- Three members of Kolpele’s congregation have left for Douala where they are attending university. This is a major blessing since most Chadians do not have the opportunity for secondary education. Martin, Kolpele’s brother, is studying English; Felix, one of the older orphans Kolpele brought in, is studying technology; and Ernest is studying History. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Kolpele selflessly gave his laptop to the students for university since it was a requirement, so we are working on getting another laptop for Kolpele, hopefully by May.

| New Land at Gongong |
- Kolpele has purchased a new plot of land in Gongong located in the south of Chad in Fianga. While he was there, Kolpele baptized 7 people and narrowly escaped being bitten by a snake in the river.
- There have been some problems building a church at Tikem because of local politics (the township chief won’t allow building the church in the original spot). Still, there have been successes in the sewing program with several seamstresses being trained by a tailor. 1 additional sewing machine has been brought in bringing the total to 2.

As always, please keep Kolpele, his family, the orphans and the ministry in your thoughts and prayers. If you wish to assist this cause, check out Peace Gospel International or donate to the project directly with the link on the right.
