Building four churches in areas that have never had a Christian presence is a step of faith. We have resources to start construction in two villages, and our missionaries and converts are busy turning a long-standing dream into a substantial structure. We are confident that funds for two more churches will come at just the right time. What joy it is to see God’s Kingdom expanding!

NewLife has started literacy programs in 12 villages where there is no access to formal education. Missionaries are teaching boys and girls how to read – an amazing gift to a mostly illiterate society. Tables and benches are being built for each of the learning centers and the children will be provided paper, pencils and slates to practice their writing. Libraries in the churches are slowly growing so children can come and read. Here is an encouraging post about our growing literacy program.
