Farewell to the students

Teachers and students eat traditional banana stew in the church outdoor kitchen at Pasua. This is a very a popular dish in Kilimanjaro region. It will be their last meal together this term. Students will be practising what they learned in bible school in their home churches over the next 9 months before returning for the final section of three months to complete there certificate course. Please remember to pray for each one of them, especially Leonce who will be extremely busy pastoring and encouraging the 22 new believers at Uchira.

Bible School Exams

Bible School Students sitting final exams in the new classroom (classroom 1). This was completed on time to allow the exams to be take place in more spacious and appropriate conditions. It was unfortunately not completed in time to be used for teaching this year but will be ready to receive the next intake of students from the start of next term.

Classroom 2 nears completion

The students have been able to sit their exams for the first time in one of the new classrooms (not this one obviously!). This is the final week of bible school and will conclude with the examinations. Please pray for the students as they prepare to return to their church fellowships better equiped and ready to serve. Keep praying for Allan and the rest of the team as they finish what has been a very demanding and exhausting 3 months.

KLB Pasua Invitation Sunday

Allan writes with news of last weekend in Moshi ~ "Well a very busy weekend but another one in the kingdom which is all so very worthwhile! We had over 180 people there this Sunday for our special invitation and the programme was a little different from usual - two speakers, a choir of 20 and a three hour service! Wow! Not for the faint hearted especially when these days the temperature can reach 90 deg F in the shade!
The highlight after our preaching on 'What do we know about the second coming of Christ?' was that one woman decided to be ready for His return! Praise the Lord! Several others needed prayer for difficult circumstances at home and I spent a good half hour counselling one family in our fellowship who are having a particularly hard time with aggressive neighbours who don't like their faith. Please join with us in thanksgiving and prayer for the further advance of His kingdom at KLB Pasua"

Maranatha House progress

'Putting the windows in' has a slightly more constructive meaning in Moshi than Glasgow!

Building Update

Bible school classroom number two is approaching final finishing. Windows from the supplier have been delaying us, but should be well underway next week. External plastering has been completed to one end of the building and decorative brick should be added next week.

Maranatha house has made good progress and is looking special. Unfortunately there was a small incident when a tradesman fell from a ladder at roof level and is in hospital for observation, please pray for a full recovery.

22 saved at Uchira

Great news ~ 22 people were saved over the four days at the Uchira meetings. Over 200 gathered on Saturday and Sunday for meetings and the Jesus film. Discipleship classes continue Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Pray for Leonce the full time worker there as he continues the ministry after finishing Bible school at the end of November.

Outreach at Uchira

Uchira outreach.
The outreach at Uchira, a village where we have a full time worker and are trying to help with church growth, got off to a good start tonight with around 100 people meeting. Meetings will carry on over the weekend, and in the evenings of Saturday and Sunday the Jesus film will be shown. There is a lot of opposition in the area from others within the community. Please pray for safety in travel as we bus people from Pasua there each evening to help with this ministry, and that God will bring many to a knowledge of himself, and that they maybe able to grow in their faith with the help of the local Christians there. Seminars will take place Monday and Tuesday for those who have made a commitment of faith.

Robert at work

Robert
We are grateful to God for answered prayer on behalf of Robert who has now settled well into his apprenticeship at the local leather factory. He is moving around the various crafts so that he may become skilled in all areas of the work. He is learning to work with leather and wood in carving and creative design with end products meeting the market in the tourist industry. Some of Robert's handicrafts will reach to the furthest corners of the world!! Continue to pray for him as he continues to mature in his Christian life and receives counselling and direction from our local church pastor.

God wants more 'Morgans'!

Comments Please!

Dear friends of Allan & Jacqui and supporters of MCCC, Thank you all for taking the time to visit this site. Can I please encourage you all to make use of the comments box on the postings whether you have a Blogger account or not. And don't be anonymous! The blog is intended to stimulate lively discussion and prayer for the work at MCCC. Your words of encouragement and support will be a great help to Allan & Jacqui as I am sure they often feel isolated and forgotten out there in Moshi. Please also feel free to make suggestions about the content of this blog. I would like to try and keep you informed on all important aspects of the work to ensure your personal and corporate prayer is direct, effective and bears much fruit in the work of MCCC. Thank you for helping make Africa's childrens count for Christ and for being partners with Allan & Jacqui.

Maranatha House

"'Let us start rebuilding'. So they began this good work" ~ Neh. 2 v 18
Praise God that only this week the work has just started 'rebuilding the walls' of Maranatha House, independant living accommodation for Kasi and the older boys.

Feeling down? Look up!
