Dynamic Word Today….. 

The Dynamic Word for this week is

about giving to the Lord.

Straight away, most people think 

about the big M. (Money)

The Lord sees our giving as a sign of 

love, not mere obedience. It is an

attitude of heart rather thanobligation, FOR THE Lord LOVES a

CHERFUL GIVER, Amen.

Sadly many preachers have flogged the

congregation over money and the need 

to give, instead of encouraging the

saints of God to be in a closer and 

deeper relationship with God through

 Jesus Christ. I remember on many 

occasions as the Lord led me in various

services to put a great big basket on

the floor next to the usual offeringbasket and call people up and 

challenge them as to which one God 

more interested in. The one in which

you put some money, or the other one

in which you surrender your entire life

and see yourself giving to the Lord.

Remember a wonderful song by Ray 

Boltz, entitled…  “Thank you for Giving

to the Lord” 

Some of the lyrics go like this…. 

Thank you for giving to the Lord 

I am a life that was changed.

Thank you for giving to the Lord 

I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you

 And said, "Remember the time

 A missionary came to your church

 And his pictures made you cry.

You didn't have much money But you gave it anyway.

 Jesus took the gift you gave

 And that's why I am here today." 

One by one they came

Far as the eye could see

Each life somehow touched 

By your generosity.

Little things that you had done

Sacrifices made.

Unnoticed on the earth

In heaven now proclaimed.

 And I know up in heavenYou're not supposed to cry.

But I am almost sure

There were tears in your eyes.

 As Jesus took your hand 

 And you stood before the Lord.

He said, "My child look around you.

Great is your reward." 

(Chorus)

Thank you for giving to the Lord 

I am a life that was changed.Thank you for giving to the Lord 

I am so glad you gave.

You see my dear friends, giving

releases the reward, not the obedience.

God has given us Time, Treasure and 

Talent, but shamefully most Christians

give of their tithe and believe that 

satisfies the commitment. In all truth,

God doesn’t really need our money, Hehas all things anyway. He looks at our 

attitude of giving, of sowing and where

our heart is.

For Janine and I, like many who have

 picked up our cross and decided to

 follow Jesus it’s with our Treasure, our 

talents and our time.

So today, I want to encourage you to

invest all three in His Kingdom, for 

…Great is our rewar d.

Thank you for Giving to the LORD.

MINISTRY REPORT  ….. 

EAST AFRICA – LEADERS CONFERENCE 

MOMBASA 26 Aug – 1st 

Sept 2013

Wow, Wow and wow.

Thank you Lord for the work you have done in

Mombasa during this leader’s conference.

To be perfectly honest with you, I was a little tentative

about this trip into Kenya, as the recent trips had been

 plagued with challenges and many accusers trying to

disrupt what I Know God wants for East Africa. I made

a fleece with God, last trip or new beginning. I know,

you laugh because I was being silly to test the Lord,

but be real, we have all experienced this.

I departed for Nairobi airport where if you recall, they 

had a major fire that decimated the entire airport 

terminal and they are now operating from a tented 

camp on the apron, together with the domestic flights

 from their cargo hanger. As I walked up to the

immigration officer, she looked at my entry card,

scanned my passport and with a big smile warmly 

said, welcome back to Kenya pastor, I trust your visit 

will be blessed. We exchanged blessings and I felt that 

old excitement flood back into my spirit. Oh it’s going

to be a great time in God ’ s purpose here in Kenya.

 Although we departed nearly 2 hours behind schedule

I had a short and very enjoyable domestic fight in the jump seat from Nairobi to Mombasa and finally 

arrived in the domestic arrivals lounge at Moi 

International Airport. As I exited into the open waiting

area, where you look out over the crowds trying

desperately to recognize your host in a sea of waving

boards and the over eager taxi operators I was

humbled to see bishop Benson and an entire

entourage rushing forward to meet me.

