March Update

This month I wanted to introduce you all to Pastor Simon Pierre Nadjilao who was recently chosen as the new leader of Grace Brethren Churches in the Central African Republic, replacing Mboi Andre who carried the responsibility for six years. Nadjilao served as Mboi’s secretary, so he has been well groomed for the job. He is a respected pastor of a growing church in Bangui and is also one of my English students.

Pray for Nadjilao as he assumes new responsibilities and that he will continue to have a servant heart.

We welcomed Mike Taylor, Dave Lewis and Dr. Sean Cannone on February 22nd and they will be here until March 1st.  On the 23rd we had a going away party for Wilfried Dengler with over twenty missionaries from the Bangui community coming to say good-bye and wish him well.  Wilfried has returned to Germany after a three year term and he already had a job interview scheduled.

Pray for Wilfried to find work, an apartment and vehicle as he settles back into life in Germany.

The beginning of this month when we didn’t have any guests the ladies were able to give the guest house a good cleaning and we had boards cut to fit each bed which gives the foam mattresses more support.  I’ve heard this has made the beds more comfortable.

Pray for Rosalie, Anne and Irma as they faithfully serve in the Guest House.

The month of March we have Pastor Steve Taylor and one other arriving from the Aiken GBC. They will be staying in our guest house on and off during their time here.  They will be working with Pastor Mboi Andre.  Then on the 21st we have a construction team of four coming from the Grace Polaris Church in Columbus.

Pray for the donated equipment to arrive with the team and for no hassles getting it through the airport and customs.

Last Monday I came down with malaria but I caught it fast enough and started taking a treatment that same night so I’m feeling much better now.

I appreciate your prayers for my health and I was able to get over malaria so quickly.

It’s a joy to serve Him in this ministry with you.
