In 2 Timothy 2:2, Paul encourages Timothy to go out and pour his life into others, and have them pour their lives into others as well.

It brings about "four generations" of disciples as seen in this picture.

This is what has been happening through Ronnie. I have poured my life into him. (He is my Timothy.)

Ronnie has gone to Uganda and is pouring his life into pastors in Uganda. Those pastors are already turning around and pouring their lives into others.

It is exciting to watch.

Debby says, "Be a pipe, not a bucket." Ronnie says, "Be a river, not a swamp." (I may start using his as well!)

Here is Ronnie's report and some videos. (With regard to the videos, they are 11-12 minutes in length. Go to about the 8 minute mark and you'll hear testimonies of how their lives have been changed.)

Below is an update for Day 2, it was yet another surprise from God.

Even though we had planned for originally 10 pastors to attend the training , by morning of Day 2 the number had doubled to 23. Which was surprisingly interesting posing a couple of questions to me like;

1. Where did they come from?

2. Where were they on Day 1?

3. Why didn’t they struggle catching up?

 It’s now that I’m realizing, since my first lesson (2 Timothy 2:2) was about challenging them to be a river not a swamp with what they have learned; They went and shared what they had learned on Day 1 with other Pastors, who they came with them on day 2. That was amazing. 

My major highlight was the Pastors being able to remember everything that was taught in Day 1. 

The first activity was to pick on person to review what they learned previously. Below is the video. 

We then went into “One Degree Off”

Day 3’s strategy was for me to just sit down and watch them teach.

It was very emotional for me to see these Pastors teaching themselves everything I have been teaching with Joy and understanding.

What was an outstanding highlight for me was when I saw them starting to discuss of how they should come together and meet more Pastors. Most them where saying, "Please you guys come to my village first, I can mobilize Pastors in my location because they need to hear this."

They already have a platform to start practicing 2 Timothy 2:2.

Close to the end to further prepare them, I shared the strategy I used to teach them and the reason behind every step I did. 

Lastly we handed the Micro SD cards that had all the audio materials including the actual training they have heard in the local language. This was given to only the original 10 Pastors that had been pre planned for. They were very happy and felt very prepared. 

They can’t wait for Phase #2

Thanks for all of you who are praying. I hope and pray you are making your own "Timothy's" out there.

For His glory,
