Next Steps for Chuck and Sue Wells
  
       
  Bujumbura Burundi, standing in the front of a church with stone walls, concrete floors and wooden benches, looking across a sea of faces of men and women eager to learn more tools to use in their churches, you see the open front doors.  Looking out through the shadows of the gloom of the inside of the unlit church into the bright sunlight outside – are the people.  Humanity moving about; trying to find food for the day, work for tomorrow, an education that will help their life improve in the years to come.      What they need is Christ for eternity.

       

Upon my arrival I was surprised to learn that I would be meeting with cabinet level government ministers during the first two days.  As it turned out we met with at least five ministers and Presidential assistants to share the vision of International Christian Ministries and its desire to serve the church and people of the nation of Burundi.  In each meeting we were warmly welcomed and given full attention as we talked about wanting to establish a seminary and university in their capitol of Bujumbura. 

As a result of the leadership of Painito Ambuka, the country director of ICM Burundi, the government agreed to deed about 17 acres of level, lake shore land, as the site of the campus.  Please pray for Painito as he now has the immense task of developing funds to build this facility.
      
It is my prayer that the small seeds I planted in going and helping teach will be blessed by God into a great harvest someday.     

Following my week in Burundi I traveled up to Kampala Uganda where I was honored to speak to several groups of church leaders.  This was my third visit to Uganda and I was hosted by Dr. David Omalla, ICM’s country director.  What a treat to be with him, his family, and staff.  We taught in churches in Jinja and Mityana.
 
I also brought something special home; a mild case of Malaria.  Fortunately I also brought home a curative dose of medication which worked quickly.  I was down for three days and have returned to full health.      

Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support.  Please know that I am available to make presentations at churches wishing to learn about the ministry of ICM in Africa and the Middle East.   

Sue and I are available to speak at your church or small group on missions with an emphasis on Africa and the Middle East.  We can help you organize a mission trip to Africa and I consult on Purpose Driven Ministries and church health issues.
