As we reported previously, one of our Doulos Training School (DTS) graduates, brother Henry (pictured left), conducted an far-reaching
evangelistic outreach across South Sudan, by the grace of God. Now he has transitioned to Phase II - Conserving the Harvest. The goal in this phase is to follow up on those who got saved during the evangelistic outreach initially, baptize them in water, pray for them to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire, get them into discipleship groups, teach them the basics of being a disciple, equip the saints for works of service, establish new churches, and appoint elders to shepherd those congregations.

Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
There's a great move of God in South Sudan, as I am doing my best to finalize with phase two, one of the members who has been attending the discipleship class, had been working with the prostitutes for a very long time. And as her life got transformed through discipleship, she confessed to me this, and told me that they had a prophet who still exists. This prophet was anointing them with false anointing oil according to me inorder to get customers( men to sleep with them), and whenever they could get the money, then an offering was given to the fake prophet in order to get more customers. When she gave her life to Jesus during our missions, the woman who was acting as their boss in that business is looking for her seriously. She said, that friends told her if the information reaches their prophet, then I will have problem because I am the one who has confused her. But I thank God, because right now more two from the same group have already given their lives to Jesus.
Your servant,
Bro Henry.

Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
I thank God for the great work He is doing in South Sudan. Phase two is going on well, and I also see serious growth among those attending my discipleship teachings. Many have now dedicated themselves fully to Jesus. I have been also invited to conduct burials, dedication of children, bless families, home deliverances, home prayers by those who are attending the discipleship teachings and their close relatives. I thank God others have evangelized to their family members, and led them to repentance and salvation. God has made me too much engaged with phase two, and I am praying to God so that within this month I finish, and move out to another phase.
We have a brother by the names Felix, who gave his life to Jesus, and for all this time he was committed attending the teaching. He decided to leave his gang and committed his entire life to Jesus, but I didn't know that he had been previously involved in one of the most dangerous gangs before he gave his life to Jesus. He was a leader of one of the groups of the [gang name omitted for security] in South Sudan. This group is a dangerous group, which attacks people with pangas. They can attack you and take everything from you, and also cut you with pangas, and sometimes they leave you dead and sometimes badly injured. They have different groups of [gang name omitted for security], and sometimes when they have misunderstanding, they also attack themselves. I know of many people who are victims of these attacks. Felix was one of the leaders of one of the gangs, so when he add me preaching about repentance and end times, then he decided to give his life to Jesus, and made a decision to follow Him. From the time he gave his life to Jesus, he didn't want to leave me. I could see him keeping around. One day he went to pick his money from somewhere, this is the money they have been getting in a wrong way I suspected. He had saved it on his bank account, so when he went, the bank told him they don't have money, and only gave him $150 USD. When he was coming from the bank, one of his gang members approached him and asked him why he is not seen in the gang meetings, so he explained to him how he had given his life to Jesus, and he has nothing to do with the gang anymore. His friend immediately informed other gang members to come, and serious attack was done on him. But we thank God he was only cut on the finger with a panga, and afterward they disappeared with him in custody.
For three days I was not seeing him in the class, and all his phones were off, then later we got information through the same gang, that they are the ones with him. I entered into prayers and fasting, and they kept calling me. I could preach to them on phone and remind them that they were created by God, and no one can fight God's will. I could also teach them about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that they should prepare to meet Him.
I decided to go there. I went with other people, met them somewhere in the bush. I went with my ID for the church and the bible. They came, and I requested them that we should pray first. I saw the hand of God. It's a very long story, but he was released. The person, who was his deputy in the gang, requested that I should go back there, and pay their fee 9protection money), so that they can remove Felix's name from their list. If I don't do that [they say], then they will continue attacking him.
However I thank God the LTG meetings are going on. Discipleship classes are going on. I have a sister by the name Angel, who was a total drug and alcoholic addict, but gave her life to Jesus during our missions. She was baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire after attending my teachings and praying for her by laying on of hands. She's now a serious intercessor. Every time I see her, she is praying for the nation and people, crying while asking God to intervene, so that people can know Jesus in South Sudan.
I also have a youth, by the name Scovia who also gave her life to Jesus. She attended the teachings and decided to follow Jesus. The devil entered her relatives, and they started fighting her salvation to the extreme; they beat her severely, and sent her to an abandoned room to sleep there. She was only able to come after her body was all full of bruises from mosquito bites and other insects. She said it would be better to die, but she will never leave Jesus.
On Thursday, I received a phone call from her mother crying tears, that the father and the uncle who have been paying her daughter Scovia's school fees have stopped the support unless she leaves salvation, but the daughter said that even if she is to lose education, she can't leave Jesus. She asked me what did I do to the daughter, because she was not like that before. I also preached to her, and requested her to come and meet me. I preached to her and led her to Jesus as well. I told her that God will use her or some other way so that her daughter may study, if that's His will, but to let her serve God. I taught her about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I just give God all the glory for the amazing things He is doing in South Sudan.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.

Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
We ended our teenagers' conference successfully, and all the glory goes back to God almighty. Many children joined the conference, and on the last day of the conference, it was quite a big number.
On the last day, I prepared Bible questions that were to be asked on that day to assess the teens on what they had learned during the five days, but I requested that they come with their parents. People started coming before the time we had planned. The church was not enough to accommodate the big numbers, therefore we hired two tents, each with a capacity to seat100 people, and they were both full of parents. I thank God for the day, because I saw patents also receiving salvation after sharing with them some of the testimonies of end times. We have 20 parents who gave their lives to Jesus and started attending the discipleship class immediately. I give all the glory to God.
Some of the photos of the last day of the conference are in the photo album linked above.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.

Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
I thank God, the teenagers' conference which is to take five days, has started today, and I thank God it was powerful. Over 60 teenagers turned up, I believe tomorrow the number will be more than that.
See photos in album.

Dear bro Henry,
A lot is still needed to complete my Phase II follow up ministry, but I have covered over 70% as of now. I have doubled my efforts to make sure I conclude by January, by the grace of God.
I am now concentrating on LTG and discipleship, covering and demonstrating of the cost of discipleship.
One incident that I didn't share with you yet is a story of a gentleman, who received salvation during our crusades and he has been attending my teachings. He had the equipment for shisha at his home, it is used to smoke a drug which is stronger than cigarette [sometimes cannabis, hashish and opium], which makes some people even run mad. He and his wife used to smoke with it, but because of the teaching about how a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ should live and end time gospel, he went home and disposed of everything without the notice of the wife. The issue was taken to the police, and a case was opened against me by the wife, claiming I am the one who caused that. I was given a letter of summons by the police. I went to the police with some of the members including bro Benson. When we reached there, before they even heard from me, I was put in prison. When they were putting me inside, I saw my brothers including bro Benson crying, shedding tears seriously as they were saying, "Bro it's well," but I knew that is the cost of discipleship that they have not experienced yet. The woman had charged me with a big bill, requiring that I should buy for her what the husband had disposed of. I was not much bothered, because I knew God has a reason why He allowed that to happen. When I was inside, I met someone who was injecting herself with a drug in the chest. We were separated by just a strong wire mesh, but I could look at the women's section from our side. I went closer and preached to her. She told me she was tired of life and wanted to die. She had cancer, and narrated to me her story, which was horrible; and ultimately she gave her life to Jesus. I prayed with her, and immediately afterward, they called for me out to meet a Criminal Investigation Division (CID) officer. The issue was sorted out, and I didn't even pay for the charges. That's how it ended. That's why I still want to take time covering discipleship teachings. I am also closely watching those who are under the training of elders.

Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
It's unfortunate that one of our members in the church has lost a child of around 5 years old. From the time of the recent insecurity, the severe shooting which resulted into a fire outbreak, she ran to the bush fearing they may attack her from the house. The girl went with other children in the area, who were not all from the same family. This happened without the notice of the mother. When they came back after three days, the child became terribly sick. They were treating her, but the baby's condition was getting worse. I arrived on Saturday, and visited the family for prayers, but unfortunately on Sunday, the child passed away at midnight.
I conducted the burial today and tonight we shall have a prayer session in the same home, I believe God many will surrender their lives to Jesus.
At the time of burial, I taught about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. One woman by the name of Stella, came and confessed Jesus. She requested that I should go and teach in the area where the church she is fellowshipping in is located. She said they're not teaching anything to do with the coming of Jesus Christ, but are only teaching prosperity.
When we were coming back from the field, that same day we reached a certain center and evangelized there. One woman welcomed us and said there's no Pentecostal church in the area. She was desperately requesting that we establish one there. I told her to put it in prayers, as nothing is impossible with God; let God make her the door for the gospel to come to that town.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.
December 13, 2025
Dear bro Len,
I thank God for journey mercies. I traveled with one other minister to check on the disciples of a new believer named Ivan, in order to know how phase II is progressing, and also to take the Bibles. I also carried with me LTG cards to guide them in formation of LTG groups in order to multiply disciples.
However I found that the new converts had already scattered and others went back to their former lifestyle. For easier mobilization, I had to conduct an open-air meeting in the evening with teaching from 02:00pm to 4:30, and then we conclude with an open air in the evening for three days. I thank God by the time I was leaving, I managed to get and minister to those who had given their lives to Jesus before in our previous harvest crusade. [I believe most of the people who got saved during the original outreach were brought back into the fold during this second visit, but not all]. However, others received salvation in the course of my stay there. I am praying to God to give me grace to continue checking on them.
I reached Juba today Saturday and I thank God who brought me back safely. Let's remember bro Felix and Deng in prayers, who really surrendered their lives to follow Jesus Christ for the few days I was there, and I believe God they will forever be for Jesus.
Attached are some photos (see link to album above).
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.
December 8, 2025
Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
I want to give God all the glory, six victims of the fire outbreak that happened a few days in South Sudan have totally surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. They have experienced so much tragedy. One of them survived death because God didn't want her to die without accepting Jesus Christ. She went to rescue her property from the fire and in the process, again she was attacked by evil people who came and removed the stuff she had already removed from her shop, they also cut her leg with a panga (machete) and escaped with her phone, but the Lord saved her life. I see the hand of God touching them one by one.
This Sunday, three more LTG groups were formed, and I gave them LTG guideline papers that I printed out to know more about LTG.
Beginning on December 19th, I will be teaching the intermediate children for 3 days, those who are not yet youths. I have seen much zeal and love for God in these children, the Lord has put a burden in my heart to share with them about the love of Jesus for the children and how they can walk in holiness while emphasizing the end time message of Jesus coming back for the church now.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.
December 6, 2025
Dear bro Len,
I believe you are doing well by the grace of God.
I resumed my phase 11 by the grace of God. Today I felt a move of God sharing with the Sunday school children at mid hours. I spent good time teaching them the love of God towards them and how they can grow in the knowledge of God. Many of them were very happy and asking a number of interesting questions, I realized they equally need much of our time.
I also did a follow up with the LTG groups that were already existence to see if there's steady progress and whether they're still keeping the LTG guidelines, I thank God I received positive feedback from most of them except a few that I encouraged through the word and also handed over to them the LTG cards for guidance.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.

There was serious shooting in Juba yesterday. In the process, it has caused much insecurity resulting in setting one of the most busy business centers in South Sudan on fire.
I met two people on the road in the morning crying bitterly about what happened, they had lost everything. I preached to them, prayed with them and moved with them to the site. When we reached there, I had nothing to say in my heart, except preaching to them to accept the most precious person in their lives, Jesus Christ. I was teaching and people were coming to where we were, and the number kept increasing. There's a lady called Ester, who surrendered her life to Jesus. Rose also surrendered her life ,and was ready to follow Jesus, because she said everything is vanity. People are like running mad with what happened, but I have been praying to God to give them peace and open their hearts to welcome Jesus into their lives.

