2013 EAST AFRICAN CONFERENCE HIGHTLIGHTS Karen Ming, Field Representative Karen Ming, Bishop Aimee, his wife Cynthia and my interpreter. BURUNDI CONFERENCE Our Burundi Conference was a wonderful time of reconnecting with our Burundi congregations. We met Bishop Nabalera Kasongo from Northern Congo and a pastor from Rwanda. Bishop Aimee and his lovely wife Cynthia hosted the conference there in Bujumbura. I, with my team; Bonnie, Oscar, Anita, and Lupita taught pastors and leaders, youth, children and women. It again is so refreshing to see the hunger and excitement to learn, worship and meet together with people from other churches. PCG in Burundi is only three years old. We ordained Bishop Aimee in 2010 and now they have ten churches in fellowship. They are moving forward and want us to come with another conference.

EVENT CALENDAR Rev. Kincaid and I will be working together with all the bishops to have our first ALL-AFRICAN conference in Nairobi next August 28 – 30. We are beginning to plan, pray and believe this will be the beginning of something for many continents. We need finances to make this happen. Pray with us and let us see the miracles happen as we plan this great conference. Rev. Virgil Kincaid, our General World Mission’s Director came to this conference and connected with these bishops and people. He shared the word of the Lord in the evening sessions and met with pastors and leaders in a workshop and in a small group meeting. It was wonderful to see how Africa is united and ready to go forward. On Sunday after the conference, the church was filled with over 3000 people and I have never seen such worship and ministry. Thank you Bishop Nyatuka for you and your team helping make this one of the greatest events in PCG history.
