After some challenging days to get to the great Congo river, we were praising God for the open doors He had prepared before us. Familiar with the life and ministry of George Grenfell and the 27 years of ministry in the 1800's traveling up the Congo River in the steamboat "Peace" preaching the gospel and starting churches, we chartered a local canoe and venture up river where God led us to a remote village with no church of any kind. On the first visit, Tim Pledger, led the chief to the Lord while Jeff Stewart preached to the villagers and had 48 come to Christ. On the next visit more were saved and Tim baptized the 73 year old chief in the Congo. Others who had been saved requested baptism and with the help from men from the local church back down river a new church began. With the help of the good members at Ebenezer Baptist Church, started by Bro. Gale Dawson years ago, we were able to see hundreds saved along the river.
