placed in our hands. May, God bless you and may He receive all the glory forever and ever. Amen

MISSIONARY REPORT FROM KENYA FOR JULY 2021
FROM GARISSA, KENYA
Dear Friends,
May God bless you for your labour and support for us through prayers, finances and advises. Thank you for availing yourself to be used by God.
MINISTRY ACTIVITIES
By the grace of God, I have been teaching church members about mission, making them understand that every true born again Christian should be ready and bold to spread the gospel of Christ. And taking upon ourselves as duty to reach them on phone, to encourage them, and to set a time for prayers for all those who have been infected with the Covid-19 virus for divine healing.
Glory to God for my team, as their faith keeps growing daily and maturing. Daily we see a positive change in their character. They now have the boldness to reach out to their fellow brethren with the gospel of faith. My desire is to see them standing strong in the faith, many others coming to Christ as well as MMBs reaching their own in a matured way.
PRAYER REQUEST
Pray that I will be able to get work permit since the current ones are almost getting expired, that I will find favour with the Government when renewing them. Pray that God will provide all the required resources in terms of money to be able to renew them.

PICTURES FROM GARISSA, KENYA

Dear Brethren,
Besides following up with our Muslim friends, God has opened another door for ministry in school through the Christian Union. I am privileged to be leading a discipleship class with newly born-again students. During the stated period we did not have the opportunity to preach except during our son’s birthday where we shared the word briefly from the book of Jeremiah 1:4-10. We had invited our neighbors all of whom are not born again. We believe that by exercising our faith in God, we can influence them to follow Christ. Our children have been sick in the month of June. We prayed for their healing and are thankful to God that they are now well. My uncle was sick but is now doing better and we continue to trust God for his full recovery.
God gave me the privilege of joining up with missionaries in Garissa for the missionaries’ retreat that was held in one of the mission stations in Tana River County. It was a great time of fellowship and unwinding. I was also privileged to collect data for World Watch List 2022 focusing on persecution in Northeastern Kenya and Northern Coast Kenya. During the said time I had opportunity to fellowship with three persecuted believers who were formerly Muslims.
I desired to visit Garissa and meet fellow missionaries and my Muslim friends. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 Nairobi and other five counties bordering it were put on lockdown and so it was practically impossible to visit Garissa under the lockdown conditions. Luckily, I found an alternative route to get to Garissa. Though an expensive trip, God made provisions for all I needed including benevolence towards friends. He provided for all my upkeep and benevolence towards friends through a short contract I secured to collect data for World Watch List 2022.
Prayer Request
One thing I learned from that, is that God indeed answers prayer and honors the desire of people’s hearts. It has been a time of transition into a new ministry area. As we venture, we trust God for lasting fruit and impact in Garissa though we are away. Please:
- Thank God with us for provision and sustenance in the reporting quarter.
- Thank God with us for the time that we had praying with Muslims and especially those of them who are our friends as they observed the month of Ramadan. We trust God for fruit among the Muslims in our country and other parts of the world.
- Pray for God to continue to bless our ministry activities and expand and establish us even further.
- Pray for God’s leading and guidance as we prepare to have our son start school.
- Pray for good health for our children who have been affected by the ostensibly cold weather given that they had been used to hot weather in Garissa.
Outlook
We trust God to continue serving among students as we teach in the schools. My heart is set to continue with the discipleship sessions that I have started with girls who got saved in the month of June 2021. We are trusting God to continue mobilizing for cross-cultural ministry as we also support those serving cross culturally.
God bless you at OmegaProject2 and the entire Foursquare Gospel Church, Asokoro. As you refresh so many missionaries in the different parts of the world where you have presence, may God refresh you as well.

MISSIONARY REPORT FROM NIGERIA FOR JULY 2021
Greetings from Ile-Ife,
We give thanks to the almighty God who has preserved our lives from all the various dangers prevalent in our Country in this season. May His glorious name be forever praised.
Community Evangelism:
Due to the insecurity presently witnessed in our Country we are the more challenged to be up and doing so that we can be able to deliver many lives from the hands of the hoodlums by the Power of the gospel.
Missions.
The Diaspora Missions holds every Thursday from 8:00 to 9:30am apart from the Thursday when we go for selected community Outreach. Personal Witnessing continues individually with Visitation to families or individuals. We use portable Visual Aids to share the gospel message by short videos which serve as Conversation starters.
The Monthly Prayers and Intercessions holds on the second Sundays on the platform on Intercessors for Nigeria which resumed earnestly since February. God has been helping us since then.
Missions Awareness and Mobilizations.
To establish Missions Awareness among Christian Youths we the Ministry (Christian Missionary Foundation) has an annual Youth Conference which holds in most Towns and Cities in the South and North Central. For Ile-Ife we started in 2018 and was held in 2019. However, in 2020, we did not hold conference due to the Covid-19 Pandemic restrictions prevented physical gathering. We give thanks to the Lord who gave us good audience and weather on the Saturday 1st of May 2021 for another edition of the program. We had Short- Term Mission School (SMS) in the second week of May at Ondo Town while we were preparing to hold the Ile-Ife edition of the conference in conjunction with the Christian Association of Nigeria.
Each of the Sundays have been dedicated to Mission Awareness and Mobilization either by making a first contact or by making a re- visit to a Church Congregation. God gave us an open door of ministrations in Well of Salvation Oke-Ogbo Village on the 13th of June and at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Throne of Mercy, Cooker Adewoyin.
Testimony
We give thanks to the Almighty God for His ever-abiding presence by which we kept from any form of attacks in all of our Outreaches.
We also give thanks to God for giving good understanding of the Vision. Thanks be to God who brings more people to join the team. Thank God for the members of the team who are committed to Prayers.
God gave us a man among them who has committed himself to see the success of the work. He is like our eyes among the Hausa speaking people
Thank you for your prayers and support. May God reward you all.

Parsee in Iran
Zoroaster was a Parsee, said to be born between 1,200 and 1,500 BC in northeast Iran. He rejected the polytheistic worship of his culture and believed in worshipping only the creator God (Ahura Mazda), and he believed that Angra Mainyu (the devil) caused people to commit evil deeds. He believed that when people died, they would go to heaven or hell. They keep a fire burning in their temples as a symbol of Ahura Mazda’s wisdom, brightness and power. Their scriptures are the Avesta, which contains doctrines, hymns and prayers. The magi and Persian kings like Cyrus and Darius were probably believers in Ahura Mazda. Today Parsees who live in Iran, primarily in Tehran, experience persecution that has forced many to worship in secret.
Ministry Obstacles
It is hard to reach someone who is hiding. Zoroastrian followers are often isolated and do not identify themselves for fear of persecution from the Shia Muslim majority.
Outreach Ideas
Strong friendship between Iranian Parsees and followers of Christ can potentially develop trust and allow believers to share what faith in the resurrected Christ can do for all of us.
Scripture Focus
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5
Scripture Prayer
Pray for the Lord to thrust out many prophets from every nation to every nation in the 2020s.
Prayer Focus
Pray for a powerful movement to Christ among Iran’s Parsees. Pray for Iranian believers to reach out to their Parsee neighbors.

Saturday 7 August 2021 Main Auditorium Foursquare Gospel Church Asokoro 7:00 am
