God is always good! Thank you for your continued prayers. God is answering your prayers for good health and safety. He is also answering your prayers by giving me the great honor of listening to concerns and praying with President Mavoungou and missionary Fred Reinhardt. We've had Holy-Spirit led conversations at meal times and in taxis about the joys and challenges of ministry. God has truly raised up President Mavoungou to serve during these years as the President of the Lutheran Church of the Congo. He is a wise, compassionate, joyful, and humble man who loves Jesus most in his life. He is respected by all and bears much responsibility yet does it with joy. He is truly a servant leader and it is my honor to encourage him and learn from him. He has a heart for evangelism and missions that is contagious! Fred Reinhardt continues to work hard for the building up on the local churches in all of French speaking Africa. Fred is the one who connected OSLC to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Congo in 2011 with the purpose of establishing a ministry partnership in the Gospel. Four years later I continue to say thank you, Fred!
