| Maasai Conference in KimanaTony accompanied by John Chaffe and David and Margaret Yapp spoke at a conference in Kimana, just north of Mount Kilimanjaro in November. This is the report of Pastor Calist Sarumpe and Pastor Karachi Matongo: It was fantastic Tony Rozee and John Chaffe gave a fresh message from God. The members said " it is like these men had a sitting with God before they came here". Everybody in the Church now wants to understand God even more. It was like we were hearing the gospel for the very first time. God moved in a mighty way among the congregation: four ladies with leg problems were healed after Pastor Tony prayed for them; one lady testified that her chest was healed in the night as she was sleeping, she saw Pastor Tony praying for her in a dream and after waking up her pain was gone.

| Kisumu ConferenceConcerning the conference in Kisumu, Pastor Phoebe Onyango writes: We have never held our meeting in November (we generally meet in the second week of December), but when you said you could come in November, we prayed about it and God confirmed it to us. Also we have never held any meeting that started on a Monday and took seven days. However the spirit of lightness encouraged us that all things are possible for those who believe. The convention meeting was very good: we had about 270 to 300 people attending every day,of these 170 were Bishops and Pastors. During the five evening crusades around 2000 people attended and a total of 180 people gave their lives to Christ. I would say that in one way or another the Lord is using your ministries to change our community to Christ. The 150 pastors attended because we have built a network of pastors during the past two years that the Lord has been sending you to work with us. We believe great things are about to happen with new Bishops, Apostles and great leaders joining now.
Many people were healed during the conference: the pictures above show John Bodo who had been blind in one eye for seven years. His sight was restored after Tony prayed for him.

| Busia ConferenceBishop Sabastian 0kwero of Busia organised the first ever Christian Community of East Africa Prayer Summit in December 2009 at Nasewa Primary/Secondary School Compound. The aim of the summit was to bring together Christians from the region and from other countries also. These included leaders from Rwanda, DRCongo, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi and Zanzibar. Representatives from Connect Africa were on hand to demonstrate biosand water filtering equipment and very generously donated eight filters for use in the local communities. Tony and team started their visit at Busia Town Hall where they were greeted by His Worship the Mayor. Following this ceremony the Mayor accompanied the team to the Prayer Summit and opened the meeting with prayers. Tony and John spoke at sessions over the next two days and at outdoor crusades on site during the evenings. Many people were blessed eg a crippled woman walking on crutches started walking freely, an epileptic lady was healed and many people were filled with the Holy Spirit and started talking in tongues. Many souls were converted both in the conference and in the crusades. A pastor from DRCongo prophesied strongly over Tony Rozee and his ministry to Africa, his life, the nation of Tanzania and how God was pleased with this particular meeting. The entire community was impressed with the teachings about the Kingdom of God as their lives immediately changed.

Leaders Reports Kenya May 2009 |
In May 2009 Tony, accompanied by John Chaffe, made a very successful ten day visit to Kisumu. During their time there both Tony and John taught at three conferences: two for current Church leaders and one for emerging young leaders. Following the first conference one Bishop and four pastors reported being restored to their ministries saying that Pastor Tony’s message was full of hope and brought comfort to their spirits. Many leaders were overwhelmed by the power of the Holy Spirit and many experienced changes in their Churches on return.
Again there were many reports of people being healed during those times including a broken leg that was instantly restored. Another leader’s comment was that Tony’s message was full of the love of God and authority and they received many wonders. Bishop Maurice Aroa testified to a great move of God. Tony demonstrated the authority of the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit and many healings were received. As well as the conferences Tony and John visited some of the communities in the surrounding areas, where Tony preached the gospel and there were many instant healings and salvations. These communities often have problems with witch doctors and magic. Time and again Tony has seen God resolve these problems one way or another: some are saved and some lose their lives. This time they witnessed both outcomes. A man who was paralysed was healed and later confessed he was living with a snake. Many sick children were brought and healed. One afternoon at a visit to a Church in the suburbs 30 came to Christ and 20 people were healed.
Two members of a YWAM team who accompanied Tony to a village location experienced healings themselves: a young man with eye problems and a young lady with back problems. Pastor Walter Angienda received 15 new members the Sunday after a village visit and commented ‘we praise God for the souls that are now in the Church because of this visit’. Pastor Phoebe Onyango confirms that through these visits both the community and the Church was impacted, with healings and with many brought to Christ.
Pastor James Samo, KenyaAt the Young Leaders Conference many young people received deliverance, healings, miracles, infilling of the Holy Spirit and anointing to equip them for the work of the kingdom. These young people were challenged and inspired by the man of God, Tony Rozee, to be the people who are going to carry the anointing across the borders and to the next generation. They were stirred by John Chaffe who taught on leadership and how it is important to serve under authority, giving the practical example of himself and how he serves under Tony. On the last day the man of God prayed for the release of the anointing by the Holy Spirit and there was a great outpouring. The power of God through the Holy Spirit came upon individuals and some started to speak in tongues, others were slain by the power of the Holy Spirit, others were shaking down on the floor as they got instant healing while others received freedom from oppression as God spoke into their lives. The hall was a reminder of the day of Pentecost and we still feel the revival that took place. |

