"Thank you for praying with us and supporting us morally and financially. You have enabled us to have a very successful GLS event for pastors and leaders in the Ngozi province of Burundi, Africa. Our target was 1,500 hundred leaders, but we had 1,846 leaders attend on September 1 and 2, 2016." - Painito Ambuka
Praise God! Please continue to pray for the impact and the way these courageous leaders take what they've learned and apply to their lives.

The story about how the GLS came to be in Burundi is inspiring. A couple years ago, Painito first attended the GLS in Kenya, and knew that he had to bring it to the many church leaders in his country, Burundi. The ripple effect of his listening to God's call to encourage, bless and train pastors in this difficult region is incredible to witness. Be encouraged.
