Dedication, Celebration and Summary for 2012 Year End

2012 Summary

We give God all the praise, all the honor and all the glory for the great things He hath done in the name of Jesus.
We also want to thank all those who have stood with us both
prayerfully and financially.
Through your sacrificial giving we have seen hundreds profess Christ as Lord and Savior as well as many New Testament Churches planted on Mt. Elgon, Lake Victoria and the Kerio Valley.
Thank you for celebrating with us when we were on the mountain top and thank you for encouraging us to press forward and lifting us up
when we were in the valley.

Philippians 1:3 “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.”

Bro. Chuck & Sis. Terry Fernandez

923 Professions of Faith

                Through numerous evangelistic efforts and outreach

campaigns we have seen over nine hundred receive Christ by faith during 2012.

Our efforts continue to be concentrated in the Kerio Valley, the Mt. Elgon region and Lake Victoria. This year we were also able to reach interior regions of the Manafwa and Aduot Districts of Uganda where we saw sixty seven Ugandan’s make professions of faith.

God has assembled a great team of people who have a vision and a burden to reach the lost as commanded by our Lord and Savior. 

This compound factor has allowed us to experience a record harvest of souls within a twelve month period.  

We believe and practice one on one and house to house evangelism and have taught this method of fishing for men to our Pastors and their congregations who are regularly preaching the gospel in their villages.  

Please pray for these new converts as we try to disciple and mentor them by teaching them the

Word of God.

" GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS!"

346 Baptized

Over the last year we have seen three hundred and forty~six new converts follow Jesus in scriptural baptism. It is always a great joy to see these new believers make their faith known through this public profession as they start to walk in the newness of life.

It is important to us that these young converts are baptized into one of the 12 local New Testament Churches that we have planted so they can be discipled and continue to grow in their faith.

"Buried in the likeness of His death and raised in the likeness of His resurrection."

"Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

4 New Churches OrganizedWe organized three new Churches on Mt. Elgon and one new Church near the River Nzoia during 2012 and we are currently in process of training God called National Pastors to shepherd these new believers. The churches organized include the Landmark Baptist Church of Chepkurukuru, the Landmark Baptist Church of Cheptandan, the Landmark Baptist church of Chemta and the Landmark Baptist Church of Soysambu.

While all of these new Churches are works in progress they have been taught the main doctrines of the Bible and they are now functioning as a body of scripturally baptized believers who have coveted together to keep the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ.  

The hope of Jesus Christ through His New Testament churches continues to be the hope of the world that is transforming one life at a time and one village at a time.

" And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved."

 

15 New OutreachesAs we look back on 2012, we stand in awe of all that God has accomplished and our ministry continues to expand with each one of our twelve churches having reached out to their neighboring villages.

There is not enough room to list all fifteen of these new villages, but make no mistake about it, we have been about our Father's business in Kenya and Uganda

"Ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."  

To God be the Glory! 

 

Ordinations, Seminars & Buildings

Over the last twelve months we ordained two national Pastors. Pastor Timothy Loquardo of the LBC Cheposabei in the Kerio Valley and Pastor Alex Kimti of the LBC Cheptabrubru on Mt. Elgon were ordained into the gospel ministry. We also held quarterly Pastors and Preachers seminars to help equip these men of God to fulfill their calling while Terry held six virtuous women seminars to teach the women how to profess Godliness and become better wives and mothers.

We also completed three new sanctuaries and currently have one more under construction. 

Thank You to all who pray for us and partner with us financially as we preach the gospel in Kenya and Uganda.
