Financial Goals are In for 2010

Headlines - West Africa, Sierra Leone and 2010 Global Leadership Institute

Reporting: Dr. John Thompson, All Nations Fellowship, Tulsa Oklahoma

(Thanks to the friendship of Heaven and so many here Tulsa, Claremore, Gainesville, New York and around the World. Thanks friends.)

I am thrilled to report that all fifty pastors have been sponsored for the Global Leadership Institute for 2010! We have reached our goal of $20,000 ($400 per pastor) to provide food, lodging, transportation, and a large bag of rice for each of the fifty pastors who are gathering for two weeks of training. Today the last half of the pastor sponsorships (25 of the 50 pastors) was given through a special love offering taken for these pastors at Liberty Church in Tulsa. Thank you to everyone over this past month and to those at Liberty today who have made a strategic investment in the lives of these fifty pastors. I give great thanks to the Lord for his awesome provision!

I have included a list of the pastors below and would ask that you please pray for the pastors and instructors.

Our team from the USA (including myself) will depart on Tuesday for Sierra Leone. (Each of these team members raised their own support to go.) We will arrive on Thursday in Bo, Sierra Leone to participate in the last two days of training of the new class of 25 pastors. This class arrived last Monday and are being trained by four pastors who were part of the first year of training last year. I have attached a picture taken this week of this 2010 cohort of pastors. On Monday, Oct. 4th, our 2009 cohort of pastors will return for year two of the Global Leadership Institute to be trained by our team.

Thank you all for your heart for what God is doing in West Africa and for your heart for the Global Leadership Institute. Here is the list of pastors and instructors:
