WORLDWIDE APOSTOLIC CHURCH AND EDIFIRE MINISTRIES PARTNERS UPDATE – JANUARY 2018

 

Greetings in Jesus’ name!

 

We glorify God for all that He has been doing in the lives of our faithful ministry partners and in Worldwide Apostolic Church / Edifire Ministries. A lot has transpired since I last posted an update for our beloved partners. We celebrated 9 years of Worldwide Apostolic Church last July and we say “Ebenezer” – thus far has the Lord brought us. We also had a marvelous Prophetic Partners Dinner last December at Royal Fort Hotel where each of our ministry partners, and their children, received a personal prophetic word for their lives. The head of our ministry Treasury Department, Brother Julius Atukunda together with his team, did a good job in the organization and planning for the Prophetic Partners Dinner.

 

This year 2018 has begun with a blast as God has given us a prophetic word for the year which is the 3Ls:

  1. Lifting: God is lifting you to a higher level

  2. Launching: God is launching you out into your destiny

  3. Liberty: God is liberating you from all oppression in Jesus’ name! (Luke 4:18)

 

This prophetic revelation was shown to me in a vision where a ball was lifted up from the ground, then it was thrown or launched forth and flew in liberty through the air. God has great plans for your life this year and I believe your financial liberty as a ministry partner shall be manifested as you continue to put in practice the law of seedtime and harvest (Galatians 6:6-9).

 

As I write this, God has enabled us to have our own website as a ministry at the web address: www.edifireministries.ml with the website having important information about the ministry, upcoming events, online Bible and a compilation of my teachings. Other website features include a direct chat feature, “Christian Connect” social network forum, Verse of the Day and many more. We thank God for this important breakthrough.

 

During the Prophetic Partners Dinner I shared the short and long term vision of the ministry. Some of the short term goals that we desire to achieve as a ministry this year include the following:

  • Acquisition of evangelistic equipment including sound system, platform, lights, generator, truck, bus etc. This has been an ongoing fundraising titled “20 Partners Whom God Has Touched” with a target of 20 partners contributing 1,000,000/= (US$ 300) each for the evangelistic sound system. The budget for the first phase which is the sound system is 20,000,000/= (US$ 6,000)
  • Finalize phase 1 of the church headquarters construction in Kiswa with the purchase and installation of windows and doors. The budget is 5,000,000/= (US$ 1,450)
  • Chairs to cater for the growing numbers in church. We require 1,000 chairs at 25,000/= (US$ 7) per chair
  • Launching FM radio ministry. The budget is 100,000/= (US$ 30) per 30 minutes weekly program with payment in monthly 4 week installments.
  • Launching Television ministry. The budget is 1,000,000/= (US$ 300) per weekly 30 minute program with payment in monthly 4 week installments.
  • Studio setup with video cameras and voice recording equipment to record radio and TV programs. The budget for the first phase includes purchase of a video camera and lights at 3,000,000/= (US$ 900)
  • Tracts/gospel literature evangelism. The budget is 2,000,000/= (US$ 600) for 10,000 tracts
  • Schools ministry with cells planting targeting 10 schools. The budget is 500,000/= (US$ 150) per school outreach
  • University ministry with hostel fellowships establishment targeting 10 hostels. The budget for the welcome party and publicity for each fellowship launch is 300,000/= (US$ 90) per hostel
  • Church planting with the first target being Kasokoso in Kireka, Nakawa Division. The budget for evangelistic crusade and church venue hiring is 3,000,000/= (US$ 900)
  • Establishment of workplace fellowships known as “Born Again Businessmen’s Fellowship”.

 

We believe God for provision and for God to speak and move through our financial partners in the ministry to stand with us in the fulfillment of this vision. As a partner you could be having a contact in any of the above areas including schools, church planting venues, printing press, videography, company sponsorship of TV or Radio programs among others. You could also have access to tangible equipment or services that could be donated in lieu of cash in line with the vision above such as video cameras, sound equipment, chairs or vehicles among others. We believe in working together as a team to fulfill the vision that God has given us to take the gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide. Teamwork makes the dream work! In the days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, a team of faithful financial partners stood in the financial ministry to meet the needs of Jesus’ ministry:

 

Luke 8:2-3

(2)  And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

(3)  And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which MINISTERED UNTO HIM OF THEIR SUBSTANCE.

 

Jesus Christ never used to receive sacks of cash falling from heaven after praying on the Mount of Olives to meet the day to day financial ministry requirements. Rather it was a team of faithful financial partners who demonstrated their gratitude and agreement with Jesus’ ministry by ministering with their money. I personally pray for the financial partners of our ministry and believe God to release every blessing and benefit that belongs to them.

 

You may look at some of the sums above and think that they are big but it is just a small figure in God’s sight. It is also relatively small compared to our overall Vision 3-13 that includes raising up 13,000 disciples and fundraising US$ 3,000,000 for the work of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a partner you will receive a multitude of benefits since God faithfully keeps His part of the covenant (Deut 8:17-18). You need to study in detail the article I have published titled “The Shunammite Woman and the Benefits of Financial Partnership in the Gospel” to know how God rewards those who partner with the gospel through healing miracles, resurrection power, prophetic revelation and financial prosperity.

 

Isaiah 48:17

(17)  Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which TEACHETH THEE TO PROFIT, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

 

I believe that this year the Lord Himself shall teach every financial partner in our ministry how to profit financially. The power to get wealth is being released upon every partner especially in the form of business ideas and business wisdom for explosive growth!

 

As a ministry we gave out certificates of recognition to each of our partners in the last Prophetic Partners Dinner. We also give a gift of a Christian movie or sermon on DVD plus an eBook on a monthly basis whenever our partners fulfill their monthly partnership. Do not forget to ask for your partnership ministry materials from the treasury team. Our desire for you as a ministry partner is that you would continue to grow in faith and to increase in every sphere of your life!

 

I am standing in agreement with you as a faithful ministry partner that you shall experience the “thousandfold” increase (Deut 1:11) and attain financial freedom in 2018 in Jesus’ name!

 

Yours in Christ,
