Joshua Nations Schools This Month: New Training Divine Appointments Global Representatives
A Word from the Lord New Resolve for 2012 The Lord gave me a resolve about Soul ties, Social ties and Spirit ties regarding 2012. We must cut all connections with our feelings and emotions toward anybody and anything that would hinder our walk and obedience to Father. Family and friends must not hinder us from doing God's will based on our love, feelings or emotions for them. We must be resolute in not allowing social functions and matters to deter us from God's will this year. This will take discipline.
4,189 Schools in 33 Nations 76,500 Students, 7,527 Graduates Dear Joshua Nations Partner, Welcome to a brand new year “pregnant with possibilities” in Christ! God Moves through Divine Appointments: For the past six years, God has used divine appointments as His primary method of bringing about the amazing growth of Joshua Nation Bible Training Centers. God has also anointed our leaders with the passion and skill for networking: simply speaking out to boldly declare what God has done, and share the Joshua Nations story with others. Because our Lord promised to draw all men unto Himself, we constantly expect to see His kingdom grow and expand.
As a ministry leader, I have purposely stayed away from worldly predictions, prognosticators, and people's opinions for 2012 because they can bury our minds in an avalanche of negativism. We don’t focus on the economy or the election results, but we keep our hand to the plow and keep pressing forward, irregardless. Friend, Finally we must disconnect from Ephesians 2:10 makes it clear: “For we are His wordly spirits that take us away from workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good our love and pleasure in Jesus. There works, which God prepared beforehand that we are many evil and foul forces that should walk in them.” Each one of us can ask God to want our attention. We must stay reveal to us the good works that He has planned for us holy in spirit and body. We must refuse the spirit of distraction that is beforehand, so rampant in the body of Christ. that we can walk in them. If we are willing, God is willing. We are willing, and we have scheduled twelve nations by the end of May! I covet your prayers. Here is just one glorious example of our mighty God at work: We recently met with the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia who will be advancing Bible Training Centers there. A mission pastor of a super mega church in Washington State called, asking us to partner with them in Ethiopia. With one simple phone call, God suddenly opened the door and everything is falling into place. Diane Brask a newly trained Joshua Nations

This we do by training leaders to establish Bible Training Centers in the nations. Lana and I have committed our lives to this worthy endeavor until He comes or until we go.
To disciple the Nations!

Global Reps Are Also Very Busy Jason Horning trained leaders to start Bible Training Centers in Uganda. Sam Santos is going into the Dominican Republic to conduct services. Faith O’Halloran, one of our global reps, was used by our Lord to usher 150 new converts to Christ over the holidays.

Even More New Leaders: Last week, we had the honor of training eight more Joshua Nations representatives who will start Bible Training Centers in Ethiopia, Ireland and Puerta Vallarta. It was a wonderful afternoon, and the time and energy invested by all will be multiplied to others many times over. We are very excited about the work God is doing in the nations. He is faithfully growing His Kingdom, and He is using those who are willing to reap an abundant harvest.
