Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings in the wonderful name of the Lord. Hope and Pray this
letter finds all of you serving our Savior. HE is worthy, no doubt.
Becky sends her greetings as well.
Summer is upon us and the Conference in the "bush" is very near. A few days ago, Kevin wrote and asked if we had enough money to feed all the people coming to the Conference. I told him, we need to pray. It looks as if the money is not even close to what is needed so we need a miracle to say the least. Thanks go out to all of you who have helped in this project. The people in Zambia travel for days, some on foot, others rent trucks, etc. to make their way to Kafulafuta Baptist Mission. It is very hard to imagine just what it takes to not only get to the Mission from all over Zambia, Congo, and Tanzania, but to
house and feed the people when they arrive. It is quite a project.
Entire villages making the tract to come to the Mission to hear the preaching and teaching of the Lord and to have the fellowship with other believers. And to know that it only takes around 1$ to feed one person for the entire week. Of course that includes, Nshima, beans, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, dried fish, and sometimes we have enough money for sugar, salt and cooking oil to feed around 10,000. Remember, those coming are mostly unemployed, sub-servant farmers, living from day to day in a mud hut with no electricity or running water. Before the people come, we build grass structures all over the Mission and dig portable latrines, get firewood, have good clean water for all, and give them the best teaching and preaching of the Word. It is still not too late to contribute. If not, please pray that what we have will be enough, that the Lord will grant us a miracle of the loaves and fishes. God bless you guys.
We have a wonderful team coming over for the Conference. Looking forward to what the Lord is going to do. Don't forget to pray for
Brother Dennis Anderson and myself as we head to Africa on July 11th.
We are headed first to Nigeria to teach and preach for a week. Then it will be off to South Africa where we will be picked up and driven to Botswana to do a Conference in Gabarone. Then we fly to Malawi to teach and preach a conference and visit with some of our new Churches. Then it will be off to Zambia where we will then get on a bus and head for Tanzania to do a Bible Conference with some of our new churches as well. After this we will then be going to Kafulafuta for our Annual Bible Conference in the Bush. Lots of traveling, teaching, and evangelizing. Please pray for all our travels, connections, and of course my health. Also pray for Becky as she is
going to the Mission to help and assist with VBS and ladies teaching.
Pray for SOULS to be saved. God bless you guys.
In this day of financial improbability or uncertainty, Becky and I want to thank you so much for your prayers and support. So faithful have you been to the Bonner family. May our God richly bless each of you. To God be the glory. Even so come Lord Jesus. Pray pray pray.
In Jesus name,
Bobby & Becky Bonner
