THE FRUIT OF OUR LABOR

Beloved Partners& Friends

To enjoy the fruit of our labour is most certainly God - ordained. We labour to enter into His REST and once we have truly entered we are to ENJOY the Lord for eternity. Such is God's order. Oh that His people would enter into rest and cease from their self motivating works that compel and drive them to always please the Lord through those works. It was a thrilling moment indeed to watch as 27 graduates walked up to receive their Diplomas of Theology followed by their ordination as ministers of the Gospel. How excited Jesus must also have felt with His disciples as He ascended into heaven leaving them to the work for which they had been trained. This graduating class are real gentlemen and fine men of God. We were so proud of them in their new suits and royal blue gowns as they received their certificates from Pastor Roz and His Excellency, Governor of Equatoria province, Samuel Abujohn Kabashi. Pastor Bill Norling from Minneapolis MN, our long time friend and supporter gave the graduation address. It was an excellent graduation in the "Spirit of Excellence" that is the hallmark of this Academy. We so wished that each of you, our partners, could have been with us on such an august occasion to see the fruit of your own labours. These are fearless men filled with the Spirit whose only purpose is the Kingdom and glory of the Lord. They are THRILLED to be taking the glorious, powerful Gospel into the most remote zones of this nation. These zones are so incredibly remote and primitive that these men will assuredly be laying their lives down in every sense. They are already to be saluted for their enthusiasm and excitement as they prepare to rally forth. Your investment has in no wise been fruitless. Very often when you give your money and see nothing tangible, it can become disillusioning. Never forget you are investing in real war machines for the Kingdom. Be an Abelwhose whole being - body, emotion and spirit - was wrapped up in the sacrifice that he offered the Lord. What a fruitful sacrifice that blessed the Lord. Thank you for making it possible to send our these incredible vessels filled with power and love. In time we will have a video available for those supporters who would like to see the graduation. Please call this office if you would like to receive one.

SUPPORT FOR NEW STUDENTS

I have just returned from New Sudan and the graduation. While there, we signed in sixty new students from every province in New Sudan. If you feel you would like to support one of these men or his family for the next two to three years please contact this office on (816) 734-0493. Monthly support is $30 and we will send you a photograph of your student. They undertake to pray for you each day and will write you three to four times a year. We encourage you to write them occasionally sending them any prayerr equests you may have and send a photo of you and your family. Any mail you send needs to come through the Kansas City office and please make sure that you do not include your address. We occasionally have problems with a few students who might try to contact their supporter direct,asking for something extra and we do not encourage this which is why all contact is made through our head office. Please do not send any additional gifts as it is not fair when one student receives and another does not. When they graduate we supply them with a new suit, shoes, shirts and ties, a Strong’s Concordance and leather bound Thompson Chain Reference Bible as well as a bicycle so if you would like to donate towards any of that we would be grateful. It is important that they receive a graduation card at the end of their two years and their excitement knows no bounds when they get one.

REPORT FROM MALAWI

Greetings: ZIKOMO, ZIKOMO, ZIKOMO!!!!: We have been so blessed with the hospitality we havereceived here at Kalibu! May the Lord richly bless you for your kindness toward us. It has been great to minister with some of your pastors in our meetings. We have been in many places throughout Malawi in the last several years. We have found no other place where the Spirit of the Lord is present like here at Kalibu. Each morning we are anxious to be a part of the 7:00am worship. We trust we have been a blessing to your men as well. The meetings are going great. The Lord has moved upon our hearts to bring a strong word of repentance to the church leaders, calling them to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting. I believe the Word of God does not return void! In the time of ministering along the lines of faith and healing several have expressed great joy in the healing they received. We are always blessed when we hear good reports from those we have ministered to in previous visits that theyare really walking with the Lord. Thank you, truly from the bottom of our hearts for all your help and hospitality from all of us. By the way, my 17 year old son, Stephen was moved upon by the Holy Spirit to join us just 2 week before departing, Not only did the Lord supply all the money for his trip in that short length of time but he also got him a seat on ALL of our flights even after we were told his seats had been canceled and the flights were over booked. He is taking this time to draw closer to the Lord than he has ever been and he is sharing the Word in each meeting FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE!!!! God is so good! Thanks again, Jeff Mosier along with Brother Mike, Michelle, and Stephen (Indiana)
UPDATES

Please note that the Christian Satellite network Sky Angel Channel 262 will be showing a two part interview with Michael on August 24th 12 noon est. and August 31st. 11.00 a.m. est.
Michael will be in Singapore in early September. For information on these meetings please contact Andy and Sarah Yun on 97834079. From there he will be going to work with some Finnish missionaries in Indonesia and then on to Finland for a full schedule there, in Lapland and Lithuania. Please keep him in prayer during this very busy time of travel and that multitudes will be touched as he ministers to them about the love of God the dangers facing the Church in these end days and how to touch Him through praise and worship and intercession.
We are thrilled to have Frank VanDyke from Ft. Worth, TX join the ministry for at least a year if not permanently. We have known Frank for many years. He is both an accomplished musician and a good teacher of the Word. He will begin with us in New Sudan but will also work in Malawi and Mocambique as and when needed there. Remember to keep our Chaplians in prayer as they leave for the remotest areas of Sudan. Their bicycles have arrived in Yei and are being assembled. Thank you B and J for buying them.
