Leadership Training in Kampala, Uganda by Isaac Mphande
The Lord continues to open doors throughout Africa. Doors in Uganda are open for a great work there. Pray the leaders who received the training will put into practice what they have learned and reach children with the Gospel of Christ. Our prayer is to teach children to become disciples who make disciples themselves.
Work Smarter, Not Harder by Dr. Clint May
You may not know this, but L.I.T. has only three staff members: one full- time (me) and two part-time (our financial secretary and our editor). My responsibilities include filling in the blanks between administration, website, church support, mission trips, training, newsletters, writing, blogging, and so much more. I am not complaining—I love what I do!
My dad told me years ago, “Work smarter, not harder.” You may be surprised to learn that I have not traveled to any of the overseas countries yet. Lord willing, I plan to do so in the spring of 2025. I have worked with many leaders online without ever leaving the U.S., from training more than 1,000 pastors and leaders in India to mentoring multiple leaders worldwide.
Isaac Mphande, for example, took what he had learned through our online training and personal mentoring from me and trained about 2,700 leaders in ten African countries. The training resulted in more than 22,000 children trusting Christ as their Savior and Lord. I could give many more examples of leaders who love their countries and faithfully carry the vision there.
Would you keep us in your daily prayers? The Lord is on the move. This is His ministry; however, He calls us to pray for His will to be done to raise up workers unto the harvest. He has heard our prayers. He is sending us children to fulfill the harvest. Our passion is to make disciples of children who then make disciples of other children.
We are at the point where we need additional staff. Our fundraiser goal this year is $100,800. If we could increase our monthly ministry support by $8,400, we could afford the additional staff we need. Our monthly support allows us consistent funds to operate as a ministry. All gifts are greatly appreciated. Please help us by telling others about L.I.T. and our mission to “Empower The Next Generation to Make Disciples Who Make Disciples.”
Financial Fraud and Loss
L.I.T. lost more than $15,000 from our checking and savings accounts two weeks ago. The thieves were able to transfer the funds from our accounts. The bank will not refund that money, saying it was a transfer. What the enemy meant for evil, the Lord meant for good. Half of the money has been restored. We are praying for the Lord's provision to restore all the funds.
Praises
For the international growth of L.I.T.

For the 20,000+ children who have trusted Christ as their personal Savior and Lord in Africa
Prayer Requests
