Dear Praying Friends and Co-laborers in Christ :

 Greetings to you in the Precious Name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!

 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you”(I Thessalonians 5:18).

 The LORD has been blessing our ministry with many souls being saved every week from different background, such as Voodoo, Moslem, Catholic, and the Church in Lome is growing.

However, at the very moment we are in desperate need of a larger place where we can build our church building, we are having opposition concerning our land. The LORD has provided the money and we purchased the land for Bread of Life Baptist Church in Lome where our ministry is based. We went through the normal process in purchasing the land with the advice of an attorney, but some members of the owner’s family are creating some problems. This opposition which is out of place has delayed the procedure of obtaining our legal documents. The devil is fighting us in different ways, but we have the confidence that the LORD will always give us the victory.

The LORD has been blessing our weekly radio ministry, and many people have been listening to the sound teaching of the Word of God. We have been receiving many phone calls, and some came to me at church or at home, testifying the blessing they have received from the teaching of the Word of God. Some folks have been deceived by charismatic unsound gospel preaching. Many people who listen to us testified that our teaching and preaching are Christ-centred and Biblical.

Concerning our Bible College ministry, we have made a lot of progress with the translation of courses in French language. We have been translating the Bible college courses we received from Carolina Bible College in Concord, North Carolina. Translation is a difficult task, but we thank God for giving us the opportunity to do it, and it is our prayer that these will be a blessing to other French speaking countries. We have about 32 students enrolled right now for evening and day classes.

Since January 2007 we had 116 people saved, just for our ministry in Lome. We thank God for the opportunities to preach the gospel to many people. God willing, in April, we will be starting a new church in the village of “Kpegnon” which is about 90 miles from Lome.

We are thankful to God for providing for our various needs: We thank God for providing the funds for the motorcycle that we will be using for the village of “Kpegnon”; and for the washing machine for Bella; for the 100 French Bibles we received from BEAMS.

We are entreating you:

-         To pray for the legal documents of the land we purchased for Bread of Life Baptist Church in Lome, and for our church building project.

-         To pray for the need of more French Bibles and gospel tracts.

-         To pray for the need of bicycles and motorcycles for our evangelistic ministry.

-         To pray for the need of a used car for our family.

-         To pray for the need of a video projector for our village evangelistic outreach.

-         To pray for our health and safety

 May you receive our thanks and regards in Christ Jesus!
