THE GOOD NEWS

2017 Edition 2WORLD MAP

2 Digest Edition 2 • 2017

THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST is spreading in West Africa! But the great need is still for properly equipped leaders

who can disciple others to follow Jesus.

SATURATE

WORLD MAP IS HELPING TO MEET THAT NEED IN A BIG WAY – BY SATURATING WEST AFRICA WITH EQUIPPING RESOURCES!

SO FAR …SINCE JANUARY OF 2016, DURING PHASES 1-3:• 18,000+ Shepherd’s Staffs [our 1,000-page equipping manual] have been given to church leaders in West African nations!• 12,000+ church leaders have attended World MAP seminars in Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Togo and Mali – they’ve been encouraged, taught the Word and sent forth with a Shepherd’s Staff!

WESTAFRICA

WHAT’S NEXT …Phase 4 of SATURATE begins in October 2017

with seminars in Burkina Faso, Guinea and Niger – including key teachings on Kingdom Pastoring, Unity,

Making Disciples (or Winning Your Nation for Christ), Anointing for Ministry, and more!

PLEASE JOIN US …We need your help! World MAP goes to remote areas where the needs are greatest – and the people are the poorest. We gather church leaders to teach them, and we feed them as well. Each leader also receives a Shepherd’s Staff, providing years of teaching and discipling materials.

“Dr. Frank’s teaching is something that is coming straight and directly from the throne room of God. It is like a revelation - a revelation for pastors.

This kind of teaching has been always in the Bible, but it is like somebody went deep into something, seeking something very special. It is like a treasure, a hidden treasure digging deep so that others can benefit as well.

So that is what Dr. Frank Parrish has been doing. Giving out his teaching is like giving a great treasure - a great hidden treasure to these African pastors.” Chantel Akoti

HIGHLIGHTS FROM

Sikasso: A last-minute change of venue was truly led of the Holy Spirit, bringing to mind Paul’s change of direction (see

Acts 16:6-10). Sikasso is remote, and few min-istries go there. Three of us squeezed into the back seat of a small pickup for 7 hours, bounc-ing and jolting along dry and dusty roads. But the fruit was well worth the journey!

Most of the pastors had never experienced a seminar. They were open, hungry and so very grateful to receive all that we brought to them. They needed encouragement, fresh vision and a renewed commitment to the cause of Christ. And boy, did they want The Shepherd’s Staff !

As you know, God always responds to hunger for Him – and there was such a strong response to the teaching of the Word and the moving of the Holy Spirit in our midst. What a wonderful, blessed time – with great fruit ahead as these beloved leaders use and apply what they’ve received!

Bamako: A tough start as we experienced heavy spiritual oppression over the seminar and the city. I contacted Wendy

to put out a bulletin to the World MAP Prayer Corps and on social media – resulting in great breakthrough by the next day!

The Holy Spirit was strong in our midst during a prayer time of commitment to be Kingdom leaders. Many pastors kneeled and even laid prostrate before the Lord. It was a powerful time of filling, releasing, renewing and fresh anointing, concluding with a great sense of victory along with explosive praise and thanksgiving to God – hallelujah!

A key pastor in the city then came forward

THIS SEMINAR

HAS BEEN UNLIKE

ANYTHING THAT HAS

EVER COME TO

TOGO

to repent for not working together with other pastors and for not being a Kingdom pastor. He confessed to the entire conference body and knelt to be prayed for. I knelt with him as the church leaders prayed for him. He then publically committed to be a Kingdom leader, even naming specific projects and places that he would help with.

Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to live in unity – and to have the resultant anointing and blessing of God’s Spirit among them! (See Psalm 133.)

Lome: A large seminar with 1,400 church leaders. The pastors were excited and hungry for the Word, attentive and taking notes. They were

very responsive to the ministry times as well, eagerly committing themselves to God’s Kingdom work and lifting strong praise and worship!

Our contact, Bishop Gake, has been in ministry 25 years. He is a respected leader and influential pastor.

He said, “This seminar has been unlike anything that has ever come to Togo. I be-lieve what was taught on the Kingdom and work of the Holy Spirit will have great impact and change in the Church of Togo. There will be long-term fruit from this.”

Pastors also commented to me that these teachings are what is needed right now. Pastors from many different groups were already gathering to discuss the teachings and how to implement them in ministry and in their relationships with each other.

TOGO

These are just a few highlights from Phase 3 of SATURATE West Africa in early 2017. I continued on to conduct 3 more World MAP seminars in Togo, and two more World MAP seminars in Benin.

Your prayers and support are what make this all possible. Phase 4 begins in October of 2017. From the pastors of West Africa – thank you for giving!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!WORLD MAP HAS AN INCREDIBLE OPEN DOOR TO EQUIP

EVEN MORE CHURCH LEADERS IN CHINA

CHINA

It is projected that by 2030, there will be more Christians per capita in China than anywhere else in the world – wow!

To date, we have provided China with 425,000+ Shepherd’s Staffs, our 1000-page book with a New Believer’s Training course and loads of Bible teaching to enable effective Kingdom pastoring.

It is clear that The Shepherd’s Staff has helped to raise up leaders and SPREAD THE GOSPEL IN CHINA.

Christian growth before The Shepherd’s Staff was available to Chinese believers.

In 1993, The Shepherd’s Staff distribution began in China, and the Christian population exploded by more than 1,050% in just 23 years.

WHEN DOES 1 + 1 = 150?

WHEN 1 CHURCH LEADER

GETS 1 BOOK, THEN SERVES

150 MORE PASTORS!

PLEASE ENJOY THIS TESTIMONY

OF THE MULTIPLIED FRUIT

OF A SINGLE SHEPHERD’S STAFF In 2001, my wife and I were

able to attend a free semi-nar. That’s where the Lord placed in our hands a copy of World MAP’s El Caya-

do del Pastor (The Shepherd’s Staff). The material is so powerful that I couldn’t help myself to speak in tongues and to glorify the Lord! [The book] is a great blessing to my life, and to the church that we pastor and where the Lord has allowed me to travel.

In 2004, the Lord called my wife and me to pastoral ministry. We began to work with families that had been spiritually wounded and did not want to attend any

church. That was the beginning of IGLESIA CRISTIANA AGAPE where we are pastoring to this day.

Normally, we pastors are always praying and looking for food to give to the sheep. The Lord spoke to our heart and showed us that the biblical way to build the saints is through discipleship. Having El Cayado del Pastor allowed us to start this in a biblical way.

At first we did not see numerical growth, but we did see spiritual growth, and that is what fills

us with joy. The material of El Cayado del Pastor teaches leaders to put their eyes on the Lord and not on men; we enjoy the labor, we feel like fish in the water developing the ministry of our Shepherd.

I have been sharing the topics in El Cayado del Pastor to our

what fills us with joy!

congregation. We have learned that souls will be built with the Word of God and not worldly techniques, which will only attract them but in the end, there is no edification for their lives.

I thank the Lord who has given me the desire to freely share

this valuable material with more than 150 pastors in different cities and states in Mexico. I give an introduction of the topics of El Cayado del Pastor in the

souls will be built with the Word of God, not worldly techniques…

pastors’ conferences and then share leadership issues that are so lacking in the people of God. Freely you have received, freely give (Mt 10: 8b).

In this year 2017 with God’s help, we hope to put El Cayado del Pastor in the hands of more

servants of the Lord. It is truly gratifying to see the faces of the pastors and the joy of receiving what they have often asked of God in prayer, material that helps them to edify and perfect the saints of the Lord with the grace and anointing of the Holy Spirit.
