1 COMPLETE VICTORY IN CHRIST August 2016 Newsletter of Shekinah/ Kalibu Ministries- Issue 263 FULFILLED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES Beloved Partners and Friends, Almost on a weekly basis, significant events are taking place which are rapidly drawing the world towards the coming of Jesus. Most people are missing many of these historical and Biblical events either because their heads are in the sand or because the media are refusing to report such. We are rapidly plunging into the whole world becoming a police state. Freedoms have been seriously eroded and the freedom of speech has all but vanished. If you do not believe and accept what the ESTABLISHMENT decrees, you will soon be enemy number one. Hilary Clinton vehemently opposes the freedom of speech and searches for every means to get around the First Amendment. Have you stopped to consider the whole issue of so-called HATE SPEECH? Ever more leaders are expounding, "Free speech does not give license for hate speech." But, one man's so-called hate speech might well be another man's most uncomfortable truths about where he stands. The attempted coup in Turkey which resulted in the imprisonment of some forty thousands top echelon of the society is gargantuan. I do not believe there was an attempted coup at all. It was a carefully engineered move by the Turkish President, Erdogan to move Turkey from being a secular state into becoming an Islamic Republic. The power of the social media exploited for evil was easily crafted into accomplishing this brilliant strategy by strong man and now supreme dictator, Erdogan. All that has taken place in Turkey, especially the utter annihilation of the military as a political force has been achieved and legitimized by the will of the Turkish people who were manipulated by the social media. What the Turkish people do not realize is that they have willingly sold themselves into creating an Islamic State. Of far greater significance for the world scene is that within two weeks of the coup, Erdogan was on a flight to St. Petersburg to meet Russian strong man, Vladimir Putin. Even more astounding is the fact that, as of writing this, Erdogan is scheduled to visit Teheran next week and cement a relationship with Iran.

2 Out of Africa August 2016 Page 2 FULFILLED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES (Continued) What has taken place in the space of a few short weeks is the establishment of a new power base in the Middle East. Turkey will eventually exit NATO in favour of a power pact with Russia and Iran. Before I explain any further, we need to understand the basic tenets of Orthodox religion and to realize there is a massive revival of Orthodoxy in Russia and this is lea d by Putin himself. There is no separation of church and state in Orthodoxy but the sound belief that the church is the soul and the state is the body. The church prepares men for heaven whilst the state preserves the culture and norms of society as they are transformed and purified by the church. Since the downfall of Bolshevik Communism the Orthodox Church has come out on top, and now with the absolute commitment and allegiance of Putin, the Orthodox Church is invincible. Far more significant is the fact that Orthodoxy hates Judaism, blaming the Jews for the crucifixion of Christ. On another level too, it is a well documented fact that Jewish Bankers and Wall Street Zionists financed the Russian Revolution that was responsible for the demise of the absolute Orthodox Church, events for which the Orthodox have never forgiven Jewry. Do you therefore see how the Russian Orthodoxy hates the nation State of Israel? Furthermore, they are the big Jewish bankers of Wall Street who head up the Illuminati that is swallowing up the wealth of the world and who the Orthodox therefore despise. What a recipe this is for the alignment of nations against Israel. Just look at that line up of nations set against Israel in Ezekiel 38. They are led by Russia (Gog, Magog), Turkey (Togarmah), and Persia (Iran). These three nations are the new power house that will unite as one, incorporate Syria (that ancient enemy of Israel) and overcome all of the Middle East thereby ending the power of America's creation and pawn of Isis. In the space of less than one month, old loyalties have gone, new allegiances are being established and the enemy of mankind, Satan, is using every cunning craft to beguile and manipulate entire nations to his will. The Lord Himself is engineering all things according to His Divine purposes. It is Turkey that controls the headwaters of the Euphrates River. They built the Ataturk Dam (seventh largest in the world) in 1990 and for an entire month the Euphrates was dried up as they filled the dam. Small wonder then that the Euphrates will be dried again for the great Asian army to cross on dry land en route to fight Israel. One touch of a button by Turkey to close the gates of the Ataturk Dam and water ceases to flow down the Euphrates. Russia's great new air base outside of the city of Latakia in Syria cements her as the new middle Eastern power. Putin has warned many times that he is ready for war. Whether him or another Russian leader, Gog is ready for war against Israel as is Turkey and Iran. We are seeing prophecy fulfilled before our very eyes.

