1(No Transcript)
2Why help Spread the Word?
- There are over 6 billion people in the world.
- Over 4 billion people have never discovered a
personal relationship with Christ. - Almost 3 billion have never even heard of Jesus.
- Every week over 1 million people die. The
majority of them have never heard about Jesus'
sacrifice for them.
3Key STW Verse
- Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved. How, then, can they call on the one
they have not believed in? And how can they
believe in the one of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching
to them? And how can they preach unless they are
sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the
feet of those who bring good news! (Romans
101315)

You can be sure this gift will go a long way in
contributing to the impact of our churchs
missionary outreach ministries in the East
African Region. -Rev. James Obunde

Many of our leaders were struggling to travel
to their churches to continue the work of the
LordSeveral of the regions in Zambia are very
sandy so special bicycles with wider tires were
purchasedBut most of all the leaders are able to
travel freely to spread the Gospel to those in
rural areas who need to know about the love of
Jesus. -Rev Mike Isaacs
8Uganda
The maiden voyage of this boat is just around the
corner to reach people groups all along the water
sources in Uganda. Without the support of teens
in North America, this would still be a dream,
but now it is a reality!

Belém has two centers where the video projector
was used and of course each of them has many
different opportunities to spread the word
through presentations in neighboring barrios
(neighborhoods) as well. The one night we were
able to attend they showed the Passion of Christ
during Easter week and the crowd was about 250 -
300. The children watched the JESUS film in
another room by way of video on TV. The
projector is such a great blessing when wanting
to present the Gospel to large groups.

We are thrilled to have our youth basement
finished!!! We had our first youth service there
on Friday. The café art is just great!!! We still
have a few bits of work to do on the big room,
but we are able to meet there. Also, we are
almost finished with our second level of
discipleship (The Ultimate Adventure Series) and
I want you to know that I have ten students
committed to this and they are growing
spiritually. We meet after church on Sunday
afternoons...now in the café! --Kelley Philips
