You cause angels to sing

The Congolese present flowers from the forest to those being baptized as a sign that they are joining in with the angels in heaven who are celebrating and rejoicing during this event.
You make it possible for church planters to visit villages like Ilakala bringing hope and new life in the midst of a war-torn country and people in bondage to superstitions.
Only four months ago, Shabani found new life in Christ in Ilakala. Since that time, bringing others to the freedom he found has been his life. He has reached 37 homes and started a fully functioning 'church under the trees,' for these new believers. You helped bring the Gospel of life to this village!

A special ‘thank you’ for the difference you make

Brooks wrote this post during our last trip which expresses so well how much your participation in prayers and words make a difference in reaching, helping, and lifting leaders throughout Africa:

As I write, sitting on our bed, mosquito net hanging down, I listen to the bleating of a goat, no doubt missing it's mom, and a thousand crickets chirping the night away. Massive Lake Kivu sits proudly a short distance away dividing Rwanda from DR Congo. Feeling small and insignificant in a continent of turmoil and distrust, I am once again reminded of the greatness of our God. As David declared, "I look at the heavens and know that you are there … and who could deny it?"

Friends before leaving told us things they felt the spirit of God saying. Using words like structure and breakthrough and tree top vision…

"You will see deeply imbedded foundations of evil (strongholds) breaking up and opening the way for deeper more enduring levels of ministry. It will occur in the lives of leaders (behaviors/mind sets etc.) and in area structures (leaders/power bases etc.) that have hindered in previous ministry efforts."

As we travel through Africa, I can confidently say, these words are becoming reality.

We are blessed, encouraged, and strengthened by your care, prayers, and words that travel with us! Thank you!

Blessings and Love,
Roger & Brooks
