Greetings from the Motherland of Africa & the Mid-Atlantic US!
“…with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)
Dear Kip, Elena, and FOMM Family,
Greetings from the Motherland!  The LORD blessed our fervent prayers as we witnessed 26 baptisms this week throughout the AFRICANUS World Sector!  In Johannesburg, the LORD blessed us with two campus baptisms – a South African native of Taiwanese descent, as well as a student who escaped the perils of human trafficking!  In Lagos, the church witnessed the baptism of a teen who traveled over 620 miles to study the Bible, and the Kampala Church also had another campus baptism who is eager to be a part of the future mission team to Nairobi, Kenya!  Excitingly, our brother Blaise reports that 22 souls were baptized in four French African nations!  To God be all the glory!
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
Our sister Ayanda Mpanza, a second-year student at Sedibeng TVET College, rises out of the waters of the baptism with gratitude after being saved both spiritually and physically from human trafficking in Joburg!  
Lazio Wu, a freshman business major at the University of Witwatersrand, rejoices as he rises out of the waters of baptism!  As a native South African of Taiwanese descent, Lazio speaks Zulu and Mandarin Chinese in addition to English!  
Lazio’s mother Marsha and sister Angela loved our Sunday worship service and are eager to study the Bible!  Please pray for this precious family to be united in the LORD!
LAGOS, NIGERIA
During the Lagos Midweek on Wednesday, Treasure Amadi (right) was baptized into Christ!  Treasure is 17-year-old teen who is currently applying to university – thankfully Nigeria has finally overcome strikes in their educational system that has closed many universities for over eight months!
Treasure (center right) traveled over 1000km from Jos (a northern Nigerian city) to Lagos to study the Bible and be baptized!  Her aunt, Mrs. Jacinta Adamu (second from right), reached out to her and inspired her to seek the kingdom in Lagos!  
KAMPALA, UGANDA
John V. Mugabe, (center) a senior majoring in Physics and Mathematics Education at Makerere University, was baptized on Sunday!  He had been praying for God to reveal his purpose, and is fired up to be on the mission team to Kenya next year!
God continues to gather souls in Kampala!  Please pray for this precious mission team as they strive to reach 30 disciples by the end of the year!
The Joburg Church is eager to blow out our 10X Special Missions Goal on November 20th!  God willing, we will be able to use these resources to help support church plantings in 2023!
God is gathering the nations for His glory!  Please join us in prayer for the Motherland to be evangelized in this generation as we love people from “every tribe, language, people and nation!”
