Dear Brethren,
Greetings in the unconditional love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.” Phil.1:3 – 5 My family and I are all doing great in the Lord, and we are hoping that this email finds you and yours well.
We really thank you folks for standing alongside us as we proclaim the Gospel in Africa. Indeed, your perpetual prayers and financial support have been instrumental in propelling us to reach the unreached and to edify the found. Through this, our local assembly continues to grow spiritually and numerically – this month of February, we had five folks making professions of faith. Well done, and rest assured that “Together We are Reaching the World for Christ”.
We also thank God for the privilege of learning His Word as God has revealed Himself through the Scripture. We have continued to have classes going on at Pastor Peter Nilson’s house. What a blessing as six folks from our church are pursuing classes there (two ladies and four men), additionally, brother John and myself continue to pursue our second semester in Hebrew class as Dr. Ken Sheets from North Carolina continues to teach. It is indeed a great blessing as we search and see the truth as God revealed Himself through His expression. We are also trusting the Lord for Bible classrooms to be built at Tabernacle Baptist Church, to enable more willing students who have the desire to learn the truth to have sufficient room for training. Kindly pray for the construction of classrooms.
Fellow pastors in our young, upcoming Fellowship continue to be steadfast in their labor for Christ! Growth spiritually and numerically continue to be seen in their respective local assemblies, through their faithfulness and ability in representing God according to His expression (His Word). Keep praying with us that church planting spirit perpetuates so that we continue to reach the unreached for the cause of Christ.
The construction of our church building for Macedonia Baptist Church is on course. The contractor, his team of workers, and our engineer continue to labor diligently on the church building. Indeed, the progress of the work looks impressive and encouraging. We, indeed, owe you folks gratitude for your unwavering prayers and financial support that you have perpetually designated towards this building for God’s glory.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, folks, for stepping out by faith to support this noble project for Christ. You are indeed “fellow-helpers to the truth…3 John 8”. Right now, we have approached the roofing phase, however, our resources to enable us to provide for the steel bars, tin roof and other materials necessary for the roofing to be done have run out. We need $23,200 to work on the roofing which is really key for the completion of this building. As we pray for the provision, we know that faithful is He who started and faithful is He to accomplish. We continue to covet your prayers and appeal for your financial support to accomplish this construction. If the Lord leads your heart to support, kindly make your check payable to IGM 990 Calkins Road, Rochester, NY 14623