Leaders Reports Kenya Nov 2008 |
The November ‘08 visit to Kenya was truly blessed of God. We had another great break-through in a place called Obwolo, a churchless area known for its spiritual darkness and terrible bloodshed in the recent troubles. Bishop Ambros Samo and I followed the strategy we have used over the years, holding a leaders conference and doing outreach together in that place. The Holy Spirit was very active among the leaders, with many reporting healings and spiritual breakthrough in their lives. A great number of people responded to salvation during the nightly open air meetings, and we then had the first ever church meeting there on the Sunday - praise God! Please pray for that new church and its leadership to go from strength to strength.
We then travelled to the Siaya district in western Kenya for our second conference and outreach event. Again several hundred delegates gathered, mostly leaders we had not had contact with before, some of whom travelled very long distances to be there. The Holy Spirit was again at work in power; on one of the conference days, people reported receiving healing as we were teaching. The Holy Spirit was just moving from person to person at that time. The younger delegates were so stirred that they went out telling everyone they met about this, even visiting a local school to speak to the young people there, as a result over 300 people received Christ. Our associate Pastor Phoebe Onyango will be sending helpers to assist the local church in taking care of the new believers. We later heard that the area witch-doctor had sneaked into the conference, then come under conviction, repented from witchcraft and received salvation.
On to our final destination: Busia, a town on the Kenya Uganda border, which was another new location for us. This turned out to be the largest conference, with delegates from far and wide. God’s anointing was with us from beginning to end on the last afternoon, and the Holy Spirit just fell on all who were present. It was like a fresh Pentecost; all I could do was stand and watch in utter amassment at the Spirit’s power. On one morning we had an unwelcomed visit from a deadly snake, and the leaders there were convinced it was the work of a witch doctor because of the creature’s unusual behaviour. We sent it packing, and no one was harmed, thank God, but we nearly had a stampede when the people began to panic. All ended peacefully, and we later found the snake squashed on the road outside. The outreach there took place in a local market place. Again large numbers responded each night, and we left with great rejoicing all round.
A big thank you to all of you who pray and give financially to make the work that God has called us to possible.

Leaders Reports Kenya April 2008 |
April 08 report from pastors' conference, Kisumu, Kenya by Pastors Phoebe and John Onyango After getting an e-mail from Pastor Tony that he was coming backto Kisumu and willing to come to Salem,I called all the pastors that have always been blessedby Tony Ministry. We then formed a committee to organize for the meeting.The total number of people who attended the conferences was 302.The two day conference was a success and many people experienceda true healing. The Holy Spirit came in a mighty way on the evening of the first day, the same thing happened on the second. Many concluded that God is doing something new in Kenya. All those who have been to Pastor Tony’s meetings are seeing a great move of God that is transforming their churches. His ministry is being received across networks and denominations bringing them together for the gospel. A number of network leaders are currently planning further opportunities for Tony to visit, so that this move of God may reach every community. Bishop Dr Maurice Arao, KenyaIt was good to serve the community and see the miracles that God performed through you and the team from England and through those miracles God's Kingdom was established and realized in the lives of God's people. You are a unique man in God's Kingdom and you were a blessing to me when you spoke at Salem Church, and from then my spirit joined together with you as we shared lunch together and about God's revival in the lake region. It was like we've known each other for ten years. |

Leaders Reports Macedonia 2008 |
Pastor Jimmy Simons, MacedoniaYou have greatly encouraged our future church leaders, many of whom where healed themselves and went on to see that they too could be used in this ministry. No one that we know has a healing anointing like you have, and we believe not only will God use you to bring healing but also a multitude of people to Christ here in Macedonia.
Julijana, Skopje, MacedoniaHello dear brother Tony,
We had a blessed time in Macedonia, with you and the team from the UK, at the Healing Seminar in Skopje.
People who attended this seminar talk a lot about all the encouragement, teaching and spiritual blessings.
I think that this will be an event to remember - and the turning point for "new thinking" for the church leaders and believers in Macedonia.
I want to THANK YOU again for all your effort, encouragement and friendship to the Macedonian brothers and sisters.
May Our God abundantly bless you, your family and your work,
Warm Regards from Macedonia.
