The Livingstone School of Missions (LSM) 2024 kicked off on June 2nd with a powerful opening address by Rev. Dr. Ray Mensah, Director of Oneway Africa. In his speech, Dr. Mensah inspired participants to seek divine encounters and emphasized the importance of character over performance, aligning with a vision he received from God years ago.
A Family Atmosphere
LSM's warm and welcoming environment was palpable. A heartwarming example was Tina’s birthday celebration, where she experienced genuine joy and felt deeply appreciated by her peers and the school management. Tina expressed, “I feel so loved. I can't remember the last time I genuinely smiled like this.”
Emphasis on Physical Fitness
Recognizing that physical well-being is crucial for effective mission work, LSM integrated daily exercises and sports into the curriculum. Students participated in various activities, including a memorable mountain hike to Peduase Lodge, fostering trust, collaboration, and endurance.
Spiritual Growth
LSM’s approach to training is holistic, encompassing daily worship, fervent intercession, and Discovery Bible Studies (DBS). Seeing young people from ten African nations and the UK fervently praying for unreached people groups underscored LSM's commitment to global evangelization.
Practical Mission and Evangelism Training
Mission training began with a comprehensive introduction to missions and evangelism. Students applied their learning in real-world settings, leading to impactful testimonies of faith commitments and personal transformations.
Culinary Care
Pastor Bright Kwarfo, known affectionately as Shepherd, and his dedicated kitchen team ensured students were well-nourished, contributing significantly to the overall success of the training. His service was acknowledged with heartfelt gratitude and prayers for abundant blessings.
Looking Ahead
The first week of LSM 2024 has set a strong foundation for the remaining three weeks, combining spiritual, physical, and practical training to build vibrant, spirit-filled missionaries. As the training progresses, the focus on character development, community building, and effective evangelism promises to prepare participants for impactful mission work.
