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.

sessions with speakers from across Africa and
America. Leaders, children, and children’s workers

APPRECIATIONS
I want to thank my team. They took care of hundreds of
children, youth, and women. Bro Kincaid and I focused
on the pastors and leaders. Thank you for those who
helped with support for these conferences. We were able
to give almost $5,000.00 to complete the kitchen in the
Kenyan orphanage.
There were five bishops with delegations at the
conference. The bishop of Tanzania, Zambia, Burundi,
Congo and Kenya were there uniting in fellowship,
prayer and worship. It was wonderful to see people from
five countries joined in vision and worship.
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.
