The Bishop’s New Year Message
Dear Partners,
Greetings
The year 2008 has
passed away the new year 2009 is at its dawn. I want to
use this opportunity to send my best greetings to you
all and to wish each and every one of you a Prosperous
New Year 2009. I want to thank you all for the prayers
you've offered FOR MY Diocese throughout last year and
mostly the donations that the Diocese has benefited as
generous gifts to enhance the kingdom of God in this
Diocese. May God richly bless you.
This year will be
full of challenges:
-
response to the
homeless and less equipped returnees after 35 years
of exile
-
response to the
thousands of repatriates who can't cope in the
French language schooling system
-
response to the
thousands of children who needs more schools
-
response to the
extreme poverty that people are facing
-
response to the
political situation as we approach general elections
in 2010
-
response to the
decrease of finances in the Diocese (tithes and
offerings) while the demands keep increasing
-
response to the
new church buildings which need iron sheets
-
response to
transportation and communication means for our
pastors and evangelists
Despite all those
challenges, we still have hope and we don't want to
loose it. You are therefore requested to accompany us in
this long journey through your prayers and your generous
donations, either personal or parochial. Get in contact
with us, use our address or our e-mail when you write,
or visit our UCE (Universal Chastity Education) website.
Once again I thank
you on behalf of the Diocese of Makamba for your
cooperation in enhancing the ministry of the Lord in
this part of the world.
Yours very sincerely
Rt Rev. Martin Blaise NYABOHO
Bishop of Makamba Diocese
