Greetings from Luanshya!
We start this week's update with a sad story. The 28-year-old daughter of a man in Fellowship Chapel passed away last Saturday. She apparently attempted to induce an abortion by taking an overdose of a very powerful antibiotic. She had already given birth to four children by several other men, but had never been married. The father of the unborn child called her his wife, but he did not marry her and has no consistent means of income. The young woman's father said he had tried to talk with his daughter about the Lord and she had attended services at the Chapel in the past, but her lifestyle "got in the way" of any attempt to bring her to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for "ES" as he deals with this loss and the raising of his four grandchildren.
In Mukolwe the work of breaking the very large anthill has been completed and the work to make 6,000 bricks is about o begin. The Mobile Mission Maintenance Vocational Training Centre will bring the brick-making machine to the site this week and the men are preparing to spend 6 days straight - dawn to dusk - making bricks. They must "cure" for seven days then the walls of the new sanctuary will begin to go up. The entire village is excited about this new assembly of believers. News of the "What the Bible Says" teaching is spreading to neighbouring villages. The new area of ministry 45 minutes further from Mukolwe at Kafubu Dam is expanding as more and more people come to hear the difference between denominationally centered teaching and the Bible. As God opens doors we continue to see Him bless.
We have a special prayer request. In just twelve day we will be conducting our Vacation Bible School. Our volunteer "army" is making preparations for music, games, crafts and Bible studies to reach the children in our community as well as their parents. Please make this a matter of prayer. It is the first time we have done this on the camps of the Fellowship Chapel. We are excited about this ministry!
We deeply appreciate your love and prayers on our behalf!
In His Service,
