miracles...

 We have been asked “what is your strategy for risk mitigation?”

We can say:  PRAYER!

This summer, TBA was at the point of losing everything.....sewing machines, office equipment, furniture and the buildings themselves!!

the fire started at 3:30pm Bukavu's local time, while two church choirs were having rehersal in the church building. After a few hours of worship practice, they noticed billowing smoke. People from outside the church compound wer screaming because they knew a fire was. threat to the whole neighbourhood!

African solidarity works to mitigate the risks! Neighbours rushed in to assist the church!

Our youth came out from the church and jumped in as well, becoming firefighters, defending Wezesha's office, the church building, and TBA facilities for UZIMA and Tupende Wazee, all of whom were rescued from the fire!

The progression of the fire was stopped by young people using buckets despite having no running water or modern fire truck....amazing!!!

We testify: PRAYER WORKS! Our God hears us!

 Thank you so much for your patience! Our medical journey has still not completed, but God is at work and we are seeing His support!

Prayer Please

We pause in our reporting temporarily......  

Our daughter is surviving some severe health incidents.

We put our trust in our great Father. He is guiding us and carrying us through this difficult time.

Thank you for your patience and your prayers!

in Him,

the journey continues....

It has been a privilege to be welcomed to various churches, to raise awareness of the needs of Congo! 

After B.C. we returned to Manitoba to visit our dear friends in Boissevain. Their support, prayers and encouragement has blessed us more than we can say....thank you Pastor Bob & Susan and all who came.

the next weekend, we made some new friends in Selkirk. They were so good to us. We were blessed. Thank you for being such a warm and welcoming group!

While the whole team is in Canada, we are using our time effectively to benefit D.R. Congo. Please pray with us the God will lead and guide us, and strengthen His ministry in our beloved country overseas.

British Columbia

and then God granted to privilege to attend the Four Square Church convention....

We met some wonderful Servants of God. Some interested in coming to Congo. Made new contacts. We were inspired by great worship and heart-filled messages, and challenged to just keep serving God!

A Great week, thank you Four Square Churches, and Pastor John and his wife Carol, for making it happen!

May God use our time there for His glory and to further build His Kingdom!
