Update on New Church Build in the Cayman Islands

We have received exciting news from Bishop Clayton Martin, general presbyter of the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean Islands, and national bishop of the Cayman Islands.

The nation has recently embarked on new construction to complete a long-envisioned and desired local church plant in a new location in the Cayman Islands. Recently Bishop Martin shared a report on the progress of the multipurpose facility being built in Lookout Gardens, Bodden Town, Grand Cayman Islands. This facility will house a large sanctuary, 12 classrooms, and a family life center, all to be used by the new local congregation. Construction began in early January and signifcant progress has already been made.

If you would like to assist in the building of this facility, your fnancial assistance would be most welcomed and appreciated. Your prayers for success in completion of the construction and ministry effort are also welcomed.

Urgent Need in Uganda

Heavy rains and storms caused massive fooding and landslides in Uganda killing 136 people, six of which were members of our local fellowship in Gashora Church of God of Prophecy. These foods have caused three of our local church buildings to be washed away, including the Gisha church in Chibumba, the Kabihanga church, and the Gashoro church.

Our district supervisor and authorities have confrmed fve additional fatalities in Bizi village and six in Gihuyaga village. Our church in this community was washed away and six members were lost in the landslide. A severe hailstorm damaged the Gisha Church, and the Kabihanga Church was washed away by landslides due to the heavy rains which triggered fooding in communities near rivers, streams, and creeks.

The Chibumba trading center is completely fooded. Many have been evacuated into our local church, Muroro Church, where they are camping out. Food, water, medicine, and other necessities are urgently needed to help our people. I personally drove 800 miles to reach them with a few bags of maize meal. With so many people in need, I am concerned it will not be enough. Urgent prayers are needed to cover these people during this disaster.
