Praise and Worship in New Life Amsar!

 

 Thank you to those of you who have waited patiently for a new word from us!

We are back in Canada and making the difficult adjustment....missing Congo and all those we love, but reunited with our loved ones on this side. It is painful to always miss family on one side or the other, but also a great blessing from God to HAVE loved ones on both sides!

the story I would like to share today is Eric's....

there is a dear lady in Bukavu who lives in severe poverty. She has a huge built-up shoe that assists her walking. However, the shoe is so heavy it limits where she can go and even when. If there has been a strong rainfall, she is limited to areas that are not so slippery. Her home is in a very muddy, steeply hilled area. Her home was also an issue. The roof was not waterproof at all, creating more difficulties for her life. You get the picture.

Missionary Eric, shared the story with his family. Together they decided to intervene on her behalf. 

They had her roof replaced last fall, and she has an appointment for a new shoe, made of lighter materials! The appointment was to take place after our departure, so we will not see a picture for a while.

Thanks to Eric and his family, her life will be so improved by the love they have expressed for her!

Glory to God for these opportunities to show His love and concern for 'the fogotten', and for all of us!

We praise His name!

Good mornings friends! 

We could use some extra support right now. There has been a major 'glitch' in our return plans, which were due to start Wednesday. 

Pray that we will hear the leading of the Lord and regarding our flights and schedules?

sometimes the dreams God crushes along the way are so we can dream bigger ones

our hope is not in our circumstances, our Hope is in Jesus who promises to be with us until the end! 

 We shared a small but powerful conference for Pastor's Conference. We all left renewed in our vision to keep the Gospel moving forward minus the many compromises, that have gained such popularity!

God is relevant and effective even in 2022. 

After all.....His name is not "I Was"....... He is still the Great "I AM"!

(side note: I LOVE the sound of the drums, so I tried to learn a new skill .....rather unsuccessfully)

This week is the end of our last conference (most conferences were different topics) Each one was a glorious celebration!

when we surrender to Jesus Christ, we want to live to honour Him

one hundred years from now——what we do today, counts——- forever!

(well, perhaps with the exception of drum playing, in some cases? 😄)

Eric's Update.....

This is a brother we met at the New Life Chruch plant in Amsar. 

He was born with only one leg, and his good leg has been causing him a lot of pain!

He requested that we would pray for him. 

Eric went the extra mile, and raised some funds for the man to seek medical attention to save that leg!

We all prayed for him immediately, and the following week, he was baptized! He testified that the pain in his leg left shortly after praying for him. 

Praise the LORD, who is our Great Physician!!

Hope you're blessed......

After sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in Amsar.....well see for yourself....

so thankful to God for His faithfulness! Thank you for standing with us in prayer, God is hearing, here is His answer!
