1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,920
Thank you very much, Ben, and 
thank you very much, 

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,840
Christchurch, for inviting us 
again. 

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,240
We're glad to be here. 
My name is Michael and I always 

4
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:28,280
say this is my beautiful wife. 
I'm blessed and you are blessed 

5
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,480
too. 
We thank you for your support 

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,480
for us, our compassion work. 
Many of you have supported our 

7
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,120
children and the work in West 
Africa. 

8
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,040
So I'd like to just take us 
briefly through what we are 

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,280
doing and then ask that you 
continue to pray for us. 

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,840
We are glad to be here and we 
are enjoying every bit of our 

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,680
time here. 
Thank you. 

12
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,340
OK. 
So we are in base in Ghana is 

13
00:01:00,340 --> 00:01:03,740
the first flag you see. 
And then there is Togo and 

14
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:09,560
Benin, 3 nations. 
So from Ghana in the voter 

15
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,680
region in Hou, if you show the 
next slide, we've been moving 

16
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,920
into three nations. 
OK, next slide, please. 

17
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,320
And we are based in the City of 
Grace Church in Hou in the voter

18
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,080
region of West Africa, where I 
have Apostolic oversight over 

19
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,680
the churches in Ghana to go and 
Benin. 

20
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,720
And we are praying to move 
further into other nations in 

21
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,760
West Africa. 
We have three children. 

22
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,040
I know we have three children. 
And maybe I'll tell you their 

23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,920
names and their ages. 
The first one is John, who is 17

24
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,160
years. 
Second one is Casey. 

25
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Yeah, she's 14. 
And the last one is Grace. 

26
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,920
She's 6. 
I know that men focus on bigger 

27
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,200
things, so we have three 
children and women focus on the 

28
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,640
details. 
So And so my youngest daughter 

29
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,680
knows everybody's birthday and 
she'll be reminding me because I

30
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,080
don't have to forget her 
birthday. 

31
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,840
So I have a lawyer now that 
helps me. 

32
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,520
All right, so we have 24 
churches in all in West Africa. 

33
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,200
We have 12 of them in Ghana, and
we have one in Togo, and then we

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,360
have another 11 in Benin. 
Those serve as Christ Transit 

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,760
churches in West Africa, which 
we oversee. 

36
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,000
From who in the voter region? 
OK, next one. 

37
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,440
And our vision in City of Great 
Church is to be a people in whom

38
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,280
God draws by his spirits, a 
graceful community of God to be 

39
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000
the place where children and the
elderly will find peace and 

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,080
enjoy God and to be a church 
base of 3002. 

41
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Plant our graceful spirit and 
missionary churches in the Voter

42
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,200
region, Ghana, Africa and the 
world. 

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,480
I don't know where we'll get to 
Blackpool. 

44
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,560
We're already here and what 
normally what I do from who is I

45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,200
visit the churches around in 
Ghana, in the two regions of 

46
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Ghana, we have the 12 churches, 
the voter region and the Bono 

47
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,280
East Region. 
And I use this relationship to 

48
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,360
strengthen them, to help them 
set up leadership and then to 

49
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,520
have local relationship as well 
to help them to document their 

50
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,320
churches, which we need to do, 
and then to licence the pastors 

51
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,360
as well, help them to bring 
stuff, how to generate income 

52
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,600
for the churches and address 
pastoral issues that are around.

53
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,880
So when I pay an Apostolic 
visit, those are the things I do

54
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,200
or try to achieve with every 
visit, either for a weekend or a

55
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,720
week. 
All right, next slide. 

56
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080
So those are some of the visits 
I've done to the local churches.

57
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,320
The first one picture you see is
me travelling from the voter 

58
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,560
region to the Bono East Region 
of Ghana. 

59
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,160
Ghana has 12 regions and I go 
strategically because the, the, 

60
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,640
the, the man in the blue and 
white shirts T-shirt there is 

61
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,839
the driver, but he's one of the 
eldest in the church called 

62
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,920
Joffrey. 
I chose him to drive because 

63
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,800
he's what we call driver 
mechanic. 

64
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,560
He knows how to fix cars as 
well. 

65
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480
And our roads are not too good. 
So when the car breaks down, he 

66
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,160
will fix it. 
And then I have a Joanna, my 

67
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,720
sister-in-law, who is looking 
after her children. 

68
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760
We, we, she has to come with us 
because we're borrowing her 

69
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,120
truck, which is office truck. 
And the office says that 

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,280
wherever the truck go, she must 
be in it. 

71
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,320
So she has to be in it to go 
with us. 

