Strong Winds

One of our pastors just recently transferred to a new church. He actually gave up a strong congregation, strong building, and a great future in order to help encourage and strengthen a weak church. Upon his arrival he was struck with severe malaria which lasted 2 weeks. After that, strong winds and heavy rains came through the area just about destroying his church.

I showed up at the church after a heavy rain and was shocked at how much damage had been afflicted. I preached a message and gave some encouraging words to the people to trust our Lord through all of this. Romans 5 tells us we are to glory in tribulations - of course, when going through such things, it is no easy task.

Please keep Pastor Andrew Mulenga in prayers - I believe this tribulation will help to bring this congregation together and will bring glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.
