Praise be to God that the Kennedy family, our TWR colleagues in Benin, arrived safely in Benin after a short home assignment and holiday in the UK. We are incredibly grateful to have them back. They add a key element to the team.
Currently I am in route to Johannesburg to help develop a strategic ministry plan. As I mentioned in my last blog, this strategic ministry plan will then drive our decisions, structures and budgets. This is the first of two meetings I will attend in Johannesburg in the next six weeks.
Just as a point of clarification, the strategic ministry plan that we are developing deals with the specifics of how TWR Africa will accomplish the vision and mission of TWR. The vision of TWR is to reach the world for Christ so that lasting fruit is produced. The mission of TWR is summarized as assisting the church to make disciples of all peoples by proclaiming the gospel, instructing in biblical doctrine and working through partnerships. Visit www.twr.org for more information.
Please pray that these meetings would be Spirit lead with unity, clear biblical reflection, wisdom, understanding and creative innovation. Also continue to pray that I would remain desperate for God and that He would give me wisdom in eliminating busyness and increasing true kingdom work.
Grace & Peace — Paul
