Pastor’s Seminar Invitation
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ. This is the invitation of Pastor’s seminar of February 5th 2019. The Rooftop Ministry has organised that seminar with “Church of Brothers”. Help us with your prayers for that work.
A few updates from Chris Dikana in South Africa:
I finished the Rooftop training in Johannesburg and church leaders are signing up to join the Rooftop so that they can start implementing. I am leaving for Madagascar tonight to do a 2days seminar also on 20th and 21st. Keep praying for protection and open doors.
Saints I am in Johannesburg as planned doing Rooftop training to church leaders (pastors, bishops and lay leaders, most of them are from Nigeria). The is well received and appreciated. I have completed steps one and two and will do step 3 this afternoon. Doors are opening also in Angola, Nigeria and Mozambique.
Good people of God greetings. God has been good these days. I trained 38 pastors including the President, General Secretary and leaders of the ministers fraternal in National Baptist Convention in Namibia. The training took place on 27-31 August. It was difficult because there had to be 2 interpreters into the 2 dominant national languages. We now pray for financial resources to translate the materials into the 2 languages and also go back to train ambassadors for each of regions so that they can start implementing.
Boniface Ojode writes: Today we had a successful breakfast meeting with over 30 pastors at ACK GUEST HOUSE Likoni Mombasa to share with them the vision and mission of the rooftop ministry international and planning for evangelism program in Mombasa County at large. Glory to God
An update from Richard Tumwesigye in Uganda: Mr.Didas Mwesigye the acting Chairman for the Rooftop Uganda addressing the first team of the Friends of Jesus Ladies at the house today. I am happy to announce that we have three ladies at the house so far and we believe God for more to Join soon. Keep us in your prayers??????
This picture shows some of the pastors and leaders who gathered at the recent event in Panama City where Dennis Pethers, the International Pioneer for The Rooftop presented the vision of The Rooftop 2020 Vision and invited Panama to become one of the 100 countries that will join this movement.
The response was very positive, especially as The Rooftop materials are very soon to be available in Spanish, Dennis writes:
“It was so encouraging to speak with so many pastors following the presentation of the vision, repeatedly their comments were: ‘We need this movement in Panama, churches must learn how to reach beyond the walls’. ‘This is God’s perfect timing, we are ready!’ ‘Yes, we long for an awakening and want to part of this movement’.
The visit to Panama is part of a new focus for The Rooftop with future visits being planned to Argentina, El Salvador and Mexico as the movement begins to expand across Latin America.
Over the past week, The Rooftop movement has taken a key step into D.R. Congo – Safari Akili writes:
“Thank you for your prayers, I have now cast the vision of The Rooftop in D.R. Congo and the program was really good. Yesterday I talked to about 200 people in the church and then in the youth conference and today to key pastors in the city of Goma”.
It was great to hear this news and to be informed that the reception was very warm and there is now an open door into this country.
Over the past few days we have also begun to explore doors that are opening in Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
Joining Jesus in His Mission is an adventure!
The Rooftop International is pleased to announce the completion of the Care and Share equipping resource to The Rooftop Academy.
Across the world there are many Christians that engage in caring ministries but never share their faith with those that they caring for. This may be in food banks, provision of clothing or helping with any number of practical needs. On the other hand there are many churches who focus on preaching the gospel but do not serve and care for those outside of the church. Care and Share equips Christians to engage in genuine care among those beyond the walls of the church and. at the same time, encourages them to receive the passion and confidence to share the good news of Jesus with those that they are caring for.
Care and Share can be downloaded from The Rooftop Academy.
Over the past few weeks there have been significant steps forward with The Rooftop ministry among Spanish-speaking churches in the US and there are many new opportunities for the ministry in Latin America.
Dennis Pethers, the International Pioneer writes:
“So much progress is being made among Hispanic churches—over the past few weeks we have completed the filming of the core teaching for The Rooftop in Spanish. This teaching is delivered by Josue Castro, now living in Arizona. In addition we have had the opportunity to connect with and preach at many churches in Arizona, Los Angeles and Dallas.
Perhaps most exciting of all is to see the way that each time I had the opportunity to preach in churches and challenge Christians to Join Jesus in His Mission, the response was so encouraging as people teemed forward and cried out to the Lord, asking Him to give them a fresh vision of His heart for lost people. Each time there was a tangible sense of the presence of God as he ministered to those who had responded. I long for a global awakening and it is always a thrill to see this taking place piece-by-piece.
As a result of connecting with many Hispanic churches in the US, there are now many opportunities opening in countries across Latin America—praise God!”
Dennis will be in Panama from 7–9th May presenting the vision of The Rooftop to pastors from across Panama City.
The Rooftop movement is connecting with churches across the world and encouraging Christians to ‘Join Jesus in His Mission’. Recently Dennis Pethers, the International Pioneer was speaking at New Hope Baptist Church in Mt Juliet Tennesee—his sermon title ‘Can these bones live’. The message was simple and direct: as we look at our own lives and the huge challenges facing the church in these days we can so easily give up on the hope that things could ever change for the better. In the midst of a seemingly hopeless situation, Ezekiel obeyed God and something amazing happened—dry bones lived! At the end of the message there was a remarkable response as many came to the front of the church in obedience to the word of God and in surrender to the Holy Spirit.
As The Rooftop movement continues across the world we are convinced that the best days for the gospel are in the future, there is hope—these bones can live.
