“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4)

Ministry in Great Yarmouth – UK

The Lord has been wonderful to us in everything has blessed the work of our hands.

We have seen the ministry in Great Yarmouth, grow in number and in grace every day. The Lord has confirmed our call to this place and has shown his love and affection towards those who are marginalized by society.

Great Yarmouth is the city in the UK with the largest number of people with mental health problems. We have had the grace of God and the necessary wisdom to take care of those whom He has entrusted to us.

On Easter Day we had the joy of baptizing 6 brothers and sisters. It was a bilingual service, for at the same occasion a sister of the English-speaking congregation was baptized as well. What a blessed service! Brothers and sisters being baptized into Christ to live a new life in him. Glory to God!

Ministry in Albania

In Albania the Lord has also been generous towards his people. The work has grown and they have been blessed by a Christian organization and the European Baptist Federation, which will build a new temple for the Church right in the center of the city. Pr. Edmond Palucaj is very happy. In a conversation I had with him, he expressed his gratitude to the Lord

This is the realization of a dream that the church always had; to have a building that is seen and regarded as a Christian presence right in the town centre. God is good again

Ministry in Kikavu – Tanzania

The construction of the health unit for women & children and specialization in diabetes, is going at full throttle. We believe that it is going to be finished by the end of the year.

This unit will be very important for the small village of Kikavu and its surroundings. Last year more than 11 pregnant women died before arriving at the hospital in time for childbirth.

Pray that the necessary finances will be met. Find more here: www.healthamplifier.org
