Chuck & Terry Fernandez       Wamama Seminar & Village Evangelism   March 8, 2022       Each Landmark Baptist Church of Kenya and Uganda Sister Terry and I partner with on Mt. Elgon, the Kerio Valley and Lake Victoria are totally independent. However, one of the strengths of these New Testament Churches come from the fellowship they enjoy one with another. The fellowship which binds them together produces multiple blessings. One such blessing is continued Bible teachings to build them up in the faith as was the case of the latest Women's Seminar on Mt.Elgon. These Women love the Lord and the ones who are doing the teaching sat under and worked beside Sister Terry during our years in country. We generally support three to five seminars per year for the Women, the Youth and Pastors. This is the first time in nearly two years they been able to assemble due to CV-19 restrictions. In case your wondering how we support and encourage these meetings, we provide funds for transportation for messengers from each Church to attend and food for them during the seminar. We wish we could be with them to teach and encourage but we will not be returning until Kenya drops the vaccine mandate currently in place.     As you can see from the (above) picture, the seminar was hosted by the Landmark Baptist Church at Kipsigon. This was the first Church we planted on Mt. Elgon in 2008 after tribal clashes where over twelve hundred were slaughtered. It is worth noting that this Church has sent out many evangelists over the last forteen years to reach neighboring villages.     Women Teaching Women on Mt. Elgon Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; Tit 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, Tit 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.     Evangelism Update: 38 Saved at Chemusesi   While the women were in the seminar learning, their Husbands, (most of who are Pastors and or Evangeslists) traveled over thirty kilometers to the village of Chemusesi to preach the gospel. God blessed their efforts and they saw thirty eight villagers make professions of faith in Jesus Christ. To God be the glory! Their faithfulness to the gospel is inspiring and we know the angels of heaven are rejoicing. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.         Swahili Bible Needs     We currently have a good supply of Audio Bibles as Pastor Jamie Hogan and Denson Springs Missionary Baptist Church have provided funds for those but we continue to need hardback Swahili Bibles.
