Dear brothers in the Lord

Thank you very much for your prayers.

I left home on october 6th to Kasese--Uganda for a gospel crusade in Bwera town where 3000 people gathered. Everyday before noon we had to preach in hospitals,schools,prisons and individual houses and then from 2 p.m we had an open air preaching. Many people repented and came to the Lord and received him us their Saviour and Lord. Because i had another work to do i left on wednesday, i went back to DRCongo ,and the same day afternoon i flew from Beni to Goma. On friday morning we took the very dangerous road from Goma to Rutshuru with my friend Baliesima to visit the displaced people, preach the gospel to them and then distribute the food to 1500 families.Then we left there yesterday and we arrived safely home yesterday. I am leaving again tomorrow for another conference in Lubero untill saturday.

So , many thanks for your support in prayers.

Pastor Isesomo.

 


News from Rev Stephane Makata

Rev Stephane Makata from the DRC Anglican diocese of Katanga, reports on evangelism training at a mobile school in Kapolowe Village in southern DRC. Kapolowe is about 100 km north of Lumbumbashi on the Zambian border.

Pasteur Makata led a team of three to train 11 catechists and 14 evangelists at the school. The local bishop Kasima Muno Corneille visited and encouraged the trainees during the school.

The trainees evangelised 53 people in Kapolewe Village, and two neighbouring villages.

Trainees were given Bibles as a tool for their future work. Yet they still need bicycles for transport.
