Ministry Goals

In the last 3 years, our focus has been Kinshasa, the capital city. We have been already preparing to go out into the provinces of the DRC. We are training "ministers" who will be able to go out and help launch ministries.
In July by the grace of God, we will be in the provinces of Bas-Congo, and Bandundu. Prayerfully by the end of this year, we will have planted churches in those provinces.
Last month, we encountered some problems with our landlord (church). We have to leave his property in exactly one year. We saw in this the opportunity for the ministry to go to the next level. We want to buy a property and start building the church. It is a very bold project, but we thought maybe the bible is right when it says....nothing is too hard for God (Jeremiah 32.27).
We are asking our Congolese friends everywhere in the world, if you have a property in Kinshasa, that can be used to build a church, please consider a rent-to-own deal with us. Truly God has need of it.
Finally in our short term goals and projects, comes one that is very important for us, and actually for the survival of the mission in the Congo. Some very needed rest and relaxation time for the family. We need a vacation! The ministry requires for us to give more, but we feel that there is very little left to give. So we are planning to sell our Toyota Land Cruiser (Prado) for the trip to the USA. Please pray for this, we have a buyer, but he is having difficulties getting the money that is needed to purchase the vehicle. We decided to not wait for him anymore, please pray that the vehicle will sell.
Then we have to think about our stay in the US. We need a host home, if not host homes. During our time in the US, we plan to have fundraisers. Please help us organize them. I am planning, also, to work in our time there to pay for our expenses in the US, we need help finding temporary work.
We are truly excited for what God is doing here in the Congo. The opportunity to come and share with you in the US is just wonderful. Please join us in the efforts to reach out to people of the Congo, we believe that God will bless you for your prayers, support, and encouragements.
In Him,
Jean
