Please pray for a possible meeting I will have next week with the Special Representant of the Secretary General of the UN in CAR for our intent to organize a one day seminar with the candidates of the Presidential Elections scheduled for December 27th. CIDEL want to invite again the Honorary vice-Président of the Democratic Republic of Congo to come and encourage the candidates for the post elections support for good governance.

The progress of the building construction of the chapel at the university is going quite very well. Praise God that the risk to get the materials or spend them in appropriately was minimized. Thanks to brother Martin Bayani who oversees the construction.
Please pray for the completion of this project.

Dear supporters in the ministry!
Marie Helene and I safely returned home yesterday and were happy to meet our children and coworkers (Janet and others). We rejoice with the good encounter we have with the students at the Yaounde new Bible Institute where 25 couples were encouraged in their marriage and their vocation to serve the Lord in full time.
Tomorrow, I am leaving again for Abuja in Nigeria with other Pastors to get the Thailande visa. From Abuja we will fly to Bangkok to attend the Charis International gathering where we will finalize the Common Identity Initiative of the Grace Brethren Churches. We will be back home in November 11, 2015.
We appreciate your prayer support for the time in Nigeria where I will spend some days training couples on the marriage biblical principles as I did in Cameroon as well as the trip to Thailande.
Thanks to all of you who are continuing to encourage us in the ministry. May God rewards you more than you do for us.

Greetings to all,
We praise God for the strenghts, wisdom he gives us to minister all days long in Yaounde, Cameroon with many leaders.
1) We have taught two weeks of 4 hours per day on Christian marriage to 25 couples at the Bible Institute. Marie Helene and I are very happy to be used to impact the lives of many. From what we learn in our classes, the church fails to build a Christian foundation in the lives of families. There are lots to do.
A couple whose wife left him after 21 years of marriage come together and reconciled yesterday before the students during our final ceremony.
Students have seen and learn a missionary couple renewed their vows before them. They learn how to say love words between husband and wife.
2) Augustin has another opportunity to train 40 leaders from 14 various professional organizations and enterprises here in Yaounde. That 4 days seminars were organized by the sister organization of CIDEL-Cameroon. The theme was about equipping the "Agents of moral and ethical reform of the society"
3) We will depart for Douala tomorrow morning to spend the week of rest there until we fly home on October 17, 2015.
4) Pray that we will have seats on the plane to be home as planned because I will fly on October 19 to Abuja, Nigeria to get visa for Thailande where I will be there to participate to very important gathering on behalf of the global church initiative.

Greetings to all,
Our Bible class on marriage went well today. Marie Helene taught the ladies separately from the men who were with me. Today we discussed the theme of vow, promise and engagement made in marriage and focused on Matthew 5:37.
Every afternoon we welcome two couples where we stay and listen to their stories and encourage them in their vocation and their marriage. They are very open and want to learn how to strengthen their relationship and how to serve God better. They learned today that family must come first and the church second. Most of Pastors here tend to put their ministry to the people first and do not spend time with their family.
We have 25 couples to work with these two weeks. Our plan is to go back to Douala on October 11 and spend some days of rest before we head back to Bangui on October 17 if it's will be safe then.
We appreciate your prayers for our children and country as well as our time here in Yaounde.

Greetings to all,
I email you from Yaounde in Cameroon where my wife Marie Helene and I arrived yesterday to teach on marriage at a Bible Institute for couple weeks.
While we were at the Bangui airport yesterday, we got news of the shutting of some neighborhoods where many people were killed.
Please pray for my children who are left back and for CIDEL's members who have finished the "week of peace and social cohesion at Boyali" today. They can not get back to Bangui because of the unrest and the roads that are closed. Pray for their protection and for the road to be opened tomorrow so they can safely make home.
The week was outstanding with the conversion of many people. Pray that the situation in Bangui will not create violence among those who have made decision to follow Jesus.
Pray for the three weeks we will spend in Cameroon.

Please Pray for the Progress of the Chapel! (from Encompass World Partners)
We’ve been informed by Dr. Augustin Hibaile that construction of the chapel at the Bangui University campus was launched in May. Pray that God will add more workers to join us in this huge ministry. It will take approximately 120 days to have the building ready for ministry at the university. The chapel will serve as the center for CIDEL (International Center for the Development of Ethical Leadership, which Dr. Hibaile directs), as well as for his numerous personal encounters with students.
UPDATE: Thanks for your prayers concerning the construction of the chapel on the Bangui University campus in Central African Republic. We praise the Lord for the provision of the funds necessary and for the progress being made. The chapel is now half completed, even though some heavy rains slowed the progress. A challenge for your continued prayer is for the African supervisor of the construction, whose motorcycle was stolen recently.

Praise God and thanks to you all,
The 4 days leadership seminars with politicians ended this afternoon with 70 participants who received their Certificates of completion on the Power of Character and the leadership Responsible: the prevention of corruption. They also received PLI pins of integrity and have made vow to develop integrity in their daily lives.
Participants were challenged by the good example of integrity of Azarias Ruberwa, former Vice President of the Democratic Republic of Congo who have accepted to join u in this training. It was requested during the closing ceremony that CIDEL plan another training for the candidates of the presidential elections when their names will be known. Also, the Ministry of Interior was asked to keep I. Touchwith CIDEL to organize training for political leaders in CAR.
Praise God, my friend From Switzerland Henri Minder shared the Gospel of salvation In Jesus through the symbols in the Swiss knives he distributed to all the participants. This seminar has given more opportunities of ministries to CIDELand myself in the future.
See photos below.
