Dr. Frank Byela, Guest Speaker


Our guest and assistant for this conference was Dr. Frank, a Congolese medical doctor by profession, but a preacher by "calling."


Though we didn't assign him tons of teaching sessions, we asked him to lead the showing of the Transformation videos. He did a fabulous job of translating from his mother-tongue of French, into Swahili.


What a whopping success!! After hearing teaching from Bob and me during the morning and afternoon sessions, the ministry leaders were then able to watch gripping testimonies of transformed communities all over the world. . .thus, allowing them to view examples of people who had put into practice the same principles we had been teaching them.


The excitement of what God is doing in the world totally overwhelmed them. Several times during the movie, the pastors erupted into "Hallelujah!" "Amen." and "Bwana asifiwe!" (Praise the Lord!)
