Trainee Update

A Report on Trainee, Jacques

Jan. 23, 2013

Yesterday we had a good meeting with Jacques. We strengthened our working relationship and we are very excited about the things our Father is doing through Jacques. He has now established a church on a strong foundation of the Cross in the centre of Durbanville, Cape Town where many people can be reached. He has trained several pastors of which some are working with him in his congregation. They have planted a church in Durban over which we rejoice. We have prayed and asked many times for an open door in Kwazulu Natal and now God has done that already.

Jacques is focused on bringing people to the Cross, discipling them and sending them out. A church has been planted in Congo and in France.

Jaques is planning to build a counseling centre/church on his own property in Durbanville. At the moment they are renting a building which cost them a lot and they do not have all the freedom they would like to have for their ministry. A Bible School is also in the planning.
We rejoice because we can then send our students to the counseling centre for practical training.

Jacques is also fully equipped to help us in the process of getting our material and training accredited. We plan to work shoulder to shoulder and we will always communicate to you and also keep all the parties informed about our actions. At this moment Jacques needs lots of prayer as he steps out with the building project.
He as rained 30 counselors whom we will issue with Curare certificates.

Update on Curare Ministry

We do Conferences and the rest of the training by invitation.
We also do one-on-one training here from home. As soon as the students have completed the full course they must start their own ministries. We give them permission to use our material, but if they do make changes they must then either submit the changes to us in order that we can make sure it is still the message GFI stands for. If they prefer they can prepare their own material and where they do make use of GFI diagrams they must indicate that, but this is done under their own ministry name.

In this way there are numerous ministries carrying on throughout South Africa. The trainers keep in contact with us and where necessary we go and do the Internship for them or we go to the students and do an external exam with them to make sure they know what they are doing.

We visit the trainers at least once a year to encourage them and fill in some new knowledge and gather some new insights from them.
This is also the way in which we will support Jacques. We do not support our trainers financially but we do supply material where possible and help them to get on their feet.
