God gave for D.O.N.E. to bring both Bishop Abdoulaye Ba and Rev. Thomas Browne, our African leaders, to Ames, Iowa to attend and be trained at the 2008 BILD (Biblical International Leadership Development) INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT.

There were over 350 people in attendance from 40 nations around the world.  Our US Board of Directors, Dr. Rev. Patrick Novak, has been involved and trained as a trainer over several years. This training and program has had exceptional results in the Church Planting Movement in India and is reaching into Africa and well as these other 38 countries.   The method they use in their training is the Antioch School of Church Planting and Leadership Development.  It is based completely on Jesus approach of sending out his disciples and the method of church planting in Acts.

One of our major objectives is to introduce the training into each country individually. Bishop Ba as a Senegalese is fluent in French so he will be doing the training in our French speaking countries.  Rev. Browne is Liberian and he will do the training in our English speaking countries. Since Dr. Novak is a trainer of trainee in the Antioch training methods and has introduced the training in his church in Santa Clara, California, he will be taking a team from his church to West Africa in January and will meet with Rev. Browne.  They will introduce training in selected countries until the end of Spring.

Bishop Ba will be traveling all Spring to most of our French speaking countries, meeting with our pastors and workers, doing training and developing enhanced communication with them.  Our great concern is that we have enough funds to pay for this travel and reproduce needed materials.  If this is an opportunity for you or your church to participate, we would certainly praise God as the need is so great and the field is ready unto harvest.
