JOYCE MEYER - HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Everywhere volunteers are running around to finalize the hall and arrangements for tomorrow's Leadership Conference with Joyce Meyer, Phil Dooley and Matt Fry. Boxes and boxes of books are ready - each person who registered will get three copies of books by Joyce. Tonight volunteers will be trained.

Inside the hall Hillsong SA is practicing, doing sound checks and checking all the technical stuff. There is also a break away  room for prayer available.

Above is a photo of Independence Stadium where the open air Festival of Life will taken place this week-end – the lawn is covered with plastic tiles for protection (click on the photos for full view!). If you look closely you will see some prayer warriors on the far side of the field, interceding for the event.

The photo below shows more of the venue. Pray that God will fill each seat and the space in front of the stage. Trust Him that the Holy Spirit will meet every person at their point of need.

CELEBRATING LEADERSHIP

 

The Graduation Ceremony and Banquet of the African Leadership Institute (ALI) last night was a celebration of about 250 students who have completed their Leadership Training Cycle. Above - a photo of Chrisna von Gericke (Director of Training) enjoying a special moment with one of the students Nelly Dumeni (center) who shared about the life changing impact of the training.

The African Leadership Institute (Namibia) was founded to train and equip government, business, education and church leaders to bring biblical transformation to Africa. Hundreds of leaders have been trained or are in the process of being trained. Most leaders in Namibia agree: Africa should take responsibility for our continent and that the equipping of leaders should be one of our highest priorities.

The large group of influential leaders, family and friends who attended this significant event were challenged to transform their communities and play a role in advancing the process of equipping and developing leaders to transform Africa. For more in formation about ALI contact Renata Solomons at 0812315831 or secretary@thenamibiandream.info

Praise God for -

• A growing impact of the African Leadership Institute in raising up leaders. 
• Each student who completed the training and who are committed to influencing their world. 

Pray for leadership in Namibia and Africa - trust God to:

• Teach leaders in government, business, education and church to trust in Him. Psalm 21:7 
• Protect them from the influence of the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
• Give our leaders discretion, foresight, and understanding in making decisions. 1 Chronicles 22:12
• Generously answer each leader's prayer for wisdom. James 1:5
• Give leaders everywhere a tender heart of compassion toward those they lead and serve. Colossians 3:12
