Jesus is Lord.....

He is indeed Lord of all........in 4 languages. This is the front of our church here in Gombe, Kinshasa, D.R. Congo.

sharing the Word.....

Everything can be a challenge in another culture. This shows a pastor who needs to preach from 3 translations (French, Swahili, & Lingala) of the Bible at every service! Can you imagine?
When we were there, they needed a 4th. Ron, who was speaking, had 2 translations going on, with 2 different translators,  for every sentence.......

pray for them.........

In one week, Ron & Elaine leave for Bukavu to bring teaching and ministry to Bethsaida Church and other churches in the city. They will be very busy and have a demanding schedule. May God continue to use both of you and give you protection and great joy in serving Him!

I neglect to mention what a great great gift this man is to Together Building Africa! He teaches, guides and protects our ministry here in Congo. He is a man of great faith and vision. He challenges me, making me try new things (like taking charge of the church for the next month - pray for them!) He is generous and selfless. Without him, we could not manage! Praise God for His great gift! Rev. Raha, our son, THANK YOU! We appreciate you and love you!

Karibu - Welcome!

We are praising God for the safe return of our missionaries/friends from Canada! Ron & Elaine have already been a blessing to the church!
