Message from Pastor Léonard Nyakamaga
Greeting and Blessings
"Dear brothers and sisters, may the grace and peace of our God be with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Call for Prayers and Support
Pastor Léonard humbly requests fervent prayers and generous support for the Jehovah's Saints Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Current Challenges
Need for a New Building
The church requires funds to build a new facility to continue its mission of helping the homeless and serving the community.
Recent rainwater has severely damaged the existing church building in Bukavu, necessitating urgent repairs and maintenance.
Financial Requirements
The church needs $4,400 as a two-year guarantee for the building owner to begin rehabilitation.
Additional funds are needed to replace musical instruments lost in the flood.
Importance of a Physical Address
A permanent location is essential for conducting evangelistic outreaches and providing shelter for orphans, widows, and those displaced by war.
Matthew 25:35-36: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Appeal for Generosity
Encouragement to Give
Pastor Léonard emphasizes that no amount is too small and expresses deep gratitude for any contribution.
Suggested donation amounts include $25, $50, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, or any other amount that God places on your heart.
2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
Vision for the Future
The church aims to reach the entire Democratic Republic of Congo with the gospel, fulfilling its mission to serve and uplift the community.
Isaiah 58:10: "And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."
Gratitude and Faith
Pastor Léonard expresses confidence in the power of prayer and the generosity of God's people.
He extends heartfelt thanks for the love, prayers, and support of the community.
Philippians 4:19: "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."
"Yours sincerely, in Jesus Christ, Pastor Leonard Nyakamaga, National President of the Jehovah's Saints Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
