How it all began ...
Two visions and a phone call
In a first vision I saw myself preaching in front of masses in Brazzaville. In a following vision I saw that we received a property in Brazzaville and built a church on it. Even though at this point in time I didn't have any connection to Brazzaville whatsoever! One day my phone rang. It was Mechak, whom I had trained as a Pastor in our church in Kinshasa. He told me that he had gone to Brazzaville and found a property there, urging me to come in order to found a church!

2019 – The first missionary trip
In September 2019 I came to Brazzaville for the very first time in my life. I found a highly motivated group of people who wanted to be baptized and serve in new church. We went out on the streets and evangelised every day. During two prison visits many gave their lives to Jesus. 13 prisoners were freed shortly after my departure and joined our church. However, the circumstances were unbearable. The church consisted of a tin roof and did not have hygienic toilets. Under the sun, it heated up like in a sauna, when raining, the round became flooded. |

2020 – The second missionary trip
At the beginning of March 2020 I came to Brazzaville for the second time. Shortly after my arrival, many countries around the world announced the lockdown. We had planned a major evangelisation conference which had to be cancelled. Just before the lockdown was announced, I had the opportunity to preach at a large funeral. Afterwards, the journalist Alexis Bongo invited me for an interview in his television show. In the end, I was on TV three times, and our church became known throughout the entire Republic. Also, we found a property in a central place, and have received permission to start building the church. Thanks to this property we will soon have a location that is suitable to all classes of society!

2020/21 – The third missionary trip
In December 2020 was my third time in Brazzaville. Again lockdown. I was on several TV programs again. Important emphasis in this trip was on evangelisation and the construction of the church on the new property.

2021 – The fourth missionary trip
In August we inaugurated the church. This time I did not fly on my own to Brazzaville, but together with my sectretary Shelley Cantrick, who was to lead worship together wich local musicians during the inauguration services. Thanks to the donations of members and friends of the church, the church construction finished just in time for the inauguration. There are still some things missing, like our own chairs, air conditioning, and the like, but the inauguration services could be carried out wonderfully by the grace of God. We invited those whom we evangelized in the neighborhood. Again, I was often on TV. Not only that, but the journalist Alexis Bongo has turned into an evangelist and now serves in our newly founded church!
