AFRICA

Hanneke Cost Budde, Tabora, Tanzania.

Hanneke was born in Holland and then moved to Canada, her training was in education and counselling high need youth. While attending a mission conference at Knox, Hanneke felt called to work with children in Tanzania through Africa Inland Mission. "This year I will have been in Africa for 26 years!!! Amazing how time flies! Since January 2010 I have been assigned to the diocese of Tabora as the Coordinator of Social Services which has a project just outside Tabora town. The project covers 3 villages. The work involves: helping people living with HIV/AIDS, and their families, helping orphans to get into the public schools as many cannot go due to lack of uniforms and school supplies which we provide, mobilizing and supporting the local health authorities to provide health services to the people living in remote areas, etc. We now have 73 orphaned children registered who need help with school uniforms, school supplies, and sandals. Many of these orphans are living with very elderly grandparents and many of these children are malnourished and are suffering from different illnesses like malaria, typhoid, worm infestations, fungus and some have HIV/AIDS. We receive many elderly people who have been deserted by relatives and are struggling to stay alive. Many lack the strength to cultivate and many are suffering from undernourishment and related diseases. The people are lacking clean and safe water and women have to try and get it during the night in order to avoid the huge line-ups during the day. This is putting them in danger of animals and men. Two years ago, we were finally able to get a company to drill a borehole and the people in Manoelo now have pure and sweet drinking water.

On the home front: I also have the responsibility of raising several wonderful children (Youth). Since moving to Tabora some kids I was helping while working in Shinyanga have joined my happy family as well. At one point I had 10 kids but now I have seven living with me. Two of them finished their education: Mayaya, who became a disappointment and had to leave, Margreth who is now working at an orphanage and often she oversees the workers. The kids and workers love her and so do we. She often comes home on her days off. The boy, Mayunga also was not able to follow the rules and I send him to his family after he finished Form 4. He is now selling fruits in his area and cultivates.

Of the seven who remain are: Mahona, my albino youth, who is probably well known by many is truly amazing! Mahona 24, is now in his second year of doing his Master's in Administration for education and is doing extremely well.

Ngassa 22, who is the youth suffering from Osteomyelitis, is now in Form 4 and will do his final exam this year. After 8 years we finally were able to get his wound closed. Praise God!! We are looking into training for vocational training as he is good with his hands but has difficulties studying.

Mfaume 21, is studying Pharmacy and is loving it. He has to resit his Physic's exam for Form 4 in order to continue his pharmaceutical studies.

Jacqueline 17, is now in Form two and loves her school. Her marks are slowly improving she feels encouraged. Do pray for her health as lately she has had quite a struggle and the doctors finally found that she has ulcers. She is using many antibiotics and some medicine to calm her stomach upsets. We thank God that she is improving.

Kiri 15, is now in Form One and also loves her school. She is doing very well and is happy to be close to her big sister. They are in the same boarding school.

Baraka13 will finish his Primary school this week! Wow! I hope that next year he also will go to the same High school as it is a very good school and he needs structure and firm rules.

Faraja 11 is now in standard 5 and is doing well. He will miss Baraka at his school. I need to take him to a urologist next month for a check-up.

My goal for the kids is to walk with the Lord and to succeed in their studies so they will serve God and their country well. Also, my prayers are that as they mature and form their own families they will pass on the love, care and teachings they received at our home to their spouses and children.

Bill Fitch, Listen to Learn, East Africa.

Bill is the director of Listen to Learn International. Listen to Learn uses audio teaching from renowned Bible expositors from around the world and creates a simultaneous dubbed translation into multiple indigenous languages. These audio teaching materials, now accessible to those without English, are made available to rural African pastors on pocket-sized MP3 players which are provided to each student. By having a Bible school come right to them where they live and serve, these pastors can prepare their messages while they continue to plow their fields during the week. His dear wife Peggy went home to be with Jesus [December 20, 2013] after a joyful and productive life.

Leah Hopp, Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) Uganda.

I thank the Lord for his faithfulness since 2009 sustaining me in ministry in rural, northeastern Uganda (Karamoja region). Eyai Akuj! God is with us!

He is at work in Nakapiripirit disctrict and it is a privilege to gain glimpses of his glory in the lives of my neighbours. Having started a Community Health Team (CHT) in 2009 to support the work of the mission clinic, it is my pleasure to now work with six health teachers: Naduk Olivia, Akol Josephine, Nakut Claudia, Opie Carolyn, Kocho Betty, and Lodim Moses. I have trained them to teach on various health topics as they visit their neighbours in the nearby homes. Being sent out on foot, two by two, they also teach in two local primary schools and a kindergarten. Melda, a clinician at Akisyon a Yesu Presbyterian Clinic (AYPC), has done a great job recently supervising the CHT and will continue while I am on furlough for the summer of 2022. Please pray that she and I will continue to work well together when I return to Uganda as we brainstorm about community health ideas regularly. Lessons on hygiene and sanitation are taught daily in six different villages located within a one-hour walk from the mission clinic. Some other common topics of teaching include: respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal illnesses, infectious diseases, as well as maternal and child health. Because my neighbours now have more knowledge about how to care for their family’s health at home, we are seeing some behaviour change implemented as well.

