RENEWED Ministries Update – 16 July 2024
NEWS PRAYER AND SUPPORT UPDATE!
This is the RENEWED Ministries update for 16 July, as provided by Reverend Courtney Richards.
Hello friends and prayer partners. Grace and peace overflowing to you and your loved ones. You may have been wondering how come you haven’t heard from me in a while. As I stated some time ago, I have been on leave to rest and get better as I wasn’t feeling too well in March and April with elevated blood pressure and exhaustion. I praise God for restoring me. I am doing well now as things are back to normal levels. I am feeling and doing much better and still working on my rest.😃
It has not been easy as I have to supervise the ministry and especially Africa Missions 2024 while trying to get rest. The training team in Africa this year was an all-Africa training team that went to Ethiopia and South Sudan (with Zambia to come. Please see below). They did very well and the reports from those two countries are that the training on “Discipleship and Leadership: The Jesus Way” was well received and is being put into practice already. Praise God. There were some challenges but our international leadership team has been working with the particular individuals on resolving those. These challenges are to be expected as we expand the ministry to more countries in Africa and anywhere else God leads us. Please pray for our teams: training teams, national leadership teams in each country and our international leadership team which gives oversight to and planning for the ministry in Africa and other countries.
We had a RENEWED Ministries Executive Committee meeting yesterday, July 15. One key item on the agenda was our financial situation. It is very concerning. We need significant financial support in the months ahead for my regular support and for Zambia Missions 2024. We need $6000 USD to cover the costs of the discipleship and leadership, The Jesus Way, training in Zambia in early October. We must get much of this money by the beginning of September to pay deposits etc for the conference hall and accommodations for the trainers and trainees plus purchase plane tickets for our trainers. God has always provided for us through persons and churches like you! We, in RENEWED Ministries, are exceedingly grateful to you all.
*PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD’S BOUNTIFUL PROVISION FOR THESE VITAL FINANCIAL NEEDS. AND PLEASE GIVE AS GOD PROVIDES. PLEASE CONSIDER A FAITH GIFT OR A SACRIFICIAL GIFT. WE NEED IT!*

Always in God’s grip,
Courtney
