RWANDA: Rev. Kimberly Wallace, Rev Stephen Adyeri and friend Eunice accompanied me to Rwanda. We arrived at the border just in time to be too late! Met a local pastor who took us a couple of miles into the 'bush' where around 12 saints followed us into the church. As we sang, more arrived and praised in the solitary oil lamp lighting and about 30 prayed for salvation at the end.

Sadiki with his two new grandchildren

Bishop Sadiki has been labouring there in Rwanda all this year missing his wife, Violette and family but collecting Jean-Claude from Congo and meeting daughter Harriet and husband Sudali and their new-born twins (see right)! He has been encouraging pastors as churches grow in numbers and pastors feel the strain of little income and much work. It was such a joy to meet up with Pastor David Palmer from Tavistock and share ministry around Rwanda. The church at Kayonza had collapsed after a prayer meeting and has now been replaced with 'walls' to accommodate 2,000 and ready for the roof to be fitted. $500 should put the roof on. Would you like to help?

We left David seeing the Holy Spirit moving joyfully across the people making his sermon obsolete! He was also a great inspiration at the meeting for reclaimed street-girls in Kigali.Sadiki needs his airfare to return home for a while, about £600.

KENYA:  My first call at end of June was to Bishop Bosco and family at Kayole church, Soweto, Nairobi. Bosco left a thriving work with several churches in N. Kenya at Bungoma to pioneer a new work in the dreadful slums of Soweto. In just a few years the Lord has honoured him with a large church and care of many others around the country. Rachel, his wife, works hard as a nurse to support the family so Bosco takes little resource from the church. His leaders are homeless so their rent comes from offerings.

It was such a joy to work with him again. We have great fun preaching together. Barbara from USA donated money to start a sewing shop for ladies. This was producing gowns for a wedding when I was there. The church floor gets flooded (2 ft!) in heavy rains so dear folk are working to raise the church. Bosco has been to Rwanda and Congo with us as we team together in support of the ministry in Central Africa. We are planning to start a clinic for the 50,000 without any medical aid there in the slums. Already an ambulance is waiting and supplies are stocking up at Tavistock. Another £6,000 will bring it into being and prayer for successful passage through beauracracy! Do pray for Bishop Bosco and his enthusiastic team as they battle with poverty and sickness to bring people into the love and provision of our Lord Jesus.

UGANDA: Pastor Stephen Adyeri really functions in what Christendom calls a bishop for he oversees and serves many churches. His work with Pastor Lenny Meyer of Oregon, USA prospers and blesses many in Uganda. He has proved such a blessing to us as we have tried to set up a base for the 'Great Lakes Africa Mission' in Fort Portal. He has played a vital role with police, attorneys, Municipal officials and other pastors as our attempts to buy a house have been opposed with deceit and greed. God has over-ruled so all this has resulted in that we shall probably finish with 2 houses, three plots of land and a small hotel for Safari holidays to raise funds for the mission. He lives in one of our houses now.

As I left Uganda Stephen went down in a vicious attack of malaria. We feared for his survival but now thank God he is up and well and leading a conference with other churches from the town about 'Spiritual Warfare'! Rob and Kimberly Wallace are ministering with him.He has also brought sense and protection as accusations have been brought against us. It sure is a battle! But our Captain always leads us in victory!
