Greetings from Bangui,

Dear prayer supporters,

Greetings from the Hibailes,

Greetings to all,

Dear prayer supporters,

I praise God and thank all of you for your prayer support of my
ministry in Africa. After meeting with the State General Inspector two
days ago, praying with him and encouraging him with my availability to
offer leadership training to his institution, God gave me an open door
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs today. It's was another
opportunity to offer my assistance in the area of servant leadership.

I just met with the UN Chief Officer of DDR where we have dinner
together with my wife in a restaurant. This guy is my colleague with
whom we were trained in 2012 on DDR in Barcelona, Spain. He was
pleased to meet me and said that he counts on my help to have success
in his mission here in CAR. Please pray for Mr Khaled and how I can be
an help to him for the best of my country.

Thank to each of you who continue to pray and support my ministry.

Dear prayer supporters,

God answer to many prayers. Today, I had the opportunity to meet with
the President of the National Transition Council (Parliament of
Transition) together with Honorable Lea Ngaidama who was part of the
CAR delegation to the 19th Berlin International Gathering last June
2014.

Honorable Lea gave the summary of her report and the recommandation. I
also encouraged the President to consider renewing their relationship
with the German Parliament and to choose some Counselors to attend the
20th gathering in June 2015. Based on the experience of many other
members of the Parliament who went to the gathering and did not report
or implement what they have learnt there, I suggested to the President
to think of creating a committee who will watch over the all
international missions of the State for a follow up. He agreed and
said that many people have been in missions and did not physically
participated to the meetings.

I had the opportunity to present my ministry of CIDEL and offered him
our willingness to help train the members of the Parliament of the
Transition. He was pleased to read the book on leadership I gave to
him and some information about the activities of CIDEL.

Pray for more opportunities.

Greeting from a broken country of CAR,

I just delivered a Bible message at a conference of ladies from various Christian groups today. The participants came from some provinces of CAR and countries like Gabon, Cameroon, DRC, Congo.

My theme is on reconciliation in family. I introduced myself by wearing three different cups representing my positions as a husband of one wife for 34 years now, a father of 8 children and gran father to 5 grand children, the second cup put me on my spiritual responsability as a servant of The Lord (Theologian) and finally my function as Executive Director of CIDEL. All that sketch was a way to say that as an individual I have accepted three responsibilities in my life that I must do my best to produce good results. In doing my responsability I must have the "ability" to "respond" (response - ability) to those who need the report of what I have done.

Praise God the communication was well received. As parents we see the necessity to come back to a God for more wisdom, knowledge and courage to invest in the lives of people in our families and reconcile everyone to God, their neighbors and themselves.

I continue to appreciate your prayer support.

Greetings

The new year is going well for us in CAR.  January was busy with our participation to the national conference of our churches. I was able to present the Identity initiative of the global Grace Brethren Churches to the delegates who approved the projects.

Since January 5th,I am enrolled in a PhD in leadership, a bilingual courses in France/Belgium. I am not seeking a degree but want to learn the secular approach of dealing with leadership in order to help students in my ministry in universities. Please pray for wisdom as I am back to school. I also preached during an elder's ordination last month.

February started well. This week, I am facilitating a course on Strategic Thinking on behalf of Development Associates International (An academic leadership program in Colorado Springs for African countries). See attached pictures of the students in my class. Today is the last day of the course. One of my student who is a State Inspector/Controller asked me to consider offering a seminar on professional ethics to hi colleagues these coming days. Please pray for that opportunity.

Pray for:

1. CIDEL's activities of this year (trauma management, seminars, humanitarian assistance, building construction of the chapel at the university, etc.)
2. Our children's education and spiritual growth
3. A project of organizing an encounter between religious and political leaders to deal with the current sociopolitical crisis
4. Augustin's studies and balance with the activities.

Thanks for your cooperation in the ministry.

Greetings to all,

Christmas celebration went very well in some part of our country.
Christians praise God for giving us an opportunity to worship Immanuel
since we did not celebrate it since two years because of the war in
the country.

I had the privilege to deliever a Christmas message based on the fact
that Jesus came to the earth while the whole world was in crisis
(spiritual, socio-political, humanitarian, economic, etc.). Last
Friday I conducted a workshop with Christians in the Kaimba Grace
Brethren Church located in the neighborhood considered as the most
aggressive in Bangui (Boy Rabe). My wife Marie Helene went together
with me on our motorbike. The topic I taught about is Jesus evaluation
of the 7 churches in Asia. The application of the messages are useful
nowadays. I praise God for his protection  as we were little bit late
to get out of the neighborhood. Yesterday I was invited to speak on
behalf of the new members of the Alliance of Evangelical Churches in
CAR. The theme I spoke on was "Biblical principles for leadership in a
time of crisis".

The project God put in my heart to encourage Evangelicals to meet with
the political leaders to seek ways of peace and reconciliation has a
very encouraging feedback from many who read it. I gave a revised copy
of the proposal to the General Secretary of the Alliance of
Evangelical Churches who is willing to encourage other to consider it.
I also sent the copy to the Executive Secretary of the Union of GBC as
well as other leaders. Continue to pray for God's guidance and
provision for that very important encounter.

The second project of a workshop with political leaders is still in
consideration. I pray that God will send Aaron somewhere to join us
here for that end. I am willing to address the issue on good
governance with the politicians but as Jesus said, the prophet is not
approved among his peers. Pray for the means and people needed in that
project to be done before the elections planned for July/August 2015.

Our churches will held a national conference in the second week of
January 2015. Pray that many members will be able to come from
different provinces to the capital city for that encounter.

On January 1, 2015 my wife Marie Helene and I will have the first
diner of the year together with 16 couples who have had us as their
best man and maiden of honor. Could you pray that such encounter will
bring more stability in marriage? I will address the couples on the
theme "how to live together as a couple in a time of crisis?" As you
can see, my thought goes more on the situation of crisis we are facing
in our country so I want to learn from God how to live faithful in a
time of crisis and mobilize others to live with trust in God when
faith is in fire.

Thank you for your continuous support of our family and ministry.

Dear prayer supporters,

Greetings from Bangui, CAR

This is a special prayer request for our ministry to strengthen marriages.
Since our new ministry shift in 2005 God has given Marie Helene and Augustin a ministry to encourage couples in their marriages. We have been the maiden of honor and best man for 14 couples till now.

We are planning a second encounter with all couples who are in the country in our home to celebrate January 1rst, 2015 together if God allows the opportunity to happen. This will be a time to reflect on the beauty of marriage and how two people born and raised in different homes can live together because of the grace of God. We will hear different experiences in the life of marriages as well as some blessings and struggles. We will praise God and pray for his  onti ou us work in our marriages.

Could you please pray that the planned ministry will take place without any obstacle? Here we live with fear and unexpected future. We trust God in planning that important event to bless others.

Pray that God will provide means to create a joyful encounter. Many couples will know others for the first time and they will learn that we have invested in their lives. We hope this will create a family of engaged couples who will show a good examples of marriage in these days that marriage becomes a real problem to societies.

Thanks for being alongside us in our activities.

Augustin and Marie Helene Hibaile
