Nearly three years ago we were passing out tracts in Uvira, Democratic
Republic of Congo inviting people to attend the first services of the
Independent Bible Baptist Church of Uvira. One of those tracts ended
up in the hands of a child who was on his way to school. When arriving
at school his Muslim teacher, a man by the name of Musonga asked what
was written on that paper he had in his hands. Musonga confiscated
the tract and began to read it. His curiosity about what was written
on the tract caused him to enquire where it came from and later that
day he arrived at the church building full of questions.

Pastor Mike Njoroge was happy to answer all his questions, taking much
time to show him what was written in the bible. As some time went by
Musonga began to fall under deep conviction and soon repented of his
sins, trusting Christ as his Saviour. The very next Sunday I had the
privilege of baptizing him in Lake Tanganyika. It was a glorious day
when he was baptized because he was the FIRST person we baptized in
Congo.

Musonga was like a sponge; soaking up everything he was taught. When
we began the bible college classes, he was one of our first students.
It was about one year after he was saved that God called him to
preach. We began taking him on some evangelistic trips, giving him as
much training in and out of class as possible. Our pastoral teams
that have spent the last three years working in Congo have done a
tremendous job preparing Musonga for the ministry.

I am always humbled as I watch the people here serve God. They do so
much with so little. When many our falling to the temptation of more
money, more education and more prestige they just continue doing God’s
will, and doing it God’s way. Their reward in heaven will be great.

Please pray for Pastor Musonga and our Kenyan teams as they continue
to press forward taking the gospel into the darkest parts of the Dark
Continent.
