Mali - Kensington Temple

Kensington Temple
A Vision for Mission
London and the World
for Christ
Includes a 31-day Prayer Diary
London and the
World for Christ
One of Kensington Temple’s unique qualities is that
we are probably the most multinational church in
the world. Our last census recorded 119 different
nationalities across the London City Church network.
The Mission statement of KT is London and the World
for Christ. In our very city we are seeing many people
from all over the world finding Christ. Many of
these spend a few years in London before returning
as “missionaries” to their own nation. Our church
statistics show that each year we send out around
1,000 trained leaders back into the harvest fields of
the world. This is the disciple making role the Lord has given to us. We are
impacting the nations for Christ.
Our heart for overseas missions
Many years ago, the Holy Spirit gave us a particular vision to reach the
10/40 window – that part of the world which contains most of the world’s
unevangelised and disadvantaged peoples. Many of these nations and people
are socially, culturally and politically opposed to the gospel, and yet, many
thousands are coming to Christ as the Holy Spirit works in their hearts. I
believe that in these ‘Last Days’ the Lord wants KT to answer the cry of the
nations for the gospel like never before. To pray, give and go to the places that
others aren’t going to, which are often the places of most need.
A fourfold focus
In order for us to fulfil our missionary calling as a church we need to focus on
four main things:
• Strategic Prayer and intercession for the nations
• Cells4Missions – ensuring a burden for world evangelism is at the heart
of all our cells
• Fundraising for the mission field
• Training, mobilising and sending our people to go to the harvest of the
nations.
This KT Missions prayer manual gives you key ‘prayer fuel’ information about
the areas God is putting on our hearts. It also gives you an update of the work
that we are currently involved in and what we want to do next. Finally there
is a 31-day prayer diary that we can use each month for strategic intercession
to uphold our vision for London and the WORLD for Christ!

Called to the 10/40 Window!
Colin Dye is a member of the National Leadership Team of the Elim Movement.
He is also the Regional Superintendent of the London City Region. As a
Region and a church we have adopted the 10/40 Window as our special area of
missionary concern.
What is the 10/40 Window?
The 10/40 window is the region in the world that has been most untouched
by the gospel. Some 2,000 people groups have yet to be reached and have
not ever heard the name of Jesus. The window represents the core of Islamic,
Buddhist and Hindi religions and is also a place of extreme poverty.
In the 10/40 Window...
• The 10/40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle
East and Asia approximately between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees
north of the equator.
• Two-thirds of the world’s population - 4 billion people - live in the 10/40
Window.
• 95% of these 4 billion people are unevangelized.
• 87% are the poorest of the poor, living on an average of only £150 per
family per year.
• In many of the 69 nations, sharing the Christian Gospel is illegal and will
result in imprisonment or death.
• The top 50 least evangelized cities in the world are all located in the 10/40
Window.
• TThe 10/40 Window contains over 70% of the world’s population but
receive only 8% of the world’s missionary efforts.
• Only 5p out of every £100 spent on missions globally is directed toward
the 10/40 Window.
• Most of the people in the 10/40 Window have never met a Christian, seen
a Bible, or entered a church.
• 45 of the 50 worst countries in the world for persecution of Christians are
in the 10/40 Window.
• The 10/40 Window is also known as the “resistance belt” and remains
the darkest and most inhospitable territory to the cause of Christ and
represents the greatest remaining stronghold of Satan!

