MORE BAPTISMS IN HARARE!
I have just returned from Harare, Zimbabwe after a very successful conference there. Home Missionary (and former Foreign Missionary) Tim Thompson from Albuquerque, New Mexico assisted me on this trip, and was a tremendous blessing to the work of God.
The purpose of our trip was to strengthen those we had already converted, continuing to help them “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord.” This we endeavored to do. However, we also had to once again teach Apostolic Doctrine, inasmuch as there were a number of Trinitarian pastors present who had never heard the message.
By the end of the second day, I was approached by a Bishop who is over more than 200 churches. He told me that I had “completely destroyed” his theology. He was anxious to hear more, but was called away due to some pressing situations. Help me pray that we will have another opportunity to share this message with him.
Even though we went there to teach the pastors with whom we are already working, we were blessed to be able to convert some new pastors in the process. On the final day of our conference, we baptized three Trinitarian pastors in Jesus’ name!

During our conference in Harare, we met Aaron Ng’ona, who is the Director of International Relations for a Trinitarian organization in the country of Malawi. He heard me teach on baptism and the Godhead, and asked that I come to his country to teach these truths to his people. He said that his organization is highly respected in the country of Malawi, and that whatever they do will receive newspaper coverage. He also told me that when I come, I will be granted an audience with the President of Malawi. We are tentatively planning on holding this conference some time this fall. Please help us pray that this will be the beginning of revival in yet another African country.

AN OPEN DOOR IN MALAWI
NEXT STOP: BULAWAYO AND FRANCISTOWN
In just a few weeks (March 2), I will again be leaving for Africa. I will travel first to the city of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where we will conduct a three-day seminar. The first day will be devoted to training those already converted. The next two days will be reaching out to Trinitarian pastors who have not yet heard the Apostolic message.
We will then fly to Francistown, Botswana, where we will conduct a doctrinal seminar for an entire Trinitarian organization. We baptized the president and secretary of the organization last October, and they requested that we teach their group. They are currently expecting as many as 400 pastors to be present!
This trip will be very expensive, since we are having to not only conduct two conferences back- to-back, but also fly between African countries. We are extremely appreciative of those who have supported us thus far. God is doing great things and your prayers and financial support have made it all possible.