It was such a

blessing and great 

honor to be sowarmly received 

and as we hugged 

and greeted I just 

knew that this was

going to be a

 fantastic conference. The Lord truly had prepared the

ground and was encouraging me to know that this

was His will and His plan. For the first time in many 

months I felt that the vision God had given me back in

1994 was coming back on track and that our desire to

see Africa Worship the Lord Jesus Christ was being

 fulfilled.

The theme of the conference was Acts 3:6

But Peter said, “ Silver and gold I have not; but what I

have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of 

Nazareth rise up and walk ” .

Much of the teaching and equipping was focused on

 APOSTOLIC REFORMATION, CHURCH GOVERNMENT 

and understanding the THINGS PERTAINING TO THE 

KINGDOM.

The days of conference were just awesome and as we

moved into day three and four the word had spread 

and many pastors and leaders from across the region

had begun to gather and were hungry for the ministry 

of God’s word. 

The days were busy 

with 2 or 3 two

hours sessions of 

ministry each day,

 plus all the round table discussions

with the senior 

leaders outside of 

conference, where

we would informally sit and fellowship and talk about 

the things pertaining to the Kingdom.

Bishop Benson Mathuma and the Leaders of the

Pentecostal Church of Acts had organized a great 

conference, which I believe became a spiritual 

watershed for them.

We had sessions in His presence that were truly 

awesome, and during the last session on the Saturday 

as I was teaching, the power of God just released into

the meeting in such a mighty way that people were

being healed and touched, where they sat, no alter 

calls, no prayer lines, just the gentle moving of the

Holy Spirit. I found myself leading worship (miracle

because I can’t usually hold a note, let alone be in the

worship team). T here wasn’t a person standing in that 

 place. All were either out under the power of God or 

 flat on their face before the Lord. Thank you Lord,

thank you Holy Spirit for such healing and filling inyour presence.

It was also a time to repair relationships and rebuild 

into other pastors who had been hurt by things of the

 past where various “suitcase” preachers and “MPESA” 

Pastors had extorted money from them and had 

shown them a man centered empire, rather than the

Kingdom of God.

 All told, what a blessing to be in Mombasa and the

things God has done to lay foundation stones for the

building of His Kingdom in the Region, and we look  forward to making this an annual event. Praise God.

Second Leg

KISUMU 2 - 5 Sept 2013 

On the Monday I left Mombasa and headed down to

Kisumu on Lake Victoria.

Once again I arrived and was greeted by the Host 

Pastor and his branch pastors, who were eager to get 

started and wanted to soak up all that they could in

the few days we had together.

Pastor George and his wife Jacky minister in an

informal area where things can be a little rough, but 

what stood out for me is their dedication to the calling

God has given them and I salute them in the Lord for 

obedience and commitment.

We had such wonderful sessions both in the meetings

and the long hours at their home with the other 

 pastors just sharing and building together in the Lord.

I was richly blessed to have Bishop Sam ………. from

Kakamega, as well as Pastor Mathias Wanjala from

Bongoma came down to join us for two days and this

enabled us to build new layers onto our partnerships

in the Lord. Ps. Mathias was part of our mission trip in

2011 and Bishop Sam hosted Gavin and I in Kakamega

last year November, so it was really precious to spend 

time together again. Thank you Brothers for your 

commitment to Dynamic Life Ministries and God’ s

Kingdom, may you continue to prosper in the Lord.

On the Thursday morning before leaving Kisumu, Ps

George and I had the opportunity to spend a few 

hours in their prayer cave on a hill overlooking Kisumu,

where we just had a great time for prayer, fellowship

and spiritual warfare for East Africa. I was so blessed 

to be able to visit there and although the climb was

tiring, once at the top it was stunning.

Next time I’ll be

 fitter or rent a

helicopter.