Francophone
Africa
Francophone
Africa
Hari Panthin
During the 1990s the Lord spoke
to us about ministering to the
Francophone world and we began in
a West African nation, the Republic
of Benin. We were able to unite
local church groups and help them
work together to evangelise the
unreached tribes who live in the
remote upcountry villages. Scores of
churches were planted as God blessed
our efforts. To this day we help fund
an orphanage in that nation.
Over the last decade we have been
working in the nation of Mali on
the edges of the Sahara Desert. Our
teams have been regularly leading
evangelistic meetings, teaching
leaders and encouraging evangelistic
initiatives towards the north of the
nation. Hundreds of KT people have
had a taste of short-term missions
as they have preached the gospel in
these remote villages and have seen
the power of God at work. We have
helped local people by starting a
children’s home, digging a well and
providing other social support.
4 [email protected] / www.kt.org
Now the Holy Spirit is leading us into
the next phase of our work according
to the strategy he revealed many
years ago. Colin had a vision in which
he saw a map of Africa north of the
Equator. The sub-Saharan nations
were blazing with the light of Christ.
The believers in these nations began
to turn their attention towards the
north – the unevangelised regions
of Africa. Colin felt that the Holy
Spirit was showing us what he is
doing in these nations. He is leading
the stronger Christian nations below
the Sahara to carry the gospel to
the northern nations which are in
desperate need of the good news.
The Holy Spirit is stirring up
prayer and missionary action so
that the South Saharan Christians
press north, while the Southern
European believers descend from
across the Mediterranean Sea until
the North African nations are fully
reached with the gospel. The work
in Marseille is part of this move of
the Spirit coming out of Southern
Europe. Three years ago, we started
a French-speaking missions training
school in this key city of the South of
France. We have been encouraged as
we have met many other like-minded
believers in Marseille who share this
vision to reach North Africa with the
gospel of Christ.
Voodoo priest receives Jesus
It was during one of the missions
in the Republic of Benin. We were
scheduled to each lead team to
minister in a couple of villages after
the seminar.
That morning I felt a real burden to
pray. During prayer I saw a picture
of a man on a horse. The horse was
running at full speed and the man
has lost control. He was off the
saddle and was hanging by one of
his feet caught in the stirrup. The
Lord then told me that it was a
voodoo priest. He said that if he did
not stop what he was doing that he
was going to die. The question was,
who was that voodoo priest and
where would I meet him?
I was introduced to the pastor of the
village I was to visit with one of the
team that afternoon. I asked him
if there was a voodoo priest in his
village and could I be taken to him.
The pastor was quite hesitant and
explained that the voodoo priest
was a man of great authority in the
village and that he was feared by
most. Finally after explaining the
situation I convinced the pastor to
take us to the man. I followed the
pastor as he made his way to the
voodoo priest’s residence.
The house was full of people and
when the pastor explained the
purpose of our visit, the people burst
out laughing. After having been
introduced and found out that the
voodoo priest spoke French, I told
him the picture I saw that morning
and gave him the message from
God. All the laughter had stopped
and you could hear a pin drop. He
was visibly touched and shocked.
When I told him that he needed to
reject voodoo and accept Jesus, he
did so without any hesitation to the
amazement of everybody present.
A move of God then broke out in the
vicinity.

Mali
Mali
Mali is a landlocked country in
Western Africa. Mali is the seventh
largest country in Africa, bordered
by Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, the
Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal and
Mauritania. Its capital is Bamako.
Mali is considered to be one of the
poorest nations in the world, with
about half of the population living
below the international poverty line
of US$1.25 a day.
Kristian Lythe meeting
the children at a village
in Mali
The country is quickly being lost to
the desert and suffers from regular
droughts, plagues and famine. Mali
is one of the five poorest countries in
the world with a high infant mortality
rate, extensive malnutrition, low levels
of literacy, and a short life expectancy.
It has had a recent problem with
Islamist extremism and only a military
intervention by France brought back
peace and order to the nation.
Mali is ranked number 7 on the
World Watch List of countries where
persecution of Christians is most
severe.
The people of Mali:
• Mali total population is
13,323,104
• Muslim: 87.38% (11,641,728
people)
• Ethno religionist: 9.88%
(1,316,323 people)
• Christian: 2.64% (351,730
people)
• Non-religious: 0.1% (13,323
people).
6 [email protected] / www.kt.org
The Church in Mali:
• Catholic church has over 143,017
members
• Evangelical churches have over
22,000 members
• Assemblies of God has over 1,107
members.
Training leaders:
In 2009 Colin Dye made his first trip
to Mali to run a revival conference
with key church leaders and to
launch the Sword of the Spirit series.
600 pastors and leaders gathered to
receive teaching and ministry by
Colin Dye during the day and at the
evening revival meetings.
Evangelism and church
planting:
We have seen amazing things! We
had two gospel crusades: one in
Koulikoro that saw over 500 people
respond to the gospel with signs and
wonders each night. The team visited
a village, where the mayor and the
whole village accepted the Lord and
there was great joy in that place. The
gospel crusade in Bamako was the
highlight as 1,500 on the first night
and 4,000 on the last night came to
hear the gospel message. An average
of 1,000 people came to make
decisions for Christ each night. The
leaders and pastors were fired up.
Last year our KT French church,
Pierre Vivantes, led a mission to Mali
in the local villages. KT is hoping to
partner with Tearfund to get fresh
water and nutritional food to the
people in these villages.
Earlier this year Tayo Awoyera was
able to make the first visit to Mali
since the coup and we hope to restart the work there very soon.
Prayer Focus:
•

