Ghana

God bless you all the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

 It’s been a long time that I (Brother Mark Machado) wanted to send this update but haven’t made time, my apologies.

 I arrived here in Ghana West Africa on Tuesday November 19th.

 As Brother Leonard would say, “It was hell with the lid off!” As soon as I arrived.

 I don’t remember such spiritual pressure for such a long period of time in all my ministry!

 Thanks for your prayers, Seriously!

 The Gifts of the Spirit course was a challenge and in my over 20 years of presenting this Great Message of God this was the 3rd time I walked out of a class.

 The students would not move in by faith and speak in tongues and interpret.

Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

 God had revealed several, in this case, Christians some from here and some from afar, who had tried to cast spells on me it was no picnic. It was confirmed by a man of God here at last night’s service.

Our property for building a Christian Training Centre of Ghana has the pillars for the wall built and will continue the wall as the funds are there.

We are doing campaigns for Christ in the evenings. I wanted to do them on the streets but no one would help with the preparation so we did them inside the Church.

Some came and were filled with the Spirit and, also spoke in tongues.

Others were healed.

I am sorry more was not accomplished on this missionary trip!

 We are planning an outside revival at the time of this update thanks for all your help for this ministry whole heartedly!

 Truly in Christ Jesus, your servant in Christ, Brother Mark Machado

Ghana

Greeting to everyone in the name of Jesus Christ!                                                                  

It seems like some time has gone bye since our last update.  I, Brother Mark Machado am in the process of renewing my passport because of the abundant open doors in other nations to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I needed an updated passport with 6 months or more time before it expires to receive visas to other nations, so I am renewing it early. I will be returning to Ghana West Africa in November of this year, and needing to schedule Uganda, Kenya, and possibly Cameroon at the beginning of 2025. There are other nations also in the making for 2025.

God bless you all for your labors of love and helping us preach Christ and His Salvation by Grace and other truths including the knowledge and training of Spiritual Gifts.

…but to him that soweth righteousness [shall be] a sure reward.  Pro 11:15

 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev.22:12 
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. I Sam 30:24-25

Concerning the property in Ghana, things are really going forward greatly in every way, thanks to your support and help. The first crop of corn has been harvested to sell. We will be planting a second crop next month to use as income to help pay for the facility.

A portion of the sand and cinder blocks have been delivered and part of the wall has begun to be build for the wall of the property. We are in the process of paying the laborers and for the material for this work.

We have a Rev B. G. Leonard Gifts of the Spirit Course scheduled here at our Headquarters for 2025, which is October 19, through November 2^nd.
If you would like to schedule this fantastic teaching and training course in your area, please feel free to contact Brother Mark Machado on his cell phone at +1-956-266-5866, On his WhatsApp which is the same phone number, or on our ministry email which is Leonardbg@cs.com.

We know life gets busy and we all have responsibilities, but we would love to (Maybe God would love to) hear from you and have you join us on our Wednesday evening and Sunday mornings live conference call line Christian Church Services. (7:30 pm Wednesdays and 10:30 am Sundays Central time).  See the attached information below this email.

Who can truly comprehend eternity with this carnal mind and mortal body?  Everything that we do for the one true God while we are here on earth will never be forgotten by The Lord God!

For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Heb.6:10

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Heb. 10;25

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. I Thes. 5:11

Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. II Corin, 9:11

What more can be said concerning everyone of you being a part of this ministry in all that you do and say so that we all can rejoice when we meet in the clouds in the air knowing that God is well pleased!
If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Job 14:14

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life…Dan 12:12

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. III John 4

Thank you, Thank you all for your prayers and support for all of us at the Headquarters of Christian Training Centre of Texas.

Truly in the Love of God in Christ, Brother Mark Machado, Sister Stephanie Newness and staff!

GHANA

The corn is growing on the land we purchased there in Ghana thanks to a faithful Pastor and graduate of the Gifts of the spirit course since 2002.

May 18th, 2024

Greetings to all of you in the Mighty Holy Name of Jesus Christ!

The properties we purchased in Ghana, West Africa for a Christian Training Centre Branch is being farmed and corn is being planted. At the time of this writing there is about 3 acres of corn planted.

We thank Pastor Edwin who is leading the progress. Enclosed are photos and video of the work being  done there.

There is much more needed to do. The next need is to build a wall around the property before we began the foundations for the buildings.

Thanking you always for your prayers and help in this matter, and for the work going on at Christian Training Centre of Texas Headquarters.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.  I Corin 3:7-8

Truly in Christ Jesus, Brother Mark Machado, Sister Stephanie Newness and Staff at Christian Training Centre of Texas Headquarters.
