“Praise awaits you, our God in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.” (Psalm 65:1-2)
Dear Kip, Elena, and FOMM Family,
Greetings from Washington, DC! The saints here are still rejoicing after witnessing the miraculous baptism of Patrique’s mother, Varis on Sunday! The baptism of “Mommy V,” as Varis is affectionately called, is an answered prayer that has been over 22 years in the making. It was a wonder to witness Varis humble herself before the Scriptures as she accepted the word and forgave past hurts at the “young age” of 73! Varis has proven her faith through her commitment to travel over an hour to worship services – from Baltimore to Washington, DC – and she is excited to be a part of the new Baltimore Church planting start this June! It was a privilege for me and Patrique to lead Varis’ Counting the Cost study with the DC sisters, and I was inspired to see how Patrique masterfully out drew out her mother’s heart so she could be ready to make a full commitment to the LORD! (Proverbs 20:5)
In Johannesburg, the church were inspired by the baptism of a campus student at the University of Johannesburg named Tokelo! Nick Winn, our Ministry Intern, has a done a great job leading the church in my absence as he also prepares to lead the Singles Ministry to their retreat this weekend entitled, “Undivided Devotion!”
In Nigeria, the LORD added three to their number in the remnant groups at Owerri and Abuja! Please pray for the Lagos Church as they also have three predictions for this Sunday. They also witnessed the marriage of Nchedo and Olu Akuma, despite major persecution from their families. In Uganda, the church were excited to greet the new Rwandan disciples, Richard and Nadia Kamanzi, along with their son Yannick (a Paris disciple) and their daughter Queen, who is now studying the Bible with the Kampala sisters!
The Spirit continues to move powerfully in our French Africa churches as our brother Blaise Feumba reports that 109 souls were baptized into Christ in the month of April! This is remarkable after having 106 baptisms in March! May God continue to bless our efforts as we pray for the French Africa Missions Conference (FAMC) from June 2-4th and the African Mission Conference (AMC) from June 23-25th of June entitled, “SHOW ME YOUR GLORY!” (Exodus 33:18) SIGN UP NOW to register the AMC at the link below:

God is doing to do “immeasurably more” than we can ask or imagine in this Year or Miracles!