72
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440
So we're actually appealing that
I can get a truck like that. 

73
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,640
The appeal is to run. 
I'm sure Ben will tell you about

74
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,120
it and if you want to join and 
contribute towards buying me a 

75
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,880
track like that so I can go 
around. 

76
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680
You're welcome. 
It's on the Waymaker platform. 

77
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,120
And then the next person is 
essential Holist prison worship.

78
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920
So I go to the prison worship 
leader because some of the 

79
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,880
churches are not well 
established and they need a 

80
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,960
worship leader. 
So depending on where I'm going,

81
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,240
I select the people to go with 
me and the other lady better is 

82
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,200
my translator because where we 
are going, I don't speak their 

83
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,840
language, say the cucumber tribe
and she speaks cucumber. 

84
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,440
So I have a translator, worship 
leader, truck owner, driver, 

85
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,000
mechanic and myself for that 
journey. 

86
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,880
So if you can also serve, please
come. 

87
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Maybe if you can speak French, I
go to French countries, I don't 

88
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,120
speak French. 
So you can come and interpret or

89
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,000
translate. 
And if you can also drive a 

90
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,840
mechanic, then you can come and 
drive. 

91
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:50,440
And when the car breaks, now you
fix it. 

92
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,280
And so the, the, the, the church
in Bueno is the next slide. 

93
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,120
That's picture. 
That's where we went to. 

94
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,840
And the third one. 
And the fourth one is the church

95
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:05,880
in a birthday where we visited 
and we have to do an open air 

96
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000
meeting because they meet in the
classroom, which is not big when

97
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,360
I have visited them. 
And the other picture is also 

98
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,840
another church, another church 
and the leaders training one of 

99
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,520
the churches. 
So just say a picture of some of

100
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,200
the visits I did this year 
before I came here. 

101
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,920
Next slide. 
OK, so we've been doing 

102
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,040
conferences in Ghana and Benin. 
So once every year in August, I 

103
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,440
bring the churches together, 
churches around to who? 

104
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,520
And we have what we call devoted
to Jesus convention. 

105
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:45,640
When I attended Devoted 2018, I 
said it was devoted events or 

106
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080
devoted festival. 
I didn't know what they were 

107
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,560
devoted to. 
So when I went to Bagana, I 

108
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,720
started devoted to Jesus. 
I wanted to be very clear so 

109
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,480
people know what people know 
what they are devoted to. 

110
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,000
So this year we had devoted to 
Jesus. 

111
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520
And next year in the middle, 
Jeremy will be coming in August 

112
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,040
to be with us. 
And so you're also invited to 

113
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,720
Devoted to Jesus convention. 
Please come. 

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,840
And last two years we had it in 
Jose and Jane from the Horsham 

115
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Church came to be with us. 
So once every year we do devoted

116
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,520
to Jesus conference and the 
churches in Ghana in Togo and 

117
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,760
Benin will come together. 
We happen to have a the 

118
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,600
Willoughby family, Mark and Beth
Willoughby from City Church 

119
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Sheffield and they came to visit
us and stay around for the 

120
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
convention. 
All right, next slide, please. 

121
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,520
OK, So that devoted to Jesus 
convention in Benin supposed to 

122
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,680
be in French, but I can't speak 
French, so I translated it to 

123
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,080
English. 
But if you look at the first 

124
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,880
picture, it is in French where 
we have the 11 churches in Benin

125
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,000
is led by Simplice and Mary. 
He works with other 11 pastors 

126
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,480
who are working as Christ 
Centra. 

127
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,960
So that's Simplice and myself 
here. 

128
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,400
And last year I went with Mabel 
as the first time. 

129
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:11,240
I went with Mabel because Benin,
it's a very dark place 

130
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,320
spiritually. 
So I have to be sure that God is

131
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,760
with me before I go with my 
wife. 

132
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,440
So please pray for this. 
Francophone countries 

133
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,360
Christianity is not very high 
there because they were 

134
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,120
colonised by France and the 
French didn't actually teach 

135
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,760
them the gospel. 
The only churches you see is the

136
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,600
Catholic Church. 
So Benin, for instance, the 

137
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,520
population, you have 48.5% of 
the population being Christians 

138
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,560
and half of that are Catholics 
and the rest are everything else

139
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,040
that calls themselves 
Christians. 

140
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:51,720
So I challenge the pastors to 
change the statistics, at least 

141
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,160
have 50% of the population to be
Christian. 

