GHANA AND WEST AFRICA 4 FIELDS DISCIPLESHIP MULTIPLICATION TEAMS
GHANA AND WEST AFRICA 4 FIELDS DISCIPLESHIP MULTIPLICATION TEAMS
Amen, Charles Odoi has reported the following
Liberia has been the last, but not the least in the West African 4 Fields Discipleship Multiplication Training Upgrade. We have since been received home and the purpose of our work re-emphasized by great mentors - Dr. George Akpabli and Ludwig Tebogo Ramatsui.
After the meeting in the Venda area of South Africa in May, 2022, with Uncle George Funk and other key leaders, there was the need to ‘Dot the i’s and Cross the t’s’ to make our Training better and more impactful.
Quickly, I had to divide West Africa into 3 Zones, print over a 1,000 Workbooks and retrain our Trainers and others to ensure that our Training makes more impact than it was already making.
This started with a One Day refresher course for Trainers in Ghana , Togo and Nigeria . This ended in great excitement as the Trainers have gone back home to make more impact in their Training with this new approach that makes it extra Simple, participants Discover more to make it more Biblical as they reproduce the Tools. We found ways to Brutalize the Brutal Facts for participants to understand the Lostness in their communities and to win them for Christ and Train them to do same with increased Passion. Finally, we stressed on 3/3s Method and the need for every Trainer to emphasize that as we Train across the sub-region.
The second stop was in The Gambia in June, 2022, where Trainers in Senegal and Guinea Bissau were invited to join the Training as they learned on the job. We took the opportunity to join the Trainers in The Gambia to Train their own as the improved Method was handed down to participants. By the grace of God, this has also started bringing Harvest, especially from The Gambia. We are praying to see same in the other countries that joined as Trainers keep sowing the Seed.
The third stop has been Sierra Leone and Liberia in July, 2022. Trainers from Liberia joined those in Sierra Leone for us to Train leaders of that country as they also learned on the job. Please let’s pray for Sierra Leone for the leaders to keep their promises of not only Knowing, but Obey as they go out there to make Disciples who make other Disciples.
We then continued to Liberia , where one of the Trainers from Sierra Leone joined us. The story in Liberia is exactly as that of Sierra Leone. They’ve also gone through the Training when Dr. George Akpabli traveled there with me to Train. The Liberian Team had also been traveling across the country for the same purpose. Yet, we are not seeing much from those Trained.
With Brother Dimpo, the Coordinator for Africa, joining us in this Training, the participants confessed that they have understood it better and now know what is expected of them. They initially thought someone else should bring them the money to Go. But after taking them through the Exposition of Matthew 28:18-20 and the Search for the Person / House of Peace (Luke 10:1-9), they have realized that they simply have to obey God and Go… as God has promised to be with them and also provide a Person of Peace for them. Let’s now pray for the leaders of Liberia too. They said a lot which indicated that their passion has been ignited. Join us in prayer so their Passion leads to Action.
The beautiful thing in all of these is that we identified talents which we picked along to join in the Training almost everywhere.
Also, the devil tried bringing us setbacks as our car had an accident in Sierra Leone and I fell ill in Liberia. Yet in all of these, God continued to prove supreme as we overcame these challenges and continued with our work.
Thank God for all who are involved and the continuous expansion of the Kingdom through the collective effort of the 4 Fields Discipleship Multiplication across the globe .
Wow, God is doing amazing things through you all. Thank You Lord and thank you all thank
