Greetings to all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are so grateful for the wonderful work that God has done in our nation. In the midst of struggles, setbacks and yes some disappointments, our hope in the gospel has never been greater. We believe, as a Church, that God has positioned us to do greater things in the coming year. We were blessed to have Pastor David Hamilton for three days of revival during the second half of the year.  It was power packed and many lives were healed, saved and changed by the power of God. I want to say that I'm so thankful for the headship in which God has given to me and the Church in Benin.  Without your prayers, direction, insight and correction we would be blowing in the wind.

Our vision for the coming year is simple: Continue the mandate of raising up disciples. God has given all of our churches, which are three: Vedoko, Calalvi and Gbodoe, who have a wonderful crop of young disciples who seek to be used by God.  

Secondly, to plant churches throughout our nation.  We are so appreciative of the wonderful move of God that is happening in Sierra Leone, for it gives our church hope for the future of our nation. Please continue to pray for the work and workers throughout Benin and we seek to lift up the name of Jesus in every village, town and hamlet of our nation.

Pastor Steve Zola Mapakou

Blessed be our Lord Jesus Christ who through the power of his word causes his Church to grow a little more each day in Burkina Faso. The Church is doing fine and keep on moving in revival so as to raise a new generation of leaders in this nation, capable of taking on the baton of ministry. The power of God is able to break Islamic and cultural challenges and even transform stony hearts. 

In 2016, we baptized ten people. Even though that seems small, it is a real encouragement for an Islamic nation, such as Burkina Faso. I have a dream of making flowers flourish in the desert. I see the opportunities of how God can reveal himself in this Islamic and traditional nation. 

Our vision and prayers for the year 2017 is to strengthen the new converts and a financial miracle so that at the end, our prosperity in other areas of the church will be seen and felt even as our soul prospers. I am very encouraged by the leadership of Pastor Warner and Pastor Smith. Thank you for your prayers and may God bless and fill you more. 

Pastor Vincent & Raymonde Deo

Greeting from Bujumbura-Burundi, where God has been good to us for another year. We have been busy here on the capital of the small country around the Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa. How time flies. Busy from the end of 2016, trouble in the middle but still strong. We have been ministering here in Burundi exactly seven years, after Peter Dore (three years). God has been faithfully bringing people into church, especially young men who train and disciple to do the work of the ministry.

The new year 2017 will be a year of more activities: continuously winning more souls for Christ by door to door outreaching, focusing in establish the couples, families and disciples to be a colon in the Church. Building a strong Church in faith for JESUS. For that, we plan to have four times for Revival:

-February, Pastor from Kigali, Rwanda

-May, Pastor from Kenya

-August, Pastor from  Zambia

-November, Pastor from Tanzania

We also believe God for our own land and our own church building and why not, make Burundi a conference center. We are presently in need of a church: plant a baby Church. It is a very desperate need and we believe God for a miracle. Hey, the Church is pregnant, I think that they are twins ( Two news Baby Churches for  this 2017). God has a couple ready in the church for ministry.

In spite of limitations of the government not to evangelize in streets, we shall continue our visits in the camps of refugees, and also the preaching’s in prisons. Pray for breakthrough at the level of finance of the Church of Burundi, Because we pass a difficult time financially. We give all the glory to our God for his wonderful blessing and grace. We take also this opportunity to say thank to Pastor Warner, his Wife Mona and the Tucson congregation for the great support and Pastor Alvin smith and Into–Africa for their support and for  upholding us in prayer. Please continue praying for Burundi for revival.

Pastor Juma & Flavia Numb

Our outreach churches are all growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Our street ministries are thriving as our entire congregation mobilizes to reach those who are lost. We are believing God for open doors in our building situation here in Cameroon.  We have been renting ever since the church has been established.  Please pray with us that God gives us supernatural favor with land owners in which we will be able to secure property at a reasonable cost. As the pastor of the Church here in Cameroon, I cannot tell you how full my heart becomes when I think about the investment that has been made into the life of this Church. The Tucson and Suisan Congregations have poured their love and finances into this work.  

Thank you for the leadership that you bring and the faith that you have in us. By His grace the best is yet to come!

Martin & Rachel Bouna
