Transcript of Insight Resources april 2015 newsletter
Insight News
As of Jan 1, 2015 things in Mozambique have become progres-
sively expanded in that the demand for ABC training is explod-
ing.
In January I lost my dearest mother, she was 70 years old. She
lived in Rusape, Zimbabwe. It was quite stressful in that my
Mother died in Mutare Zimbabwe and I had to travel back to
Rusape with the body. This is a common situation here in Af-
rica in that a family member has to travel with a body to visu-
ally check it before leaving the origin and do another visual at
the destination to make sure nothing is missing. Being the old-
est living man child I was expected to speak at the funeral about my mother. Know-
ing my mother loved people I decided to give my
testimony on ABC thinking transformation.
Knowing my mother supported the betterment of
mankind this was an opportunity to give people
the tools to think outside their cultural box, and
for the betterment of Zimbabwe and Africa as
whole.
Back in Chimoio in Mozambique the IRI office is
busy with pastors and other professionals coming
for training in ABC -Thinking. Now keep in mind you and I both know that in Amer-
ica the word seminar is used but here in Mozambique we are just a bit simpler by re-
ferring to the seminars as ABC coaching. One thing IRI works at is to help the pas-
tors achieve the understanding of their own Identity. We
have pastors, bible teachers, school teachers, university
students, missionaries, military personnel, and government
officials, some come once a day, some 1 time a week and
others 4 times a week. I work with these people, coaching
them one on one as their schedules allow. One of the
things each of these people have brought to my attention is
the fact ABC thinking produces “True Truth” in how they
see themselves in this world and how they see themselves
in Christ. We at IRI call this direct identity. This empower-
ment is essential and here is why. As IRI has indicated in the
past newsletters many conceptual words are missing in most all
African cultural languages. Each of these people groups I am
coaching has embraced this realization. It is only through per-
sonal empowerment, direct identity and truth in what is actually
comprehended can anyone develop themselves by developing
what is lost in their cultural language.
So with that said, “What is Direct Identity?” If we look at the
scripture, we have a huge example of what Direct Identity is.
God is the I AM. Jesus says, “I and the Father are one.” This is
an I AM. Jesus says, “No man comes to the Father except

Leonard’s Logic cont.
through ME.” This is I AM in Christ. The example set in the scriptures is specific. God
is direct to Himself as He is to Jesus as Jesus is direct to Himself as He is to man. Man has
to be direct to himself as he is to Christ. In other words, each
person needs to have direct relationship with Christ, not
through anyone else or anything.

A recent update from Leonard: The IRI office is flooded with
Pastors to learn ABC-Thinking. The pastors are saying there
was something missing in the church. However, they are glad
they are now discovering the secret (the truth or biblical think-
ing) through ABC-Thinking! Even soldiers cannot resist ABC-
Thinking!
Greetings friends and partners! I’ve had a long
trip these last few months, traveling around the
U.S. visiting our supporters and partners, at-
tending missions conferences, and putting on
workshops. It has been quite a journey, rang-
ing from Washington state (where I live), to
Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Okla-
homa, Montana, Nebraska, and even Texas. I
love travel, but that kind of running around is
beginning to tire even me out! Here’s a quick sum-
mary of the trip so far:
Norton, KS:
I stopped over for a quick visit to Norton Christian Church in Norton, KS where I was able
to have dinner with and talk to the missions board about the work IRI is doing. I was also
given the opportunity to speak briefly at the Sunday morning service. Thanks again to eve-
ryone at Norton Christian Church!
Grand Junction, CO:
Traveling west from Norton, I went to attend the
World Missions Conference in Grand Junction,
CO. While I was there, I had the chance to speak
at two workshops, and meet with representatives
from several other missions organizations. We
made a lot of great connections at the conference,
and look forward to going back to Grand Junction
again. Thanks to Clifton Christian Church for
hosting the conference once again this year!

Conference
DeKalb, MO:
After the conference, I headed back east to visit the DeKalb Christian Church in
DeKalb, MO. I was able to speak at the Sunday service and talk to many people after
the service about the work IRI is doing around the world. Thanks again to the mem-
bers of DeKalb for their hospitality and generosity!
Broken Arrow, OK:
Leaving DeKalb, I traveled south through Kansas City and Joplin to travel down to
Broken Arrow, OK. Northside Christian Church in Broken Arrow has been a long-
time supporter and friend of IRI, and one of our board members, David Center, lives
in the area as well. I was able to spend several days there, visiting with David and
meeting with various members of Northside. Thanks again to Northside for their hos-
pitality and enthusiasm about the work IRI is doing!
Lewistown, MT:
Oklahoma is a long way from Montana, but that was the next stop on my tour. After
passing through Kansas and Nebraska, I was able to stop for a moment at the Church
of Christ in Torrington, WY before heading on through Casper and Billings to reach
Lewistown, MT. First Christian Church in Lewistown
had requested that IRI put on a workshop so that the
church members could have an opportunity to see
what we are doing on the field first hand. The work-
shop was a full week long and was a great experience.
I was able to meet several members of the church, and
we spent days investigating ABC thinking and how to
think through building positive, direct, Biblical rela-
tionships with God, themselves, and their neighbors.
Thanks again to First Christian Church for sponsor-
ing this wonderful opportunity!
Everyone Else:
As of this writing, I am wrapping up the final day of the First Christian Church work-
shop. Once I am done here, I will be heading back home to Spokane. On the way
back, I will be stopping to visit with other friends of IRI. We have a lot of supporters,
and while I only listed the major churches and events I stopped at, my trip actually
included a lot more people and stops than just the churches. Along the way, I was
able to meet with several friends of IRI and of myself, personally. Time and space
doesn’t allow me to personally thank every family that provided housing for me dur-
ing my trip, nor the friends I was able to visit with along the way. In addition to the
places listed, I was also able to visit friends in Denver, CO, Kansas City, MO, Joplin,
MO, and even Dallas, TX. A huge thanks to all the friends of both myself and IRI for
your support and interest in the work we are doing in Africa, the Philippines, and
around the world! God bless you all, and I hope to see you again soon!

A Note On Spiritual
Growth:
Many people assume that because
you are thinking (as we empha-
size in our teaching), you must be
less spiritually connected with
God. This could not be further
from the truth. In fact, the more
you understand someone, the
closer you get to them—this is as
true with God as it is with other
people. It is our belief that spiri-
tual growth without an increase in
understanding (through good
thinking) will inevitably plateau.
As our understanding increases,
however, so does our ability to
grow in Christ. The more you un-
derstand, the more God has to
work with, and the more you can
learn.

The greatest thing that you can do for Insight Re-sources International is to actively pray. We believe that Prayer is the corner-stone of this ministry and without it we cannot stand against Satan’s attacks.
