| Eldoret
At the Eldoret Conference we had over one hundred and twenty delegates, which included fifty pastors and over seventy leaders .The delegates came from Eldoret, Kisumu, Kitale, Bungoma, Nandi and Busia. We had powerful praise and worship teams from Kisumu, Bungoma and Kitale who ministered together with our team from Eldoret.When Pastor Tony ministered on Thursday evening, the Lord loosed six women from the bondage of sickness and pain and they were healed completely. Despite the enemy's attack on Pastor Tony's health such that he was unable to minister as we had planned, the Lord was gracious to us. Thank God for Bishop Phoebe whom the Lord anointed mightily to step in and minister for all the days of the conference.Many pastors confessed that their lives were revived-they had come experiencing burnout due to challenges in their lives and ministries but God touched their lives in a fresh way. On Friday many men and women of God were delivered. This happened when Bishop made an altar call and while praying the power of God fell on people and they were loosed from the oppression of the enemy. While this was happening in the Church, a certain young man was passing by outside. This young man had travelled from Nakuru to Eldoret to take an oath as a member of an outlawed gang of Mungigi. However the power of God blocked his way and he could not pass by. He approached us and told us his mission and asked if God would forgive and save him. After we shared God's Word with him, he gave his life to the Lord and got on the next bus back to Nakuru, a born again man. Our sincere gratitude and thanks go to Pastor Tony, Connect International and the Church in the UK for their sponsorship and making it all possible. May the Almighty God bless you abundantly.

On Tuesday we had a very powerful and encouraging meeting. Forty eight leaders attended that meeting. They saw themselves that they could be involved in the transformation of their districts.We saw the work of God that Pastor Tony has been building for the years he has been coming to Kenya. I believe that things will not be the same but changed by God.The network of Pastors has reason to smile because the future looks good.

Through your great love, preaching and teaching, the ministry here has increased tremendously and we continue to be blessed with new brethren. We thank the Lord for expansion. The fire is still burning in the lives of those brethren you prayed for. They are doing well physically and spiritually and they would love you to come back again for the gospel and to speak and teach.We have many testimonies: we have those who were healed, those who have blessings in their homes, and those the Lord has opened opportunities for. We have a lady who confessed of instant healing when you laid hands on her and she is grateful for what the Lord has done to her.God bless you man of God. Bishop Walter Ogwada, Migori
The place was packed and the majority were the young people. The word of God came down with power. The Holy Spirit moved in people. Praise God that almost 250 young people gave their lives during the afternoon meeting. Many were filled with the Spirit of God immediately. Bishop Phoebe Onyango

| KIMANA
The Kimana mission was very blessed, the team from the UK did a wonderful job over here. We had indoor seminars, open-air meetings and night revival meetings. The prayers were very productive - we had 58 people coming to the Lord at the time, plus 11 more later. Many were delivered from the powers of darkness and healed. We received 10 brand new bicycles, the pastors from the branch churches are very happy with their gifts. They now can reach their churches with ease, whereas before they were walking long distances. We also received many bibles in different languages.
Pastor Calest Sarumbe and Pastor Karachi Matongo, Kimana
We want to testify of the good work that the Lord has continued to do through our partnership. We have seen an increase in the number of people in the Fellowships. A good example is the Esambu Fellowship -the Church has grown from 25 people that we had the last time you came to now 3 different gatherings with over 600 people! The Kimana church that you prayed over near the road last time had only 10 people and now has over 200 people.

| Kisumu
Since 2005 Salem Ministry has joined together with Connect International to preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then three years ago we registered a trust foundation to help Connect International to reach more people. Our first activity was the Conference in Homabay in May 2010. So far we have registered 450 Churches in Nyanza and Western Kenya. In February 2011 leaders from Kitalt, Elodoret, Kajiado, and Migori came so that they could hear Pastor Tony for the first time.
Pastor Tony Rozée comes to train and equip leaders in realizing the Kingdom concept which is not preached in many churches here. Because of his message we have come up with practical ways of putting it into practice. We are working very closely with the Government to achieve our goal. Over the past years, Tony‘s ministry has grown with power and authority, all his meetings are full of signs and miracles and every year more than 60-70 people are healed.
The committee asked me to ask Pastor Tony to ordain some of the pastors who have been attending his meetings for several years and who were not already ordained. A committee was chosen to vet the people. A total of 49 pastors, evangelists and prophets were ordained.
I believe with all my heart, that God sent Pastor Tony Rozée to equip the Church for the end time harvest. Many Churches are now standing on strong foundations. We believe that within a few years the Government will respect the Church because of the quality of its leadership.

Tony’s preaching of the message on releasing the Kingdom of God through partnering with God has brought a huge transformation within the region: the church leaders have been equipped with the right tools for the harvest, unity among the church leaders has been strengthened, there has been a breakthrough in unity between the church and the local administration and we have experienced unity within the entire community as we have come under one roof to share the word of God together and experience the warmth of the body of Christ. Praise God for attendees from Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Southern Sudan and the Congo, and from different Churches: New Apostolic, Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal and Catholic. Also for local administrators and politicians and non believers who as a result of attending accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour. At the crusades, a total of 210 people came to Christ and they were directed to go to different churches within the area. Many were filled by the Holy Spirit and spoke in new tongues and many experienced healings. After the Crusade people flocked to the church and we could not send them away so we spent the whole night in prayer, preaching, and worshipping and praising God together. Bishop Sabastian Okwero

| 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.
