Everything made by God is good and is to be used for His glory. If we use all things properly then God’s will is our wish, but if not, then we are against God’s will (1 John 2:15-17). Whatsoever things we do wish, should be centred upon biblical principles. Our wishes should be in line with God’s will and glory.God is always there for us. Christ throughout His life sought God’s will (John 6:38-40). not regarding what we consider suffering. We should do the same, knowing that God does not want us to perish (2 Peter 3:9-15).

My wife went for the operation; she had a swelling in her belly which troubled her much, but I thank God that my and your prayers to Him were granted. In my last letter I besought you to send me the programme of burying and a programme of praying for children. I begged you to call on us in order to teach us in a workshop. To all I say, do read Psalm 19:12 and, ‘Who are the Christadelphians’? Do read John 15:3-4 and also verse 12. Really love exists.
The Bible tells us that our yes should be yes and our no, no. We can only be thankful for the Truth, the faith is the Truth of things for the future, it is the reality of things that are unseen (Heb 11:1-5; 11:6).
I believe one day we shall be returning to our country, Congo. Hunger and need will vanish, and God will forgive us. We are still refugees.

Thanks to God I have this opportunity of writing you this letter, the main point of it is to inform you about the change of our Committee which took place . The new Committee is composed of three persons: Chairman, Muli Bin Etulo; Secretary: Iyendya Amsini; Treasurer, Akembe Albert. Please try to spread this message to others in Gospel News. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of God.
My uncle tried to persuade me many times to go to a church, named ‘Kasanga Fundi’. I did not like to go with him, but one day he was reading his Bible before going to church; when I heard what he was reading I appreciated really what he told me before was true. Because of hearing I was baptised and became a Bible believer. I am now secretary of CBM in Nyamigusu Camp.

We are very happy to write this letter to you because it is now many days without any communication. This has given me the time to explain the situation in which we are living and us to know your situation. I would like to receive your letters often and books of different kinds in order that I get to know God’s word. I am sure that you will hear us to that end.

Grace and peace be with you as always. I am very happy to read from Gospel News about Musoma news which was so good. One Brother from England called David Welch to whom I wrote a letter some three years back could remember me and the name of the children and managed to send a letter to me again which I received today. Is this not great? I will write back to him and I will ask him his email address.
Musoma is doing well and they need Bible reading planners (six if possible). Thank you for the used Bible. I am very happy to read the messages and how the dear Brethren are continuing helping some of the needy souls especially in the refugee camps. I recently went home to take the children back to school, they are all at school at the moment and I’m going to miss them again. I know I will have them again, God willing, when they vocate in August. There’s no problem in our ecclesia at the moment except they do ask most of the time about the ecclesial building, as so many people are interested to join but they don’t understand why we meet in the house. I’m very happy to read more news from Tanzania as it is one country where English is a problem. I really appreciate how some of the Brethren in Tanzania are having such courage to write good English for the readers and copies of the Dictionary are much appreciated..

I greet you in Jesus’ name and thanks for your letter which I received a few weeks ago, but I was miserable at your answer of not being able to let me have a mobile phone for I’m in great need of it.
I want to persuade you to represent my request.

We thank you for sending us copies of Gospel News for a long time. From reading them we have got a lot of encouragement for salvation and how to be ready for Jesus’ return soon. The ecclesia also thanks you for the books which you have sent and we also have need of the following books: ‘How To Grow A Balanced Diet’ and ‘Conservation Farming Methods’. These books will help us to grow some crops and to conserve soil.

I am still enjoying receiving Gospel News regularly and reading the news from the Brothers and Sisters worldwide. Here at Lugufu 1 ecclesia we enjoyed the visit from Bro Tim Evans and Sis Judith and family (from Southampton UK), Bro Thierry Kabangu (Arusha, Tanzania), and Bro Alinoti (Kigoma, Tanzania). We enjoyed the fellowship and we had a Breaking of Bread together. I send my article, ‘A Real Kingdom’ for Gospel News.

Thank you very much for your letter and the enclosed books Miracles by Bro John Bilello and Legalism vs Faith by Bror David Levin and for help in painting our Ecclesial hall, inside walls, all these things help our spiritual growth. We were once again happy to welcome a visit to our ecclesia from Bro Tim Evans and his family from Southampton, UK, accompanied by Bre Thiery Kabangu (Arusha) and Samuel Alinoti (Kigoma), Tanzania.
It was a great delight to have sweet fellowship together and we were comforted by the word of eternal life by Bro Tim while his wife, Sis Judith, dealt with our Sunday School scholars. We broke bread and drank wine in remembrance of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ in our ecclesial hall combined with the Lugufu 2 ecclesial members. We do thank the CBM for the gift of a bicycle for ecclesial use and other help. On the same occasion we were pleased to receive Bro Innocent Baruani E’Engele from Nairobi ecclesia, Kenya as a visitor to our Ecclesia and we thank him for the word of exhortation. Visiting Brethren and Sisters are especially welcomed to strengthen us in the Truth.
