In the Amplified Bible we find Jesus telling his disciples,
“But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.” John 14:26
Pastor Timothy in India reports:
“My Dear Sister in Christ,
Heartily Greetings to you in Jesus precious Name!
Thank you for CCI School of Discipleship – Part ONE.
I am Studying and understanding every sentence, very useful to our ministry.
I and our ten pastors we all are studying and praying every day.
Thank you for your kind prayers for our ministry
May God bless you and your ministry
Yours brother Timothy www.tribalevangelisttimothy.org”

As the Walking in Spiritual Authority material begins to make its way around the world we simply pray that students are personally touched by the power of our Living God.
Please pray for these eleven lead pastors in India, for both provision and for clarity about how to take this course to other pastors and to congregations.
They are hungry for training and discipleship material. Timothy writes weekly asking for further materials as he has been one of the primary distributors of Capturing God’s Heart, having already passed them on to 1000 pastors.
We are just trying to keep up with him! We declare the Lord’s blessing and peace over him this day.
You can support the work of Capturing Courage HERE
The return on your investments into Capturing Courage International are the best you’ll find anywhere!
Consider this:
With a monthly reach of nearly 3000 pastors, apostles, prophets & evangelists, the people then being impacted are about 150,000.
You can be part of this work with your support.
In fact, this work is built on the support of ordinary people like you.
$50 a month makes a difference, and enables us to do more of the same, impacting even more as we go forward.
Think about sponsoring the work of CCI today.
2 Corinthians 9:7 reads, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
It is the cheerful heart that intrigues me.
While this verse speaks about money and our tithes and offerings, I wonder how might the ‘glad heart’ principle apply to the rest of our life?
The reports regarding our Capturing God`s Heart topical Bible studies are coming in –
here is the latest from Pastor Michael & his wife Mary in Kenya,
“Much greetings and much blessings to you in Jesus most precious name. Thank you for your mail and inquiry and what we are doing here, especially with the Capturing God’s Heart studies.
I am so much blessed because of God’s grace and love that enabled me to be connected to you so that I may have access to your teachings. I am a church planter in the rural villages and the slums in Kenya.
I reach many areas of my nation working with different churches in the rural villages. However our major problem had been lack of discipleship material. Having gone through your material I was very much happy since they are addressing all areas of Ministry. This is when I began using them in my church. I then introduced them to the Pastors working in my Ministry.
Since the beginning of this year we adopted Capturing God’s Heart studies as discipleship training material and our teams like them so much. Presently over 4000 people are being taught or benefiting from Capturing God’s Heart every week in the rural villages.
Over 60 churches from different denominations in western Kenya, Nyanza, Rift valley, Central and Nairobi are using Capturing Gods Heart studies. Due to poor internet availability in most places I do print and send the printed copies to the villages. I pray God will give you the opportunity during your African trips to visit us and many others.
God bless. Pastor Michael Agoye“
Pastor Michael is just one of six leaders (and many, many congregations) in Kenya who have invited us to fellowship with them – we are waiting on the Lord`s timing and leading regarding our time to come in Kenya.
Personally, I am eager to go there.
Please keep us in your prayers as we stretch forward into full-on ministry around the world. We thank the Lord for his favor over these God`s Heart studies, and simply commit all our effort and lives to the glory of God and God alone.

“Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the one who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! … So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day with pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus.” 2 Peter 1:3-8 Message
This is Pastor Timothy from his most recent crusade on July 3, 2013
Some years ago there was a prophecy spoken over Capturing Courage International that the Holy Spirit was going to go out from CCI all around the world; like colorful ribbons of joy and healing and comfort extending from our home base to many in many other places all over the globe.
We made note of this prophecy, and yet wondered at the vastness of the content, ‘How might this be?’ we asked.
As you may know we have been making available a small Bible study called Capturing God’s Heart on a monthly basis to indigenous pastors around the world. And we thought it was time to take a survey and to see how many people are being impacted so far.
While we do not have all replies yet, the first response from Pastor Timothy in India tells us this,
“I am going to many public crusades and pastors conferences and more churches for preach the word of god to the pastors and Christian leaders and many people as a main speaker in Andhra Pradesh in India.
Already we distributed Capturing God’s Heart studies to a minimum of 1000 church pastors and evangelists Christian leaders and bishops. 100’s of people they are reading and understanding and they are asking me for some more Capturing God’s Heart studies for distribution to many people; it is very needful to every church and everyone.
Many people are benefiting from the Capturing God’s Heart studies I am hearing from them some words they are telling with me, “We are healing and understanding, comforting, filled with holy spirit, Praise the Lord!”
My sister, your Capturing God’s Heart studies are really touching to the hearts of pastors and evangelists and every one in India.”
Pastor Timothy finishes off his email by requesting more God’s Heart Studies so that he can distribute them further.
One of the things we have learned at Capturing Courage is that when we show up and do our part, God shows up and does the rest. It is the pleasure of our Lord to take our simple offerings and make them into something that could have never been on our own.
While we have been regularly communicating with Pastor Timothy we had no idea that he was distributing Capturing God’s Heart to this extent. We know, that for every leader that receives one volume of God’s Heart that they in turn pass it on to anywhere from 10 – 500 other people themselves.
I’m not sure we are really going to be able to add up these numbers once they all start coming in.
We simply claim this work for the glory of God and God alone and in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“And then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life could be radically different; right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.” Mark 6:12-13 Message
We find intimacy with our Lord through prayer, and yet for many of us we are unsure how to pray. We worry that we are not saying the right words. We may think that the burden of prayer lies with us. We may not understand how conversational prayer works.
While we do not have time for a full study of prayer here, we will look at a primary principle of prayer: – Come before the Lord with a commitment to honesty –
“Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” Psalm 51:6

Your particular gift set, your experiences, your story and your unique personality are perfectly matched with the needs of this day and age. Learn how to completely settle into your own life and then into how to give it away.
This course is for those who want to do more with their lives for God and for others. It is for those serious about leveraging all of who they are for The King, the Kingdom of God and for people, the great loves of The King’s heart.
Your life is currency. How might you invest it? Learn how to express it.
The entire conversation about spiritual authority must solidly reside within the context of the Kingdom of God and the work of Jesus Christ. In Module One: The King’s Heart we dig deep into the character of God and how everything about who we are can reside within the light of Christ.
In our humanity our understanding of authority is often skewed and misrepresented. Not only have we been hurt by authority in the past, but many of us shrink from authority. In this we leave our legacy of co-regents in the Kingdom of God aside. It’s time to unpack Godly authority and take it on for ourselves.
Spiritual Authority is all about representing the King of Kings. It is about working out His will on this earth. It is about stepping up, taking the land and restoring to God’s original plan the details of our lives and our communities and this world.
Before we can know authority we must know its author. Risking to open our heart to the King of Kings, risking to have his heart opened to us we are equipped from deep inside to live authority that mirrors him and expresses him. That place where all things are made new.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, and Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Isaiah 40:28-29 ESV.
Please Note that we have this course written for a North American audience and also specifically written for our overseas indigenous colleagues.
