</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">Greetings from Washington, DC!  Despite the recent challenges caused by a deceitful faction that has arisen within our churches, I am grateful at how these hardships have served to unite our church family and purify God&#8217;s movement.  The LORD has enabled us to strengthen and protect the hearts of many disciples across the movement as we strive to honor Jesus&#8217; sacrifice through our unity (John 17:23).  Patrique and I are grateful for the Morenos&#8217; faithful leadership as we continue to pray for God to grant us the wisdom and righteousness needed to win this lost world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">In our recently planted mission teams to Raleigh (North Carolina) and Columbia (South Carolina), their young leaders were sadly deceived and led astray by sentimental relationships and the &#8220;fine-sounding arguments&#8221; of the faction (Colossians 2:4).  Nevertheless, the mature disciples on both teams were able to stand firm and reject their baseless claims with courage and faithfulness.  Remarkably, even some baby Christians displayed the strength of their convictions as they chose to obey the Biblical direction to </span><em style="font-size: 17px;"><strong>&#8220;make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace&#8221;</strong> </em><span style="font-size: 17px;">by remaining in God&#8217;s movement.</span><em style="font-size: 17px;"> </em><span style="font-size: 17px;">(Ephesians 4:3-4).  We look forward to replanting these great cities with leaders of integrity in the near future!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">God has blessed our perseverance through these trials as He continues to forcefully advance our efforts across the mid-Atlantic and the Motherland of Africa!  Blaise &amp; Patricia Feumba and all of our French Africa leaders are united with God&#8217;s movement as we continue to forcefully advance the kingdom and strengthen our congregations despite Satan&#8217;s schemes.  We are family&#8230;to the End!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><strong>Dear Raul, Lynda and FOMM Family,</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Immediately after an inspiring ICLS in Chicago, we celebrated the planting of our first Portuguese-speaking church on the Motherland of Africa &#8211; Maputo, Mozambique!!  It was a privilege to come from Washington DC and welcome Raul &amp; Lynda (Mexico City) along with several disciples from Johannesburg (South Africa) and Lusaka (Zambia) for this historic planting last weekend.  It was a dream come true for our dear sister, Dr. Carol Nhavoto, a native Mozambican who was converted by a DC sister, Tina Nwachukwu (now Dhladhla), back in 2013 while Carol was attending a medical conference in Paris, France. </span><span style="font-size: 17px;"> Carol is a cardiologist who returned to Maputo and remained connected with our movement for over a decade, persevering in her faith while also being fruitful with her sister, Tânia, who is a dentist!  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Despite their hectic schedule, Patrique and I were grateful for the Morenos&#8217; joining us in Maputo, as we had previously worked together years earlier to find a solution to plant the Portuguese-speaking nations of Africa through the sacrifice of our São Paulo (Brazil) church, led by the Morenos&#8217; son and daughter in the faith, Vini &amp; Bia Rodrigues.  This talented young couple was eager to send four members of their church to be trained by us in Johannesburg back in 2022: Yuri Lauriano de Oliveira, Samara Santos, Bruna Oliveira, and José Brandão!  It was a joy to train these young disciples to become a powerful mission team for Maputo with the Nhavoto sisters and a Joburg disciple, Musa Sibiya.  With 31 disciples in attendance during their Inaugural Service, this small yet mighty team of eight disciples had 118 in attendance with 15 children and 80 visitors!  They have already baptized a campus student named Victor!  The day was truly a victory for the LORD!</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><strong>Dear Raul, Lynda and FOMM Family,</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Immediately after an inspiring ICLS in Chicago, we celebrated the planting of our first Portuguese-speaking church on the Motherland of Africa &#8211; Maputo, Mozambique!!  It was a privilege to come from Washington DC and welcome Raul &amp; Lynda (Mexico City) along with several disciples from Johannesburg (South Africa) and Lusaka (Zambia) for this historic planting last weekend.  It was a dream come true for our dear sister, Dr. Carol Nhavoto, a native Mozambican who was converted by a DC sister, Tina Nwachukwu (now Dhladhla), back in 2013 while Carol was attending a medical conference in Paris, France. </span><span style="font-size: 17px;"> Carol is a cardiologist who returned to Maputo and remained connected with our movement for over a decade, persevering in her faith while also being fruitful with her sister, Tânia, who is a dentist!  