How Far Can You Go?

"Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for an inheritance, and the utter most parts of the earth for a possession" (Ps 2:8).

"Your story has gone around the world, and we want you to help us set up a business in New Zealand". The man talking to me, was a Maori from New Zealand. His name was Bill Osborne, a legendary member of the revered, "All Blacks" rugby team, of the 1970s.

"Do you have a cell phone license?" I asked him.

"No, not yet, but we believe it might be possible to do what you did in Zimbabwe."

"Oh, I don't want to fight another protracted legal battle." I said.

What do you "see?" The Audacity of Faith. (Last Part). by Dr. Strive Masiyiwa

It was time for the questions, from the Swedish advisors to the Botswana government:
"You say that you expect to achieve 120,000 customers, which is 10% of the Botswana population, within 5 years?
That is not possible. This kind of growth has not been seen anywhere; how can it be?''
"Those are our projections, sir", I replied calmly.
They stared at me.
I stared back.
"Can you show us where you get your numbers from?"
"Yes, I am happy to discuss our research of this market. Please go to page xxx, and we can go through our numbers with you."
"We have seen your research. It is very well done, but we are finding it difficult to believe that there will be that level of demand."

What Do You See? Part 2 by Dr. Strive Masiyiwa.

The two weeks prior to the submission of the tender bid for Botswana, are probably the hardest I have ever worked in my life, even to this day!
We produced a 900 page bid document, using a team of 35 people. Sometimes we went for two or three days without much sleep.
There were 21 bidders who had collected documents. They were mostly big multinational companies from all over the world, including operators like Vodacom, MTN, Bharti, France Telecom.

The Botswana government had hired international consultants from Sweden to run the process for them.

Although we were facing such fierce competition, and we were unknown, I had deep faith, that we would win. I did not care who we were up against, we had to beat them!

Did you know...

If you stacked 1,000 Bibles on top of each other, they’d be as tall as Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer statue?

What Do You See? Part 1 by Dr. Strive Masiyiwa

Our first mobile license was not Zimbabwe, as is generally believed:
It was actually Botswana, in 1998, several months before we were licensed by a Supreme Court in Zimbabwe.

The government of Botswana called for international tenders, from experienced operators. It was to be a "beauty contest", in which operators had to submit proposals on how they would provide services, if they won the license. Botswana is a country that does things very professionally and transparently.

Although I had lots of ideas, on how to win the tender, there was one big problem: we had never operated a cell phone network, and so we had no experience, to qualify as a bidder. Most people would have walked away at that stage, but I would not be deterred: I drew up

Love Others As They Are

…But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:7-8).

Some people believe anyone who isn’t like them has a problem; they try to "change" other people or get them to measure up to their standards. Having pastored for so many years, I’ve learnt that you really can’t "change" anybody. The best thing is to see others the way God sees them; love them the way they are.

God didn’t ask us to change so He could love us; He loved us while we were yet sinners. He didn’t wait for us to become righteous first; He loved us the way we were and sent Jesus to die in our place.

If God didn’t wait for us to "change" first, before sending Jesus

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF SUPERNATURAL HELP

October Global Classroom With Pastor Chris. More

Pastor went on by answering a question from UK, which said will God forgive a Christian who makes a proclamation in Islam just to save his or her soul?

Pastor answered this question by saying it's a conviction, it's not something you can lay aside, in Matthew 10:33, Jesus said, 'whosoever shall deny me before men...' When Jesus says he doesn't know an individual, that individual is finished forever. Christianity is beyond this earth. Jesus didn't come to save us just so we could have a nice life here

The October Global Classroom Simulcast with Pastor Chris

Pastor has begun the Question and Answer segment and answering the first question on bullying; Pastor explained that when one faces a situation such as this, such a person has to believe in who is and refuse to be afraid like the word of God has taught us.
