Build the Nations
Newsletter - 2 August 2009
Greetings to all of you who receive our newsletter, and many thanks for your prayers, support, and encouragement.
We are grateful to the Lord for every one of you who join with us in expanding HIS kingdom.

Active in Southern Africa
Mid July 2009 - BTN sent a mission team to Zimbabwe and Mozambique to uplift and encourage the local people. In addition to giving gifts of much needed food, fruits and vegetables to orphans and the poor, they built two co-ordination and development playgrounds especially designed for young children. The equipment will enhance their mental and physical development, giving them a sure foundation which is needed in order to develop properly at school.

Aunty Hannah

Aunty Hannah - eighty years old
Hero of Faith
Eighty-year-old Aunty Hannah trusted the Lord to help her start this Christian school  from scratch with nothing but her faith. The school has 8 classrooms now ... but little equipment, facilities, and educational materials. At eighty years old, Aunty Hannah faithfully goes to school and helps with the administration every day. Let's continue to pray that God will supply all the school's needs. BTN is assisting with various educational resources as the Lord provides.

Time for Progress
This church building in Tshisereke, rural Venda, has been standing unfinished for many years. The congregation were hugely encouraged when they moved from a shack under the roof and when we helped them build it to floor level - we want to complete the building! Please pray for provision. If anyone would like to help us get it finished, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Teaching Responsibility
Praise God for the children whoare being discipled by the team at Shayandima School of Tomorrow. Here the children are learning to take responsibility for their surroundings by recycling waste materials.

Local Church Building: A Shack with no Sides
Pastors - how would you like to have church here?!!! Believe it or not church happens under this frame. Watch and pray or sow a seed and see what the Lord does in this place.
