Blessed Happy New Year, Blog Readers!\u00a0 Welcome to our site!\u00a0 With this New Year our hope is to keep you better informed of our life and ministry in Congo so that you’ll know better how to pray for us.
\nThank you for your prayers!<\/strong>
\nSunday, January 1st, we joined our Congo Covenant Church folks in the Gemena\/Bokonzo Church for a 5 hour service of praise to God for all His blessings in 2011.\u00a0 Over 1,500 were in attendance for a wonderful celebration!
\nLooking ahead-there are MANY exciting things on our calendar for the coming year ie. Tim-continuing discipleship of men, Helen-beginning to teach English at the Ubangi Protestant University, hosting visitors from WA, CA, IL, possibly Canada as we facilitate several projects (More on that later!)
\nPraise God – Though we are a lot slower now than when we started here 30+ years ago, we continue to see God working in and through us….to HIM be the glory!
\nGod bless you as you continue to partner with us to help others know the Savior and build up those who are ‘young in their faith’.<\/p>\n
