Dears brothers and sisters,

We hope that you are doing well.

We were very glad to see Graham Toulmin during his last visit here in North-Kivu diocese and we rejoiced with the gifts you sent with him.

With the amount of $415 we bought 41 pieces of clothes which we distributed to the widows in different parishes. I will send some photos to you next time.

We are now planning to send 5 people to be trained in evangelism school for one year in Goma but we are financially very limited because the academic fees for one person is $400 a year. Our vision is to train
them and then after to send them to plant new churches in new areas within the diocese, The school will start on the 20th of September.

We need to share our needs and prayers with you because you are our partners in God's mission.
