We conducted a youth seminar second week
of July from 15th-18th. About 200 youths were in attendance.
We taught on how youth today who can be and will be leaders
of tomorrow, charged them to take up the challenge and go
forth, how to overcome challenges, trials, temptations and
how to be led by God to choose a life-partner. Boys and
Girls were transformed during this seminar and were charged
high in spirit. We had allowed the Youth Pastor to preach
on the same Sunday and they did a great job. Signs, wonders,
miracles and healings took place as a blanket prayer was
done, tumors disappeared, heart conditions healed, lower
back problems healed and pains in body left etc. The youths
are doing what we are doing as we taught them well how to
do the works of God. And God is using the youth greatly
in our church.
God has put a burden in us (Vernon and
Anny) for the youth. If they are neglected, the society
is destroyed. We need Godly leaders for our nation. It is
the duty of the church to raise up the youth.
The youth have started out a Ministry
called G12. G12 has 15 youths as leaders and each leader
is in charge of 12 other youths. Their duty is to make sure
they are followed up, trained, raised, built and discipled
to become future leaders. This is an ongoing process. In
this way, more youths are being added. The youth are being
kept busy this way as we give them responsibilities and
recognition. Despite all the youth challenges, they are
committed to be used by God. Praise the Lord!
The Fathers of the ministry bought the
girls a netball and developed a pitch for them to play during
their spare time

We conducted a Marriage Seminar end
of July from 28th to 31st. 13 couples attended. None of
their marriage was blessed in church. They were living together.
We shared the importance of marriage with God as centre
of their marriage first. Many had great trials with each
other, some with in-laws, others with children, relatives,
friends and neighbors etc. They have been taught well according
to the Word of God. And a specific verse was shared from
1 Cor 7:28b. They have been encouraged to put pride aside,
put each other differences aside and to work their marriage
by themselves and God. Refusing to hear other voices which
will only destroy their marriage, apart from hearing the
voice of God! They accepted each others weakness as strength,
and forgave each other at the end of the seminar. Right
there and then 3 couples asked their marriage to be blessed
and we blessed them in front of the 10 other couples as
witnesses before God.
However 7 couples had asked to have
their marriage conducted in the church the following week
with invited relatives, guests and some church members.
For the first time we conducted 7 marriages at a go!. All
of them are parents, but 5 out of the 7 wives decided to
wear a wedding gown for the first time. They were all excited
as it was time for them to declare to the devil that they
belong to each other legally! Their own children were flower
girls and ring bearers! It was fun for all of them.
It was a very hectic day for us to conduct
all at one time and we managed to finish with less time.
The rest 3 couples have asked for a
set marriage date for September.

Dubai
Our children were on summer holidays
and were looking forward for a break too as they were always
at home whenever we were on ministry. This trip with the
family was supposed to be a 'break & rest' trip after
non stop ministering in Tanzania, but ended up with ministry
trip as well. As much as rest is needed to get refreshed
and renewed spiritually, we could not resist ministering
as it is in our blood!. We arrived in Dubai on the 10th
of August.
We ministered in Dubai, in 2 different
churches and challenged them with what God is doing in our
land and how to stand during an offence! Many stood and
asked for forgiveness and some went and confessed to each
other and received their breakthrough.
In the other church, the Lord led us
to teach on prayer and the power of intercession and challenged
and raised men to stand in the gap as intercessors. The
response from men was great as they stepped forward for
prayer.
Abu Dhabi
What an awesome God we serve. We had
a powerful meeting where demons manifested! Vernon preached
the message on fear and how to be overcomers! Many young
girls were delivered, 2 of them had demons holding their
stomach area and were struggling to come initially and once
they let them go, the demons left them immediately. This
is the spiritual world concept where we can see demons.
In the natural mind people will not understand. Word of
knowledge went forth for specific healings like heart condition
and arthritis and the people concerned came forth and received
their healing in Abu Dhabi church. God did it! Praise the
name of Jesus!.

