In our recent study of Joshua, we see how God raised a new generation of younger men to gain possession of the land He had promised to their forefathers. The purpose was not only to give them a better live than that of slavery in Egypt or that of wandering like nomads in the desert, but to establish a nation of God’s people where his glory will be displayed.
God’s purposes have not changed and today, we are still called to advance his kingdom and establish it on earth. The ground we capture is not a physical land but the hearts of man and we are not fighting against flesh and blood (the Canaanites, Jebusites, Hittites, etc) but our struggle is against the powers of this dark world and against evil forces in the heavenly places. We see from Joshua how God exacted faith, courage and obedience from the Israelites and every inch gained, every battle won was a direct result of the outworking of these qualities in his people.
backed by a story of faith, courage and obedience. was a was a managainst the as the Israelites did, , has brought about the need to seek God to lead us through a 40 day journey of prayer that will empower us, transform our lives and bring about a new generation of bold and dedicated labourers and leaders.
As we pray, we expect God to do great things in our midst:
(1) Firstly restoration and empowerment in our own lives
Renewed strength, faith and courage

Dear brothers and sister,
I consider being part of this endeavor as a great priviledge. I praise God for allowing me to be at this place at this time. I believe that as we seek God's face, we will find Him. It makes me so excited to witness the hand of God moving in our midst. I would like to encourage everybody to know that what we're doing is very important. We may not be around to see God's promises brought into completion but it gives me so much comfort that it will come to pass. May we always remember that "what we do in life echoes to eternity!" God bless us all!
