This is old information, but new. Though a few people saw it ten years ago, it is a fresh post. In 2009, I had a Canadian assistant in city ministry. In his final circular from Africa, he wrote the following about our Church:
"In reflecting on the past year there is much to be thankful for in the ministry here. It may seem a bit questionable to be thankful for money, but really our budget has been more than a bit miraculous this year. One of the best years financially in the history of the church, despite a global economic recession, immense tax threats from the government and projected shortages. Clearly the hand of God was in this. In general it was a blessing to be a part of such a good congregation, without any drama or in-house fighting and nagging. Our congregation truly seems to be a group who genuinely care about each other and giving glory to God, what more could a minister ask for? And of course I am thankful for the leadership and guidance of my supervisor Thomas as well as Mirjam [my late wife]. Both these people are such a positive presence in the church, they have truly influenced me and the type of leader I might be some day."
