| Mr. and Mrs. R. |
Friends in the CAR continue to face challenges with the
instability and insecurity, but God is helping the church in Bambari to replace
the roof of the church building my grandfather built in the 1950’s. We rejoice in the privilege we have as
believers today to be involved in the preaching of the Gospel “in all the world
for a witness unto all nations” (Matthew 24:14).

Praise for:
-
the completion of the work on our house and for being able to host guests and
our English outreach club once again.
-
several individuals that have been attending our services faithfully, including
a couple originally from Laos.
-
God’s many blessings in our BMM France team’s annual Bible conference April
9-12, for His protection for travel, for spiritual refreshment and for His
guidance in our business meetings.

- the excellent
opportunities we have had to share the Gospel through the English club and for
the keen interest seen in several of the children. One of the kids we have been praying for has especially
shown great improvement in behavior and listening.

-
one year of regular contact with a friend in the Middle East over skype and for
great opportunities to explain the Gospel recently in response to his questions
about the Easter holiday.
Pray for
- God to open
a door for our church to be able to move to a new building with more room and
visibility. We have had several leads recently, but each time the door has
closed.
- God to
continue His work in the hearts of the people we are ministering to. Pray for some who are struggling
spiritually.
- a strong
finish to a good year of English club outreach, including some end of year
activities reaching out to the families of the children.
- the Lord’s
guidance in preparing a new church flyer that God could use to cause the people
in this area to want to know Him.

- the participants
in the FOF (Focus on France) program this summer that will be arriving May 21. There are four college students that will
be taking part in a missions internship this summer. Pray for our teammates and for us as we plan and host.
- the
reroofing of the Center One Baptist church in Bambari, CAR despite the ongoing
unrest.
- continued
improvement in health for Cherith and the kids.
