Business Masterclass / Colombo

Besides the meetings we conducted for pastors and leaders from the nation and the evangelistic campaigns, I had the privilege of launching the Bethany Business School. At one of the most exclusive locations in the city, the Cinnamon Lakeside Hotel, they organized a well-advertised and perfectly organized event, where I was invited to do our ‘Ladder of Success Master class’. Over 60 business people and entrepreneurs, Christian and non-Christian, participated in the one-day workshop. To me this is really a way for the Church to get out of its four walls and have an impact in society. We have found that when people become receptive to the principles of the Kingdom, their heart also opens to the Person of the Kingdom.

Besides these workshops, we have helped many people one on one with their business. I visited several companies, and I will visit another large factory tomorrow. Many of these companies are just about ready to do business overseas. Seeing the enormous impact this could have on the community, it is my desire to find ways to make connections for these businesses. This is an exciting element of our mission outreach, and will become more and more so in the future. We believe businesses all over the world, should know what it means to have Kingdom connections!

Update from Sri Lanka

A short update on day three of our trip to Sri Lanka. We’ve been coming here for 8 years and this faithfulness has resulted in an awesome platform to impact the church and the nation. Yesterday pastor Powe kicked of the meeting with pastors of over 60 churches represented, challenging them to become strategic. I continued in my session to explain how we can influence an entire nation. God had shown me the danger of a conflict between Sri Lanka and the USA, and we ended the meeting taking authority over the spirit of strife and division. Half an hour later the news was released that the issue wad solved! This was just a confirmation of the strategic influence of the Church!

In the evening I met with a group of key leaders, that meets with pastor Dishan weekly. Today the program holds two leadership sessions with the pastors. Some have to travel an entire day by motor bike to attend these meetings. At night pastor Powe will do a meeting for influential business men in an exclusive hotel, while I will hold a miracle rally at the church. Will keep you updated!
