One of our greatest passion in Grace Foundation is to multiply the number of our existing missionaries and deploy them to the darkest part of the world. We trust the Lord that our work force should increase from its present number to at least 64 by the year 2010. Even that figure is very insignificant in the light of the volume of the unfinished task. The work must be completed and we must do everything to bring back the King.
This passion is what has led us to help nations with large concentration of Christians to get involve in missions the way we are doing it. We do this by networking with other Christian leaders and agencies. One of such partnership is with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada’s Missions Exposure and Training (MET). Through this partnership God opened the door Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) through their facilitation of Missions Fest in Africa.
In 2006, the Grace Foundation had the privilege of making input by having missions awareness campaign in several churches at Lubumbashi, the second biggest city of DRC and spoke both at the plenary session and workshops at the first Missions Fest in Africa which held at the same city. The response were really encouraging as over 20 Pastors made commitments to engage in missionary work.
The need for follow-up became very strong and recently God opened the door for us. Our International Director was to speak in churches and the Missions Fest both at Lubumbashi and the capital city of Kinshasa. Though, he missed Lubumbashi, God made his trip to Kinshasa possible. He spoke at the plenary on the need for the African churchto extend her missionary efforts to the Arabian Penninsular. He also spoke on Strategic Pioneering Missions and The Missionary Journey Ahead of the Church. Over 30 persons volunteered to get involve in pioneering missions in response to the message. Though his time there was so limited, he was privileged to have a missions awareness campaign at the Communion Chapel. The response too was very impressive.
Towards the end of his stay, he was invited to the Hospital Chapel where he spoke on the Unlimited Power of God to Heal the Sick. He spent time to pray for the sick and trusted God to have healed a number of them.
Also in the missionary trip from Nigeria was Bishop David Adeidini. He ministered in song in their native language –Ngala and French and used his musical instrument – accordion to make impact at the Missions Fest. He spoke on Holy Spirit and Missions at the seminar level and also preached at the samaritan Church. He was a great encouragement.
The trip to DRC also provided platform for fellowship for MET leadership as the Directors, Gerald and Pat Golbeck, the French Director, Jean Beya the Ghana Representative, Jerry Abbey and Nigeria Representative, our International Director, Andrew Abah were around with other friends and partners like Director of Middle East Outreach from Iraq and Professor and Dr. Mrs Ron Meyers.
We appreciate the labour of the Missions Fest Chairman, N. Cele and the entire Pastors at Kinshasa for joining hands together to make our trip very succesful. Blonde was very useful in inerpreting for me both in the church where I ministered and at the Missions Fest program. We appreciate her labour of love.
