Samson Otieno, Country Leader
KENYA
We thank God for His grace in 2022. Kenya is prepared for her general election this August, the intense campaign season across the country has in some ways jolted our activities as the J-Life team, nevertheless we have had praise reports of multiplication and transformation.
The latest is a 2nd generation of movement builders commissioned in our new gateway region (Eastern) on 25th June. The 19 pastors and leaders come on the heels of the first generation of leaders commissioned last year.....we are grateful to the Lord that this is part of a larger group of 126 movement builders in 4 GC2 groups that we will be commissioning in this region this year.
Prayer requests:
- Kenya's upcoming election in August
- Francis, Joshua, and John who are our MBxs in this new gateway region
- Health and welllness of the Otieno family

Michael Titus, J-Life Country Leader,
TANZANIA
We are grateful to be journeying with 20 Leaders through our internship. We are taking two Saturdays every month to spend time with these leaders who are transforming their communities.
By the grace of God, as MBx's we have been able to meet twice a year as a team and share stories of growth of the movement. It is always a good time to evaluate the momentum and prune some of the things which we are doing that are not fruitful. This July, 100 leaders came together and spent three days together.
We praise God for transformation in our communities! Just last month one of the guys from a Muslim background received Jesus as His personal Savior. We are excited to begin journeying with him and his wife!
Prayer requests:
- Ongoing training and coaching of our leaders in the internship
- Renewed strength and health for our MBxs
- Continued transformation among our communities

Eric Muhire, J-Life Country Leader
RWANDA
Recently we have seen church transformation in Rwanda Fellowship Christ Church Southern province through the J Life curriculum. They have seen growth in the church and their believers established and encouraged in their faith.
Many churches and communities are involved in training. From February 2022, they focused much more in the Nazareth church in Eastern provinces. God has favored them and 50 persons have received Jesus as their King and Savior of their lives and been baptized - Praise God! The bishop of the church encouraged them to teach, coach and Go Deep with J-Life curriculum in every new planted church. The church leaders told them that all leaders who went through J-Life training have built their faith on a strong foundation and now they are making disciples and lead others towards Christ.
In the Southern Province we have started 7 fellowship groups composed of 40 leaders. Each leader among them has started the Go Deep process with two people at least and use the training towards making disciples.
Prayer requests:
- Pray for all Leaders who are faithfully sharing from first generation to deeper levels
- Pray for wisdom and protection
- Pray for GC2 Groups, deep relationships and disciplemaking training
- Pray for Projector as a training tool
- Pray for ministry finances

Billy and Darleen Honc, J-Life Regional Director
KENYA
We are blessed to see the Lord's faithfulness throughout Eastern Africa! In Kenya, we have led GC2 training with a group of Youth pastors and leaders. On the 1st of September, we will start a second GC2 group with a lead pastor from the Baptist churches.
Darleen has been busy overseeing our lower primary school in the village and ministering to the orphan boarding school students that we oversee and also live with us during school breaks. We just had 11 students for 12 days while on break. It's been a great time of us ministering the Word and mentoring them as they lead morning devotions. Pray for us here in Kenya as we will be having Presidential elections on August 8th.
Prayer Requests:
- Kenya's national elections in August
- Fruit of the GC2 groups
- Health and wellness of our Country Leaders, MBx's, and their families
