African Renewal
Pastors' Training Conference
Eldoret, Kenya, October 26-29, 2011
Dear Friends,
You've been praying -- and many of you have given -- to help the African Renewal
Pastors' Conference come to pass. And God has provided! Praise the Lord.
The conference is history, attended by fully 800 pastors and leaders from
East Africa -- Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda.
I've prepared a number of videos that help tell the story.
A
major project that has resulted from the conference is the preparation of a
two-disc video set of my teachings to the pastors. You can see each of these
teachings on YouTube from the following webpage:
As I shared with you earlier, our missionaries did a good job teaching
Africans to know Jesus, but they didn't do such a good job teaching them to
tithe. Perhaps they felt they were too poor to give. But the result is that most
pastors in western Kenya don't have any support from their churches -- and may
not even be tithing themselves. God put on my heart to prepare a series of
teachings for this conference, listed below. The teaching is in both English and
Swahili. You can view each of these videos online at

Too Poor to Give (40:49).
Stewardship, Ministry, and the Tithe (44:55)
The Blessings of Tithing (Malachi 3, 43:48)
The Blessings of Sowing Generously (2 Corinthians 9:6-15, 43:27)
A Critique of the Prosperity Message (42:18)
Financial Integrity for Pastors (35:00)
God is Your Source (4:01)
For those of you who prayed and gave toward this conference, thank you!
Please continue to pray that God might put the teachings we brought deep into
the hearts of pastors and their churches, that God's work in Africa may
increase.
Yours in Christ's service,
