JR summarized at the meeting what he had been doing on GGCC missions to Africa. He reported that 2021 had been a fantastic year GGCC with the crusade ministry in Africa (and all the updates can be separately seen in detail on the new GGCC evangelism crusades website www.enterinto.life)
This included:
-
A 3-week CfaN coaching initiation trip for JR as a completion of his Boot camp training, which was comprised of school’s evangelism and pop-up truck and market crusades in teams in the city of Morogoro, Tanzania.
-
JR then did a 2000 Km scouting trip across central Tanzania identifying and preparing the ground with a crusade director for 7 crusades in 7 towns/ small cities
-
5 of these towns were crusaded , with main crusades, meetings, fire conferences. schools’ evangelism and pop-up crusades in markets and other public areas. Much of the ministry utilized evangelistic trucks and

teams. The result was over 76,000 recorded decisions for Christ (including schools figures)
-
JR was involved with 3 other evangelists in a EAC crusade in Kilosa (as one of the above 5 crusades) with the same format. There they saw over 18,000 decisions for Christ over a 2-week period
-
JR also did a kids crusade in the city of Morogoro with another evangelistic organisation , and a Evangelism Invasion crusade in Dar es Salaam with other CfaN evangelists where the teams saw many thousands make decisions for Christ, which also included church preaching and schools and pop up crusades
-
He went and did a televised discipleship conference, and preaching in Kenya for Dr Bishop Charles Marita and Tumaini TV in Nakuru in Kenya (Tumaini TV now has a potential audience/coverage of 7.5 million people in the Nakuru and Nairobi areas of Kenya
On all these events and activities, JR reported that the Lord power was seen in many miraculous healings, which are logged on our GGCC website. www.enterinto.life
JR, HM and BS all gave thanks to God for all that he had done and for his tremendous answered prayers and for the souls save, and gave him all the glory!!!

GGCC Trustees meeting, year-end 2021 4
We reaffirmed the aims and scope of Tree of Life;
-
Preaching Gospel Messages.
-
An Interactive/community.
-
Apologetic The Bible – A book that is Extraordinary, History, Prophecy, Mystery. Answering specific common objections.
-
Healing Testimonies/ Miracle evidence.
JR noted that due to the development of a CfaN ap this year for its evangelists, the ideas of a resource for evangelistic events in different evangelists locality – section and resource for evangelists on the Tree of Life would be scaled back .
HM and BS The gathering of testimonies with evidence is making good progress JR Tree of Life remains on the CfaN graduate program - The Online Evangelist Tree of Life Initiative. (10 graduates expressed interest )
JR Content material for the Tree of Life website /ap continues to grow.
HM agreed to make a Google Drive for content to be loaded up in preparation for the site construction.
JR After a couple of failed attempts with designers this year JR invited the meeting to consider some different conceptual ideas for a graphic to develop for the look of the Promotional site, so no more time would be wated
The current website picture;
HM BS JR discussed this and although it had the merit of a symmetrical shape, the mirrored look did make faces in the picture which even with attempts at disguising by a graphic designer still seem to show ‘faces’ which look evil!
Other potential replacements:
GGCC Trustees meeting, year-end 2021 5
No 1. Many trees by water (representing river of life)
No 2. Single tree with light shining through it by water
GGCC Trustees meeting, year-end 2021 6
3. Broad leaf tree with light shing through
4. A stylised graphic image of a tree rather than basing it on a picture of a real
one
JR HM BS Had discussion on these graphics, and it was noted that JR and HM expressed a preference for a revised version of no 3
HM mentioned that no 3 could be photoshopped to make it more symmetrical and perfect looking
JR said that moving lighting effects could be added to this as we originally discussed or it can be animated like https://vimeo.com/46806453

JR then raised the subject of changes to the promotional website text and other factors, and a discussion with BS and HM agreed with a target finishing date for these changes in the summer of 2022
5. Harry’s Thinker/Tree of Life work update
HM discussed the stage that the thinker development was at which he described as proof of concept or ‘bicycle’ stage. As such , it had some functionality, but more development was required to get it to the ‘motor’ car stage which is the full realisation of the vision for the software.
HM mentioned that he had a way of using some of the software in a simpler form which could have a commercial application to be sold at universities and other organisations such as business schools. He then went into some detail with BS and JR with illustrations of how this software could work to sort out arguments from counter arguments so people could see the roots of their disagreements not the superficial emotional aspects. This would bring clarity of thought on the matter in question. This he said could have some financial blessing for GGCC in the form of a tithe of the profits.
6. Brents Testimonies /Tree of Life work update/ The Experience Project outreach
BS explained how he was discovering new testimonies with evidence, and how they would be presentable on the website and ap. He has developed categories, according to the supernatural gift of God shown, such as word of knowledge, healing, word of wisdom
The Experience Project
BS is working in this project with the support of HM and JR as part of GGCC aims of evangelism
BS mentioned that he had seen around half a dozen salvations in the past year at the experience project, and people healed, and we all praised God and gave glory to God for everything he is doing
There were discussions between BS, JR and HM about Simons current position before God and his leadership goals of the project, which it was noted at this current point frustrate potential ministry that as a group GGCC could have a
GGCC Trustees meeting, year-end 2021 8
further role in. Currently the leadership presented a block on what we could do, and for a church plant. We all agreed the situation needed prayer for things to change.
7. Any new Potential developers
HM suggested a new developer for the main development. His name is David White. He is a Christian with his own established business and track record. He is a full stack guy, so his gifts include design. He does artificial intelligence. His site is called www.netriver.com
8. Any other Business/ideas
We could think of none.
Closing prayers, the meeting ended with prayers and thanksgiving Next meeting: Dec 2022, exact date TBA
We agree These notes are true and as presented at the meeting
