Dear prayer supporters,

Could you pray and advice for the following proposal I am considering
to contribute to the peace process in CAR?

After praying and taking some small steps in this time of crisis in
CAR, I am sensing the Lord's leading me to bring together political
and religious leaders to brainstorm of some vital issues related to
our context before the elections. I want to encourage the religious
platform to organize a meeting focused on three points:

 1) To seek to honestly determine who carries the responsibility for
this situation, resulting in the death of thousands and the huge
destruction of property and infrastructure.  2) To seek to determine
what form of government could have the greatest possibility of
restoring peace.  3) To seek to make the leaders understand that the
only hope for the country is to seek the intervention of God.

As you know the war in CAR is considered as a religious one. So it is
important to clarify that between religious and political leaders and
encourage each other to contribute to the restoration of peace
throughout the country.

A second project I am praying for is to have CIDEL organize a
leadership workshop with all the political leaders in order to lead
them to the same direction of seeking the interest of the people not
their own. Dr. Gary Allen, President of Christian Organization to the
United Nations Community is willing to assist CIDEL in providing some
key topics for the workshop. No date is planned yet. We will do some
assesment and prepare a budget for that workshop before we set the
dates before the elections (July-August).

Pray and please give your feedback and advice to those important projects.

Passionate for people.

Thanks for your prayers.

Greetings to all,

Praise God, CIDEL has distributed 400 Bibles, 400 song books and 400 trauma booklet for Pastors during their national conference. Many of those Pastors have lost their Bibles and books during the war we are facing till today. With the help of many of you, CIDEL has provided those very important tools to encourage Pastors in their ministry during this time of crisis.

We were little bit concerned about the distribution today because since this morning, the ex-Seleka have closed a block of the road from from the Prime Minister cabinet to one of the hospital on the main road to the airport. We took another road with all the risk to get to the church where the conference is taking place.

Lot of thanks from the Pastors who received the kit. Pray that they will bring those books safely to their home. Many come from the provinces, some where looted on their way to Bangui.

Thanks for your prayer support. See photos below. 

On behalf of CIDEL I thank you all.

Augustin

(urgent prayer need!)

Greetings,

We plan to go to the national conference for the distribution of the Bibles now. Please mobilize people as you can to pray for safetyon the road, during the distribution and back home. There is a tension on the street (avenue des martyrs till the round-about de la paix). We will drive through Benzvi to Cité des Martyrs where the conference is taking place now.

We appreciate your prayer while we bring the word of God to his servants in an insecure time as this here. Thanks!

We appreciate your prayers for the retreat we are going through now at the Encompass World Partners. CIDEL is meeting with the national Bible Society and another national Christian NGO.

We are reviewing our activities on trauma management we did on the Internally Displaced People. We want to go further in dealing with the trauma as a ministry.

Together,

Augustin

Please pray for the country of Burkina Faso that has a political unrest today. My son Jay and other young citizen from the CAR are students there in Ouagadougou, the capital city.
