News from Madagascar

/in , /by

Pastor Najo writes:-

We were very happy to have our brother Chris (Our Pioneer from South Africa) among us last week. He preached in two different Baptist Churches, went to the Bible School to talk about The Rooftop and lead a two day seminar about Church Growth and Missional Church. We also attended the workshop exchange (51 organisations were there) where he met one missionary from his area.

We are waiting for a decision from the Ministry of the Interior because we want The Rooftop Madagascar to be recognized by the government. All the documents needed have been already sent. Please pray for a successful outcome.

During the Baptist Pastoral Retreat, on 23rd to 26th April 2019, I will present The Rooftop to those gathered. Please pray that God will go before me and prepare hearts to Join Jesus in His Mission.

The Rooftop in Madagascar – 2

/in , , , /by

Our Rooftop Pioneer from South Africa was in Madagascar – He writes:-

My day started too early for my liking but am glad to connect with people of God from different mission organizations and churches gathering to share and exhibit some of the work they do and find ways to cooperate. I am especially impressed by the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) which owns airplanes to assist these organizations and churches to reach far and wide taking the gospel of Jesus Christ. The particular interest is taking it to the unreached people. I am looking forward to proceedings of this day.

What a wonderful experience with 51 entities exhibiting What each does for and in the name of the Lord to reach their country for Christ what is more wonderful is that the Rooftop is among them seeking to equip and encourage the church to Join Jesus in His mission.

Praise God for Bro, Najo, the Pioneer in Madagascar who works tirelessly to make The Rooftop make its mark also.

Our South Africa Pioneer, Chris Dikana writes:-

Brothers and sisters I am in Antananarivo, Madagascar this week. Praise God for a fruitful day on Monday at a Bible College with students and lecturers doing the Rooftop presentation. Today I was with a group of ministers and church leaders from different denominations dealing with the idea of the Missional church and tomorrow the subject will be Church growth. Most of these leaders were in the Rooftop training last year when I was here. Pray for me as I will be dealing with church growth and also at a mission exhibition on Friday where we will promote the Rooftop from an exhibition stand among other Ministries.

Open Doors in Kentucky and Ohio

On Saturday, March 9, The Rooftop International Council will be meeting in Northern Kentucky. Prior to their meeting, Dennis Pethers and John Whaley will be at a conference on Spiritual Awakening hosted by the Northern Kentucky Baptist Association. They will also be at a Kentucky Statewide Leaders Gathering on Monday, March 11. At both gatherings, Dennis will be speaking about our great need for spiritual awakening in the church resulting in the Church moving beyond the walls to engage the lost and make disciples. We will also be connecting with leaders about Rooftop Encounters in Louisville and Lexington later this year.
In addition to the doors God is opening in Kentucky, we have also had the opportunity to connect with leaders in Ohio. At the present, plans are being discussed for a Cincinnati Rooftop Encounter with the possibility of Rooftop Encounters in Cleveland and Columbus.

God is at work in Arizona!

On April 14-24, Dennis Pethers and John Whaley will be in Arizona meeting with pastors and leaders as plans are being made for future Rooftop Encounters in Phoenix and Tucson. Over the past few years, we have had the opportunity to lead Rooftop Encounters in both cities with various groups. These past Encounters have set the stage for Rooftop City Encounters in 2019. Arizona is a challenging mission field. The majority of those who live in the state do not know Jesus and don’t know they don’t know Jesus. It is also a mission field with churches who desire to seek the heart of God for their cities and ‘Join Jesus in His Mission’ to seek and save the lost.

Cheryl Dorsey, who serves on The Rooftop US Board, is coordinating all the details in partnership with the Chicago Metro Baptist Association, Chicago United in Prayer, and other ministries across Chicagoland. During the past two Chicago Rooftop Encounters, God met with us powerfully and we are anticipating another great Rooftop Encounter as we pursue the heart of God for Chicago! In spite of all you hear on the news about Chicago, God is at work through His people as churches and ministries are uniting to pray together, care together, and share the Good News together across Chicagoland!
