DEAR PARTNERS, we greet you in the name of our LORD SAVIOR JESUS. We thank you for everything you do for us in order to advance the work of our LORD.
WE have been the object of violence recently, in my village while we were there. It was October 31st during the elections, my village was attacked and burned down by them, everything went up in smoke as well as 4 charred parents. It is a difficult journey for my parents and I who do not know where to go and what to do because the socio-political situation which is dear to us is tense but the LORD gave us grace. We can only sing his praises through this Psalm.
Psalm 106: 1-2 “Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?”
Your prayers and support will help us in these difficult times. Thank you
MORAL REPORT
Indeed, we were facing many trials and difficulties even before the pandemic situation. They got worse, but we continued to believe in the faithfulness of God who entrusted us with His work here on earth. Thus, the coronavirus being an unforeseen situation and common to all social strata, sparing no area of life, has really affected us and continues to affect us precisely in the financial field. THE consequences are disastrous both in the church, in my family and entire families since some work in the private sector and others have their own small businesses. Due to the confinement, the financial means are therefore lacking to revive the activities which are the main sources of income for entire families and some in the private sector have no longer found their way to work. Unfortunately, the economy was used to provide food during the entire period of confinement, so the studies of many students and pupils are threatened for lack of funds and we have cases in the church that we are trying to help. SO your prayers and your supports will be able to help the brothers thank you.
SPIRITUAL REPORT
the work is going well on the whole and we have 45 adults and 67 children. Only that, we meet some difficulties which are for us challenges to be met with the help of our LORD and those thanks to your prayers.
URGENT CHALLENGE, it is our place of worship which is a garage and which must be rehabilitated and enlarged because the place is very small (5 / 3.80m) and the roof is really dilapidated, especially in rainy weather. The number of people is growing because we had made our home a welcoming place. By your prayers and your supports and the grace of GOD, we will achieve it.
The SECOND CHALLENGE is the Children’s Day which will take place on December 24th, we would need funds and gifts to make the children happy.
FINALLY, the biggest challenge is the acquisition of the land of the Church which remains the major challenge.
Your prayers and support will help us to solve all of his challenges by the grace of the LORD.
FAMILY NEWS
My family is fine and the people we welcome are doing well as the Lord honors us, but MY wife still has the same health problem and is due for surgery, but due to lack of funds we wait and believe at the right time.
Psalm 116:1-6 “I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought
low, and he helped me.”
May GOD remember you and eradicate this covid-19 disease in your home and nation.
Cordially, Your Servant,
KOUAME PACOME
