I am thankful to report that God is continuing to bless the mission
work in Africa. There are many different countries on the continent,
and we are presently only working with four countries of which all
have their particular needs and spiritual battles. I am looking to
the Lord to open the way for us to spread the gospel in some of the
other countries in Africa.
Last year various saints contributed funds to help supply some of
the poor and orphaned children in Mozambique and Malawi with
blankets to help keep them warm during the winter months. Due to
that effort, hundreds of blankets have been distributed to children
in need. There is a continual need for humanitarian support in
Africa because of the widespread poverty. My primary purpose and
burden is to share the gospel of Christ, but I am committed to
helping meet some of these humanitarian needs as the Lord provides
the funds.
God blessed in the various meetings in Nigeria this past winter. In
the last few years, based on my observation, there has been an
increased burden for evangelism and outreach among the saints in
Nigeria. From the African fund, expenses were paid for three
ministers from Ghana to travel to Nigeria and attend the camp
meeting. This is the first time this has taken place and I trust not
the last. This interaction between the saints of these countries is
profitable and worthwhile. There is a real need for a vehicle for
the evangelistic work in Nigeria. I have established a fund for this
and am trusting that within six months we will have the $10,000
necessary to meet the need. I have confidence that the vehicle will
be a great asset to the native ministers and saints involved in the
outreach effort.
I desire an interest in your prayers for the work of God that the
gospel would go out with anointing and power. I long to see the
gospel reach people who have never yet heard of the saving power of
Jesus Christ. Please remember us in the mission trips planned for
this year.
In the Lord,
-Bro. Michael Smith |
