Why You Should Join Africa Network BFTF

and what you are missing out on if you don’t. 

.

 

Are your social media accounts killing your ministry opportunities

Most Christian leaders are wasting their time on social media, not because they spend hours drooling through the newsfeed but because of how their page looks, what they post, what they don't post.

We would like to let you in to a little research and a few simple tips to build your profile in all forms of social media to double your IMPACT in just 10 minutes a day. What do you call a person that knows what to do but doesn't do it? The same as a person that is offered a solution to their problem but doesn't take it.

Most leaders know they need to fix their social profile but are either just not sure what needs fixing or how to do it, or is really that important. YES IT IS. You are missing lots of valuable contacts because of your incomplete or inappropriate profile and its content. 

Pulpit Rock Training will teach you how to have an impacting profile that gets interaction, builds networks, causes you to be seen as an authority and helps you to develop your ministry.

It is a totally free program but exclusive to the members of Africa Network BFTF. This also is a free online platform with over 4300 vetted ministers concerned for Africa.

The platform also contains hundreds of resources and ways to grow your ministry impact which we won't go into here. 

Make your application here and get started on your IMPACT. https://bftfafricanetwork.ning.com/ 

You can qualify as a Certified User in 10 days, as Certified Fellow in a month and a Certified Expert in under 3 months, display your certificate for extra emphasis of your skill, knowledge and persistence on all your social media. You may be surprised how many people you know are already on Africa Network BFTF. What are you waiting for? do it now. Application takes just 2 minutes. 

Has God entrusted a word to your spirit?

The internet platform social media network of validated ministry members in or concerned for Africa has never had a month without growth in new members for over 14 years.

In addition to that, over 4,000 other members may have something that will help you and as they share it you can be taught, challenged, improved, corrected, encouraged, strengthened and taken to a new level of closeness to Jesus and networked with keen, mature leaders that want to network with you.

Exuberant Joy at HIS CHURCH - HIS KINGDOM Conference

Coming directly from successful campaigns in Malawi and Zambia Rev Dr Howard Sands & Pastor Wayne Lyons stepped directly into HIS CHURCH - HIS KINGDOM Believers Conference in the White Tent at Wellington, Cape Town, South Africa from 21-23 November 2018 which started with awesome praise and worship, although our host Apostle Heinrich Stubbs acknowledged that he had just put the band together and they had hardly any time to practice it was obvious from the beginning that their prayer soaked lives carried the anointing and lifted the participants into the presence of the Lord from the outset.  Howard shared the word for the believers that lifted and challenged them, a young couple that had come with their family some distance for the meeting at the invitation of our host gave their lives to Christ. What a great rejoicing that was.

The believers conference went on for 3 nights in the tent with different people coming each night and making contacts with the community, Howard and Wayne again took turns to bring the message. A leadership training was held on Friday morning with local Christian leaders from various churches with helpful question and answer sessions. 

 

The last night in the tent delivered a big challenge to live for God, using the illustrations of water from John 4 (the Samaritan woman at the well – eternal life), “Out of your inner most being shall flow rivers of living water,” from John 7 (the baptism in the Holy Spirit) and the river that flows from the throne of God Revelation 22 (with fruit every month and the leaves are for the healing of the nations, fruitful unity), most people responded to more fully dedicate their lives to the Lord, there was a crowd around the altar as the Lord started to break out among the people in worship, in healing, in deliverance, filling people with His Spirit, exuberant joy, giving their lives to Christ and re-dedication, all happening spontaneously before anyone prayed with them. 

We thank God for His Spirit moving on the people; for Heinrich, in picking up the challenge to move out into a new location, by faith hire a tent and leave a deposit of God in that place to follow up; to Apostle Israel Onoriobe our friend and fellow worker for several years in choosing Heinrich as the vessel to arrange these meetings and working with us, speaking, challenging and praying for people.

 

Our friend Apostle Martin Burke invited us to share with him in a church leadership training he was doing for another church on Saturday morning, Howard and Wayne shared various aspects of leadership that have helped them in the ministry, this was followed by a fellowship lunch together. 

Sunday saw Howard and Wayne go in different directions to different churches, Wayne speaking at two services in Cape Town and Howard one. The people responding with great enthusiasm to the word. 