142
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,200
But what's happening currently 
is that the president is a Pagan

143
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,280
and they worship this that which
means snake, we have a snake God

144
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,920
and they dedicated one day to 
the worshipping of this *** by 

145
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,240
the whole nation. 
The new president has increased 

146
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,000
that to three days. 
So you realise whether we are 

147
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,880
gaining or we are losing as 
Christians there. 

148
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,040
So please, you want to pray, 
pray for us West Africa, pray 

149
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,960
for the Francophone countries 
especially that God will send 

150
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,400
missionaries there. 
He will send us there and send 

151
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,360
you there to go and preach to 
them. 

152
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,960
All right, next slide please. 
So we have leaders weekends 

153
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,400
which is something we do twice 
in a year. 

154
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,320
We bring the leaders together 
and now other get messages from 

155
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Jeremy and myself or other 
leaders in the international 

156
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,560
team to encourage the leaders in
West Africa. 

157
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,960
Next slide and we have what we 
call remember the poor which 

158
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,640
gave birth to the compassion 
work and they remember the poor.

159
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,200
We started with her where she's 
a teacher, went to school and 

160
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,160
the government was supposed to 
provide free compulsory basic 

161
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,360
education but it is not free and
so the schools need to generate 

162
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,640
money to take care of the 
children. 

163
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,120
So they asked to pay school 
fees. 

164
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,640
And then she came back to from 
school and said some children 

165
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800
have been sent away because they
cannot pay school fees, so we 

166
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,760
should help them. 
And I said, well, I'm not able 

167
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,320
to help myself. 
How do I help them? 

168
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,040
But we try and started helping 
them. 

169
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,400
And that's how eventually we 
made Compassion, which now 

170
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,080
sponsors a lot of the children. 
We have 198 children, all of 

171
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,120
them sponsored now with your 
help. 

172
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Thank you very much. 
And they will also help people 

173
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,520
with skills acquisition and 
training and one thing we call 

174
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,480
rural Uplift, which is helping 
people to do more of what they 

175
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,520
are already doing. 
So if you're a farmer and you 

176
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,960
have one piece of plot, we give 
you a loan. 

177
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,560
So you can do two plots or three
plots. 

178
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,640
We've given out loans. 
We didn't get them back. 

179
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,040
So that project is suffering. 
It's understandable. 

180
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,800
OK. 
So we thank you for sponsoring 

181
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,040
the children. 
And we're in the third year now.

182
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,080
They're all doing very well. 
They have they're all being 

183
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,400
enrolling schools. 
They can go to the hospital 

184
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,720
because they have National 
Health insurance and their 

185
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,560
physical needs to have been 
taken care of. 

186
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,440
God bless you. 
Next slide. 

187
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:27,440
So that's compassion Wake. 
Next slide. 

188
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,000
As a compassion children this 
Christmas last year and this is 

189
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,600
how they started, they are now 
looking very good and doing very

190
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,880
well at school as well. 
So children otherwise we didn't 

191
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,120
have opportunity to go to school
are now attending school and 

192
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,760
they're doing well. 
Next slide One other thing we do

193
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,480
is the radio ministry. 
I preach on radio every Monday 

194
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,160
morning from 5:00 to 5:30 AM on 
the state radio. 

195
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,720
We started around 2003. 
So I started with Maybelle. 

196
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,560
We go to preach, preach in 
English and then she interpret 

197
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,640
into every and it reaches 1.6 
million people. 

198
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
But when we started having 
children, she has to stop 

199
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,120
because she couldn't go again at
dawn. 

200
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,400
It starts from 5:00. 
So we have to be there five, 

201
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,080
4:30 AM and have conversation 
with the radio presenter to warm

202
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,920
up our voice so we can speak 
properly. 

203
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,200
Then five, we start the 
programme. 

204
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,640
Now it's gone digital. 
So it means more than 1.6 

205
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,200
million are listening to us 
Monday mornings. 

206
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,360
If I'm here, they have to play a
recorded version. 

207
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,600
So you can also listen. 
We send you the link and then 

208
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:45,800
you can listen to us next slide.
So sometimes I come here and be 

209
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,760
part of the international 
Apostolic team that Jeremy has 

210
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,720
who normally have a meeting 
before devoted Devoted. 

211
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,480
When I start, I don't know how 
to finish devoted event or 

212
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,120
devoted festival. 
One of them. 

213
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,200
Thank you. 
So this year we came to Crewe. 

214
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,720
Is that how you call it Crewe? 
OK, so we have the international

215
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,360
meeting for three days and that 
leads to devoted events and 

216
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,400
thank you all for supporting to 
bring me here to attend this 

217
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:26,120
meetings next one. 
OK, so one we have school of 

218
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,800
leadership. 
The first cohort has finished 

219
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,880
second and now we are doing the 
third cohort. 

