Be cursed and die!
Soon ater joining Arica Theological Seminary (ATS),
Pastor Michael Mgulu became the pastor o a new
church. In two years he grew the church to 1200+attendees. Not content to stay in sae areas he
moved the church to the heart o a Muslim/Animist
community. There he put
up a simple structure that
would seat 5,000!
The local Muslim lead-ers belittled the project
asking, Where will you
get the people to ll such a big space? The local
witch doctor put a curse on Pastor Michael saying
he would die unless he removed the church.
With challenges rom
both groups on his
mind, Pastor Michael
called the congrega-
tion to pray and ast
or 40 days. While the
surrounding communityexpected Michael to die, the congregation inter-
ceded. The church began to grow. An average o 15
people come to the Lord each Sunday. Hal o those
are ormer Muslims!
And the witch doctor? He died! The church is
fourishing, Christians are being discipled and the
community is being changed.
ATS students do not wait until they graduate to
make a dierence. Because they are ull time
leaders and part time
students they can putwhat they learn to im-
mediate use.
Africa Theological Seminary is committed todiscipleship that makes a dierence. The seminary
ocuses training and equipping on those already in
the ministry. Your support goes to Christian lead-ers already actively involved in transorming their
churches and communities. Their training adds skills
and understanding that will help them implement
solutions that solve real problems.
I will commit to pray and supportATS leaders like Pastor Michael.YES!
