The conference in Oxford

The conference in Oxford went very well. My prayer to the Lord is to show us, people from different countries, how we can strive together for enlarging the Kingdom. The name of the conference was “untraditional mission ways to reach our society”. From the testimonies we had, seems that the discipleship teaching was very well received. I mentioned that soon we will have the book printed, thus several people came to order the book.

Then we had a meeting with representatives from many different countries throughout the world.

God gave me the opportunity to meet wonderful people. Two of them, Maurice and Hervin, expressed their interest to join us in mission.

The last day we had a meeting with the group of leaders, who put together the conference, in order to discuss our future plans and cooperation together. I saw God’s hand in allowing me to meet wonderful open people who have similar vision as ours. In fact, I have never been so welcomed and well received in Western Europe as this time in UK.

Here is the testimony of one of them:

Firstly let me start by saying a big thank you to you for totally yielding everything to the Lord. I was very touched by the sermon you gave at the conference. It was not because of any clever use of words but by the literal presence of the Spirit of God which I felt as you started to speak. I will be very honest and say I was not expecting what I got from you, but God has a funny way of letting us know not to assume things when He is in it. I rededicated my life to the Lord 4 years ago and had a wonderful experience with our Lord Jesus Christ. During the past few months I have been really struggling with my faith because of a lot of things that is going on in my family. I was not originally going to come to the conference but Mark told me I needed to be there so I registered my name. when you spoke, I just felt like that message was just for me and as if you were speaking to me only. I have been so very humbled and changed by the words the Lord has spoken through you. And I would love to know when you publish your book because of the impact I know it is going to have in my life and the next step which God wants me to take. You may not know how much you have impacted me (not just by the powerful testimony and wisdom but also by watching you for that brief time) but I pray that God continue to use you for many more years and Bless you and your household in Jesus name. You are a true man of God!

God mighty bless you sir.

Yours sincerely
Maurice Otim Odong

We had also an outreach in the local community center.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers.  Tomorrow we are flying to Rome.
