Proposed AFMIN ON10 School for Namibia

We are looking forward, with anticipation, to the AFMIN Seminar to be held in Windhoek, during November 2009. We are blessed by the response so far and look forward to meeting new church leaders and once again seen everyone whom we met last year.

I will also take the opportunity to meet with some Church leaders in Windhoek, with regards to beginning an AFMIN On10 School in the near future, which forms part of our agenda for Namibia.
UPCOMING SEMINAR IN WINDHOEK

We have been privileged to visit Namibia a few times. Each visit proves to be a personal highlight in our lives. In July 2008, we visited Windhoek, where we were privileged to introduce AFMIN onto Namibian soil.

Margaret Mwale, who previously was an AFMIN secretary in Zambia, did a marvelous job of organizing AFMIN’s first seminar in Windhoek. The enthusiastic church leaders from various denominations that attended the seminar, were thrilled to hear of all that AFMIN has to offer. A wonderful spirit of fellowship was experienced over lunch. It was obvious that the doors have swung open wide for AFMIN’s welcome entry in Namibia..

We are planning to hold another seminar for church leaders in Windhoek in 2009. I am meeting with some Church leaders in Windhoek during November 2009. It is part of our agenda to begin an AFMIN On10 school in the near future.

AFMIN CONFERENCE SOON IN WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA

AFMIN (Africa Ministries Network Leadership Institute) is currently ministering in various African counties. To date, we have established Afmin On10 Schools in 17 of these countries.

We visited Windhoek during 2008, when we held a one-day conference to test the waters regarding launching an official Afmin On10 School in Namibia. I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming visit of AFMIN to Windhoek Namibia.

We are planning a 3 day Afmin Conference, in Windhoek from 12-29 November 2009.

The theme for the Conference will include subjects like “The Importance of Leadership Training for the Church”; “What is a non formal model of Biblical and Theological Training?”; “What is in-service training programs, research and consultation to African church leaders?”; together with information sessions.

Last year, Margaret Mwale assisted us by organizing our first Afmin Conference in Namibia. Margaret was a secretary for Afmin in Zambia but in now resides in Windhoek. She is presently our liaison contact person for the Conference in July.