We have met some wonderful people, people excited about the move of God in the earth, people passionate to bring this love of Christ to a lost a dying world. We remain thankful and grateful to the Lord and all those who have hosted us, arranged for us, responded to the word and also those who have been a blessing to us as we travel.

Now the challenge before us is the making of arrangements for African ministry visits for 2019 and 2020. Already many leaders across Africa have submitted their requests for our return or for a first time BFTF visit and we have been working through the logistics of that to maximise the opportunities for Africa in the coming 2 years.

If you are in Africa and would like to submit a request we are now only taking submissions by survey form as there have been so many it has become hard to manage. Submit a survey for 2019 or 2020 if you would like a BFTF visit for an evangelistic/healing outreach crusade, a leadership training, a national pastors and leaders unity conference or any other special event at this link here.

Why You Should Join Africa Network BFTF and what you are missing out on if you don’t.

So what is Africa Network BFTF and why should I join. 

WHAT IS IT 

Africa Network BFTF is an online platform for all those in any leadership position in the church, Christian NGO or entrepreneurial activities focused on winning the lost, maturing the church in Africa and helps by building connections and sharing resources with physical conferences, leadership training, pastors gatherings and prayer times. 

PURPOSE 

The purpose of the network is to give African church leaders the ability to connect with other leaders and foreign missionaries of various types to assist the delivery of the great commission in Africa.

The plan is to network ministers, ministries and other Christian networks of all kinds interested in the great commission in Africa for mutual benefit and encouragement, establish national groups in all African nations that join together their individual ministries for a common goal of reaching their nation for Christ, building fellowship and prayer networks among leaders where strategic intents for the nation can be discussed and implemented.

Allowing ministers to provide teaching and encouragement to others, those more experienced to share their insights and wisdom with newer ministries. To connect people through their various skills with those looking to utilise such skills.

WHAT IS IT DOING 

Africa Network BFTF is building resources to help African Christian churches grow, mature & deliver the Great Commission. 

WHO RUNS IT

It is a division of Beautiful Feet Task Force, an international, interdenominational Christian mission organisation focussed on evangelism and bring the church into unity and maturity. 

WHAT CAN IT DO FOR AFRICA 

As more and more members join from many different types and styles of ministry, from many countries and regions we are able to facilitate more resources into training leaders to be more like Jesus, in ways to mature the church and bring it into greater levels of unity. 

We recognise that there are many types of ministry with many different outworkings, doctrines, methodologies etc  and yet these differences create a wonderful kaleidoscope of patterns and colours that the Father is using to portray His church to the world. 

From Him the whole body is fitted and held together by every supporting ligament. And as each individual part does its work, the body grows and builds itself up in love. Eph 4.16 Berean Study Bible.

Through coming together in times of leaders prayer and fellowship at a local level as well as at special events and BFTF Network Summits and conferences of other groups, the church grows in maturity and develops opportunities to reach out to and positively affect local communities with life changing love and care through the message of Jesus Christ.  The overall practical effects of the gospel on Africa is a development of skills, love, peace, joy, resulting in less crime and corruption, less governmental headaches and people wanting to love and serve their communities and nations; this in turn provides a better standard of living and improved interpersonal relationships. 

On a spiritual or eternal perspective, this results in growth in the kingdom of God in both numbers and maturity, bringing more sons to birth and populating heaven with new children for the Father.

"...that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me." Jesus (John 17.21)

WHAT CAN IT DO FOR YOU

As a leader interested in seeing these things happen through practical Christian outworkings you have the opportunity to meet and mingle both online and in face to face situations with other leaders with similar interests even though you may have never met them and perhaps would not ever meet them in the ordinary course of your life; people from your own area as well as other areas of your nation and internationally. People that you can share your insights with to help them with the skills and revelations that you have become confident in. 

The beauty of giving this way is that you can also learn from others, build relationship that will last long term, even to the creating of opportunities for your ministry to spread to other churches, areas and countries. 

Now with over 3000 minister members from over 95 countries (including 44 African countries) you can effectively grow your ministry and influence thousands of similarly inclined leaders instantly by sharing your revelations, knowledge, skills and events in a number of ways as outlined below.