220
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,680
We use it to train our leaders 
as a tool we have and we need 

221
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:40,120
you to be praying for us. 
All of our leaders have done the

222
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,160
School of Leadership now and 
it's a policy that to lead a 

223
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,560
Christ Central Church in West 
Africa, you should have done the

224
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:50,720
School of Leadership. 
But we need sponsorship for the 

225
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,920
students because the school is 
Basin Ho and people need to 

226
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,640
travel one weekend every month 
to come and attend it. 

227
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,720
Some need transport to come, 
some need money to get the 

228
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720
materials. 
I do all the presentation at the

229
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,040
moment, so I'm the only teacher.
So I listen to the videos and 

230
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,200
then make my notes and then I 
teach the course. 

231
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640
So if I'm not there then the 
school is on hold. 

232
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,120
So I need people to come and 
help me and many of you are good

233
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,240
teachers. 
Please take some time and come 

234
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,800
to West Africa and help us 
teach. 

235
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,400
We finished the Old Testament, 
so when I we go back, we'll 

236
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,600
start a New Testament this month
ending. 

237
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,320
So when I get back, my troubles 
continue. 

238
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,720
Next one I think is finishing 
now. 

239
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,960
So the big vision we have now is
Vision 1616, which all of you 

240
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,040
must be part of. 
You see the Ghana map to the 

241
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,480
right, It has 16 regions and at 
the moment we have churches in 

242
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,120
two of the regions, Bono East 
and the Volta Region, making 12 

243
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,200
churches. 
So we still have 14 regions to 

244
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,560
cover with our churches and down
that picture is the nations of 

245
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640
West Africa. 
We have 16 nations in West 

246
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,080
Africa and we are in three of 
them, Ghana to go and Benin. 

247
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,760
So we still have 13 nations to 
go. 

248
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:19,440
So the vision 1616 is to plant 
16 churches in all the regions 

249
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,000
of the 16 church, 16 churches in
all the 16 regions in Ghana and 

250
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,720
plant churches in all the 16 
nations of West Africa. 

251
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,160
It's a big vision, brothers and 
sisters, and let's God help us, 

252
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,880
we will not even start it. 
So we, we invite all of you to 

253
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,040
have those can speak French, 
Arabic and Portuguese because 

254
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,200
one of the countries in West 
Africa speaks Arabic, Western 

255
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,360
Sahara and the Guinea Bissau 
speaks Portuguese. 

256
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,240
Nine of them speak French, five 
of them speak English. 

257
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,440
I only speak English. 
So I need help to go across the 

258
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,720
borders and pray for political 
stability and all that. 

259
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,600
For us. 
We have links in Liberia and 

260
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Cote d'Ivoire which we need to 
go but travelling within West 

261
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Africa is very expensive. 
By flight is so expensive and by

262
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,960
Rd I need a track to be able to 
go. 

263
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,000
So please help me to get a track
and we're praying Sheffield. 

264
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,320
A lady prayed and said, God, 
please give Michael this truck 

265
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,440
so that the money that has been 
collected now will be used for 

266
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,600
something else. 
I thought I had faith for that. 

267
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,560
That is very good. 
Then another lady said, God, I 

268
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,840
please, please, can you give 
Michael a private jet? 

269
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,960
I said, what private jet? 
That one? 

270
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:42,560
I don't have faith for it. 
But what then, I asked myself, 

271
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,200
are those who own private jets, 
they are not even Christians? 

272
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,640
So what's wrong with a Christian
having a private jet? 

273
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,920
So I have faith for it now in 
the name of Jesus. 

274
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,920
So if you can give me a private 
jet, you are welcome. 

275
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,120
So I can fly. 
Amen. 

276
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,240
So vision system, system, we 
invite all of you through prayer

277
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,000
to contribution. 
Either you get me the track or 

278
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,280
the private jet and we need to 
translate the School of 

279
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Leadership material into French.
Martin Cheswell tells me now, 

280
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,240
tells me that it will cost a lot
of money to be able to do that, 

281
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,520
about £15,000. 
We'll be looking for that money.

282
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,360
It's not coming yet because we 
need it for these nine nations 

283
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,320
in West Africa to help us go. 
So please pray for us, get us 

284
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,120
the track for the private jet 
translates. 

285
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,720
I have faith for the private jet
now. 

286
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,400
Oh, help us to translate the 
School of Leadership material 

287
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,640
into French. 
I think that's all now. 

288
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,720
Thank you very much.
