The church is embracing the rains, despite its heavy down pour. Tanoe reported that since he moved to the village about five months ago things are beginning to happen. He has found three men of peace and the people themselves have constructed a temporary place of worship on their own as seen from this photo. For the first time, he reports that the place of worship is embracing the heavy down pour of rain without making an SOS call to Dakar. He said the members saw the need and prior to the raining season. Therefore they got together and contributed their labor, material, and funds and renovated the church. He said that he is amazed with the cooperation and support that he is getting from the congregation. His prayer now is to raised up a leader through the CPM pyramid so that he will move on. He is currently living with one of his man of peace in the village. He has found three man of peace. The amazing thing according to him, is that three man of peace was found in the same week.

Please Pray for the wife of Pastor Tanoe of the Ivory Coast. She has been hospitalized. She is suffering from cancer in the breast. This was brought to our attention two years ago. The situation is very serious. Pastor Tanoe has now left the village and returned to the capital to attend after his sick wife

MBAH: In December of 2006, we reported that Pastor Adjake of Mbah left his wife in charge of the church, which mostly comprises of teenagers and moved out to another village in search of a man of peace.

Pastor Ajake says everything has worked well except finding a man of peace and starting a church. According to him, he is loved and known as one of the many small businessmen who provide basic commodities for the villages. His new career puts him in position to meet and discuss with a variety of people on what they would need to buy on market day. It is a day set by the villagers, when the entire village will meet to buy or sell whatever commodity or produce they might have. (Market day is once a week.) There are no stores or shops where items can easily be purchased. Commodities are brought in from the city or far away towns. Everyone in the village meet on this day to buy or sell. If you did not purchase a basic item during this time you will have to wait the following week market day to do so. Therefore everyone made sure that their basic needs were available during “market day”. Therefore they would inform traders like Ajake in advance what they need the coming Market Day. So Adjake had the opportunity of meeting a lot of people.

It has been a little over seven months since he left his family and started his new career in search of his man of peace. He says the business aspect and the relationship building is paying off and very effective, but he has not been successful in finding a man of peace. He is expected to return to Mbad by the end of this month to pray and consider another village and strategy.

Repair work on DONE Building in Dakar has come to a stand still after payment for the work done in phases one and two was made. The Ministry and the contractors took the decision to suspend the work until a fix date can be agreed upon for final payment when work is completed. Meanwhile work on the second and third floors is completed and both the Ba’s and the Browne’s have been relocated back into the building.

Joel has vowed to remain a Christian and to tell relatives, friends and everyone she meets about the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, despite family rejection and declaring her an infidel, a frustrated lady and one who does not have hope.
Joel says despite of all the ill threat and persecution from relatives, she still loves them. According to her, they are her family and nothing will ever change it.

Immediately after she was baptized, Joel fled the city for the village (name withheld) because of continuous harassment and pressure from family members and friends. From the village, Joel now reports that the Lord is working through her to His glory and many are getting to be saved through her testimony.

After several exchange of emails and telephone conversation between Dakar and the church leadership in Conakry giving reasons why Pastor Mara had to disguise himself as a bus conductor, tension in the village and the church has calmed down. They were made to further under that Pastor Mara action was more of a strategy than him trying to look for a job and not only was Dakar aware, but Dakar had approve the strategy as the new method for planting or starting a new church. It was also agreed that the leadership will visit Conakry soon to explain the process and to apologize to the congregation for what ever manner they might have been offended by the action of Pastor Mara in implementing the CPM.

Pastor Mara has returned to his village and is now reunited with his family. He was escorted by his Muslim man of peace who hired him as the bus conductor. The lady who recognized Pastor Mara and started all this trouble has apologized to him and the church for all the problems and embarrassment she caused the church, especially Pastor Mara, whom she call of sorts of names. She prayed that Pastor Mara and his family will find it in their hearts to forgive her.

Doris Ba was able to stop in Burkina Faso as you took her two high school children to a new school in Ghana. She is sharing some study bibles she took with her. She writes that despite Satan’s attacks of accusations that our ministry is a Sect, Pastor Moumouni is shepherding the flock with grace and strength provided by God himself. Mrs. Moumouni is very ill, with diabetes and she just gave birth to a baby girl. She needs our prayers. While there Doris was able to encourage a new believer who had just given his life to God. His wife abandoned her home and this caused him to backslide and lose hope. She encouraged him and his daughter and gave them a study Bible as a gift. Pastor Moumouni will do the follow up. He also writes of how God is using him with his man of peace (name withheld). He meets with him and his wife and family very Wednesday to study the Bible. He also has brought in a friend who is voodoo doctor who had been favored by a grand uncle who was a voodoo doctor. He is studying in privacy with this family. Pray that God works in his life for a complete commitment to Jesus.
