[Sonlifeafrica-newsletter] Ministry Update July 2003

["Mark Tittley" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friend



What a privilege it is to serve God! When we follow his call and surrender
our agenda to His, we are in for a truly amazing journey. In the past Month,
God has once again caused us to depend on Him for our needs.



As we contemplated coming to the end of our financial resources we started
to wonder how God would provide for the ministry of Sonlife in Africa. As a
board, we were convinced that He who had begun this good work would not
leave it half finished and we were confident that He would once again
provide for the ministry needs.



We heard this week that Calvary Church in Michigan has looked in favour on
our grant request and have given what we need to continue developing the
ministry of Sonlife in Africa. We praise God for his goodness and also
recognise the generosity of the people at Calvary Church and their vision
for the church in Africa. Thank you for partnering with us in Africa.



In the coming months we will be looking to take the work further in each of
the key countries that we have targeted - namely, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria,
Malawi, Zambia and Burkina Faso. Please pray with us as we plan and schedule
trips to each of these contexts. It will be my privilege to revisit each of
these countries to present the advanced levels of training, while the key
nationals handle the first two levels of train - they were accredited to
teach the Strategy and Foundations seminars during the training in May in
South Africa.



We are also excited about a partnership that is developing with OMS - a
missionary society that is working among refugees in Africa. Raymond Airosa
is training the Strategy seminar in Angola this week and has great vision
for other countries in southern and central Africa.



May God continue to use us to extend His kingdom in Africa. Thank you for
your prayers and support - we can only do this together!



Regards



Mark Tittley
