Alex the great

Pastor Alex had an idea. As he sat in his office in Bombo, a small town north of Kampala in Uganda, he felt his congregation should start a new church.

In fact, that year they started 4 new churches.

Their method was like the iceberg I saw in Newfoundland this week. Most of what counted was beneath the surface.

How does this translate into Canadian culture? Sarah, our daughter-in-law, tells how her home group visited a single mom, and in a little over 2 hours repaired floors, painted the unpainted, cleaned windows…..and showed the love of Jesus.

Please remember him, and others, as they prepare for next week’s next seminar in Bombo. God bless.

Kola. Baka, Efe. Nsua, Mbuti. These are some of the pygmy tribes in Central Africa. These are also some of the tribal groups we want to reach, by training African missionaries to go and live with them.

They have suffered over the years. The Greek, Homer, talked about them. They were called pygmaei by the Greeks. They average less than four feet, eleven inches tall.  They have been victimized over the centuries, especially during the civil war in the Congo a few years ago, where they were hunted and cannibalized.

As we prepare for another missions training seminar in Uganda, starting May 4, we are encouraged that pygmy groups speak the dialects of their non-pygmy neighbours – they have no language of their own.

Thank you for helping us train them to assist the pygmies in Central Africa. God bless.
