Trumpets of Zion (TOZ) has been raised up as a discipleship mission with a vision to become an equipping center for the Kingdom of God. We believe that God wants us to empower the body of Christ to maturity for the work of ministry wherever He leads us. We have a mandate to prepare the way of the Lord.

Recently in November of 2006 God called us to go to Kenya to do leadership training in some villages and churches around Kisumu Kenya. We were able to spend time in their culture and minister to women and children as well. God moved mightily through His word and Spirit, starting a move of hunger and thirst for more of His presence and power. We saw many changed and filled with the Holy Spirit.

TOZ was asked by a group of 20 Kenyan pastors to start a ministry center there in Kisumu. We are currently in the process of registering TOZ in Kenya, and transferring a land deed for a future center. We believe this will be a long-term Kingdom relationship and ministry reaching as far into the spiritual and natural needs of Africa as God will mandate. We went into Uganda to intercede for the work of the Kingdom of God there and plan to return to minister. We have formed a TOZ fellowship board of 20 leaders with Peter Onyango as the overseer of this ministry in Kenya. We met Peter here in USA seven months ago. Peter is well educated and has been called into the work of an apostle for Kenya. He is gifted with much wisdom and leadership skills.

In the month of February of 2007 Vince and Janee will be returning to begin the first step of training with the 20 pastors. TOZ is a member of the world-renowned Bethel Series Program and we have 10 years experience teaching this course. Vince and Janee will do a training clinic to equip Peter to finish the course. We will also do leadership training in hearing the voice of God, understanding the language of the Holy Spirit and living the biblical prophetic from the secret place.

The vision is to see the set up of TOZ Kenya for a Kingdom ministry center where prayer, worship and discipleship will be constant and where many will be sent out to various callings empowered by the Holy Spirit. We also see this ministry planting new churches, other missions and reaching out to the poor, the orphans and the widows.

God has instructed us now to build a missionary support system. We have stepped out in faith , especially financially, in obedience to the Holy Spirit . Vince and Janee Hawks are the vision bearers for TOZ. The body of TOZ is a small group of leaders who understand the calling to be the vision carriers. We believe God for a base of vision supporters for this work in Kenya.

Would you please consider us as a prayer support and if God touches your heart to be a financial support (tax deductible) to this vision, please let us know. Our prayer is for God’s will to be done and His Kingdom to come on the earth as it is in heaven. May the grace and peace of Jesus Christ fill you.

Previous Reports from Kenya
Kenya – November 2006

Janee, Tim and Suzanne traveled to Kenya November 5-15 2006. We arrived in Nairobi for one night stay and traveled a rugged 8-hour bus trip to Kisumu, Kenya to meet our guide, Apostle Peter Onyango and his family. The bus trip with all it included shook America out of us real quick.

We spent most of the days ministering and teaching Pastors and leaders from around the Kisumu area. God met us in a real glorious way. We had a day of ministering to several of the women of the area. It was a precious and intimate time with them. We also had some times to teach many children including orphans. We were able to feed a good meal to a bunch of orphans. We went to schools to pray with the head masters, teachers and over the schools. We went to the village jail and ministered, seeing 3 of the police officers saved. We also drove across the Uganda border to pray and intercede for a much needed move of God. We planned to do a conference at the mission there on the next trip.

God was faithful to us through the battles and the fast pace. God moved mightily with anointing to preach the gospel to the poor, to see Him heal the broken hearted, set the captives free, set at liberty the bruised, open blind spiritual eyes and ears. We were awed and overwhelmed at the love of God for the people and from the people of Kenya.

It was a special blessing to be a part of the families and culture there and to feel that because of Christ through us some were saved, and the church was blessed and refreshed. We believe God started a move of His presence there, some experienced the fire of God and many tasted the goodness of the Lord. We give our great and mighty God who is "The Faithful One" all the praise and glory for lasting fruit in the Kingdom of God in Kenya. We also look forward to more opportunities to do the will of God in Kenya in the near future.

Four of Trumpets of Zion staff members have been to Mozambique, Africa on three separate mission trips over the past three years. Working with Rolland and Heidi Baker’s Iris Ministries, Tim Pugh, Samuel Clough, Mark and Jennifer Mozley, have had the honor of being a part of a revival that is unprecedented in church history. In fact, Mark & Jennifer actually got engaged in Mozambique in 2002 with Heidi Baker marrying them the following year.

Staying at an orphanage of 500 children, the teams would participate in various outreach events including pastor’s conferences, street preaching, praying for the sick in hospitals, plus jail and refugee camp ministry. They participated in church plantings in Pemba, Mozambique where they saw Jesus save 100’s of Muslims in a single outreach. And yet perhaps the greatest privilege was simply hanging out in the dirt and playing with the children. “Stopping for the one” person was imparted into all of their hearts on these trips and we’ve seen the fruit of these missions back in the states…as the team continues to reach the lost and dying through various evangelistic events in Georgia.

TOZ leaders Mark and Jennifer Mozley are currently in Mozambique Africa.

This is their third mission trip to this area serving with Heidi and Rolland’s ministry Iris Ministries. Please keep them in their prayers as this is a demanding environment for missions, especially during this summer period when the temperatures are especially hot. Also watch our news for a full update when they return from their trip.

Trumpets of Zion sponsored a mission trip to India for two of it’s members, Mark and Jennifer Mozley, in July 2005. They ministered to hundreds of Indian leaders in two pastor’s conferences as well as numerous outreach events. It was refreshing to see the humility, hunger and passion of the India pastors who suffer from intense persecution in a culture dominated by the Hindu and Islam faiths.

They witnessed the salvation of dozens of people during various outreach events throughout the trip. They were particularly touched during their visit to an Indian leper colony…where the love of God flowed freely. During the last leg of their trip, they stayed at an orphanage and fell in love with the precious children their families had rejected. Revival is breaking out all over India and it was their privilege to see what made this region such a hotbed of God’s tangible outpouring of His Spirit.

It was evident by their emphasis on prayer, fasting and attention to discipleship and evangelism, that the India people captured His heart. In these and many other ways, the trip confirmed that Trumpets of Zion is on the right track with their ministry focus. As it has been since the great commission came from our Savior’s lips, it’s still all about loving God and loving people.
