Hi
All.
Greetings from the Kheswas. Here is not so
brief summary of what we’ve been up to since the last update.
J-Life
International Summit 2014
Once again the J-Life tribe serving across
the African Continent came together for our annual summit. The theme this year
was Waging war as heirs of the King. This was a great reminder that we are engaged
in spiritual warfare. We had refreshing
times as we spent time praying and worshiping together. We were all encouraged
by stories of what God is doing in different parts of the continent.

African
Initiative Trainees

African Initiative Training is a 3 month
long intensive, where we train those pioneering J-Life into new countries or
team members of the existing country teams. This year’s group finished their
training at the end of March. Please be
praying for them as they transition back home.
Jubs, is a youth pastor, who goes back to implement the training in his
local church as well as train youth leaders across the nation for his
denomination. He will also be joining the J-Life Zimbabwe team.
Enoch is returning to Tanzania as a regional leader in Shinyanga region.
He will be coordinating training in the region as well as assisting with
translation and contextualisation of the material.
Betty is going back to Uganda to join James and the team there. Pray that
she will a find a place of ministry and be effective.
Julia, did the training as part of her gap year. She starts University
later this year. Between now and University she will be volunteering at her
local church in Nairobi, Kenya. Pray that her final choice of university will be
where God has chosen for her to be.
Ben, goes back to Togo, to help with the in country training of Pastors
and Youth Pastors. This will free Mgliwe, J-Life Togo leader, to pioneer J-Life
to the neighbouring French speaking countries. Pray that God will strengthen
the Togo team and give them men and women of peace in all their pioneering
ventures.
Rithou remains at Camp Eden. She will be helping in the office, serving at
the campsite and be involved in ministering to the kids and families who live
in the farm.

| Summarizing the stages of disciple making process |
I (Bhuti) started training a group of youth
leaders form 5 churches from Walkerville and Finetown. Please keep them in
prayer as they go to their churches to implement and train others. Also pray
for me as I walk alongside them to train and coach.
My goal for the year is to recruit and run two more of these groups in other communities. Please pray for favor as share the vision with pastors.

| Trainees evaluating their ministries, and planing to implement |
I (Jann) have returned to work.
This is yet another transition for me in a string of them. I am enjoying the
feeling of having a more productive day but need to learn how to balance all my
responsibilities well. I have a few exciting new prospects in terms of
developing some schools ministry material as well as being involved in the Beta
group training process.
Ndumiso is doing well and is such a joy and blessing to us and the
community here on Camp Eden. He has been healthy so far but with winter
approaching this is a concern. Please pray for good health for all of us but
him especially. We were able to spend a week visiting my family down in Port
Elizabeth before I got back to work. Fresh sea breezes and his first taste of
the sea and sandJ We are really grateful for God’s provision so that we’re able to
share him with all of the family.