Dear bro Len,
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank God for what He is doing, our LTG numbers are increasing weekly, I have managed to notice much zeal for evangelism among those who are attending their LTG meetings weekly. I thank God for sister Nancy who had just given her life to Jesus, she came with her husband to the church and when I was teaching, she lifted up her hand, I thought she wanted to give her life to Jesus but she said no, she she wanted to confess. I gave her chance, she stood up and said her iPad that she came with, was bought for her by man who wants to confuse her marriage, she said she had been committing adultery with him but now she can't miss heaven because of him, she vowed to end the relationship immediately after repenting. I see people working out their salvation with fear and trembling, I was scared that it was cause to cause a fight because the man too was present, but instead the husband was happy, he said he knew about his wife's relationship with that man but she could not listen, he thanked God that his wife is now saved and changed.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.
November 7, 2025
Dear bro Len,
I have a lot of updates about Phase II. I thank God we have registered a lot of achievements. I have discipleship classes on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thursdays and Wednesdays, I have counseling, and we also have prayers on Tuesday.
Our numbers increased greatly in the church, from around 50 people to 70; and Sunday school has increased to 100. We now have 16 LTG groups [Life Transformation Groups for discipleship] in Juba, three in western equatorial (Yambio) and some in Bor. I don't currently know the exact number in Bor, because of [unreliable mobile] network, bro Ivan there has been unreachable for some days. [Bro Ivan is the newly saved fisherman in a remote town, who has already led 20 people to Christ.]
Most of the LTG groups are meeting on Saturdays. I think the day favors them. And at the church property, we have few who are meeting on Fridays.
We have registered a number of 19 people, who are going to be baptized, but we haven't yet fixed the exact day of baptism, because the names on the list are still increasing.
I have seen transformation in people's lives. For example, some ladies who were using artificial nails have started removing them. People are understanding that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Youths have trimmed their hair in a way that glorifies the Lord. Because of these teachings, people are correcting each other in love, in case of any mistake.
I also thank God for the elders I am training by the grace of God. They're committed to learn. I taught them how LTG works, and they are enjoying it by the grace of God.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.

Dear bro Len,
This phase two plan is very important because these people who received salvation don't yet know what salvation is. I have seen a lot happening in this phase two.
There's a mama who received Jesus. Here's how it happened. A few days I was teaching about the way a disciple of Jesus must live. I also talked about forgiveness, I told them that however much man [has hurt us], God has put a condition to love that person and also forgive him, so that you can also be forgiven. You must love even your enemies. As I was teaching, the woman was crying so loud I didn't know why. I even got concerned, but the Holy Spirit convicted me to continue with the teaching. The following day, the lady came and confessed to me that she doesn't know what she can give me. I told her, "My sister, salvation is free. Jesus paid everything. She said she doesn't have any money, but she has come to thank me. I told to thank God and give Him all the glory.
She had hated the father of her children for years, such that they never talk, even if the man tries, there is no way. But after that teaching, she called him and talked to him. When she did, the man asked if she's really the one or not, is there something wrong or what. She said she is the one, the difference is that she gave her life to Jesus. The man called me and told me he wants to meet me, he also wants to give his life to Jesus, he is willing to come to me on Wednesday.
So this phase two is very important, though mobilization to all those who received salvation is the only challenging thing. But the Lord is enabling us to do it, in order for them to be equipped and trained to be disciples, so that the next time you do an outreach for the second harvest, you go out in bigger numbers than you went before.
Within this short time, by the grace of God, we have formed now 13 LTG groups, which are still increasing. Yesterday I went and printed out more LTG cards for guidance, and am happy God is doing a great work through us.
Yours faithfully,
Bro Henry.
October 23, 2025
Dear bro Len,
I hope this email finds you well.
I was praying for a certain woman by the name Agnes, she was brought to me by the family members for prayers that she has been sick for over two months, they have tried everything but the condition is becoming worse. I spoke to the lady, preached to her, and she accepted Jesus Christ, including her three sisters.
The Spirit of God led me to pray a deliverance prayer. When I was praying, the evil spirit was screaming seriously through her, demanding to know why I am casting them out, since this is their temple, she belongs to them, as I rebuked the demons. They said in their voice, "We have marked her." What's interesting is that after the deliverance prayers, I asked the lady if she had any sort of mark on her body. She said, "Yes," and when we looked behind her back around the shoulders, there's a big figure eight like blood. I rebuked it, and declared that by today it will not be there.
We give all the glory to God for her deliverance, repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Your servant,
Bro Henry.
October 22, 2025
Dear bro Len,
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank God for the work He is doing through us, I have printed out the LTG cards for guidance and the Spirit of God is leading people to invite their LTG partners and things are moving well by the grace of God.
I ask for your prayers for one of our brothers by the name Ivan who is in Bor, a place which is along the White Nile River. He is one of those who received water baptism, and also I prayed for him and he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Currently he is moving with the gospel that side, and he told me their challenge is getting Bibles. He is visiting different fishing grounds with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am planning to go there and strengthen them with one of the elders. I plan to stay there for a short period of just a week and get back to Juba, leaving the elder there for a while. I ask for your prayers if that's the will of God.
I last talked to him yesterday, he requested for prayers, as he was moving to a remote place by the same river. His name is bro Ivan, let's remember him in our prayers.
Your servant,
Bro Henry.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
