 Kenya/Uganda/10-40 Mission Development

              2022 A Year In Review

January 2, 2023

Let me preface this year-end report by saying, “To God be the Glory, Great things He hath done”.   Let me also say Thank you to all of you who faithfully support the Great Commission centered work Sis. Terry and I do in East Africa as well as Florida through your prayers and finances.  God is using the joint efforts of our Mission support team to see thousands saved, baptized, discipled and New Testament Churches organized.   Looking back at 2022 in review can be somewhat overwhelming as a result of the sheer numbers of Churches, outreaches & Bible Studies we partner with in different regions now spanning into three countries now.   Looking back at 2022 also produces great joy to see our East African brethren obey the commands of our Savior out of heart of love for Him.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Over the course of 2022, weekly evangelism efforts have led 10,756 souls to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. They were able to baptize 3,227 of their new coverts and unite them with the Local New Testament Church. Praise the Lord! Some of the first generation Churches have planted dozens of new Churches. 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   2022 saw Landmark Baptist Evangelists preaching the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ in ten new villages. The villages are located in the Mt. Elgon region and the Uganda side of the Kerio Valley. Bible studies have been established in Makusaelwa were 90 folks have been saved, Misemwa where 107 have been saved, Serek saw 46 profess Christ, Toywandeti 87 saved, Kopsiro 44 Saved, Likusi 104 saved, Kituni 109 saved, Maeni 100 professed Christ, Nambawani 211 saved, Bituyu 13 Saved. Kapkerwa. 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 2023 to help encourage these new believers and eventual Churches, please contact me at: missionaryfernandez@gmail.com or call me at 352-277-1753. Ugandan Soldiers Receiving Solar Audio Bible

The Above Picture of one of our Landmark Baptist Evangelist's getting God's Word into the hands of two Ugandan Soldiers. 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 2022 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. Some of the most exciting news produced in 2022 came out of the 10/40 window of unreached countries.  While we are not at liberty to release detailed information about this new country and ministry, I can say that God has opened a door of opportunity for us to provide resources and training for the men God has called to preach the Gospel in this closed country.  Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church.   As the return of the Lord draws nigh, He is not willing that any should perish but that all would come unto repentance towards God and faith in our Lord.  Please pray for protection of those involved in this new and exciting outreach.   2022 Sanctuary Construction  (Above) Landmark Baptist Church at Evaclet Newly Purchased Plot Landmark Baptist Church at Chelekei Completed. I have not received a picture with the roof installed but I have been told this sanctuary is completed. As you can see from the (above) pics, we are providing resources needed to put a permanent roof over the heads of God's people in East Africa. (Below) are the bricks ready for our latest Landmark Baptist Bible Institute in the Kerio Valley. We have completed the LBBI at Mt. Elgon and we pray by God's grace we will be able to start construction to train Men of God to continue to preach the gospel deeper into Uganda. 2 Tim 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. (Below) This is a picture of Pastor Kennedy Watoto and a few members of the Landmark Baptist Church at Matili. They are standing on a newly purchased plot at the base of Mt. Elgon. Pastor Isaac Slape and the folks at Calvary MBC in Muldrow, Oklahoma have partnered with this Church to build the sanctuary. We intend to put posts in the ground during our upcoming January return to Kenya.  (Below) Is a picture of the plot for the Landmark Baptist Church at Namanje. We are looking forward to building a new sanctuary there in 2023 with your prayers and support. Neh. 2:18 And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. 2022: Thousands Trust Christ on Mt. Elgon, Kerio Valley and Lake Victoria Listed below are the Number of Professions of Faith and Baptisms as reported by the Pastors and Evangelists of the Landmark Baptist Churches we currently partner with in East Africa.

We want to thank our God for the Churches of the American Baptist Association as well as individual friends, family and brethren who partner with Sis. Terry and I in East African and Florida. Please keep us and the Lord's Churches in Prayer as we push towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus.   In His Service,   Bro. Chuck & Sis.
