Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs Jesus became a shame for us so that we will be blessed in life
Genesis 41:51,52

Isaiah 61:7
It's an ancient truth found within the Abrahamic covenant: “I will bless you … and you will be a blessing ” In other words, we are blessed to be a blessing The first blessing is receiving, but it doesn't end there The second blessing is giving it away! That's the double blessing.
Joseph named his firstborn son ‘Manasseh’ and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household ” The second son was named ‘Ephraim’ and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering ” (Genesis 41:51-52). How good is the Lord Almighty who blessed him with a double portion of honor in the same place where he went through shame
DOUBLE HONOR
And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. He received a double for his trouble . God is about to astonish you with wonders. He will enable you to say it is the Lord's doing and is marvellous in our eyes
We are blessed to be a blessing. The first blessing is receiving, but it doesn't end there. The second blessing is giving it away! That's the double blessing.
Hebrews 12:2 says because of the joy that was kept before him he despised the shame and carried the cross My beloved people, that joy of His was you alone. So rise up from all setbacks and shine for Jesus As the Bible says Arise and Shine your light has come. Unless we rise up we won’t know the intensity of light shining in us.
Job 42:10
Actually Satan thought he took everything from Job ,but for Job ! God was his everything . Let God be everything in our lives. When we prioritize Jesus in our life, we will be His top priority .Have a blessed season

Powerful Move of God
Having been moved by the initiation from students and understanding the importance of the Mission School, the church leaders and community ministers too broke the odds and invited the principal of the mission school brother Vishnu Raj to initiate the start of the second batch of students
05
Almost at the close of pandemic Covid 19, while the whole world was still shut with no activities, including the Gospel Meetings and crusades for over two and half years ,our passed out first batch mission school students from LoCo Ministries broke the odds and set out on door to door evangelism, preaching the gospel to every soul they met and helping the poor Many received Lord Jesus as their personal savior.
By the grace of God the first two batch students are powerfully used by the Lord for planting churches, starting school, organizing outreaches and social works In a short span, by the grace of God, the African world is seeing a mighty revival move of the Holy Ghost.We are glad to see the third batch being already commenced with students from Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, South Sudan, Uganda, DR Congo The Lord is faithful to His word ”And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh ( Joel 2:28).”
THE WORLD WAS SHUT FOR COVID 19 BUT, THE HEAVENS WERE STILL OPEN THROUGH OUR UGANDA MISSION SCHOOL
By now the high officials of the Country had already realized, because of the gospel operations conducted by the mission school, violence, lawlessness and all forms of illicit activities had subsided drastically. Though the schools, colleges and other institutions were still shut, the authorities arranged special permissions to reopen the Mission School with safety protocols This led to the start of a second batch of 30 students from Uganda, South Sudan and Congo.
"
We are looking forward for the greater Glory of God over the nations through these mighty warriors. This new year of 2022 saw the opening of new doors over Uganda. This also turned out to be a move of double honor over the nation First was the miraculous provision of the hearts desire of Evangelist Anu Jacob to own a truck with PA system, stage and necessary equipments needed for a crusade through a well wisher
... I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
A Season of God's Honour
Second was the first crusade in Uganda organized by LoCo Ministries with the involvement of over one hundred servants of God from various denominations immediately after the miraculous provision of the truck and equipments.

"Behold I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth, shall you not know it ? I Will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert Isaiah 43:19.
The team found joy in the Lord going hungry without food and sleepless nights in the midst of the dense African forests before the team reached the crusade ground at Narok. The Lord caused an Apostle, George Thorome, a crusade man to team up with LoCo Ministries to reach the unreached. The crusade saw the supernatural power of God move on the people with captives being freed in Jesus name.
Every crusade in East Africa was making history in the continent LoCo ministries Africa were invited to conduct a crusade in Nabok, Kenya in the month of March 2022. An inter country crossover by road was marked as a historical event as the LoCo Ministries truck carrying the equipment crossed over the country borders from Uganda to Kenya for the first time.
Though the hurdles were many and the team with trucks were initially stopped at the country borders for no specific reason! As a result the team spent three days and nights on the road at the borders, only to see on one of the three days, the vehicle parts missing, stolen While the journey continued, the Lord averted a major mishap caused due to the failure of the clutch plate of the truck. The Lord was faithful to His word "The maker of Israel neither sleeps nor slumber " Unexpected expenses during travel lead to exhaustion of funds
KENYA Witnessed A Great Season of God's Grace and Favour

Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it Mark 16:20

Burundi Received
Burundi, considered to be the third poorest country, opened its door to the gospel of light. "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region a shadow of death light has dawned (Mathew 4:16).”

