WATER…..

 

Water is critical for human survival and development.

“Up to 80% of illnesses in the developing world are linked to inadequate water and sanitation.” 

- Canada International statistic

These children are responsible to search for water in the dry seasons. 

The search for water can keep them from attending school.

These ‘jerrycans’ hold about 30-40 pounds of water. 

After finding water, they need to carry it home again!

And yet, you see the smiles?  

In spite of hardship and heavy responsibilities, they keep their joy.

I have things to learn from their courage!

TUPENDE WAZEE

Means “to love our seniors”.

Growing old isn’t all that easy anywhere. But it is especially hard among the desperately poor.

These widows have experienced unspeakable hardships throughout their lives!  Years of war left many without spouses or family members and no one to care for them. 

Now in their senior years they remain very vulnerable.

TBA has a program to empower them, build community, educate in health & wellness, and feed them. 

In times when there is a need, there is a place of safety for overnight.

This is a video of their Christmas gifts…a warm comforter and some material to make a nice dress. They were overwhelmed!

Thank you, supporters, for giving the elderly a tangible reminder of God’s care for them when life is difficult.

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...
