Kenya Uganda Mission Development +++ 2021 A Year In Review

 

Kenya Uganda Mission Development 2021 A Year In Review

 

December 27, 2021

 

 

The Churches we partner with in East Africa continue to demonstrate their love for Christ and a great burden for their lost kinsmen. They clearly understand their responsibility in the Great Commission given by our Lord and Savior. It does our hearts good to see the early Churches we help establish continue to send out Evangelist's to reach neighboring villages, tribes and countries. The numbers bear witness of an amazing work the Lord is doing through these young Churches that closely resemble what we see by the Lord's disciples in the book of Acts. Sis. Terry and I help establish 16 New Testament Churches while full time residents of Kenya and now those Churches have multiplied to over sixty. The three primary regions of Kenya and Uganda we work in is the Mt. Elgon region, the Kerio Valley and Lake Victoria. To God be the glory great things He hath done! Over the course of 2021 their weekly evangelism efforts have led 7,238 souls to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. They were able to baptize 2,384 of their new coverts and unite them with the Local New Testament Church. Praise the Lord! Please Note the details at the close of this report and please continue to pray for these young Churches as they obey the commands of Christ by sending out evangelists two by two in 2022. Mark 6:7a And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two.

 

New Villages Reached

 

These three pictures are of Landmark Baptist Evangelists preaching the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ in three new villages. The villages are located in the Mt. Elgon region and are as follows: Kapkerwa, Nakoba and Moding which is located in an area known as Teso Land. The LBC Evangelist's will continue to teach these new converts and baptize them in the near future. Please pray for these dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ and consider their needs of God called Pastors, Bibles, Tents to meet under and eventually a permanent Sanctuary. If you are interested in partnering with us in 2022 to help encourage these new believers and eventual Churches, please contact me at: missionaryfernandez@gmail.com or call me at 352-277-1753.

New Pokot Converts Baptized in the Kerio Valley   Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen

 

Providing God's Word

 

Through our faithful ministry partners, in 2021 we were able provide hundreds of solar audio Bibles in the Swahili, Pokot and Karamojong languages. Additionally we provided hundreds of hardback Swahili Bibles along with John and Romans for the Evangelists to use during village evangelism. People are starving for the Word of God in Kenya and Uganda. We will continue to do our best by the grace of God to provide them with His Holy word to help them know Him and grow thereby. Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.                        2021 SANCTUARY CONSTRUCTION

As you can see from the above and below pics, we are providing resources needed to put a permanent roof over the heads of God's people in East Africa. The below picture is the thirty seventh sanctuary we have help construct at the Landmark Baptist Church of Siaya which is located near Lake Victoria. Pastor George and His faithful congregation have been using rented rooms and a tent for the last seven years. For around six thousand dollars, your Church could partner with one of these New Testament Churches in East Africa as a Mission Giving project in 2022 as Pastor John Mix and His congregation at First Baptist Church of Kingstowne did at Siaya (below) in 2021. God is able!

 

Indigenous Sanctuary   The (ABOVE) picture brings us great joy for many reasons. These men are members of one of he newest Landmark Baptist Churches on Mt.Elgon at Chalicha. It encouraging as they are not waiting for the "Missionary" to supply their needs but rather are giving sacrificially to build an indigenous Sanctuary. It speaks of love and obedience to Christ while doing what they can do for His Church. These types of events remind us, it is truly a work of God. Neh. 2:18And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

 

Over the last year we have done our best to provide tents for six newly organized Churches to meet under. Last year we provided many replacement tops as the tarps deteriorate. It is our constant prayer that God will continue to provide the physical needs of these new believers and Churches as well as their spiritual needs.