Creating history over history, overcoming hurdles, trials and troubles, averting accidents and health issues are now a part of LoCo Ministries crusade team in Africa. This time the crusade team with the truck crossed three country borders viz Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania. The poverty level is so high that there is always a drought for vehicle fuel, diesel in Burundi It is a policy that diesel is made available only for government vehicles. However, as the scripture says "the government shall be on His shoulders." Understanding the importance of the gospel to deliver the nation from the clutches of poverty, the government issued special orders to provide necessary fuel for our truck. The Lord moved like a mighty roaring wind of healing through Evangelist Anu Jacob. Many born blind got their sight! The lame walked! The Deaf heard! The ones possessed with demons saw the freedom of life! All glory to Jesus. A new blessing dawned over Burundi The good work of the Lord shall continue till its completion. Burundi has seen the Light. It is on it’s way from rags to riches in Christ!
A Great Season of Divine Healings
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:14.

Tanzania was calling for the gospel. Some nightmares are easy to forget, but a few are hard to digest. Traveling to Tanzania was one such incident that is hard to digest. But the driving force for the entire team is the hunger and thirst for the dying souls to be saved After over a thousand kilometers drive from Uganda, crossing the borders of Uganda and Kenya, the team of three, Principal Vishnu Raj, the truck driver and sound engineer on touching the borders of Tanzania were stopped by Tanzanian authorities Permission was granted only to brother Vishnu Raj to enter Tanzania while the other two were sent back to Uganda citing shortage of necessary documents. On their return post a couple of days, we realized that it was a strategy to swindle large amounts of money from the team The team did pay the amount as they never wanted to turn back. The value of dying souls is priceless compared to the penalties being paid. Tougher the test, greater is the testimony The Lord God of Israel, the maker of Heaven and Earth showed up on the day of the crusade. Despite the trouble the enemy planned, the devil was put to shame and was made a public spectacle. The Lord used Evangelist Anu Jacob as a Vessel of great honor for His kingdom! The devils camp was destroyed with confusion and destruction as the blessing of the Lord poured out on the multitudes and hundreds were saved in the name of Jesus. This was a joyful sight. And the joy of the Lord is our strength.
TANZANIA Received A Great Season of Divine Manifestations

History repeats itself ! The doors of gospel were opened for LoCo Ministries in Rwanda. So were the repetitions of hurdles and troubles on the road to Rwanda. Sleepless nights of travel, penalties levied by the authorities for no reason, technically break down of truck with its tyres blowing off, metal parts breaking in to pieces, hungry stomach due to exertion of funds, health issues malaria due to mosquito bites while on travel, three days and nights stoppage by the border authorities for their personal monetary gains. The list never seemed to be ending. Yet none of these things stopped for furtherance of the gospel. The zeal for the house of God had already consumed the team!! This kept the team going. All the glory to Jesus. The darker the night, the brighter the glory. The two days of crusade saw over six thousand people gathering in total. The word ministered by Evangelist Anu Jacob was followed through signs, wonders and miracles. The people on whom the devil had declared a death sentence were freed and turned towards life. The lame walked, crippled were healed. The sorrow was turned into joy. Hundreds rushed for the altar call to dedicate their lives to Jesus! Rwanda saw the move of emptying hell and populating heaven.

Prais omas Moro nt of LoCo Mission School Africa. I heard about Loco Mission school when I was living as a refugee in Uganda due to the civil war in my home country South Sudan Joining the mission school changed my life. I was taught that I am the hope of Africa because Christ, the hope of glory, is inside me.
After the mission school, I went to visit an interior village in Uganda, and God began to use me mightily. When I was in the Refugees camp I lived without hope but now I became a pastor of a church that gives hope to many people in Uganda.
I conveyed my desire to Brother Anu Jacob through our Principal Brother Vishnu Raj Evangelist Anu Jacob promised to come to that village and start a school for the poor people there According to what he promised, a very wonderful school was built within 25 days through the guidance of His Mission Manager Br. Vishnu Raj.
