Nebraska Team

Women's Dorm MBC
Orientation time
Jerry Spain's team of 23 people from four different churches, mostly from Nebraska, finished their work and left yesterday to return to the states.  They are a wonderful, hard-working, big-hearted group of people; they were a blessing to us personally as well as to the Mwanza Bible College and the Mwanza District. 
In a week's time they accomplished an impressive amount of work. They put in the footings and put the roof up for the new Women's dorm at Mwanza Bible College, painted the classrooms, teacher's offices, hallway and library, poured new cement flours in the classrooms, poured a sidewalk for the men's dorm, put up a wall to form a storage room and took down a wall to make two small classrooms into one large classroom.
In addition, they went out to the Mwanza District Church Planting School site and put up roof frames for two buildings.
WOW!  What a blessing; thanks to each one of the team members for their sacrifice and hard work and thanks to everyone who prayed for them.

Pathfinders Team from Madison TN


Campsite at Nyambiti

The Pathfinders team from Cornerstone Church in Madison TN arrived on February 20th to put up a church roof in the village of Nyambiti.
The truck that was to bring the building supplies did not arrive until Wednesday so the team went to the site for the Mwanza District Church Planting School and put in the foundations for the buildings on that property and put together some of the roof components.

Finished roof at Nyambiti village

On Wednesday about noon the truck arrived with the building supplies and the team spent several hours off-loading the supplies to two different locations. 
By staying up until about 1:00am Wednesday and working with lights and starting again Thursday morning about 5:00am, they were able to get the roof project completed for the Nyambiti church. 
Although Satan seemed to try to hinder us on this project in multiple ways, the team persevered and finished the project for the glory of God.  Thanks to the hundreds of our friends and supporters who were praying for this project. Satan and his demons were defeated by the power of prayer.
