“I attached you a photo with Al and I in the Philip-
pines.
I attended the Insight seminar last week and it was
great to have this training to help me to be an ABC
thinker. However, after I came back to HK, I found
that it is easy to go back to the old thinking habit.
We need to encour-
age and pray for
each other to prac-
tice the thinking tool
day by day. “

Marie and Vel-
ma were in
Grand Junction
Colorado for the
World Mission
Conference. We were there representing Insight
Resources International. We made many contacts
while there. Velma presented at two workshops.
She spoke about knowledge vs. comprehension
in making disci-
ples. This is the
method being used
in Mozambique
and now shared
with those in Hong
Kong and Philip-
pines.

Corson’s Concepts cont.
I am always amazed by people who refuse to acknowledge God
as creator. That thought came to me again as I beheld the beauty
of His creation while traveling to the latest IRI seminar held in a
remote village south of Manila in the Philippines. I started the
trip with some excitement and eager anticipation, mixed with a
little fear and dread at the thought of twenty six and a half hours
of airline flight and layovers.
Al and Jason had preceded me by several days as they had
flown into Hong Kong to meet with Ken Smyth, our host for
this trip. I was to meet them in Manila the day after my arrival,
then journey to the home of Marie Panti where the seminar would be held. Her village, on the
shores of Taal Lake in the mountainous region of Cuenca , is accessible only by boat. It was on the
boat ride, tired and ready to arrive at our final destination that a quiet peace came over me and I
realized the simple beauty of this place screamed out the evidence of God. Roman 1: 20-21 came
immediately to my mind. (For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-His eternal
power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being
understood from what has been made, so that men are
without excuse. For although they knew God, they nei-
ther glorified Him as God, nor gave thanks to Him, but
their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were
darkened).
The seminar started on Sunday afternoon, March 24th and
continued through the week. Those participating were all
church leaders from various countries around Southeast
Asia. Four young men came from Myanmar, three of
whom are professors at Christian seminaries in their
country. Six attended from Hong Kong and five from
various parts of the Philippines.
The sessions were informative, to say the least, and discussions were lively. It was a very good
group and all learned much about how their world view affected their thinking process. The icing
on the cake came after the initial seminar presentations when Al began a series of coaching exercis-
es on Saturday, March 30th, ending on Wednesday April 3rd. It was during these exercises that the
concepts introduced during the initial seminar were put into practice. It was an eye opening experi-
ence! To see these people take scripture from an intellectual/emotional experience to one of truly
understanding the concepts behind the scripture was overwhelmingly evident and had a great im-
pact on them and me. I saw and heard these men and women realize that their roles as teachers and
leaders in their churches would never be the same. Many expressed their belief that the seminar and
coaching exercises truly allowed them to begin transforming their minds as Romans 12:2 teaches.
(And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you
will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.) No longer
was scripture seen as something just to read, teach and obey. They came to realize that transfor-
mation comes only through understanding the concepts behind the scripture and that with transfor-
mation comes a stronger relationship with God and others. Relationship truly had meaning and took
on much greater significance.
Please join us in praying for these men and women as
they begin to lead their churches, teaching them to
transform their lives. Also please continue to pray for
IRI as God opens doors for us in Myanmar, Hong Kong
and the Philippines. Plans are already being made to
travel to Myanmar in the fall of 2014.

INSIGHT RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL(IRI) IN
MOZAMBIQUE The president of IRI and Leonard Chiteshi of Mozambique brain-
storming on the Biblical Worldview. Everyone has a worldview no
matter who you are and where you come from. A North American, a
South American, a European, an Australian, an Asian or an African
has a distinctive worldview. A worldview is your orientation to the
World, which is your perspective, the viewpoint or the angle from which you view the world.
The word of God is the authority in determining what is true or wrong. Our understanding of
the world is defined by God´s revelation of what is real or true.
As a result of a change in the worldview panorama Leonard is tak-
ing control of his environment by capacitating Linah Mutimbairi
from Zimbabwe in a small town called Chimoio, Mozambique. She
is currently working at the IRI office and at the same time learning
computers for her betterment as well as the betterment of Africa.
Leonard is also helping Linah to believe that the best development
is the change in attitude and determination. She is not only trans-
forming her conceptual thinking, she is also improving her standard of living.
Insight Resources International purpose is to teach people “HOW
TO THINK”, not to tell them, “WHAT TO THINK”. “HOW TO
THINK” is Biblical and it the first of its kind the world over. Leon-
ard (out of the picture, he is the photographer) is coaching Pastors
Paulino Sozinho (left) and Taona Saizi on promoting social
growth, economic and discipling of communities. Leonard is also
promoting seminars which will empower all levels of human re-
sources for the better management of their environment for sustain-
ability and development of their country. Leonard visits Pastors
churches both in urban and rural and has realized that the two pastors are also changing the
world view of many people in their churches.
This is Wiz Luís the guard. It is the norm in Mozambique to employ
a guard in every household or you risk being robbed. Besides guard-
ing during the night Wiz helps to clean the yard before he breaks at
6:30 am. The neighborhood has changed significantly ever since IRI
moved to its present location. God gave man authority to take control
of his environment thus when IRI took over the office at the end of
January 2013, improved the standard of hygiene in and outside of its yard. Consequently the
neighbors started maintain their respective yards too. IRI in Mozambique is making good
things happen!
The IRI-Mozambique has its headquarters in the neighborhood of
the suburb 1 in the city of Chimoio, Manica province. We are al-
ready decentralizing to different parts of Mozambique. Leonard lives
in this house and there is a big room to hold Insight Seminars and for
coaching. The building stand majestically above a small stream in
the neighborhood and the constant east-west whiff of air provides a
salubrious ambience. The roof seems to be touching the blue sky and
Leonard calls the IRI headquarters a Little Heaven!
