1700 people were seen this week in Kawangware. All received a message of the Word of God and several confessed their faith in Jesus. - Isn't this ABLAZE?















This is a "Long Term" project, and they are planning to come back on next April, and, God willing, twice a year.

God bless this brothers and sisters as they are bringing so much help for our people!
