Your Opportunities for Response

Your first opportunity: Pray for the Church of Africa and the Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conferences

If the “Lord of the harvest” (Luke 10:2) is the Lord of the harvest, it is the responsibility of the servants/employees to learn His reaping strategy. What does He want done to bring in the harvest? He told us to pray.

• Pray for the nations and their governments.
• Pray for the Church in each nation, their leaders, pastors, and trainees.
• Pray that the hearts of the people of Africa will be open to the Word of God.

• Pray with us about the following ministry needs. These are what we are praying for as we prepare to join Him in Africa:

• Sensitivity to cultural and local ministry situations
• Discernment of spirits and understanding of God’s plan for each conference
• Wisdom to use our skills, education and experience for the benefit of the Church
• The ability to rely completely on His leading as we conduct conferences
• Favor with people, especially our hosts in each nation and conference
• Open doors to minister
• Protection from evil forces, physical dangers, diseases
• Resources to conduct pastors’ training conferences

• Ron retired early and is receiving a Social Security check each month. Christian groups, who believe in the validity of the Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conferences, are also supporting us. However, our objective in Africa is not just to survive here but to conduct pastors’ conferences throughout southern Africa. This requires added finances.
• The projected cost of travel to the host nation, food, and visa expenses for the Meyers is approximately $1,000. Our frequent journeys can be structured, for example, as a 21-day trip per month to one or more nations in southern Africa to conduct three to four conferences. The remaining seven days we would return to Pretoria for rest, administration, regrouping, and preparation for the next trip.
• After each ministry trip, upon request digital photos of the attendees and activities, and a report of each conference are made available through a monthly email. Supporters can then view pictures and read about what their prayers and gifts produced. Of course, only eternity will reveal the permanent results.
• Individuals, groups, and churches are welcome to make this investment. Donations toward the costs of conferences will help provide training of local leaders of ministries in African nations. To sponsor this program, send your gift to:
  
  World Mission Centre
  Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conference
  P.O. Box 2727
  Irmo, SC 29063 USA

Tax-deductible receipts are issued and funds are relayed to the Meyers in Africa. We realize you have a choice of ministries in which to invest.
Thank you for considering the Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conferences.

Your third opportunity: Join us in Training the Church of Africa

Training Christian leaders is a specialized ministry. We are recruiting and facilitating the teaching skills and ministries of qualified persons to match them with ministry needs in Africa. Our commitment and vision is to do everything within our power to help African leaders.

If you are a seasoned pastor or a Bible College or seminary professor who would like to serve the Church in Africa and are not afraid of living simply, we would be glad to do what we can to help facilitate an opportunity for the training of pastors in Africa. Please use the e-mail address above. Let us know about yourself, your experience, unique interests, and qualifications, plus references from your supervisor and a fellow pastor or professor familiar with your teaching skills and ministry. Please allow several weeks for a reply.

We are eager to bless you and/or your church with missiological education and opportunities to serve on the mission field. As you bless the pastors of Africa through your prayers and financial support of the Empower Africa Christian Leadership Conferences, you and your church will be energized and enriched by your involvement with what God is doing in Africa.
