Good morning! I want to update you on where we are with the church. The building itself is up!! Much more is needed such as doors, windows, plaster, paint, and much more. But the structure and roof are together and they are holding Sunday worship there. We have already had the opportunity to love on and minister through so many in that area. Even those who go to other churches in the area. It’s a beautiful thing!! It’s God at work. 

The chief of the village, who attends another denomination church in the area, came to Biziwick demanding some compensation. He was telling authorities that we bought the land and built the church with out consulting with him and he was requesting money from us. Which was a lie because we received his blessing and on our last trip gave him a bible and tie. We soon came to find out jealously had reared its ugly head! Biziwick, Violet, and the church members (including all the children) went to the Chiefs home to see what it was he was asking for. Biziwick said even the children were steadfast and did not scare when approaching the chief. The chief shamefully admitted that he was jealous because his church was not as big as ours and asked for forgiveness. We immediately granted forgiveness and also blessed him with some food money. Biziwick let him know that God is the same BIG for all of us!! And that we are all on the same team!! Hearts displayed for Jesus!! 

Here are some latest pictures of the church at this point. There are still many needs and food is always a great need. I know for some it may not make sense to help so far away but what’s a soul for Jesus if it’s next door or half a world away?? Love looks like something!! When we meet a need they meet Jesus!! 

Love and Blessings!!!!
