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! 2 [email protected] / www.kt.org 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! www.kt.org / [email protected] 3 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. www.kt.org / [email protected] 5 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. www.kt.org / [email protected] 7 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. www.kt.org / [email protected] 9 France France David and Christine Thabot in their building under renovation The people of France: • French: 69.5% • North African: 9.2% • Africa/Caribbean: 4% • Asian: 2% • France total population is 62,636,580. • Christian: 61.14% (38,296,005) • Muslim: 10.5% (6,576,841) • • Non-religious: 26.03% (16,304,302) Jewish: 0.94% (588,784). The Church in France: • Catholic Church has over 10,457,500 members • Reformed Church has over 50,000 members • Assemblies of God has over 65,714 members. Answers to prayer: • The Evangelical movement has grown to over 600,000 people • North Africans are starting to come to know the gospel and becoming 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. 10 [email protected] / www.kt.org 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 Thabot 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. Prayer Focus: • • • • • • Pray against the rise of Islam in France and for Christians to have influence in the government. Pray for David and Christine Thabot for strength and that God would raise up leaders in the church. Prayer against secularism within the government. That our Paris church would be delivered from persecution by the authorities in order to grow to its full potential. That the training work in Marseille would flourish and train high calibre workers for the French speaking harvest. That many French-speaking Muslims would find Christ. www.kt.org / [email protected] 11 Mauritius Mauritius 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. 12 [email protected] / www.kt.org 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 that the Christians will be free to hold open air evangelistic meeings once again Islam is rapidly growing in Mauritius. Pray that the gospel is preached with power and conviction. Pray for the outreaches to drug addicts that we have been involved with. www.kt.org / [email protected] 13 Romania Romania Colin Dye with Vasilica Croitor in Medgidia, Romania The people of Romania: • Romania’s total population is 21,190,154. The capital city of Romania is Bucharest. • Christian: 96.96% (20,545,973) • Non-religious: 2.39% (506,445) • Romanian: 86.5% • Hungarian: 6.6% • Romani (Gypsy): 3.8% • The Church in Romania: • Romanian Orthodox church has 12,629,371 members In 2012 a new project called Constanta 2022 was launched in Romania. KT is partnering with this 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. Colin’s message that day was a reminder that God has in store for us rivers of living waters, and many will 14 [email protected] / www.kt.org • • • Roman Catholic church has 676,619 members The Lord’s Army has 150,000 members Romania has seen big Evangelical growth, which is the fourth fastest in Europe. There are now over 6,000 Evangelical church across Romania. drink from those rivers. We celebrated the promise of God’s power for harvest. The second sign of God’s blessing over this vision was that God led Pastor Colin Dye and Kensington Temple to be a part of the vision, 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 remote area of Romania” but now we look ahead with great anticipation, knowing that God is going to give us favour for each of the 44 villages. We are rejoicing today - as if this vision was already completed. Prayer Focus: • • Pray against Islamic movements are beginning to grow in the nation, especially in the city of Constanta. Pray for the Constanta 2022 project. www.kt.org / [email protected] 15 Zimbabwe Zimbabwe Amanda Dye and Kemi Ajayi visiting Pastor Ngove’s family in Zimbabwe The people of Zimbabwe: • Zimbabwe total population is 12,644,041. The capital city of Zimbabwe is Harare. • Christians: 77.99% (9,861,088) • Non-religious: 1.40% (2,427,656) • Bantu: 97.8% • Other African: 2.2% The Church in Zimbabwe: • Zim Assembly of God church has 1,125,000 members • Catholic church has 646,561 members • Zion Apostolic church has 445,000 members • The church has grown in numbers and passion amidst great trials • In the 10 years between 2000 and 2010 there have been over 10,00 new churches plaanted. church model into the villages and rural areas that still need the gospel desperately. There is a hunger for discipleship amongst the leaders who are keen to take what we have taught and demonstrated to a higher level. In spite of the state of the nation the Christians are still joyful and always willing to serve the Lord in whatever capacity they are called. One of those killed, Wendy White, an experienced nurse, teacher and social worker who had joined the Elim School the previous year, was a member of Kensington Temple. We have held a number of cell discipleship conferences and encounter weekends in Zimbabwe. It is our intention to partner with some key ministers there to take our cell 16 [email protected] / www.kt.org 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! Prayer Focus: • • Pray that the church in Zimbabwe would mature in matters of discipleship. Pray that the KT partnership with key leaders in Zimbabwe would bear much fruit that remains. www.kt.org / [email protected] 17 Italy Italy Claudio Ferro at an outdoor baptism service for members of Roma City Church The people of Italy: • Italy’s total population is 60,097,564. The capital city is Rome. • Christians: 82.38% (49,508,373) • Non-religious 14.13% (8,491,786) • Muslim: 2.6% (1,562,537) The Church in Italy: • Catholic church has 38,097,744 members • Assembly of God in Italy has 127,820 members • Romanian Orthodox church has 265,000 members • In the 10 years between 2000 and 2010 there have been over 1,000 new churches planted in Italy. 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 denominations including our very own Elim. The latest event was late last year when our KT Pastor in Rome Claudio Ferro hosted a conference in Rome in November. 18 [email protected] / www.kt.org 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. Prayer Focus: • • • Pray for the Sword of the Spirit teaching to continue to be a great teaching resource in Italy. Pray for our church in Rome to multiply and prosper, and for Claudio Ferro and his team that lead the church. Pray for the powerful move of God taking place in Sicily and that it would spread across mainland Italy. Probably the greatest success of KT’s www.kt.org / [email protected] 19 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: • • • • • Pray for revival to come to Muslim nations and for huge doors to open for the gospel to be preached. Pray for the true nature of Islam to be revealed to all. Pray for Muslims in Britain to find Christ. Pray for KingdomSat that is now broadcasting in Indonesia, that God’s anointing will be upon it. Pray for Islamic extremism to falter and fail. www.kt.org / [email protected] 21 Brazil Brazil Colin Dye ministering at Novo Tempo, Recife with Kristian Lythe and Marcelo Albuquerque and medical assistance is given to the poor. Finance is needed to expand this powerful ministry. The people of Brazil: • Brazil’s total population is 195,423,252. The capital city of Brazil is Brasilia. • Christian: 91.40% (178,616,852) • Non-religious: 2.24% (4,377,481) • Mixed race: 38% • African: 6.4% • Asian: 5.6% 22 [email protected] / www.kt.org The Church in Brazil: • Catholic church has 103,832,117 members • Assemblies of God has 15,676,692 members • God Is Love church has 2,155,689 members • Brazil has seen massive growth among Evangelical churches. We are also seeking to publish and supply training materials to help disciple the powerful revival taking place in that nation. We need £50,000 to translate and publish the Sword of the Spirit training manuals into Portuguese. 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, print and distribute the Sword of the Spirit manuals. Pray for the KT Brazilian chueches - Novo tempo and Anointing and Life - that they would reach and disciple Brazilians living in London.
