Greetings
Just to inform you that the humanitarian team from Germany called
Humedica Internationale is arrived in Bangui this morning. It is
Raphael Marcus and Muller Margret. They are here for six days to find
out the need of the people in this time of war and see how they can
provide their assistance. I took them from the airport and they are
staying at the Mission's center were my family is staying.
Please continue to pray for the situation in CAR.

Greetings to all,
Although some churches are burnt throughout the country, church
leaders are still active in ministering to people. Praise God for the
opportunity God gave me today to preach in the church my family
attends. The Galabadja 3 Grace Brethren Church is located in the area
where there are lot of activities of ex-seleka and the anti balaka. It
is about 10 km north of the mission's center my family is staying now.
This morning, my wife and I left around 7:15 AM on a mopet.
Unfortunately the mopet broke down and we came back to the mission. We
were able to attend the church by someone's car.
My message today from Acts 2:1 was to call those who came to the
church service to allow the Holy Spirit to use them to make a
difference in this time of crisis. Christians in CAR must get lessons
from the current crisis in order to seize the future with the
blessings of God. During the service in French 2139 people were able
to hear the message as well as the 1600 people in the second service
in Sango.
Leaders are needed during a crisis more than managers. I am thankful
that I am with my people in my country in this difficult time. I trust
God to protect me and continue to use me to impact the lives of many.
It is my first time to see some of the anti balakas on my way to the
church. I pray that God will calm down their spirit and bring them
back to the reason. Please pray that the church will be a great help
to many people and that people in crisis will come to know Jesus as
the solution of their problem.
Praise God

While the new President is planning to have a new Prime Minister and new members of Government, the situation in Bangui and in the provinces is not totally calm.
Last night the French soldiers were not around the mission's compound where we are staying as before. Unfortunately there was a looting that took place beside our compound in the office of an attorney. Our nihgt watch man said that there were lot of armed people who did the operation last night. No one was killed and we are safe in the mission's center. A former Minister associated to the seleka was killed yesterday.
Dave Dearmey a humanitarian from Water for Good who is staying with us is safe. He is connecting with humanitarians in Chad to bring Jean Baptiste the driver of water for good who was kidnapped in CAR to be brought to Chad in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Praise God I taught to my mom yesterday and she is miraculously protected by God in the midst of the unrest my home town Bocaranga is facing for many months now. She has a real problem for food but I don't have ways to help her as well as my son Melchi, his aunt and my brother Daniel.
Pray that a qualified person will be chosen to lead the government of the transition as well as the new members.
Thanks for your prayers

A new Prime Minister is just appointed to organize and lead the
government of transition in the CAR.
His name is Andre NZAPAYEKE. He is new to many of us and we trust God
to give him wisdom to stop all the killing and looting.
Thanks for your prayer.

Greetings to all
Someone has asked me if I am sick because you don't receive my news for couple days. No, I am doing well but was exhausted by meetings and planning for the people in our site.

Since this morning, Marie Helene and myself are welcoming some
families from the northern part of Bangui inside the mission's
compound. Four families with a number of children are finding refuge
with us. We are 50 people today. We don't know what tomorrow will look
like.
Pray for wisdom, knowledge and more strenghten to manage these people.
It is good we have a Professor of medicine with us to help when there
will be a health issue.
Pray for that God will provide food, medication and what is necessary
to help people here.
Pray that the situation of crisis will end very soon.
Happy new year to all of you.
Thanks for your support.

If we continue to bother you with prayer request it is because we do not have peace yet in CAR. We appreciate your prayer for the north of Bangui that is under fire guns since last night. This morning we can hear the shooting here in town. My home is in tha area and the shootings are less than a mile from my home. Pray for Armand my cousin who is there. I asked him to find a way to leave the house and seek refuge somewhere.
CAR needs God's intervention and our prayers are necessary.

Merry Christmas to all,
Christmas season reminds us of God's love for the world. Because of God's love in your heart, you have shown a love to my family and ministry by providing financial support that gives us many opportunities to accomplish lot of activities in CAR, Cameroon, Chad, Burundi, DRC and Congo this year that is finishing.
God knows how many people were blessed by our ministry this year. As we are facing a difficult time in CAR, and if God continue to use us, we will appreciate your support during the year 2014 so that we can continue to spread the Gospel of salvation in Jesus.
Please accept our thanks and gratitude.

People in the city mostly in Boy Rabe, Gobongo, PK 12, Combattant,
etc. live with more fear since last Thursday because of lot of
shooting even at the military camp at the airport. There is few
movement of people, taxi this morning downtown. Some stores and Grand
cafe are opened. We appreciate your prayers.
We are spending good time everyday with the night workers praying and
reading the Bible together. We begun a Bible learning on the method
called PELEM (P= Personnage, E = Epoque (Time period), L = Lieu
(place), E = Event and M = Message). Yesterday Marie Noel led the
prayer time and we studied Matthieu 18:8-34. We are encouraged by the
word of God and trust in him who delievered Jonas in the belly of a
fish and Daniel in the fire and the lions.
Your email and phone call are great encouragement for us in this time.
My daughter Neto is recovering from her malaria. Jessica and Sulamite
in Cameroon are still treating their sickness. Please pray for them.
