FAITH PROMISE AT WORK:

DAN & CHRISTINE*

England

Dan & Christine, currently living in the U.K., work in the

International Office of their organization. Their role is

to manage and equip 1200 workers who reside in dif-

ferent regions of the world. As the Field Director, with

particular responsibility of workers in Africa, Dan mon-

itors reports and encourages the pioneering focus of

teams and their overseers. He is spearheading new

training that helps workers share the Gospel more

effectively and plan for movements of Muslims coming

to faith in Christ. Furthermore, Dan is also now the Associate International Director for

Field and Innovation and has regular meeting with the current Director and the team.

Christine continues to lead the Field women’s ministry team and has been involved in

creating mentoring relationships for new women on the field. She is also coordinating

Child Protection training in their organization. Christine also organizes an event called

“Healing on the Streets”. During these events, Christine and others will set up a booth

on a busy intersection or part of town and simply just ask people if they need prayer

for healing. On one occasion a lady came for prayer about her back that was very pain-

ful and causing her to walk crookedly. She was prayed for and left afterwards, but then

returned 5 minutes later saying her back was fine and she was walking normally! How

good of God to do that for her!

Another recent encouragement for Dan and Christine has been helping the formation

of new field leadership teams for various regions around the world. Younger, eager,

creative leaders are stepping up to lead in their spheres of influence and seeking great-

er collaboration among teams on the field, promoting ownership and 'buy-in' and this

is so good to see. Africa has been Dan's particular focus for some years and there are

now 2 leadership teams emerging to cover this vast region.

Please pray for the right leadership team for North Africa, which has taken longer than

the other parts of the continent. Christine is directly involved, asking all the team lead-

ers questions about the future of the region which they hope will shape new paths and

create new opportunities. Pray for her to listen and communicate well.

Finally, Dan is stepping into more macro leadership and asks for you prayers to discern

wisely, decide courageously, and follow God’s leadership wholeheartedly for the organ-

ization.

*Due to the sensitive nature of their work, last names or specific locations cannot be

shared. If you would like more information, contact Dan Kamwesa: dan@ghfc.org.