•
Pray for the safety of the
people as Islamists continue to
terrorise the country.
Pray for stability to return so
that KT can send Missions
Teams again very soon.
Pray for the Church of Mali to
grow and prosper in all things.
Pray for a KT Bible school to
be set up there in the near
future.

Algeria
Algeria
The baptistry of
St Augustine of Hippo in
Annaba, Algeria
Algeria is one of the main nations on
our hearts at KT, we are discreetly
doing as much as we can to encourage
and help Algerian believers and
churches.
Algeria has a fast-growing economy
due to its vast oil and gas reserves,
however much of this wealth does not
reach the ordinary population. The
financial structures of the country are
8 [email protected] / www.kt.org
generally weak and unempolyment is
high. Algeria is ranked 104th (out of
182) on the United Nations’ Human
Development index.
Algeria has a rich Christian heritage,
with Augustine of Hippo, widely
considered as on of the most
important Church Fathers, living and
preaching during the fourth century
in the region that is modern day
Annaba. Christianity was driven out
of the country by Islamic invasions of
the eighth century.
The people of Algeria:
• Algeria’s total population is
35,422,589. The capital city of
Algeria is Algiers.
• Muslim: 97.29% (34,462,637
people)
• Non-religious: 2.40% (850,142
people)
• Christian: 0.28% (99,183 people)
• Baha’i 0.01% (3,542 people)
• Maghreb Arabs: 69.9%
• Berbers: 22.8%
In recent years freedom of religion
has been dwindling since legal
changes in 2006 and persecution
has been increasing since 2008 with
Islamist group becoming ever more
intolerant of other faiths. Muslim
fundemantalists are strongly agitating
for the institution of shari’a law.
A move of God!
Despite the persecution Algeria
today has over 100,000 believers
which are mainly in Kablye region.
The number has been growing
rapidly with churches new being
planted.
Algeria is ranked number 29 on the
World Watch List of countries where
persecution of Christians is most
severe.
A passion to witness
In the nation of Algeria as the Kablye
are growing rapidly in faith in Christ,
people got touched by the message
about missions and how it challenged
them to stand up for the Gospel,
no matter what comes their way,
whether it be religion, rejection or put
into prison. With Churches meeting
together in one building speaking with
one young leader about his faith he
was told me that:
“As I have come to Jesus within three
years I have managed to bring 45
people to Jesus just because of my life
and my witness to them.”
God is moving within the Kablye
people today and the ripple effect will
impact the rest of Algeria soon!
(From a KT member on mission in
Algeria).
Prayer Focus:
•
•
Pray for the revival amongst
the Kablye people and for the
new churches being born.
Pray for open doors and
favour to continue on our
work with Algerian
Christians.

Colin Dye received a word from God
in the early 1990s that the language
that had blasphemed would be used
by Him to bring the gospel to the
nations. This is our passion to see the
French nations saved and used by the
power of God.