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Despite their hectic schedule, Patrique and I were grateful for the Morenos&#8217; joining us in Maputo, as we had previously worked together years earlier to find a solution to plant the Portuguese-speaking nations of Africa through the sacrifice of our São Paulo (Brazil) church, led by the Morenos&#8217; son and daughter in the faith, Vini &amp; Bia Rodrigues.  This talented young couple was eager to send four members of their church to be trained by us in Johannesburg back in 2022: Yuri Lauriano de Oliveira, Samara Santos, Bruna Oliveira, and José Brandão!  It was a joy to train these young disciples to become a powerful mission team for Maputo with the Nhavoto sisters and a Joburg disciple, Musa Sibiya.  With 31 disciples in attendance during their Inaugural Service, this small yet mighty team of eight disciples had 118 in attendance with 15 children and 80 visitors!  They have already baptized a campus student named Victor!  The day was truly a victory for the LORD!</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><strong>Dear Raul, Lynda and FOMM Family,</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Immediately after an inspiring ICLS in Chicago, we celebrated the planting of our first Portuguese-speaking church on the Motherland of Africa &#8211; Maputo, Mozambique!!  It was a privilege to come from Washington DC and welcome Raul &amp; Lynda (Mexico City) along with several disciples from Johannesburg (South Africa) and Lusaka (Zambia) for this historic planting last weekend.  It was a dream come true for our dear sister, Dr. Carol Nhavoto, a native Mozambican who was converted by a DC sister, Tina Nwachukwu (now Dhladhla), back in 2013 while Carol was attending a medical conference in Paris, France. </span><span style="font-size: 17px;"> Carol is a cardiologist who returned to Maputo and remained connected with our movement for over a decade, persevering in her faith while also being fruitful with her sister, Tânia, who is a dentist!  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Despite their hectic schedule, Patrique and I were grateful for the Morenos&#8217; joining us in Maputo, as we had previously worked together years earlier to find a solution to plant the Portuguese-speaking nations of Africa through the sacrifice of our São Paulo (Brazil) church, led by the Morenos&#8217; son and daughter in the faith, Vini &amp; Bia Rodrigues.  This talented young couple was eager to send four members of their church to be trained by us in Johannesburg back in 2022: Yuri Lauriano de Oliveira, Samara Santos, Bruna Oliveira, and José Brandão!  It was a joy to train these young disciples to become a powerful mission team for Maputo with the Nhavoto sisters and a Joburg disciple, Musa Sibiya.  With 31 disciples in attendance during their Inaugural Service, this small yet mighty team of eight disciples had 118 in attendance with 15 children and 80 visitors!  They have already baptized a campus student named Victor!  The day was truly a victory for the LORD!</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><strong>Dear Raul, Lynda and FOMM Family,</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Immediately after an inspiring ICLS in Chicago, we celebrated the planting of our first Portuguese-speaking church on the Motherland of Africa &#8211; Maputo, Mozambique!!  It was a privilege to come from Washington DC and welcome Raul &amp; Lynda (Mexico City) along with several disciples from Johannesburg (South Africa) and Lusaka (Zambia) for this historic planting last weekend.  It was a dream come true for our dear sister, Dr. Carol Nhavoto, a native Mozambican who was converted by a DC sister, Tina Nwachukwu (now Dhladhla), back in 2013 while Carol was attending a medical conference in Paris, France. </span><span style="font-size: 17px;"> Carol is a cardiologist who returned to Maputo and remained connected with our movement for over a decade, persevering in her faith while also being fruitful with her sister, Tânia, who is a dentist!  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 17px;">Despite their hectic schedule, Patrique and I were grateful for the Morenos&#8217; joining us in Maputo, as we had previously worked together years earlier to find a solution to plant the Portuguese-speaking nations of Africa through the sacrifice of our São Paulo (Brazil) church, led by the Morenos&#8217; son and daughter in the faith, Vini &amp; Bia Rodrigues.  This talented young couple was eager to send four members of their church to be trained by us in Johannesburg back in 2022: Yuri Lauriano de Oliveira, Samara Santos, Bruna Oliveira, and José Brandão!  It was a joy to train these young disciples to become a powerful mission team for Maputo with the Nhavoto sisters and a Joburg disciple, Musa Sibiya.  With 31 disciples in attendance during their Inaugural Service, this small yet mighty team of eight disciples had 118 in attendance with 15 children and 80 visitors!  They have already baptized a campus student named Victor!  The day was truly a victory for the LORD!</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dear Kip, Elena, and FOMM Family,</strong></div>
<div>
