'... I will not make the same mistake again '
Cephas - Pastoring a partner church
"God help me, I will not make the same mistake again! I will prepare my preaching carefully to honor the church of Christ. Cephas leads a mostly illiterate church. He did not see the need to carefully prepare his sermons because he said "they are not able to detect if I have missed up something" He repented in front of his leadership team. Today he has adopted a new method, he uses face-to-face meetings to teach the basics of the Christian faith to each member of his church.

I could hardly contain my emotions during his humble confession. It was very meaningful for me. I visit many churches around the country, and I know Cephas is not alone 'to make that mistake'. May the Holy Spirit continue to move mightly in His Church
'... What a privilege for a tailor to represent the Saviour of the World to my customers '
Annociate - a tailor from a partner church
'My name is Annociate. I am a tailor. I have never found my role in the church ministry until I learn through the First principles' class that my workplace is mission field. It was a complete paradigm shift... I am still adjusting myself to it, but I can tell my attitude at job is no longer the same. I consider myself as a Christ embassador, a missionary... What a privilege for a tailor to represent the Saviour of the World to my customers! '
Annociate is following the fundamentals program in a partner church in the north of Bujumbura. "All of her colleagues have been telling me about her sudden change for some time, I recognized that it is since she started participating in the fundamentals class at our church" says her pastor.