They also

challenged me

to climb Mt.Kenya

Third Leg

KISUMU 2 - 5 Sept 2013 

From Kisumu I was collected by Bishop Henry Onsongi 

who ministers in Nairobi. We travelled to his home

village in Sakwa where we spent two days

The setting in the rural area was very peaceful and we

had great 

meetings with

some 40 or so

Pastors each

day. They were

so thankful 

that Ministry 

had come to

rural areas, as

they always have to travel into the city to attend 

meeting. They really enjoyed it and they went out of 

their way to bless me and care for me. Thanks guys, I

was so blessed to be there with you.

KENYA wrap-up

Well I can say that this was a super blessing. The two

weeks were fully utilised with only the first and last 

day with one additional day for travelling. The rest 

were filled with meetings and dialog sessions with

both the leaders and 5 fold ministers.

For some strange reason, about 90% of my photos did 

not save to the memory card so I have sadly lost them.

Over 10 active days of ministry I spent 80hours

teaching and preaching and I am so blessed that God 

upheld my physical body, and voice to complete such a

busy schedule and always feel ready to go, all the

time.

It is so wonderful to experience how God sustains us

and makes a way for us to walk in His purposes and 

 fulfill the call He has given us. This trip has really 

blessed me, in that the hospitality, love and genuine

 people helped me see what the Lord still wants us to

do in East Africa, as well as around the world, as wecontinue in the call of God and seek his face day by 

day.

.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED THIS MISSION 

 AND INVESTED IN ITS SUCCESS – ALL GLORY TO GOD

DYNAMIC LIFE MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL  An Apostolic Company (Presbytery) of Ministers and Associated Ministries relating together …. 

UPCOMMING MISSIONS 

PAKISTAN – 24 Oct – 3 Nov 2013

The next major mission is the Leaders Conferences

 planned for PAKISTAN. The first one is planned in

Faisalabad for 4 days and then Lahore for 2 days.

Wow this is really going to be an exciting time, as the pastors there have been busy building together and 

seeking the Lord for great things.

We have been so blessed by the opportunity to

minister into Pakistan via SKYPE over the past few 

months, and this had really opened doors and we

can’t wait to meet all the pastors in person.

Sadly during this trip we will only have time and 

resources to visit these two cities, but we trust God to

be able to visit some of the other towns and ministries

next trip.

The need in Pakistan, as with many areas, for sound 

 Apostolic Foundation and strong Leadership is very 

real and we count it a privilege to be able to go and 

bless, teach and equip our brothers as they shepherd 

God’s flock. 

The budget for Pakistan is $4000.00 and Janine and I

have committed 30% already from our own funds, but 

we need your support and generosity so that we can

 fulfill this assignment properly.

Please consider sowing into the Ministry and help us

continue to fulfill the assignments God has entrusted 

to us.

Magnify Christ; reflect His presence, His Glory 

and Anointing through boldness and power in

the Holy Ghost. Collectively imparting Spiritual 

Gifts; teaching; equipping and making Disciples

in the Kingdom of God so that the Body of Christ 

can fulfil our full potential and purpose in Him.

Isaiah 60.1 & Rom 1.11

Vision and Purpose ….. 

Covenant Partnerships bring unity in

diversity ……. and together we can do

more. As we sow into this Ministry and invest good seed 

unto good works, we are confident that the Lord is

watching over His word in Luke 10:2 where He said,

“ The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few:

 pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he

would send forth labourers into his harvest ”.

In all honesty, going to the places we do, costs time

and finance and Janine and I need your financial 

support, as we are not able to carry the burden from

our own household budget anymore.

Our desire is to equip leaders, pastor pastors and care

 for them by being there as mentors, teachers and 

 provide Apostolic Leadership and foundation, so we

trust God that there are others who have the ability to

sow and partner with us so as every joint supplies the

Kingdom of God is fulfilled.

We need your Partnership, Friendship and Sponsorship

and ask you to consider coming into partnership with

Dynamic Life Ministries  and sow financially into the

Ministry.

The account details are listed below, and I know that 

your love gift will financially enable us to be released 

throughout the world to fulfill His calling, purpose and 

assignment he has entrusted to us.

Thank you and God Bless.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

God Bless
