I am absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude to our Lord, for the amazing doors that God has opened for me. He has allowed me to travel to 4 different continents on this planet, for the purpose of training pastors, church planters and others in positions of spiritual leadership. Most recently, I have returned from a tremendous opportunity to teach my latest workbook, entitled “Christ-centered Discipleship”, to hundreds of pastors and church leaders, from both Kenya and Uganda! Our ministry, (being blessed by many of you), was able to supply the ‘bus fare’ for each of these leaders to travel to Kitale, Kenya. Also, we were able to feed those pastors and leaders 3 meals a day, for 4 full days, (over 6,300 meals)! Our Lord also used many of you to supply the funds to give each one of these leaders a workbook; a place to sleep; as well as, providing for the many other expenses which are involved in a major conference such as this. Brothers and sisters, I am already receiving scores of testimonies from these pastors, sharing how they have already begun to teach these truths to their hundreds of congregations, from different areas of Kenya and Uganda! This is an amazing multiplication of TRUTH!

The Director of Kenya Ministries Training Institute, Rev. George Wafula, (who is also a key leader in this annual conference), shares his heart concerning this latest convocation of spiritual leaders. “This conference was a magnificent blessing to all of the pastors and bishops. So many pastors have called me, testifying how God spoke personally to their lives; and that they will never be the same! There were over 530 pastors and church leaders that attended the 4-day conference at KMTI. There were 41 who travelled all the way from Uganda to attend this glorious time. This is a huge number of spiritual leaders to attend our campus. We really did not have enough beds to accommodate all of them. But the senior pastors and overseers were willing to sleep on the floor, on thin mattresses, so that they could be in attendance for every session! They all testified that “Bro. Ed Lacy always has the Word of the Lord for our lives; and we don’t want to miss anything”! It is very uncommon to see senior pastors of large churches sleeping on the floor and sharing two men to a mattress; unless God is doing something mighty in their lives! With all of the busy schedules of these well-known pastors, they still desired to stay for every moment, until the final words were spoken from this brother!

There were three pastors who were experiencing very serious marital problems. But after listening to the session on ‘The Disciple as a faithful Husband’, the Word of God totally exposed them and convicted them! They went home to their wives and repented of their sins; their marriages were fully restored; and they have all called me twice, since then, to tell me how grateful they are for what God has done in their marriages! It has been such a blessing to have Bro. Ed Lacy every year. Our pastors and leaders have such a deep respect for His understanding of the scriptures and his delivery of the Word of God. Whenever they are told about the next conference, they are excited to come and they bring new pastors with them. We had pastors from all over the nation of Kenya, as well as those from Uganda! Some of these men drove as much as 11 hours by bus, to come under the Word of God in this conference! This kind of glorious response is possible because of the testimonies of those who have attended the conferences is past years! Pastors are using these entire teachings to disciple their local flocks; which results in a glorious multiplication of these life-transforming truths! I want to express my sincere thanks for all of the brothers and sisters in America, who have prayed for Bro. Ed and supported these conferences. The lives of countless numbers of people are going to be impacted on this continent, because of the Word of God that has gone forth in the power of the Holy Spirit. My heart is overwhelmed with more gratitude than I can possibly put into human words! "

Dear friends, you and your gifts of intercession and support for these conferences are a major part of what God is doing in these annual Kenya conferences; as well as the 4 other international conferences that we held in Cuba and in India last year! We have already scheduled the 2015 conference in Kenya for the first week of December. I will be speaking on “The Great Shepherd; The Local Shepherd; and Their Flocks!” It will be a study on spiritual leadership that is much needed in these African nations! Already, I am beginning to work on that workbook study! Please pray towards this tremendous opportunity.
