African Summer
April 18, 2009
Dear Friends, and Family,
Some of you know that I’ll be heading to Africa on May 25th for about two months. What many of you don’t know is why I am doing this. Please, allow me to enlighten you.
I will be accompanying a woman named Robbie Harrington under the spiritual covering of Christ and the physical banner of Ancient Promise, which is an organization she founded over the last few years. Ancient Promise’s soul-shaking work has been impacting Christian’s at a level long hoped for and often not found in conventional church-going methodology. This organization has been shaking my life awake to the love of God my Father and to the passionate persistence of Jesus over this past year, and is now affording me the opportunity to further its purpose in Africa. Well, affording is actually where you come in. Let me tell about our plans for Africa then you can decide if you want to help me out.
The purpose of this trip is to work together with the church leaders in Nyamusi Kenya and in Tengeru Tanzania to develop a culturally relevant way of discipleship that will be impacting to the people. We will be working and living in a village called Nyamusi in upcountry Kenya with the purpose of understanding their way of life and needs better. In Tengeru Tanzania we will be staying at a Bible College working with pastoral leadership. We will also be looking to spend as much time as possible in the surrounding villages.
Our overall purpose is to find a way of helping leaders understand how to feed their people truth that will stand the test of suffering, cult distortion, cultural traditions and lack of education.
I anticipate this trip to be incredibly wearing on all levels; physically, spiritually, and emotionally. However, I trust that God has called me into this mission. With this trust comes the faith that He will be a shield before me in the face of all trials both now and in those to come while in Africa.
Please pray specifically for the hearts of the men and women we will encounter during our trip. Pray that we can be instruments of God and rightly display the love of Christ. Pray for our health and that God will bless me with an iron stomach and the good sense to keep well clear of the tap water, amen. Most importantly, pray that the spiritual forces working against us will be bound so that God’s Word can be proclaimed in power and with great efficacy.
If you can’t pay for me that doesn’t mean you can’t pray for me, so keep me in your prayers this summer. I will be in Africa for 63 days. The following may help you know how you can help.
It will cost me $90 per day to be there. This amount includes airfare and travel expenses.
Prayerfully consider giving of your support by sponsoring me through:
___ Daily prayer
___ @ $90 per day
___ @ $630 per week
___ @ other
If you would like to receive email updates while I’m gone please respond with your email address, or email me at: danishgeneral@hotmail.com
Make checks payable to: “Ancient Promise”
MEMO: Dane, Africa
Mail to: Ancient Promise
11850 Enterprise Drive
Auburn, CA 95603
I know this is close to the worst time in history to be asking anyone for money, but perhaps you could follow in the footsteps of our current administration and help bail me out in time for this trip.
Peace and Good,
Dane Johnson
