The following report is from Sherry Hartley.

"He says, 'Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'" Psalm 46:10

Fred and I just returned from Trinidad and Tobago. I am thankful for the opportunity to go with Fred to see firsthand how God is using the College of Prayer in another nation. We were grateful to see how the people embraced the teaching that he gave them back in January. The church has really become aware of God's manifest presence and are welcoming his presence and ministering to his presence. Their prayers were full of gratitude and faith and declaring his names. There were several pastors from other churches in Trinidad and from 2 other countries. The people have been reading and using Fred's books in their small group clusters. How we praise God for the hunger that these people have for him and how he is at work around the world. I was blessed and encouraged by worshiping and encountering the Lord with the people in Trinidad.

It really is amazing as we come to the close of this year that we have pioneered 26 new nations this year. We look forward to reaching the nation of Andorra this month and we are close to reaching two or three others. Thank you so much for continuing to pray for the nations!

- Over the past 38 weeks, we have pioneered ministry in 38 new nations.
- We have begun ministry in some of the most persecuted nations on earth. For security reasons, we cannot mention names.
- We have utilized Zoom to rapidly expand ministry into new nations. By the grace of Christ, we have identified a number of key leaders with whom we have already begun mentoring relationships.
- We anticipate pioneering 20 more new nations in the next 20 weeks. Keep praying.
- Revival Now Media has launched well. Our new app and new small group series are getting traction.
- New campuses are set to launch this Fall in the US.
- We are scheduled to facilitate Encountering God Weekends in several great churches.
- We are developing new partnerships in the US with some exciting new church networks and other ministries.
​- We are adding a number of new pastors and leaders from across the US into mentoring groups within the Revival Prayer Institute.

As I sat with 200 Cuban pastors in the capital city of Havana and listened to testimony after testimony of the dramatic impact the College of Prayer has had in this communist nation, I bowed my head in profound gratitude to Christ and said once again, "Lord Jesus, if the College of Prayer was born just for Cuba, it all would have been worthwhile! Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever!"

​We are grateful and excited to announce that Rev. Luis Calderon has accepted an offer to become our Regional Director for Latin America. Luis and his wife Ximena have been a growing part of our ministry for the last two years. It is evident that God's favor and anointing is on them. Throughout the last two years, our ministry among Spanish-speaking countries and people groups has exploded. Luis has been a critical part of launching the College of Prayer in Honduras, Cuba, Ecuador, and other areas. In his role as Regional Director for Latin America, Luis will oversee campus development in the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Mexico, and among Spanish-speaking groups in the U.S. and Canada.

A Honduras native, Luis, graduated from the Pastoral Ministries program at Seminario Bíblico Alianza in 1988. For close to three decades, Luis has served as a Pastor in New York, Florida, and in other states along the east coast. He's had oversight for christian education, discipleship, young adults, pastoral care, and missions ministries. He enjoys teaching and helping pastors to develop their vision for the local church. Luis is passionate about mentoring, training, and equipping pastors and leaders to revive the church.

If you plan to catch Luis outside of his ministry with the College of Prayer, count on finding him fishing at the closest beach or watching a soccer game at home with his wife Ximena. He deeply loves his children, Gabriela and Josue, and his grandchild, Joel.

I just returned from Cuba where I and our College of Prayer team enjoyed one of the most fruitful weeks of ministry I have ever had. We served 720 pastors and church leaders representing 12 different denominations and overseeing 30,00-50,000 believers in all 15 provinces of Cuba. Their hunger and receptivity was overwhelming. Hundreds of pastors told us, “This is exactly what we’ve been waiting for. God sent you here at just the right time!”

When we asked how many of them wanted to start Local Church Campuses of the College of Prayer, virtually every hand went up. The picture at the bottom shows them holding up a white sheet of paper, which is their Pioneer Proposal. It's a commitment and strategy to see their churches become houses of prayer!

Some of them oversee 30-50 local churches. All of them will be planting Local Church Campuses of the College of Prayer in the next month. This means that they will be planting more than 100 campuses of the College of Prayer every week for the next five weeks. Can you imagine -- it took us 15 years to plant the first 100 campuses of the College of Prayer worldwide; we are now planting 100 campuses each week for the next month and a half and 30,000-50,000 believers will be going through the College of Prayer curriculum in Cuba this Spring! All glory to Christ!

Thank you for praying and providing.

Fred Hartley,
President
