I have returned home safely after a month in Zambia and South Africa seeing the awesome power of God and great work of many leaders in putting together programs for impact.
I am also intensely grateful for hosts and their teams for their dedication, graciousness, respect and hospitality and the opportunity to share the Word of God in the churches and movements they lead.
A few highlights

Lessons learned
- Trust people who show themselves trustworthy by communication and action and willingness to plan a long way ahead and take the necessary steps along the way so that goals come together in time.
- Learn to THINK BIG
- Go prepared with extra messages than you think you need, God will open doors for the prepared heart.
- Be willing to step out in faith and declare God's promises and tell people what He will do and encourage them to step into it. They will and He will deliver.
- Nothing is too big or too small for you.
- When plans fall apart at the last minute, God still has a plan - His plan.
Thank you all for your many prayers and messages of support.
Thank you to Bishop Elias Elijah Changa for visionary leadership, the whole MAGE team (special mention for thoughtfulness and passion to serve, also to MAGE secretary Bertha Katenda who makes a lot of things happen behind the scenes).
A special HUGE thank you to all those who attended, if you were one of them we would love your comments below on what the Summit has meant to you and how it has changed or empowered your approach to ministry.
