Dear Friends,
Hello again from South Africa. The past week has been full, exciting, and, I believe, very fruitful. God is so very good to us! I am so very thankful to Him, and I am grateful for each of you have been interceding before the Father in my behalf. God bless you, each one!
My week started with a Pastors’ Meeting. We had pastors from the black township area gather together for a wonderful time of teaching, discussion, and Q&A. Most of these anointed men I have known from previous years. Others I met for the first time. Their hearts and minds were open to all the Lord gave me to share with them. It is such a rich thing to see truth become revelation in the lives of men of God.
At the close of this three day Pastors’ Meeting I had the great joy to welcome Decas Mwenzi and Friday Mumbi, who arrived by bus from Zambia. Decas had literally spent 48 hours on busses to travel from the far north part of Zambia to be with us, and, Friday, more than 30 hours. These two experienced men of God function as apostles; Decas giving oversight to 50 churches, and Friday leading more than 100 fellowships. These two men are my spiritual sons. We have walked together many years. They were happy to have made the sacrifice physically and financially to come and be with me.
So, the day after the Pastors’ Meeting we started our African Apostolic Dialogue. What a blessing to meet with seasoned, mature men of God from different parts of Africa! They came with real revelation and experiences to share, and they came to hear what the Spirit of God might speak. Thus, Friday evening, all day Saturday and into Sunday afternoon, we shared our hearts and had a very real sense of the Lord’s Presence among us. Oh, how good it is to see these men encouraged, strengthened, and refreshed! There was a common sense among them that they had received much and would go back with fresh insight and purpose.
Today I’m meeting with key people in the Church one-on-one. My first appointment was with a young man whom I had the joy of leading to know Jesus as Savior, and then to receive the fullness of the Spirit. Tomorrow I’ll spend most of the day with a new son-in-the-Lord. I’m also having opportunities to speak into the lives of each member of the Sweetlove family. What a blessing!
I’ll try to share more with you next week. Thank you for uplifting me in prayer,
Love ya . . . Bruce
