August 2005 South African Base for PIH/Iris Africa Churches

“During the fourth South African Iris Bible school, held for four weeks in June 2005, we found that senior pastors of non-Iris churches continue to be attracted to our school. Even though they have to sleep on thin mattresses on a concrete floor, they come because they have seen the anointing of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of some of our initial students. One returning Baptist pastor actually planted two new churches following his first session with us.

“Returning pastors, some coming back for the fourth time, continue to evidence significant growth in their ministry and character, and this is what encourages us most. For two weeks in September 2005, three of those pastors will themselves each teach a course to new students. Please support them in prayer as they face this challenge.