3 YOUTH CONFERENCE MALAWI Out of Africa August 2016 Page 3 By Joseph T. The meeting started on August 11 in the evening. Brother Roland shared from I Kings 18, how God told Elijah that He would send rain upon the earth. Just as here in Southern Africa, for two years we have experienced severe famine. The people are busy seeking witchdoctors for the solution, as the Israelites forsook the commandments of God and followed Baal. When Elijah called unto God. God answered by fire. After he went up on top of the mountain, he bowed down, and as he was praying to God, there came forth black clouds and wind and there was a great rain. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot praise God. Praising means dancing, clapping hands and giving ourselves to God. Pastor Errol explained the meaning of praise that opened the minds of the youth that attended. Eph. 1:5-15 We who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of His Glory. Praise is all about rejoicing. Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice. Before the teaching Pastor asked the youth how many of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, few raised their hands. There was such a great breakthrough. They were weeping, falling down under the Holy Spirit, tears running down their faces. You cannot understand what God did to those boys. Sometimes we say only the girls are on fire for the Lord, but the story was different. The boys came with hunger and thirst after God. It took two days for the girls to get free and start speaking with new tongues. God created us only to worship and praise Him. The more we worship Him, the more we get closer to Him. He is looking for people who can worship him in Spirit and in truth. Sometimes we say, I am too young, or not educated, I cannot do anything in the church. No God does not look at the age or education only your willingness. Saturday evening the youth rose up with powerful testimonies of what God had done in them in the conference. One of the girls said, I feel the presence of God that makes a great change in my prayer life. I will take this teaching to my fellow friends. I will teach them what I have learned. One boy from the mission fell down and cried for half an hour. Later in the afternoon of Friday I spoke to him and asked, What happened to you today? He answered The Holy Spirit has given me a new song. The Chairlady came to me and said to me that her daughter Eunice she is free, dancing, praising, praying. What a testimony. The conference has brought a great transformation upon the youth.

5 Out of Africa August 2016 Page 5 EXPANSION & VISION FOR MOZAMBIQUE By E. Kirt At the Kalibu Mission Headquarters in Morrumbala, the local Kalibu Church members molded the bricks and have just finished firing the giant brick oven of 40,000 bricks. These will be used to build a larger church on the Mission grounds here. The current church building was completed in 2001, and has been used for morning prayer meetings with the students and staff, the classroom for the Bible School and the Sunday Services. With the expansion of this new church, they will be able to accommodate the growing church membership, and use the old church building to be for a classroom for the school. An expansive dormitory complex for the Bible Schools is being built while we are here too. Eighteen rooms, with doors opening on to a central courtyard, will be a wonderful improvement and extension of the current facilities. Kalibu is expanding these facilities for the future growth of the school and Mission Compound. While troops from both political parties fight in various places around the country, and even here in Morrumbala we have just had an incident with an incursion of troops into the town, we are looking to expand and grow this vital part of the ministry work here. THE START In 2000, we were resident missionaries here, while we were building the mission complex we began to bring the rural pastors in for Bible classes. It was evident early on the need for such training. Most of the rural pastors and church leaders had never received formal Bible teachings, and even their secular education was interrupted by the civil war which raged here, during the 1980 s until the peace was signed in These leaders never had an opportunity to attend a Bible School and this unique opportunity at the Morrumbala Mission quickly became a very fruitful and effective way to equip the leaders for ministry. The school was formed, and a two-year program developed to lay a sound doctrinal foundation, practical Christian disciplines, and hands-on opportunities to preach and teach what they had been taught. Their lives were quickly transformed by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, and we saw them turn from ordinary men, to real men and women of God.

6 Out of Africa August 2016 Page 6 EXPANSION & VISION FOR MOZAMBIQUE (Continued) The classes were taught in their local dialect, aiding the students who did not speak Portuguese, and we even had some pastors who were illiterate, go through the school to completion. It didn t matter if they could read or write, if they would commit to make the journey from their homes, some cycling from 180 kilometers away, we would teach them. Every one who completed the course was a living example of how God transforms lives in every way. These men and women left the school equipped to lead their church, or help in their local church, or evangelize where they were sent, or to become church planters. I think of one man, in his late 40 s when he attended the school, short in stature, couldn t read or write, but he would cycle 100 kilometers every other month to attend the school here in Morrumbala. That pastor faithfully attended, had his life transformed and went on to plant many churches in his large district. The first woman student came from Malawi. She was the daughter of the Overseer, and she had interest to attend the school although she was a young widow. In a country where educating women is a low priority, and even more so in the Church, women are rarely in leadership positions. She would travel from Malawi, across the Shire River by canoe, then 150 Kilometers to Morrumbala, every other month, leaving her young son at her parents, to attend the school. It was difficult for her, especially in the early months of her class, but she came faithfully, and graduated with the student body in Today she is pastoring the church in Tengani Malawi. A real testimony to God s enabling power. Pray that the door of this effective ministry stays open in this troubled nation. We need a missionary couple who will come to Morrumbala and work to take the Bible School and rural outreaches to a new level.

7 Out of Africa August 2016 Page 7 KALIBU PRIMARY SCHOOL: OPENING SEPTEMBER 5 Parents are registering their children to attend the new Kalibu Primary School in Blantyre Malawi. The new teachers for the school are arriving as the final construction is taking place on site. Just as Kalibu Academy, (our Christian High School) is educating and raising up the next generation of leaders in Southern Africa, Kalibu Primary School will now bring these students in at Grade 1. Since the educational standards are so low in most Malawi schools, the Primary levels are key to equipping them for the higher grade levels. Now, Kalibu Primary School will take these children from these first grades, and provide an amazing Christian environment and educational standard that has never existed in the nation. Cambridge Curriculum is being used, and students who finish the Primary classes will find it easy to step into Kalibu Academy for their Middle and High School academics. Starting with 24 classrooms, Main Hall, Admin Building, Staff Rooms we hope to reach our target of 400 students within the first year of operation. The Main Hall is the largest of any Primary School on the continent. Much prayer and intercession has gone to the Father for the school, new teachers and students. We are looking for a real move of God among the students and staff. It is so exciting to see things take shape on a daily basis and to see our prayers answered.
