Greetings and Happy New Year!

January 16, 2004

We sent two containers (1100) wheelchairs to Pastor Ejiba in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Here is a story from Ejiba:

"Dear Don,

Greetings in Jésus name.

We gave Pastor Fada from Mashambio province some wheelchairs. Pastor Fada took some wheelchairs to Tua village, 18 Km away. There is no church in Tua. In Tua he gave a wheelchair to Mr. Ndona (47 years old). Government officials were present. They realized how powerful this gift was. The officials asked Pastor Fada if he could plant at least one church in each village of this area. This event became a tool to plant churches!

One girl with handicap got a wheelchair, then the entire family of this young girl started attending this church. Since then the church went from attendance of 152 persons to 187 members.

We praise God for what He his doing with these wheelchairs.

Ejiba"

Attached is a photo from one of these new churches in the DRC.
