Dear Brethren in Christ & Partners in the Great Commission,
We just received an update from Pastor Benard Okello, an Elijah Challenge Coordinator in Africa. Pastor Benard was trained in September 2007 by American missionary Butch Berner. After that Benard himself began teaching The Elijah Challenge to other servants of God in Africa. Here is his update:
“It has been a long time since I gave a report on what God is doing through us. We bless God for his goodness. We had a good meeting with pastors from Tanzania and the Kenyan border with Pastor David Kubarashia from Uganda. We did the Elijah Challenge Training for the pastors after which we held crusades. We indeed saw [the glory of] God. The host pastor called me last night telling me how God had increased their church and how he had no time because people were flocking to his church in need of Jesus and healing. I indeed know that our God [will not allow us to be put to shame]. We are organizing another meeting in Mwaza, Tanzania with Tanzanian pastors before I travel to join you in Nigeria early next month. The town where we are going to hold the meeting is dominated by the “religion of peace” but I am encouraged by the newsletter you sent me about them.”

Let us rejoice, dear partners, for the Lord is fulfilling his promise in John 14:12—his disciples are doing the works that he did when he was on earth!
Sincerely in Christ,
William