Marseille
This year we had 9 students in IFIM,
our Marseille Bible School. They
have been involved in evangelism,
mission, church planting, prayer,
praise and worship, healing the sick,
exercising the gifts of the Spirit as
well as learning Christian doctrine,
understanding Islam and learning
how to communicate their faith in
today’s world. Half of the first year
students will stay for the second year.
Paris - David and Christine

The contribution of Colin Dye and KT
to our work in Temple du Paris will
have a lasting impact on people’s
lives. First of all Colin and Kensington
Temple have always been behind us
100%. Even after almost 20 years
whenever we come back the love and
the encouragement shown to us is
amazing.
Colin has ‘mouille sa chemise’ (or
as you say ‘sweated buckets’), not
only by teaching us but by immersing
himself in the French culture, learning
the language and getting to know the
rise of the Islam in our mist. Bravo!
A few years ago, at Colin’s urging,
we launched Elim France, which I
believe has started to crystallise the
different churches with a common
goal of encouraging each other and
also to look for opportunities to plant
churches in our land.

Mauritius is a beautiful
island in urgent need of
the gospel
The people of Mauritius:
• Mauritius total population is
1,294,569. The capital city of
Mauritius is Port Louis.
• Hindu: 48.6% (629,161 people)
• Christian: 32.71% (423,454
people)
• Creole: 28%
• Chinese: 3%
• European: 3%
The Church in Mauritius:
• Catholic church has over 150,406
members
• Assemblies of God has over
50,000 members
• Anglican church has over 3,247
members
• The charismatic movement has
exploded with big growth
• Most older churches face slow
decline.
The African island of Mauritius is in
the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar,
and has an interesting history with
diverse cultures and traditions. It was
explored by the Portuguese in 1505,
taken over by the Dutch in 1598,
then by the French who established
Port Louis as its capital in the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
Mauritius was ceded to Britain in
1814 and achieved independence in
1968.

A paradise under persecution
The Island of Mauritius may well be
a paradise attracting tourists from all
over the world, but it is deeply in need
of the riches of the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
Over the years we have taken many
teams to help train Mauritian leaders
and their churches. It is one of our
plans to start a Bible training school
in the nation. We have also held a
number of successful evangelistic
events in partnership with churches
that have seen significant numbers
being added to the church.
A predominantly Hindu nation,
Christians face much opposition in
the practise of their faith. In 2012, an
open air crusade with thousands of
Christians in attendance was attacked
by some radical Hindus, with fires
being set, and violence breaking out.
Since then, the response of the
government has been, rather than
protect the Christians when they
gather, to ban all open air Christian
events on the whole island. This has
pushed the influence of the church
back into their buildings and homes.
The need is urgent, as the churches
we work with seek to become effective
at winning people to Christ in these
circumstances of overt persecution
– this is a prime opportunity for the
implementation of the cell vision.
Prayer Focus:

Pray for protection against the
radical Hindus and a chnge of
policy by the government so

and conviction.
Pray for the outreaches to

vision.
Rivers of living water!
After 45 years of communism and
23 years of a harsh transition, the
churches in the South Eastern part
of Romania have entered a new and
refreshing season. It is a new level of
strategic planning, effective praying
for and boldly reaching out to the
unreached areas of Constanta County.
A small group of 8 churches are
mobilizing their resources, together
with their daughter churches, to
plant together 44 churches in an area
dominated by Greek Orthodox and
Muslims.
KT’s involvement in this vision
is deeply appreciated by local
leaders, who believe that KT’s great
experience in the area of evangelism,
church planting and spiritual
warfare can strengthen the church in
Romania. For example after Colin’s
last visit to Romania, Vasilica Croitor,
one of the mission leaders, said, “We
are seeing a new passion and desire
birthed in the hearts of the leaders
from our area”.
As we were preparing to launch the
Constanta 2022 project, our faith was
put to test. We simply knew that this
project was beyond the capacity of
the small and young churches from
Constanta County. To let us know
that we are not alone, on Pentecost
Sunday of 2012 God gave us some
strong reminders of his provision.

blessing over this vision was that God
led Pastor Colin Dye and Kensington

which is a clear fulfillment of the
prophecies that were spoken over our
region. We value the experience and
anointing that is being imparted to us
through this partnership.
We used to be alone, a “forgotten

