WHAT IS ... SHAPING ... YOUR LIFE?

Paul prayed this prayer over the Ephesian church … That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom & revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what (are) the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, --- Eph 1:17-19	All of which should shape our lives, … as it had obviously shaped their lives! For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. --- Eph 2:10 Yes we are His workmanship, … created in Christ Jesus … for GOOD WORKS! A lifestyle of love!

Paul prayed this prayer over the Ephesian church …

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of
wisdom & revelation in the knowledge of him:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of his calling,
and what (are) the riches of the glory of
His inheritance in the saints,

And what is the exceeding greatness
of his power toward us who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power,
--- Eph 1:17-19

All of which should shape our lives,
… as it had obviously shaped their lives!

For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them.
--- Eph 2:10

Yes we are His workmanship,
… created in Christ Jesus …
for GOOD WORKS!

REPORTS ... MISSION ... TRIPS

It is always exciting and rewarding to minister to people who are hungry for God’s Word,
and the two days of introductory meetings in Grafton were certainly all of that.
Not only were those who attended blessed by the Word,
but many good contacts from all over Sierra Leone were made,
and many new students signed up for the Bible Courses.

The Sunday morning, on the day of the
Covenant Disciples Bible Students' Graduation,
before my return to Kenya and home,
I was honoured to be invited to minister at Pastor Cole’s church,
The End Times Evangelistic Christian Centre in Wellington, Freetown.

Graduation - Free	town - Sierra Leone

Just 6 months after starting the Covenant Disciples Bible Courses in Freetown, Sierra Leone,
and having established classes in Wellington and Grafton in the Freetown District,
Pastor Christian Cole and his team,
Pastors Simeon S Kainessie, Alpha A Kpaka, Ola E Davies and Melvin Banya
graduated, together with over 30 of their students. (a second group to follow soon)

Not only do we envisage to further expand the work in Freetown
and district, but to also establish centres all over Sierra Leone.

I was also blessed to meet with pastors from other towns and regions in Sierra Leone,
such as Pastor Sandi, a Bible teacher from the city Bo in the Southern Region,
who not only plans to introduce the Courses in Bo and the Southern Region,
but also has good links in Liberia, where there is a great demand for Bible Training,
and where we also want to introduce the Covenant Disciples Bible Courses.

Applying God's principles	... practically in life!

Praise Report I have learnt some powerful biblical principles from Pastor Jan, Covenant Ministries and the Bible Courses, but I have also learnt that unless I apply those principles to life, my life ... they will not benefit me at all! So, when I saw the interest in viewing soccer that the World Cup produced, I took that as an opportunity to make an investment that would not only bring me a short term return, but also a long term investment that would help support my ministry, and praise God, that is exactly how it work out! Pastor Ed.	However ... If you’re not in the position to attend the World Cup, nor have the means of buying a soccer ball, well then you can do what Obanda did, ... make your own World Cup Soccer ball And help rid Africa of some of its worst pollution! Take a pile of plastic bags, freely available on the side of the road, bunch and squash together in a ball, tie it all together with Sisal, (grows everywhere) cover it with a bag in your favorite colour, find a couple of friends, and soccer is the name of the game!

If you’re not in the position to attend the World Cup,
nor have the means of buying a soccer ball,
well then you can do what Obanda did,
... make your own World Cup Soccer ball
And help rid Africa of some of its worst pollution!

Take a pile of plastic bags,
freely available on the side of the road,
bunch and squash together in a ball,
tie it all together with Sisal,

TAKE THIS ... OPPORTUNITY!

Behold, a sower went out to sow.
And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside
Some fell on stony ground … And some seed fell among thorns …
But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up,
increased & produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.

--- Mark 4:3-8
