we would like to thank all of you for following the activities of TBA. We appreciate your prayers more than we can say! When we stand together, we can become a force spreading the Great News of our loving Saviour, where we are and to the ends of the earth.

May God give each of you more opportunities in 2021. And may He empower you to accomplish His good plans for you!

We send you our love and thanks......from us and from all the lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo, that you have touched!

 

Pastor Conference

The pastors really enjoyed the conference. They apologized that they had nothing to give us, so they wrote this song...

We were so very blessed!

What a special gift, still treasured!

 

LIFE goes on.....

Here are the latest photos from our churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo;

In Kinshasa church plant;

In Bukavu, Bethsaida where we are members. This is the church that 'covers' us with wisdom, prayer, and cultural wisdom and understanding.  (I think the third baptism this year?);

God is building His Kingdom even in these difficult times! YOU are a part of all that you see here! How does it feel to have a great impact on a people group so far away?

I hope it lifts your eyes and hearts to Heaven today!

 

Thank You our MIGHTY GOD for bringing us through these difficult days! I hope you all feel His presence with you every day! There is nothing greater to wish you. 

Because of Him we can have real LIFE!

Love to all of you.

 

 Together Building Africa is so blessed to welcome our new missionary!

This is Eric, he is an evangelist who has developed a God-love for the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo! God used him mightily this year and we look forward to his work in the future. Isn't God great?

Congratulate him with us. Leave him a word of encouragement. Go ahead, don't be shy...

Billy Graham has left us a message.....

 Habakkuk said “Lord please tell me what You are doing?”

And God said “No, I’m not going to tell you Habakkuk. Because if I told you what I was doing. You wouldn’t believe it”

If God told us what He is doing in the world, we would not believe it!

Don’t you think God’s given up, and God’s abdicated, and God’s left the throne. HE HASN’T!

He’s still on the throne!

And those of us that know Him put our trust in Him and Him alone.

I don’t put my trust in Washington. I don’t put my trust in  the United Nations. I don’t put my trust in my money. I don’t put my trust in myself. I put my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. When all the rest of it fails and crumbles and shatters….He’ll be there!”

Billy Graham

(Can I get an "Amen"?)

Pastor Conferences.....

I am not sure if we can fully understand the importance of this ministry. 

We usually go to remote areas, because there are many services available in the cities, but the greatest needs are in the rural areas. We have had between 80 - 200 leaders attend. Some of them travel through high-risk places to come. These leaders do not have the resources to attend much-needed courses, encouragement, or networking.

Here is a photo to help you understand their point of view.....

Our seminar was scheduled from Monday until Saturday. This man came on Wednesday. Our translator asked him why he came so late. 

Here is his response;

Please forgive me! On Monday my Son died, Tuesday was the funeral, today I am here! 😭

(the truth of his statement is revealed in his face!)

Now you understand.
