As I am waiting to see our Ambassador, I got the answer to my request. The visa interview appointment is now scheduled for
October 12, 2016 at 9am. I have to change my return flight to Bangui. Pray that the Governmental seminar will be scheduled sometime after I get back home.
Thanks for your support and prayer.

Greetings to all,
Yesterday my interview appointment was postponed to October 24th due
to the fact that I did not pay through the bank the application fees.
So, I made a transfer to Yaounde for the payment of that fees.
I decided to go to Yaounde this Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016 in order to
request for the earlier interview appointment.
Please pray that God will work in the way I can be granted with the
visa for my trip to New York on October 21th.
CIDEL has a program to consolidate peace in the village of Boyali
where we have had "a week of peace and social cohesion" last September
2015. The plan is to go there for a day of evaluation of the impact of
our ministry last year, two days of training on specific subjects that
will strengthen what was given last year and a foot ball game among
the youth of the village.
I presented this program to the Minister of Youth during my audience
with him last week and he is willing to participate to the football on
Saturday October 15, 2016 at Boyali.
Some of you know that Boyali is where Pastor Abakar is pastoring the
Grace Brethren Church there. CIDEL is encouraging his ministry that
way.
Pray that I will come back on time to participate to the leadership
seminar that is being planned by the Prime Minister.
I appreciate your prayers very much.

Dear prayer supporters,
Today I went to the church in one of the Evangelical churches of AIM that has about 3000 attendees in two services. I was blessed by the worship service and the message on John 17.
I will be departing tomorrow back home. It's will take me two days to get home, so I appreciate your prayer for my safe trip and arrival at home.
I got a very encouraging feedback from my students who appreciated my teaching style with "respect and love for the learners" said one of the comments. Praise God.
I spent the evening with the Administrative General Secretary of the University Shalom of Bunia who wanted to know how I started CIDEL because they want to create a Center of Ministries in their University. He also invited me to come back in February-March 2017 to help them in that area of expertise also conduct a leadership seminar with Government leaders (Maybe I will ask Pointman Leadership Institute to seize that opportunity).
Please see attached picture of me and my students at the University Shalom of Bunia.

Greetings to all,
Yesterday, I was invited to the cabinet of the Director of the cabinet of the Prime Minister. He said that the Prime Minister gave great importance to the participation of CIDEL in presenting a module on leadership. There will be six instructors (former Prime Ministers and other Experts in governance) including a representant of CIDEL. The seminar will take place before the end of this week. Please pray that we will impact the lives of those in position of authority for the best of the political governance.
Your prayer is needed while I will be traveling to Bunia in the Democratic Republic of Congo tomorrow till September 20th to train students in a Theological Seminary. I will fly to Nairobi in Kenya, than to Entebbe in Uganda before arriving in Bunia.

Greetings
Change occurred in the administration of the Departments of the University of Bangui that has my personal involvement with some new Administrators. Today the Dean of the language Department and the Director of the Archaeological Center have requested my spiritual support for their new responsibilities. It's was an honor to pray just an hour ago in their offices at the University.
I read Daniel 6 and mentioned about the integrity of Daniel in the kingdom administration. Daniel's enemies did not find anything to accuse him in his responsibility only to accuse him because of his faith to God. It's was a great opportunity to encourage those new responsible of the departments of the University.
A lot to do among the university administrators as well as professors and students that I need your support to create a new generation of university's leaders for the best of my country.
As I mentioned earlier in my mail, yesterday was great with the meeting with the President in his cabinet that more will be done to provide spiritual insight for good governance that I need your prayer support.
Thank you for your prayers.

Greetings to all,
I arrived in Germany last Saturday and visited Pastor Rainer Ehmann who visited us in Bangui last March. During my stay with Rainer, I was involved in the birthdays of his oldest sister Monica (June 4) and his youngest daughter Caroline (June 5). We traveled together with Rainer to Switzerland from Monday to Tuesday where I visited some friends (Dr Klaus a medical doctor who stayed in our Guest House in Bangui last week and traveled with my last Friday and the Aelligs who have been in CAR in the sixties).
today I made safely to Berlin and met the other delegates from CAR who arrived also today. We have had a first encounter with the representants of the Konrad Adenaeur Foundation who invited the leaders of the religious plateform and myself to a round table on the situation of post elections in the CAR. We will meet with representants of the German Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defense tomorrow to share about our country.
Thanks for praying for me as I will be in touch with many people. My prayer is that God will use me to impact the lives of some with the experience I have in Africa through CIDEL.
I was encouraged last Sunday in Stuttgart by the presence of an Ambassador of a European country during my sermon on Luke 18:1-8 at the Stuttgart Grace Brethren Church. His son-in-law was is a Christian was pleased he attended the church service and could listen to the testimony of a ministry to those in positions of authority.
Thanks for your prayers.
