 No. of localities: 1
Young People: The Lord is really blessing the young people in Tana. Trainings were held in July, August, and October 2022 on the basic truths including: salvation, the word of God, the Spirit, and the kingdom. A regular weekly meeting for the young people has also been established.
Propagation: In October 2022 we went to Mahitsy, a village northwest of Tana, for propagation. Some saints also visited this place for propagation in 2018. This time, we visited some of the contacts from previous visits and gained some new ones, including the family of a young saint.
There are also saints gathering in other cities in the country: Fianarantsoa, Manakara, Toliara, and Mahajanga. Some brothers have visited these four places regularly for the shepherding, strengthening, and perfecting of the saints.
Meeting Hall: In 2021, we purchased a plot of land near the U.S. Embassy in Tana. In the following year, we purchased more plots of land connected to this plot. Now we have a sufficiently large space for the construction of a large meeting hall complex including a brother’s house and an office for the literature work. So far, construction of a small meeting hall, an office and a brother’s house have been completed. We pray that the construction of a large meeting hall can commence in the near future.

KENYA
 No. of localities: 8  Propagation: We thank the Lord that in the past two years three new churches have been established. We praise the Lord that on 19 February this year another lampstand in Ruiru (about 24 km from Nairobi) was raised up. We look to the Lord to raise up two more localities this year, in Busia (bordering Uganda) and Kaplamai (mid-west), and to prepare solid pillars to bear responsibility.Children and Young People: We have seen substantial progress in this area of service in all the churches. This is a result of the two previous conferences on “Raising Up the Next Generation”. The churches are labouring on children and young people on the Lord’s day, as well as
 through neighborhood children meetings. During the school holiday last December, conferences were organized for the young people. The young people really appreciated and enjoyed the truth released in these conferences.Literature distribution: We thank the Lord that He opened a way for the printing of the seven Rhema books in Kenya. In 2022 we printed a total of 5000 books. In addition, we received 1000 New Testament Recovery Version Bibles and a pallet of used books from the churches overseas. Through distributing these books among the churches we have received a good number of contacts. We are now laboring on these contacts and our prayer is that these ones Distance Perfecting Training: Every Tuesday morning there is a training session dedicating to new ones who are overseas. Those attending are richly nourished and we pray that He would lead them into the church life.
Social Media: In addition, we are shepherding two groups of seekers in Ogembo and Sidindi who came into contact with our saints through social media. There are 15 members in one of the groups, and about 10 new ones in the other group. They have started to enjoy the ministry and we have arranged regular visits to shepherd them.

Church Life: We are so thankful to the Lord for His work in the Church in Antananarivo commonly known as “Tana”). In October 2022, 22 saints were baptized. Some new families were added to the church. Now about 110 (90 adults and 20 children) saints are partaking of the Lord’s Table in Tana. We meet in two districts and come together once a month for blending.
Campus: The church has been busy with propagation on the campus of the University of Tana, which is the top university in the country. From 18 November till the end of December 2022 we gained 55 contacts; two of them are professors in the university. Some of them are very open and hungry for the word of God. We are shepherding them through regular appointments and Bible study meetings.
would be drawn to the Lord through this ministry.
