Burundi and Congo Adventure
Bro Benoit Mukendi of the West Toronto Canadian Ecclesia made an extensive visit to some ecclesias supported by a team of brethren, John Epembwe, Joseph Lwitela, Swedi M’Mende, Denis Mpawenayo, as well as other local members. Sometimes they divided into smaller groups and visited in all ten ecclesias, exhorting, and encouraging them, resulting in twenty two baptisms in five different ecclesias.
It is not generally appreciated the extent to which the work has expanded in these areas and the numerous photos give a favourable impression of the lively community of brethren and sisters there.
Several languages are spoken but many understand French and the CAT translation of the French NEV New Testaments, together with a mini commentary on every page and the summary of Bible Basics at the back, make it an important preaching tool wherever French is understood.
