Oak Lake

 Thank you Oak Lake! We enjoyed our time with you sharing what Together Building Africa has been doing.

It was great to connect with new friends and old! We were blessed by you!

UZIMA (LIFE) PROJECT

 Today we were able to watch online as the first sewing class graduated! What a wonderful moment!

They studied their craft for 9 months, took 2 months apprenticeship, and are ready to start out on their own. They have been divided into groups of three, given a sewing machine, and provided with a small corner to begin their own business.

The program accepts orphans who have aged out of child support programs,  high-risk women and girls, equipping them, through vocational training, to earn basic amenities. They are able to stand with dignity in the community.

All of you who have helped support this project should feel deeply satisfied! Thank you for making this possible! I wish they were able to thank you in person. Then you could see the impact first hand. You are doing missions!

a re-post....

I know I have shared this before, but to me it is a motivational declaration. I hope you find it so as well...

The Amsterdam Declaration 2005;

"We pledge ourselves to work so that all persons on earth may have the opportunity to hear the Gospel in the language they understand, near where they live.

We further pledge to establish healthy, reproducing, indigenous churches among every people, in every place, that will seek to bring to spiritual maturity those who respond to the Gospel Message."

BRILLIANT!

a good reminder.....

 How to make a ministry grow....the issue is always, only, fully, clearly, uncompromisingly, and exclusively JESUS! If Jesus is lifted up, then a crowd will gather, that crowd will be converted, those converts will become passionate, that passion will result in creativity, and that creativity will result in a movement of God, because the Holy Spirit delights to work through His people to the glory of Jesus!

(May His name be greatly glorified through Together Building Africa!)

we have been connecting with supporters of Together Building Africa. Bringing a report of what their support has been doing in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

This has have had a wonderful time fellowshipping with the believers in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia! Their love, support and WARM welcome has been a great encouragement to us!

I wish there were stronger words to say THANK YOU BRIDGWATER!

urgent....

please pray for all our dear seniors, orphans, & family who are presently suffering severely with the current unrest..

These dear people are so vulnerable and in need of protection that only God can provide! They are probably experiencing a lot of fear and anxiety!

Also, the global situation has made food almost unattainable due to rising costs.

I suspect we can't even imagine their stress level. To some of these ladies that can be life-threatening.

 Perhaps some of you don't believe in prayer, but GOD DOES! So I ask you pray, please!
