European Outreach Oct. 8-29, 2009
Saint Denis, France
On October 8th, Fay and I departed for Saint Denis, France for a three day Faith Seminar at the Glory of God Church. Saint Denis is a suburb of Paris. Glory of God is a thriving congregation of about a thousand members, which come mostly from French speaking nations of Africa. Pastors Hyppolite and Claudette Ditu are our very special friends. They even named their last daughter after Fay.
We have been working with this congregation since they were fewer than 40 members. What a joy it is to see them grow in grace and in number. They have an “on fire” Bible School and an outreach back to the Democratic Republic Congo where Pastor Ditu and family are originally from. The Glory of God is being poured out on the Glory of God Church! It is a joy to and see lives changed as they receive Jesus Christ, and feed hungry saints!
Leicester, England
Next we flew to London where we were met by Bishop Jonas Martinson and driven to Leicester, England for a three day Faith Seminar. They have grown from 15 to 300 members and are spreading the influence of the gospel all over the world. It is a pleasure to see those that you mentor do significant things for God.
Our precious Bro. Hyppolite Ditu has departed this earth to be with His Heavenly Father on Saturday, March 20, 2010.
He left a legacy in the beautiful family, friends and members of the Glory of God Church gathered here today. Only eternity will reveal the influence for God that this wonderful man of God has had on the peoples of planet earth. It was our privilege to know him, not only as a brother in Christ, but as a very special friend. Because his legacy lives, his influence continues.