For more insight into the burden of disease in Nakaale, please read and download the research article that I just had published in the journal of PLOS Global Public Health, based on data from our mission clinic.

The Pastor's Book Sets started in Ghana, since then PBS has grown and spread through three continents, in five languages covering thirty-six countries. God used Jim's vision for a one volume ‘Africa Bible Commentary' and a talented team produced the Africa Bible Commentary; Seventy African Scholars wrote on various portions of the Bible. We praise God for His blessing on the Africa Bible Commentary (ABC) for Africa and around the world. The Africa Bible Commentary in English was published and launched in Nairobi, July 2006, the French was launched November 2008; Portuguese (Angola and Mozambique) 2010, Swahili in 2010, Malagasy in 2014.

Pam Stedman.

"As a teenager at a Christian camp, I had asked Christ to come into my heart. Shortly after, ... I felt that the Lord wanted me to be a missionary, ultimately to help provide health care for the native people who had no medical services in the high Andes Mountains. How God provided when my money ran out is another story that proves what my pastor in Jamaica had told me: "God's finger that points the way is a part of His hand that will provide.

"I studied at Moody and was then persuaded that I should go to Toronto General Hospital to do nursing studies.

My first Sunday in Toronto, Amy, a friend, came to the hospital and took me by streetcar and bus to the morning service at Knox. Knox was my home church for some 30+ years. Knox Young Adults was close to my heart and had a part in my spiritual growth and my support on the mission field. Knox ministers counselled me, and it was a Knox minister (George Lowe) who persuaded me that I should become a Canadian citizen because he was concerned for my retirement years. Eventually, a tropical disease (filariasis) affected my legs with inability to stand for long, and I was unable to return to Ecuador - the country that God had called me to, and where I thought I would die and be buried!

"On my return to Canada, God provided a hospital job that involved staff education, so not much standing.... Ian Rennie at Knox told me about a position at Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener where the Lord graciously gave me the privilege of continuing to have a part in preparing others for ministry and missions. Since retiring I've had the privilege of being a volunteer instructor/mentor for prisoners who are doing Bible study courses. Sometimes I'm tempted to quit but the Lord reminds me that serving him is a privilege; and the mission field is all around us!

"I appreciate being able to pray through Knox Missions items on the web."

Jack and Mary Anne Voelkel.

Jack was born in Korea of Presbyterian missionary parents and met Mary Anne at Wheaton College. They were married after Mary Anne finished her nursing degree and following Jack's studies at Princeton Seminary, were asked by the Presbyterian Church in Canada to found a congregation in Port Cartier, Quebec. Dr. Fitch asked Jack to be his assistant at Knox in 1963. In 1965, together with their three children (Alan, Jon, and Lisa) the Voelkels began their missionary activities in Latin America under the Latin America Mission. They pioneered a university student ministry in Colombia which they helped lead for 20 years and then taught in the Biblical Seminary of Colombia for 10 years where Jack founded the mission's department. Along the way, Mary Anne picked up a Master's degree from Wheaton College and Jack a Doctor of Missiology degree from Fuller School of World Mission. In 1999, InterVarsity USA invited the Voelkels to return to North America to help with the preparation of the Urbana Student Mission Convention. Mary Anne was especially instrumental in promoting prayer and intercession which over the years has had an impact on the whole InterVarsity movement. Recently, Jack served as Interim President of the Latin America Mission until March of 2009. Now once again based in Tucson, Arizona, the Voelkels are leaders in their local church, are reaching out to their new neighbors after moving, and respond to opportunities to speak at conferences in Canada, Colombia, and the U.S.

Rosemary Walker, AIM, Quebec Mobilizer.

Having returned from Tanzania, where I was teaching English and touch typing, and teaching a Sunday afternoon community Bible class, I am now helping AIM Canada prepare to launch their new French web site by French texts from Google Translate! I really like this kind of work, and have a French-Canadian pastor and his wife, Gilles and Lois, who are helping me make sure that my French is acceptable. :) God willing, I'm to retire on December 31st, but hope, if the Lord opens the door, to get back to Africa (Democratic Republic of Congo and/or Tanzania) in the new year on a short-term mission.
