Worship and edification :
Students continue to help by worshiping with the local congregations. These Students are helping me a lot and this allows me to plan my time to help each local church in the completion of their program. Each congregation has a program for door-to-door evangelism. People have a hard heart and do not want to convert but we always continue to talk to them and also pray for them.
We have particularly applied for the help of the Kpalime Training Center for Kara’s local church . The brethren of Kpalime came to help for door-to-door work. At the end, in a very good atmosphere, we baptized a woman and a man. With the efforts of some of our students, we also baptized a man for Kara local church and a woman for Tchitchao local church. The evangelization campaigns to help local churches are a source of motivation for brothers and sisters from local churches.
Campaigns : We have organized up from October to December two campaigns to help the local churches of Lassa and Tchintchinda. All those campaigns are very important to build step by step local congregations.
Practical work with Students : Once a month we organize this work with students to allow them to be in teachers in local congregations to practice theoretically.
Yearly Camp : This end-of-year Camp should be done in Kouka but it did not take place. Finally all efforts have been made to organize this Camp in Kara with a participation of about 70 people. The general Topic were: « Spiritual disciplines, spiritual release sources. »
We seize this favorable opportunity to wish you our best wishes of health, longevity. God bless you. May God protect you all during the year 2023.
In Christ,
Fidele.
