Rev Stephane MakataBunkeya is a safe place, trainees and trainers are already selected, they are wating only to be pecised on the date we will be starting. For the time being I'm trying to get ready for my journey if God wants, to Malemba again in order to make a follow up on the evolution on the work on peace building and reconciliation we have started.
So I need your prayers for that because where I'm going there is some insecurity here and there, and the cholera has broken out within the province of Katanga particularly: in Lubumbashi, Likasi, Kolwezi and Malemba Nkulu.
Here at the seat of the Diocese we have organized a reflexion together with the teaching departement on the theme: Is Evangelism possible within our schools? That is we gathered all the teachers and their wives, about 95 persons attend this reflexion.
My Diocese, my family send to you warm greetings without forgetting Rose, Pastor Gram and the Parish of Swac.
