Obstacles
Jan. 12, 2009
Our village is peaceful in the midst of Guinea’s uncertain future. Smoke rises in every direction in the evening because women with their girls are cooking dinner after coming from their farms. The gospel must be preached every village where this smoke rises. For that purpose, we will continue to press on.
Our boarding school in Guinea was established to raise future leaders. We are facing many obstacles. Last week, I had to endure almost 4 hours of long meeting with the department of education people. They came with many political officials and representatives from Faranah. The main issue is control. They want to control how we operate our school. They repeated many times, “We are the authority of the country.”
We won’t be able to form Christ in our students if we submit to their demands. I had to stand firm and tell them that we are a special Christian School to provide American system of education for selected students from all over Guinea. We cannot compromise in our standards and principals.
The meeting ended with making threats. They said, “We will report this to the ministry of education." Knowing them, they will make up lies about our school.
Upcoming Events & Prayer Requests: |
"Lord, change us so that we can truly change the world. We want to see your return. We will finish this task of taking our gospel to all nations and all peoples in our generation."
1581 Unreached Tribes
We researched and concluded that the most reasonable assessment is 1581 unreached tribe which was the original list of Joshua Project. Thus we devised a plan to raise 1581 M4 Missionaries who will go and make disciplers of these tribes.
"Lord, raise up 1581 Churches who will participate in M4 missions by sending M4 missionaries to these unreached tribes who are without access to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, raise up 1581 M4 missionaries who will go and make disciplers in places where there is no missionary…"
M4 Training Centers
For raising 1581 M4 missionaries, we are establishing three strategic M4 Traininger Centers. TM Africa Center has been firmly established and opened its doors in 2004. TM Asia Center is decided to be in Cambodia and we had the ground breaking in June 2006 and construction is on the way. For TM Middle East Center, we are praying for God's direction for the location.
"Lord, firmly establish your 3 strategic centers in Africa, Asia and Middle East. Lord, thank you for the first center in Guinea, West Africa. Thank you also for ground breaking in Cambodia for TM Asia center. Lord provide all we need for completing this center. Lord, send many trainees for M4 missions in Africa. Lord, show us the location for TM Middle East. "
12 Teachers for TM International Christian Academy
In Guinea, West Africa, we have a boarding school for Guinean children. We are raising future leaders from Elementary to College. Each year, we are praying for 12 elementary teachers who will be teaching 4th year and 1st year students.
Lord, you have given us the vision for this boarding school in Guinea. Thank you for opening the door in 2004. Now Lord, provide for us 12 godly teachers who love you and who are strong physically and spiritually.
