This year we are excited to announce that we will be going back to Africa for a number of evangelistic outreach events August 9-18, 2024. Pastors in Africa have become an important partner in ministry, and we are excited to be heading to Kenya and Tanzania at the end of summer. While we are there, we will hold conferences for pastors, leaders, and evangelists and equip, encourage, and meet their spiritual needs to rekindle their fire and zeal for the Lord and His ministries. We will also hold numerous evangelistic outreach events so that we may further spread the gospel of Jesus. In addition, we will tend to the physical needs of African people as we pass out much-needed nourishment through food boxes as well as gifting hundreds of children the opportunity to play soccer through our soccer kits.

Please be in prayer over this event. Pray for the planning and implementation phase. Pray for the team that will be traveling and serving as the hands of feet of Jesus, for their safety and protection. Pray for all who will share the gospel or music during the evangelistic outreaches. Pray for the thousands of people who will be impacted by this vital moment in time; may their hearts and minds be prepared to receive the truth before the team even arrives.

If you feel the Lord calling you to be a part of the team ministering to the Kenyan and Tanzanian people, please contact Luke Weaver, Director of Ministry Relations and Lodestar Guidance, at (540) 236-5987. If you are unable to go but want to leave your fingerprint on this evangelistic adventure, we must raise $200,000 to minister and serve the beautiful people in Africa.

We began this exciting new ministry at Wingfield Ministries in 2023. After hosting 24 pastors from West Africa and the US at the Lodestar Mountain Inn for a wonderful time of worship and inspirational preaching and prayer, we knew that the Lord was calling us to pour into the lives of the people in this region of Africa. In August 2023 we were blessed to hold three evangelistic outreaches.

Here is what the Lord accomplished using our teams in Tala, Kenya; Mombasa, Kenya; and Lusaka, Zambia:

• 1,800 pastors attended a two-day conference on evangelism and discipleship
• 2,100 families were given relief through food distribution
• 1,055 decisions were made to accept Jesus
• 2,900 soccer kits were given away that helped 116 clubs
• 96 “John 17:23 Clubs” were formed
• 650 were prayed over at the altar for their needs

In total 12,300 people heard the good news of Jesus and lives were changed by these efforts. We praise God for allowing us to be a part of His plan and mission!
