LIFE CHANGING STORY – TITUS MUSENYA
Titus is an upcoming evangelist at Ololepo Baptist Church. Pastor Joel, who leads this church, shared with him the good news of Jesus Christ and he was converted and he prayed for him. Titus started coming to a church under a tree. One time Rev Okongo, who is president and founder of Unite 4 Africa visited this church and immediately noticed him and he started praying with him. Rev Okongo started to mentor him and pray with him. Rev Okongo noticed Titus passion to serve God at Church and in his community. Titus was doing manual jobs together with other young men, to fill sand to Lories. It was very tough but Titus had no option. In order for him to be able to help at church and do evangelism, Unite 4 Africa empowered him with a motorbike on July 13th, 2020. Titus life changed as he moved from manual job of filling lories with sand to using his motorbike as Taxi. He is able to help more with Church and can take care of his wife and his parents. Titus says, he is grateful to God and Rev Okongo as he was able to buy 15 goats and he uses the motorbike to do evangelism, fetch water for his family and use it for Taxi to generate income. This has greatly impacted Titus life, and he now one of community opinion leaders

BIBLES FOR MAASAI – OLOOSIYIAMALIL, PURKO
As the year 2021 began, the Maasai of Oloosiyiamalil have every reason to thank God for the provision of Maasai bibles. This is a purely Maasai community 54 kilometers from Mailtisa. Through Unite 4 Africa, Joyce Nott blessed us with bibles for the new converts. We were able to bring together 15 Churches from this area, with each sending 10 to receive the bibles. In total we gave out 222 Maasai Bibles. The Bible is what many have missed since many couldn’t afford or don’t even know how to get. Thank God for Unite 4 Africa that reaching into most remote part of the local communities, and many are now blessed with a bible.
