We are about to complete a first time effort at a Micro-business in advancing our mission in Congo. This weekend we are packing the Woodmizer portable sawmill for shipment to Congo.
This has been a $30,000+ project with African Christian Mission. Ed and Brenda Buell have worked hard at finding a way to help Christians in Bukavu, Congo with a way to work and as a result help the churches also. There is 600 acres of trees available for harvesting. This is a way of teaching people to fish and not just giving them a fish.
Our family at MCC have really stretched in their giving to make this project a reality. God’s people are awesome!
A team will be leaving in August to help train some people and get the sawmill up and running once it completes its journey.
My prayer is that God will use this effort to feed people and grow His Church!
