Evagelism School Graduation 2nd Session 2017

The second session of the Evangelism School graduated on the 26th of November.  It is always a time of joy and sadness.  We are so happy that they are ready to return to their home areas to work to share hope in Jesus with the skills they have gained, but we are also sorry to see our friends leave.

The session started in July with 32 students, two of which came for the 4-weeks of health evangelism only.

Close to the end of the session, the remaining 30 health evangelism/lay evangelism school students went out on effort in two villages.  At those villages they conducted health expos, health outreach, and health teachings along with spiritual outreach.  At the village of Ludewa there were about 100 people attended the health expo and 57 at the village of Utiga.  The students helped many people with various health issues, including probably saving the life of one person who had been bitten by a poisonous snake.  The entire leg was swollen.  Through the use of charcoal and prayer, the person is able to walk again.  The challenges were many for the students at the two locations, lack of clean water being a serious one.

We praise the Lord that through these efforts, six people from each of the two villages (twelve total) accepted Jesus as their Savior and were baptized at the end of the efforts.    Thank you for all the mission partners out there that pray, encourage and support this work!

June 2017 Agriculture School Graduation

The Agriculture Schools graduation ceremony had many visitors including parents, government officials from several places, and even business people. We heard a wonderful testimony from one business man who previously hired a graduate from our school. He was asked by another business person about getting a very dependable worker. He allowed the friend to take our student. And now at our graduation, he was back to hire four more of our graduates. It was very encouraging to hear him talk about the faithfulness of our previous student, including always praying before going to work. It touched many deeply to know that these young people are making a difference when they leave this place. Another testimony was given by one of the parents. She talked about how many wonderful changes she had noticed in her son since he started coming to our school. God is working!

New Swahili Books – Selling out fast!

The new Swahili books that were just printed have been very well received. Some are already completely sold out within the very first month! The new books include Swahili versions of Steps to Christ (100,000) Victory in Christ, and a wonderful health booklet called You Turn by Dr. Diehl & Aileen Ludington.

We are printing our books in Poland at Springs of Life to ensure great quality and good prices. We have already placed re-orders on some of these books. In addition to this, we have five more books newly translated or updated that will be going to press very soon. Not only do these books offer great help physically and spiritually, in the back of every book is contact information if they want more books, free Bible studies or to talk to someone to get answers.

In the last several weeks, we have had a big surprise.  We now have a few places here and there where we can get faster internet through the local cellphone towers.

With this improved internet, we no longer have to drag our electronics to town in hopes of good internet and a few minutes to try to get internet work completed.

I hope to get many of the pages on our website updated in the near future.  I have already started and the Newsletter Page (under About US) is up-to-date with all the past newsletters!