<p>It was great to be in Los Angeles!  THANK YOU to our LA Family for a tremendous greeting last week as we visited LA to meet the mission team members who will be participating in <strong>Operation Rome</strong> &#8211; the plan to plant churches in Columbia (SC), Raleigh (NC) and supplement our efforts in Washington, DC!  It was also a joy to spend time with the McKeans and the Dimitrys as we dreamed together to complete Operation Eagle this fall.  Patrique and I are grateful for the extraordinary sacrifice of the City of Angeles Church to supply the members for these valiant mission teams!</p>
<p>In English-speaking Africa, God blessed us with good news over the past two weeks throughout the different regions of the Motherland.  In <strong>West Africa</strong>, we rejoiced in two campus baptisms in Accra and the sending out of Christine Adamu to serve as the Women&#8217;s Leader for the Lusaka (Zambia) Church.  The Lagos Church celebrated the 50th Wedding Anniversary of Dr. Benedict &amp; Felicia Atason, as well as two successful Women&#8217;s Days!</p>
<p>In <strong>East Africa</strong>, God answered our prayers as the visas of Tolani &amp; Kate Abiodun were finally returned along with the church&#8217;s bail money after they were unlawfully detained.  The arrival of Tebo Simon and Dolapo Ogunbadejo was also a welcome help in serving the ministry as Kate Abiodun is pregnant with their second child.  The Kampala Church leaders, Deji &amp; Gbemi Aregbesola, were encouraged as they received 168,000UGX (around $44) from a childhood friend in Nigeria despite the dire economic situation present there.  Please pray as this young church as they prepare for their first special mission contribution!</p>
<p>In <strong>Southern Africa</strong>, the Johannesburg Church rejoiced in the baptism of a single video production manager who overcame homosexuality to make Jesus LORD, and the Lusaka Church welcomed the arrival of Christine Alamu from Accra as they are strengthened by the leadership of their new Evangelist, Nick Winn.  Please continue to pray for our efforts throughout the Motherland as we strive to baptize disciples only.  It was also inspiring to hear the report from our brother Blaise Feumba about the 37 baptisms in 13 churches in French Africa over the last two weeks.  The Spirit continues to move powerfully!</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dear Kip, Elena, and FOMM Family,</strong></div>
<div></div>
<p>Greetings from South Africa!  We just completed our first-ever Southern Africa Missions Conference (SALC) entitled, &#8220;GOD IS ABLE,&#8221; hosted by our sister church in Johannesburg!  Many disciples commented that it was a &#8220;life-changing&#8221; time of inspiration and fellowship while experiencing the beautiful South African culture and landscape.  From Thursday, March 7th to Sunday, March 10th, 30 visiting disciples from the US, UK, UAE, Zambia and Mozambique were welcomed to Johannesburg as we dreamed for the evangelization of the 10 countries of Southern Africa! Patrique and I were encouraged with the faith of the Washington DC and Delaware disciples as 16 members (14 from Washington DC and two from Delaware) sacrificed to travel the 7000 miles to join the saints in Joburg.  With 130 souls in attendance, the highlights of the Sunday Worship Service was the baptism of a campus student named Akuna; the appointment of Nick Winn as an Evangelist; and the sending out the Maputo (Mozambique) Mission Team <em><strong>&#8220;for the display of (God&#8217;s) splendor!&#8221;</strong></em>  The Johannesburg Church is also to be commended, as their efforts to raise funds for Special Missions were vital to the success of the SALC &#8211; no funds were requested for missions for this dynamic conference &#8211; it was almost entirely funded with &#8220;African&#8221; monies! Personally, it was a joy for Patrique and me to welcome our dear friends and fellow WSLs, Michael &amp; Michele Williamson, to Johannesburg as keynote speakers for the conference!  Remarkably, Michael and Michele were also able to celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary and Michele&#8217;s spiritual birthday while with us!  After the SALC concluded on Sunday, I had the privilege to travel to Maputo, Mozambique for a &#8220;scouting trip&#8221; with a dear &#8220;adopted son&#8221; in the faith and the leader of the Maputo Mission Team, Yuri Oliveira.  Yuri, along with Samara Santos and Bruna Oliveria (no relation) were graciously sent to South Africa from our sister church in São Paolo (Brazil) for training last February.  Along with a South African brother, Musa Sibiya and two Mozambican sisters (Drs. Carol and Tânia Nhavoto) this valiant mission team of six souls are eager to plant our first Portuguese-speaking nation on the continent of Africa &#8211; Mozambique! In English-speaking Africa, the LORD blessed the Joburg Church with two campus baptisms on Sunday and Monday from the University of Johannesburg (UJ), which has grown from 0 to 9 disciples at UJ over the past year.  Our sister churches in Kampala (Uganda) and Accra (Ghana) also had campus baptisms, and our brother Blaise Feumba reported that the 19 French Africa churches celebrated 19 souls baptized this week!  Please pray for my family as we return to Washington DC on Monday after I preach for the Joburg saints on Sunday.  The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of faith and inspiration that is already raising up men and women to be used powerfully by God!</td>
