Subject: Re: support a pastor transfer via western union
Dear Mama Wendy
It is amazing to receive your two messages now and i am very very glad for the transfer of the adopt-a-pastor money. I was not expecting to that because i thaugh that people have stoped to contribute for this project. God is realy great. Thank you also for having started to plan for our next visit in Australia again.
[ISE IS REFERING TO THE PASTOR WHO WAS MURDERED LAST YEAR - HE WAS ONE OF OUR "SUPPORT A PASTOR" PASTORS]
About Kanga-za-Bukanga's family, they are in Kindu without any assistance and i hope that this money will help them again. I am planing to send someone from Kindu to be trained in Goma next september for 10 months in Evangelism and after his training he will replace Kanga-za- Bukanga.
I will like to send 4 people again from Kindu, Aru,Mbujimayi and Butembo. But it will depend on the finacial possibilities because i am still having a problem of transport for the 4 who are ending their studies in Goma next june. There is a need of $1230 to complete their return fees to their dioceses( Boga,Kisangani,Kinshasa and Lubumbashi ) The other news is that after the distribution of goods at Kirumba-Kanyabayonga, the chief of that city and his population asked for the Anglican church to be implanted there, i went to repport to the bishop and his staff ,they said that they can send a pastor there but there is a problem of renting the house for him and also the means of life to him and the family.
About the work of the pastors who are supported by BFA,i think that they are doing well because i am receiving repports from their dioceses and i am seeing what those who are here in Butembo diocese are doing. Anyway i will make sure next july and august because i will go arround all dioceses for the training seminars of school chaplains and it will be a good occasion to see how the work is going in each diocese.
Greetings to all our friends in there.

Dear maman Wendy
Thank you very much for the information about the demarches you are doing for peace processus in our country and i thank also Kerry B. for his contribution.
The situation in Kanyabayonga is now geting better and people are now passing through there going to Goma from Butembo. And we know very well that this is not from our local efforts but also from other countries like Australia.
I wont also to use this opportunity to let you know that last week we had a national meeting on medical service in the Anglican church of Congo in Beni organized by Baliesima under the support of Tear Fund U.K. People from different dioceses were present and i used that opportunity to send the money of adopt-a-pastor to the dioceses. thanks and God bless.

Thank you very much for your prayers.
Since the 3th to the 9th of this month, i was out of the DRC, I have been invited by the Church of Uganda in Kasese diocese at Bwera archdeaconry where Ivan Sibilondire is the actuel Archdeacon. I was the guest speacker to the convetion of more than 3000 people. I had to speack 3 times each day. We thank God because the result was good. 359 people decided to receive Jesus Christ as their personel Saviour and Lord and 287repented from their wrong ways. Ivan is sending greetings to you. Next week we will go to Lubero, Kipese and Kyambogho for doing seminars among christians with the Archdeacon .And in june i will go to Goma to meet the four diocesan coordinators who will be finishing their studies and go back to their dioceses.
