It's difficult to capture all the people breaking up rocks with their small hammers, but this is how they make gravel for the roads etc. Labour intensive!

One day, some visitors came from Mudaka to tell us that they were experiencing a serious drought. People were suffering.
Water was only available from a distant location. You can see the effort involved to obtain this basic necessity!
We went to Mudaka to assess the problem.
For sure, the village was in very desperate condition. This is the village where we have the MB Chicken farm as well.
Our missionaries Ron & Elaine had already notified us that the farm would benefit from a direct water supply.
We thought perhaps we could meet both needs? A team went out with an engineer to do a survey and give us an estimate for the work.
It has been a laborious negotiation, but we have been able to approve the project!
It should be underway as you read this.
Because of your partnership, these people will have water!
When we met with the chief and some of the leaders, we were told that there was a man who planned to do this project, but he had died the week before. They said they were completely without hope! And then God heard their prayers and answered! There was great rejoicing, I can tell you!

Great report from our micro-finance post.......all loans are being repaid on schedule!
That can sometimes be an issue, but these ladies are remaining faithful to repay. They will then qualify for an increased loan by January. It builds their business gradually.
The report from the orphans and widows in Goma, is that 2 of them are quite sick. Please pray!

......bringing awareness of the suffering of our brothers and sisters in the D.R. Congo to the other side of the globe
...... not an easy message
...... often an unwelcome message
...... where to begin?
...... how to begin?
...... few are interested
...... but those who care, are wonderful people to know!
...... from the Congo, and also myself.....
...... our DEEPEST thanks and appreciation!!
...... people like you are rare and special!
...... can't wait to visit with you and tell you what a difference you have made in so many lives
Because of YOU
- children are in school
- youth are getting marketable skills training
- a young man is preparing for university
- 30 vulnerable women have been given a hand up
- a village has some water
- the hungry were fed
- the underprivileged found support and community
- the first ever seniors care group started
- hospital patients were provided for and supported, and a monthly program to continue this was initiated
- and much much more
The leader of one city told me that he is still receiving messages of how lives have changed since our visit 2 YEARS BEFORE!
He said "If I were to pass on all the positive feedback from that visit and the assistance received, I would be phoning you every day!"
I am the one hearing the encouraging reports, but YOU are the ones who deserve to hear them! I am only delivering what YOU have sent!
Please be encouraged today!
GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU!!
