- Kolpele’s wife Rebekah is as integral to the ministry as Kolpele is. She prepares 3 meals a day, clothes and teaches the orphans, cleans the compound, manages money, and runs the household – these responsibilities are only magnified while Kolpele is at work half the year. I have had the pleasure to meet her on 3 of my trips to Chad and she embodies a Proverbs 31 woman. With that said, Kolpele has been blessed to hire support for Rebekah to help cook and clean, freeing up valuable time for Rebekah.

- Tikem, the location of one of Kopele’s church plants, has also started training seamstresses. Not only are widows being trained but also some men who will become tailors. As with the seamstress training in N’Djamena, this will provide a valuable skill set for the Chadians in the area to make money and improve the local economies. Kolpele is planning on building a full church where courses will be held, but for now training will be held in a hangar.
