News from Ise-Somo -- 20 April 2004 bulletin
Ise writes:
"Greetings from the D R Congo and especially from my self and the family.
"Thank you very much for your prayers for us. In October we had a reunion of all diocesan coordinators of Evangelism in Bukavu for 5 days. It was a very good opportunity for us to meet together after a long time of war. We planned together the work for 3 years 2003-2005. It was also a good occasion to tell the diocesan coordinators about Brass 4 Africa and what BFA is doing for them and particularly for the work of the gospel in our country. Each one of them was surprised to receive $ 210 from bfa as an encouragement for 6 months

"In late October, I travelled around the North-Kivu Diocese, preaching about reconciliation and also visiting displaced peoples and giving them something from Anglicare in Sydney Diocese."
