May God's grace be with you all!
Together Building Africa is still at work and going forward as God leads.
Our Tupende Wazee (love our seniors) group are still being fed and celebrating being together, benefitting from encouragement, companionship, and teaching. There is no system in place to support these people, many of whom have experienced great losses. We have seen lives changing dramatically through this program, as they develop a renewal of strength and hope!
UZIMA the sewing project is forging ahead with 9 students. We anticipate their graduation at the end of the year. They are being trained to become tailors. The east Congo has no garment factories, so this provides a marketable skill. UZIMA targets those living in abject poverty.
In addition, we are seeking an effective answer for a few of the 4 million orphans in the country. Pray for us as we seek God's guidance and wisdom.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, when people are suffering and in need, they turn to the churches. Therefore, working through the church promotes trust and protects the culture.
Thank you to all of have remained faithful! We feel blessed by your presence!