A Kensington Temple Martyr:
Elizabeth ‘Wendy’ White
Friday 23rd June 1978 is remembered
as being the darkest day in Elim
history. On that day, twelve people
were slaughtered at the Elim Mission
station in the Vumba Mountains,
Northern Zimbabwe. Another would
die a week later. The sheer brutality of
this massacre shocked the world.
It is reported that as the missionaries
were hacked to death they prayed
for forgiveness and salvation for
their attackers. Their prayers were
answered. Eight of the attackers
experienced a vision in which they
saw the cross and the hand of God
coming against them in judgment.
Seven of this group who had passports
immediately left the country and
enrolled in Bible schools in West and
East Africa. The other one, not having
a passport, went to a Bible school in
Harare where Peter Griffiths (former
principal of the Elim School) was able
to meet him and hear his testimony.
As a result of the attitude of
forgiveness and prayer, the work
of God in Zimbabwe has flourished
rather than diminished. Following a
visit by Colin and the team where they
taught on the priority of salvation and
discipleship, one pastor went out and
planted 12 new churches in a year!

In Italy we have translated 10 out of
the 12 Sword of the Spirit manuals.
They are being used by at least 8
churches that we know of to teach,
either in their congregations or in
their Bible schools. KT has a church
in Rome with around 60 people.
Colin Dye has been to Italy several
times in last few years, from
Palermo in Sicily to Milan in the
north, ministering in different

Ministero INSIEME
Roma City Church
I was sent by Kensington Temple in
2001 to Rome to start a church. From
that time the influence of Kensington
Temple and the ministry of Colin Dye
has had a great impact not only in
Rome but all of Italy. The church in
Rome started with the IBIOL short
term missions that did a great work
of evangelism and spiritual warfare in
the city.
After the establishment of the Roma
City Church, KT’s influence grew in Italy
through the many conferences that
Colin held in Milan, Rome, Catania,
Pescara and Palermo. One of the most
powerful of all was in Palermo Sicily
with Colin Dye and Joseph Prince in
2011 with thousands attending.
Another great influence came from
the publishing the Sword of the Spirit
in Italian. They are used in many Bible
schools and churches throughout
the nation along with books like
Satan Unmasked and Mastering Your
Emotions. Also, through the cell vision
and making disciples we have two
new churches, in Calabria and Viterbo.
mission to Italy is that after 11 years
of ministry in Rome and the nation
the work is growing and influencing
many. This is unusual because the
average life of a missionary or mission
in Rome is 2 to 5 years, after that they
withdraw because of lack of results.
We give thanks for the grace of God
and the power of the prayers and
support of Kensington Temple and
Colin Dye because after 11 years
the work in Italy is growing and
prospering.

that it would spread across
mainland Italy.

