MAILITISA

1. The Mailitisa water well project is continuing with the fixing of the water tank support structure underway. We are praying and hoping the project is completed soon, so as to allow the community access to the water. We thank God for the contactor who agreed to complete the structure and installations pending payment!

2. The Meshenani local church is located at the Amboseli gate. This church has been under a tree for seven years now and is being lead by an elder from the community. Rev. Moses is working with them and trying to get a pastor to lead them. Let’s be united in prayer for Meshenani Church so that God can provide a leader.

BUTERE

Pastor John Okello of Butere has been working hard with the new Church planted in Ebushibungo. The good news is that finally Ebushibungo has a Church building launched on 6 Jan. 2014! The Church members put up a building of 30 iron sheets and are hoping to raise more resources to have the walls covered.

Pastor John reports that 87 members were in attendance during the launch. Prior to the launch, between 1st and 5th Jan. 2014, they had a door to door evangelism reaching out to the community for Christ. The Church is excited and look forward to reaching out to many more for Christ.
