Apostle John Kelly;
Greetings from Madagascar. As you know I will be here until next Monday, August 24th.
I
am excited to share with you about what God is doing in this nation. As
far as I know they are in the first steps of bringing apostles together
for national transformation and they are advanced in their efforts of
transformation in the sphere of politics.
In
2012 a friend of mine from Guinea Bissau who was a director of
Transworld Radio in South Africa asked me to receive a Malagasy man
called Camille in my house for one week: a pastor, a telecommunications
engineer, college professor and by then he was working as the General
Director of the Ministry of Culture. The Minister of Culture, Elia is a
tiny but powerful business woman of God who had run in 2006 for
President of Madagascar, the first time a woman has ever run.
I
shared with Camille some Kingdom principles and the 7 mountain strategy
teaching. I wrote a quick essay about this subject and shared the
document with him. I also gave him some books on the apostolic movement,
market place leaders, and city transformation from some of ICAL
leaders.
When
he told me that he had a core group of church and business leaders that
were working together to "take the power" of the country
democratically, they had plans to prepare a candidate to run for
president and he needed to visit the World Evangelization headquarters
in New York, I canceled my schedule for the following three days to be
with him to fellowship. Camille is also the key leader of that
organization in his country and in Africa. In few words I grasped the
possibility of being part of disciplining a nation. We know the only way
to disciple a nation is through strong influencers. Here I am serving
these brothers and sisters who love their nation so much that they
refuse to be theoretical, but they are doing practical things to further
the Kingdom of God.
As you know I did not visited Madagascar in 2013. I know now it was not the time. We arrived here in a kairos moment last Saturday. Camille and Elia were at the airport to welcome Paul Taylor and me.
Since
then we have taught in few places as part of what I call School of
Transformation and have met leaders in all spheres of society. We also
are endeavoring to identify youth, open minded pastors, business
leaders, educators and real apostolic leaders to develop relationships
for this nation with the main goal of serving them.
Last
Monday by my request Camille, Elia and Mosa (a very clever and educated
man) had prepared an encounter at the only 5 star hotel in the capital
Antananarivo with market place leaders and few pastors.
Before
the meeting we had lunch in the house - I should say instead palace -
of a young couple. The young man is a CEO of a college and runs a couple
of businesses. The meeting was marked by sharing the religious mindset
versus the kingdom mindset. He had one of his directors and a young
lady, an administrative assistant with him. The Kingdom Governor, the
Holy Spirit transformed that encounter in one of those synergistic
meetings that can have powerful consequences for the good of this
nation.
The
conference at the hotel had doctors, university professors, business
people, influential pastors who are part of their network. In fact, they
have been meeting regularly to strategically plan to run the nation and
bring tangible transformation in the country.
These
people are for real. Camille had been impacted strongly by what we have
shared and by the teachings of the books I gave him three
years ago, Not just this but I found out that he has been really
reading, studying and thinking through all we have been publishing in
these last years in blogs, emails, etc. He has been and seriously taking the challenge by implementing intentionally with others structures, processes and means to accomplish the shaping of the Madagascar soul. They have acted politically
and are forming a party called "Our Madagascar". They have TV and
Radio programs just to share the Kingdom along with the strategic seven
mountain messages, They have already ten thousand volunteers and many
leaders positioned all over the country. They are training them and
getting them ready to be mobilized. In these few days I have met many of
them.
Today,
Wednesday we have met the president of the pastors federation along
with two other pastors. We had a profitable conversation on the Kingdom.
He supervises more than 1000 churches. And in the afternoon we lectured
about 40 college students
of John's school, by the way they do not have only Christian, but
hundreds of non-Christian students, many of them children of wealthy
Malagasy. And
tomorrow we will have a whole day of school of transformation. Please
find attached the booklet we have prepared for these days.
From
last Sunday to this coming Sunday I have asked and they have prepared
an agenda in a way we are reaching out to pastors, market place leaders,
health agents, educators and the youth. And by Sunday afternoon, our
last meeting Camille, Elia and Mosa will bring all the leaders of their
core group together so we can listen and share with them to converge all
the efforts for this transformation project.
I
have planted the seeds for an apostolic coalition and I am seeing a
positive response for the idea, especially an interest to connect with
Kingdom like minded people from US and other parts of the world.
Our goal is to leave Madagascar with four main things in place. Please, write to jsalum@thekingsnet.com for information.
For the King and His kings.
