In late November our seventeen church planters gathered for a special training session in    which the topics of self support, more effective evangelism, natural remedies, etc were presented. This was a great help and encouragement to them and at the close we gave them clothing, Bibles, seeds, mosquito nets, and other tools to help them in their work. The people of the DRC, through no fault of their own, have descended to such depths of degradation and ignorance, that it is only with the utmost effort and God’s abundant grace that they can be raised up to a higher standard of faith and living. Please pray for our church planters that through the mighty agency of the Holy Spirit, they can lift people out of “the pit” and deliver them from their degrading heathen customs. 

When the Konga family arrived for the training session with their one year old twin girls Zipora and Marta, they were deathly ill with malaria. We treated them with the medicine we use for malaria but to no avail. In the hospital Marta was treated twice with a quinine drip and by God’s grace the second treatment finally knocked the malaria out of her system.  PTL.