from US trip
   
Our trip to the U.S. was supposed to
be solely to attend a prayer and intercessory conference
to have our lives refreshed as we have been ministering
for 2 years without a break.
On 17th of August we left for New York
and was received by our precious friends Pastor Christie
and his wife Linda Smith who have a church in White Plains.
We thank God for their generosity by housing and feeding
us plus taking us around in their vehicles.
We ministered for 2 days in their church
and God moved, people got challenged and specific word of
knowledge was spoken and people came to receive their miracle.
Anny called a young boy specifically
and told him that a demon of oppression is sitting on him
and suppressing him. And further told him to remove his
rasta's, as it does not bring glory to God, as simple as
that, the boy agreed but with very much pain. He went up
to his pastor and cried. It seems Anny was the third person
telling him to remove and shave his head as there were two
other missionaries ministered to him before. He obeyed and
became a very handsome young looking boy. Total deliverance
took place in him as his face changed and he started smiling.
Television ministry:
Vernon had opportunity to preach to the people of White
Plains on television. Pastor Christie was kind enough to
share his slot as they preached and ministered together.
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania
On 21st August, we landed in Pittsburgh.
Our host here was Cornerstone Television (CTVN). We were
interviewed on their 'On Focus' program which goes 'live'
everyday. They mostly have fresh news direct from the source.
We were honored to be in their program and we had the opportunity
to share on how God is using our television station as a
tool for evangelism, and how people are being saved and
freed. At the end of the program we are asked to move as
the Spirit leads and we ministered directly to people’s
homes through word of knowledge and prayed directly on the
screen. Praise the Lord!.
Windfields -
Kansas
August 26th we were arrived in Wichita,
Kansas. We ministered from 27th till 29th in Winfields.
In the beginning of every meeting Anny starts by sharing
the work we are doing in Tanzania and how simple the faith
of the people are and how God moves so easily. Because people
are so simple and are desperate to be delivered by demonic
forces, the demons are obviously seen and they eventually
leave them once being cast out. But in America, she says
the demons are very subtle and many preachers do not want
to expose them, instead they 'sugar-coat' the devil. We
call them 'hi-tec' demons!. And challenged them to be free
in Jesus name! She further charged them to not give up and
keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking until the door
opens. Ultimately she emphasized over and over again not
to give up. Vernon preached the main service followed by
prayer for the sick. People began to be open as we ministered
and operated in specific word of knowledge. Healings of
back problems took place instantly. In one case, a lady
who had an accident broke her back for 12 years, instantly
received her miracle when Anny called out the problem. Vernon
& Anny both ministered in various other specific sickness
and situations as the Lord led. Praise to Jesus!
On Sunday evening, we were joined by
Anny's sister Pastor Suba and her Canadian husband Pastor
James. Pastor James preached a powerful sermon in the evening
followed my ministry. All four of us ministered and as we
were casting out demons, the whole audio board got messed
up. The CD started to play by itself, the message was deleted
etc. The sister controlling the audio, was amazed to see,
we know the devil is mad at what is happening there. Also
to show them that the demonic world is real. Wow, God moved
as the Pastor Rod Imel and his wife Kimberly were very open
to the things of the Spirit. Great pastors with big vision
for Kansas...fire!!
Dallas-Texas
August 31st till September 6th. This
was our final destination and the whole purpose of the trip
was to reach here to get strengthened and refreshed during
the Prayer and Intercessory Conference held at Grapevine,
Texas. Dr. Morris Cerullo extended a VIP invitation to Vernon
and Anny to attend.
We were so refreshed with different speakers
who ministered with power and anointing. In the meantime,
we were called to give a testimony of how the Lord is moving
in Tanzania. We shared about the dead being raised and how
demons are real and how small/humble the faith of the people
and yet see big miracles in the midst of 6,000 people!.
People were moved and some even cried to hear the powerful
testimony. There and then, doors of ministry just flung
open and people wanted that African anointing with power.
Glory to God!.
We do not own anything, but to give all
what He has given to us! Amen!
Again, during the African night, we were
called again, Vernon shared how simple our faith is and
that we are not worthy of Him to be called to serve Him!
And also further mentioned and encouraged the people that
they do not know who they are and how God can use them.
With this challenge, the speaker who was speaking Cindy
Jacobs stood and in turn called for Africa and said 'America
needs you' ..... come and teach us'...There was great outpouring
of tears as God moved...later she called us and prophesied
that we are the 'Generals of Africa' and we should take
the challenge. Oh what an honour! We are here to serve and
be used of God to the extend He wants to use us! Hallelujah!
Dr. Morris Cerullo then requested for
us the next day, to be part of the anointing team to anoint
some of the 6,000 people. People were rushing and pushing
towards our line to grab the African anointing. They fell
under the power of God. Later after the anointing, others
came behind and grab our clothes and asked us to pray for
them. There and then people got instantly healed. Thank
you Jesus!. We thought we were through, but to our amazement,
people stopped us on our way back to the hotel, for prayers.
We did and had to run as we were so tired and worn out.

Reached on the 10th of September Friday
night. What a pleasant we encountered at the airport! About
80 members of our church sang bringing bouquets of flowers
to welcome us. Some came home with us just to see another
surprise birthday cake and gifts waiting for Ps. Anny. It
was her birthday. We were so honoured no words to express
but just praised the Lord!
We had to unpack some things and ended
up retiring to bed at 2.00am. To our surprise we slept till
2.30pm the next day Saturday! Very unusual, I believe many
things have contributed to this that is our ministry overseas
and also change of time. We had to rush to conduct the 3
weddings at one time on Saturday afternoon which was supposed
to be at 3.00pm. To our surprise the third couple came the
time we went for the wedding at 4.00pm! They say here 'African
Time'. Anyway, it was a great wedding and all wanted us
to attend their dinner at night in different restaurants.
Knowing Anny likes Chinese food, she had to sacrifice and
not go, as we promised one couple to attend theirs near
our house at the beach hotel. We left after they acknowledged
us and honoured us with one part of their wedding cake.
Could not stay late as were very tired and the church is
also anxiously waiting to hear us the next day Sunday.
Sunday was another awesome day. We challenged
the people of what God had done in Dubai, Abu Dhabi (UAE.),
New York, Kansas during our ministry there before finally
landing at Dallas to get refreshed! The church has been
praying for us and the Lord moved! Hallelujah, all glory
and honour belongs to Him!.
ABOUT 65 PEOPLE GAVE THEIR LIVES TO JESUS
ON SUNDAY IN ONE SINGLE SERVICE. Thank you Jesus!
Church Services
We are still using the studio hall as
church premise. As usual it is always packed and people
are still sitting outside temporary shed and trees. They
can only hear the message.
More than 240 children meet separately
every Sunday in different classes. We are decided to feed
lunch as their parents stay for the healing and deliverance
service which finishes upto 2.00pm.

With the funds we have received so far,
we have started to make bricks for the multi-purpose hall.
And the ground work has begun. Trusting God for the pledges
to come in soon.
Television station
Salvation of souls, healing and deliverance
are taking place every day through this station.
We are still looking into expanding all

first i.e.. Arusha, Moshi, Mwana, Dodoma and Tanga. We are
waiting for miracle of finances! This expansion need is
crucial as the Prime Minister who became our friend, advised
us to implement it soon, as there will be elections next
year and a Muslim candidate is on the top list for presidential
election
This station is still miraculously run
by the tithes and offerings of our church. God has been
faithful.
