Dear Friends and Family,
I did go to Rwanda and Uganda. What a prosperous journey the Lord gave me. Thank you for your prayers. God granted safety, physical ability, wisdom and decisiveness just like many of you prayed. The radio equipment arrived safely and no duty was charged. It is being put into operation right now.
Sadock and I went to Kibungo and purchased the plot of land for the new church. The block making machine has been ordered. Frank will use the machine to support himself as he and Jackson start the new church. Jackson is presently in Kibungo looking for a job to support himself
On March 1st a container will be loaded with Christian literature for Rwanda and other East African countries. Last week Danny and Betty Webb from our home church delivered 25,000 New Testaments from B&L Missionary Foundation. Kathy and I picked up 24 cases of French Bibles and 24 cases of English Bibles from Beams. This week we will go back to B&L for more NT’s and booklets. Victory Baptist Press has printed 1 million Bridge picture tracts in 8 languages. Chick tracts has sent us 100,000 tracts. Many other tracts, books, John and Romans and other literature are being added. I could use some Wilmington’s Guide to the Bible for the English BI’s if you have one or more you would like to provide. Pray this literature will be used to evangelize and edify multitudes in East Africa.
Construction on new buildings are scheduled to begin in Cyangugu, Kigali and Ruhengiri in the next week or two. Sadock and Jean Claude will travel to Kibuye to look for a plot for a new church. Jean Claude is a student in the Kinyarwanda BI and will begin and start the church. He needs $150 per month to provide the basic needs for he and his family. He is married with five children. He will work repairing electronics to meet additional needs. Within two years we believe the new church will be able to provide for their needs.
Kathy and I want to thank you once again for partnering with us in this wonderful work of God. The Lord is putting together a work that will bring glory to Him. He has already provided the means to buy land in six of the ten targeted cities and build buildings in four of them. Let me encourage you to ask God to open your eyes that you might see what He sees and the way He sees. Please read 2 Kings 6:17