The Muslim World
The Muslim World
All 12 Sword of the
Spirit manuals are
available in Arabic
Nearly one quarter of the world’s
population today is Muslim. The
Muslim population is a diverse
community of adherants spanning
the globe. Over fifty countries
have Muslim-majority populations,
while other groups are clustered
in minority communities on nearly
every continent.
Although Islam is often associated
with the Arab world and the Middle
East, fewer than 15% of Muslims are
Arab.
Islam in Europe
Islam is widely considered Europe’s
fastest growing religion, with
immigration and above average birth
rates leading to a rapid increase in
the Muslim population.
The exact number of Muslims is
difficult to establish, however, as
census figures are often questioned
and many countries choose not to
compile such information anyway.
20 [email protected] / www.kt.org
God loves Muslims and we believe
the Muslim world is ripe for a
harvest. We believe that God has
given KT a mandate not only to reach
out in love to Muslims but also to
explain the true nature of Islam to a
very ignorant Western World.
We have commissioned and written
some key publications on Islam and
we also have initiated the Institute
for Islamic Studies and are working
closely with believers in many parts
of the Middle East to support and
partner with them in the gospel.
We also are funding full time
evangelists working in the Middle
East to great effect. Limited financial
support, aid and visits are given
to persecuted Christians in hostile
nations and we would very much like
to increase this help through your
faithful giving.
Colin Dye has a strong Sword of the
Spirit teaching TV programme that is
broadcast four times a day five times
a week on free to air satellite to over
120 million homes throughout the
middle East and Africa
teams but they do lack the resources
to do it effectively.
Colin Dye recently received an email
from Dr Michael Youssef who runs
the El Malakoot satellite channel
broadcasting Christian teaching into
the Arabic nations.
We also desire to raise more funds
through GAP so that we can increase
both the quality and quantity of
our European and home missions
reaching out across London and
other key cities in Great Britain and
Europe.
I have just returned from preaching
in Alexandria Egypt. There were
many vacationing Egyptians who
work in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf
countries. With tears many of them
said the Malakoot Sat has been
an answer to years of prayer. They
have no church, or Bible teachers
in Arabia. Some told me of how
much your ministry really meant
to them and that they will visit KT
when in London. Thank you for your
partnership in the Gospel to places
that are so desperate for it.
We also desire to raise finance to
plant hundreds of churches in certain
Muslim majority nations we have
partners who are ready to train and
send church planters in these nations
Prayer Focus:

KT involvement in Brazil
Senior Minister Colin Dye has been
ministering in Brazil from the early
1990s speaking at the 2 million
strong March for Jesus and bringing
apostolic input to key national
church groups there.
A word of knowledge
In the past 20 years of apostolic and
prophetic impartation thousands of
people have been healed, delivered,
saved and baptized with Holy Spirit.
Broken lives have been restored.
Strong, anointed and balanced Bible
teaching that has been the foundation
for many churches, pastors and
leaders.
KT has a thriving Brazilian ministry
here in London and from that we have
begun to encourage new churches in
strategic cities in Brazil. One of the
key church plants we have supported
is in Recife where they have set up a
church ‘Novo Tempo’ on the borders
of a very needy favela (Slum). As well
as winning the lost, food, clothing
I will never forget one evening we
were gathered in a big gymnasium
in São Paulo. There were over 18.000
people there when Colin got the
microphone and before anything he
said, “AMANDA ! Where are you?
AMANDA! Where are you? God
brought you here, you don’t know
him yet, but he knows you and has a
plan for your life. Come here on the
platform I will pray for you.” Silence
fell in that noisy place when a young
girl lifted up her hand trembling and
crying saying, “I am Amanda!”
She didn’t know Jesus, but a friend
had invited her to the meeting. She
was saved before the preaching. That
created an amazing atmosphere
for what would happen after the
preaching, hundreds of salvations,
signs and wonders.
Prayer Focus:

Pray for finace to translate,

church in Recife and their

Pray for resources to grow the
work in the favelas in Recife.

turned City Church of Stockholm into
a sending church. The effectiveness
of a mission is not judged only by its
fruit, but by the fruit of the fruit –
that we call multiplication!
Two Brothers with a passion
Sweden and Europe is a mission field
indeed, and many more labourers
have to be trained.
Colin Dye and Kensington Temple’s
strategy in starting Bible schools
24 [email protected] / www.kt.org

for God who came to IBIOL. Little
did we know what impact that year
would have on our lives!
Prayer Focus:
•
•
Pray for the historical
Christian heritage to regain its
strength in Sweden
Pray against the secular,
postmodern worldview that
has come to dominate society
and that Christians would
be bold in expressing their
faith.

Church. Pray that every KT member
and every cell group will have a

mission: to pray, give and go to the
nations.
Day 2: Pray for the 119 different
nations that are represented in KT.
We are the most multinational church
in the world. Pray for our training

continue to prepare people in our

difference in their home nations. Pray
that God will send us people from the
four corners of the world to come and
be trained with us at KT. Call them
forth in the Spirit.

to London and the World for Christ?
Pray for others in your cell to do the
same and encourage them in it.
Day 6: Pray for the KT church
members to be bold when witnessing
