Spring 2021 Newsletter

There were many blessings in 2020, despite the world-wide pandemic. God’s work continued despite the sickness, government shutdowns, and the persecution of the church.

Our work in central Africa continued. When we were unable to send teachers for the annual conference and church visits in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo, we focused our efforts on the physical building of churches.

Dr. Floribert Kazingufu leads the association of approximately 40 churches throughout these countries as well as Tanzanian and Uganda. He reports:

God continues to be faithful to us and we see His hand moving mightily in Africa. Despite the coronavirus, this year has been a year of growth. Conversions, Baptisms, ordinations, and weddings are reported in all our churches in Burundi, DRC, Tanzania and Uganda as fruits of evangelism and discipleship.

Projects achieved over the past year:

• Purchased land for the church in Sangers, DRC

• Purchased land in Lemera, DRC

• Made bricks and started the church foundation in Lemera

• Purchased iron sheets for roofing for the church in Kasumbalesa, DRC

• Paid yearly rent and church support for Kigoma, Tanzania

• Church building support in Mutakura (The home church in Burundi)

Project goals for 2021

• Purchase properties for 5 churches to be build

• Purchase iron sheets for 5 churches

• Cover rent for some of the newer churches

August 2021

We are busily planning a trip to Africa! Our missionary-in-residence, Pastor Jacob Baker, will be returning along with a seminary student to teach at the annual conference, held for over 100 pastors and leaders. During that week, they will also have the opportunity to preach at nightly revival services where over 1,000 people will attend to see the mzungu (white men).
