I am so excited to have the internet working finally. I have posted the last 2 postings if you want to catch up on what we have been doing.

Today was the Pastor's Conference and I can tell you once again how joy filled we all feel about it. There were over 100 Pastors there. Camille, Kasareka, and Michael preached on Nehemiah, on facing Opposition, and on Mobilizing your Congregation. We shared the Vision to raise up the Sons of Congo and have breakout sessions and brainstorming on how we can successfully do that. I must share that while Pastor Kasareka started passionately sharing it began to rain. Most of the roofs here are tin, and the windows have no glass, the rain got louder and louder, and Kasareka, God bless him had to yell louder and louder, we immediately brought all the men close to him in a tight circle and continued but the rain got louder and louder....Michael and Patrick ran home and got a megaphone and that is how we continued through the storm. It was amazing. All the sharing etc happeneed shouting through a megaphone. This mean afterwards told us how touched they were. How much they needed this training. Many of them did not know the story of Nehemiah. Many of them were encouraged to begin thinking dreaming of how to reach men in their churches. These pastors have so few resources and training opportunities if at all. God bless them each one. Tonight we had a lively dinner with The Lucy's founder of HealAfrica. So good to visit with them and hear their thoughts. God bless them too. Well Camille turned of the generator and now our lights are dim again. It is time to sleep. Next week 10 am we meet with Mucombozie's ministry team to share more. Pastor Kasareka is singing "Yes Jesus Loves me, Yes Jesus Loves me." I've noticed he sings when he is happy. and He sees the Lord is working. We all do. Jesus Loves us.

Good Night.
