2 Burundi Update


Our last day of work is complete.  We have seen 5294 professions of faith with 7 new churches started and 1 existing church strengthened.  We began our day by meeting with many of the Parliament, Senate, and the Mayor of Bujumbura.  I was invited to come and preach to them.  It was a wonderful time.  We presented the Mayor a gift Bible which was very nice.  We also presented one for the President although he was unable to attend.  The Senators and members of Parliament were very responsive to my sermon and God was present in a very special way.  The Mayor was very hospitable and very thankful for my preaching.  We will rest tomorrow and do some sightseeing.  Sunday morning we will have one large worship service with 7 of the churches and will be baptizing many of the new believers.  After the worship service we will change clothes at the hotel and go to the airport.  I have had many dreams of Mexican food and awakened myself to disappointment.  We are so excited to come home and share with everyone about God's faithful and miraculous hand during this trip.
Grace and Peace,
Richmond
