Event Hosting Inquiry for Church and City Transformation

Above  Pic: Salvation appeal at gospel crusade, Kenya Aug 2024. 

We often get asked to come to a pastors church, event or country because they see the work that we are doing. That is nice, but they usually lack details (often they lack real intent too)  so we are setting out a few things that will help you to make a clear and God inspired expression of interest in Beautiful Feet Task Force ministry. (BFTF)

We hope this message finds you well. We are thankful for the many who have expressed interest in having a BFTF team in their church, denomination or city over recent times. 

We are seeking expressions of interest from Christian leaders who may be willing and able to host Howard Sands and or a BFTF team for one or more of the following significant events in your city or region:

• City-Wide Leaders Unity Conference. An event designed for a minimum of 200 leaders focused on fostering unity and equipping leaders to work together for greater Kingdom Impact.  
• City-Wide Leaders Training Seminar:, with essential knowledge and skills for ministry leadership and community impact.
• Combined Churches City-Wide Outdoor Mass Crusade for Salvation and Healing:            A large-scale outreach with a minimum attendance of 2,000 people, aimed at bringing together churches across your city for a powerful time of salvation, healing, and transformation leading to growth.

To ensure the effectiveness and impact of these initiatives, please note the minimum attendance requirements: at least 200 leaders for the conference or seminar, and at least 2,000 attendees for the outdoor mass crusade. Any amount above that is OK, We just need to meet these minimums for efficiency reasons. 

We kindly invite you to consider which of these events your city or church network would be interested in hosting, and to indicate your preference by private mail after checking the details of this blog

Why are National Groups Important to Change the Spiritual Environment of a Nation?

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country. ~JFK

We believe that by pastors and leaders gathering together and sharing information about ministry, praying for each other, assisting where possible and undertaking some joint events, a great sense of unity in the church in a nation can be developed which will cause the world to sit up and take notice, like Jesus referred to in John 17. We encourage you to join your national group and have your say, add comments to the wall and write discussion forums.

A group of leaders gathered outside listening to

Howard Sands. The start of Africa Network BFTF

in Kampala, Uganda, 2007.

When you encourage others by:- 

Starting an initiative for national prayer, worship, teaching or leadership development, 

Kingdom development in aspects of civic duty, education, politics, business or judicial system, 

that is outside of your church or denomination or structure where you are a part, but take a view of developing the Kingdom of God in your country, you will attract like minded individuals to join and share this initiative. 

In so doing you will gather momentum and provide spiritual impetus to your nation to shift towards unity and cause the Holy Spirit to advance the cause of the Kingdom in the nation because there are people moving forward with kingdom objectives not constrained by personal, financial, church or denominational constraints. 

What is your strength? 

Where has God called you to serve? 

How will you develop and share kingdom principles on a wider scale?

How can you inform other leaders of such initiatives, report kingdom events and successes or gather momentum, seek ideas and constructive helps for things will will turn the kingdom principles loose on your nation in increasing measure? 

Find places people who have interest in such things, join there and share your ideas, programs, plans and requests. Participate with others in concepts and programs already established with similar objectives. One such place that is gathering momentum is national group on Africa Network BFTF (over 4500 Christian leader members from 46 African countries and beyond)

Join your national group at Africa Network BFTF and make a difference. 26 national groups, more waiting just for you to join. Sign UP here https://bftfafricanetwork.ning.com/

He started his journey of full-time music ministry with Youth For Christ, South Africa in 1980 and has since been allowed to minister from many of the world’s most desired gospel platforms. 

For many years, Trevor has been a regular feature in the Billy Graham Global Satellite Link Up events as well as Franklin Graham’s Gospel Festivals. He was music director for Reinhard Bonnke’s Christ for All Nations evangelistic crusades and was music director and producer for Jesus Alive Ministries International’s television productions and regular crusades on the African continent for 12 years. 

Trevor has released 12 solo albums and collaborated with a number of other christian artists.

Trevor has recorded many churches live over the past 35 years, including the Rhema Bible Church in Johannesburg – the Praise Africa projects having been his brainchild as a worship facilitator there.
