Nayimba Baptist Church Update

The picture below shows some of the pastors on the pastoral team of Nayimba Baptist Church, including Senior Pastor Omar Emmanuel (second picture, far right). They guide the church through evangelism, door to door preaching and crusades. The team is truly grateful for the support you have sent to them as they have managed to get work going at the school and church as you can see from the other pictures.

On the 26^th of January, the children and the youth of the church harmoniously warmed the congregation for the two services with songs, skits and preaching.

The children’s ministry offered and entertained guests on Sunday in praises, worship and skits as well as the preaching. The skit was advising us to be descent in church and to respect our leaders. The children thanked Bishop Omar and the congregation for the support rendered to them plus the funds. The children also participated in a cultural dance at the church during the service.

Gifting children

The church offerings were gifted for the children to aid them to get books and other scholastic materials that are needed for them to attend school. They prayed for the students that are heading back to school for the first term that opened-on 26^th January 2025, and others will be resuming 2^nd February 2025. One of the pupils in the picture below with the books she received.

In one of the church services, part of the congregation was able to get some funds to pay for Emmanuel Mawanda to go back to school. He hasn’t been in school for a while, so this is an answer to prayer for him. The funds will help in buying scholastic materials for him to go to school.

Construction of the church and the school.

Building of the church still continues especially the fence that is currently in the construction process at the church. Unfortunately, it is necessary to build the fence, since there have been several robberies from the church over the last year.

One of the classroom buildings is pictured below. This building will need preservatives and paint so that the termites don’t consume them within a year.

Below is a picture of another classroom building that has been built up against one of the walls of the church. The classrooms will need windows plus verandas to be added. This will help in the rainy seasons so that water doesn’t enter the classrooms.

Some classes were expanded and they will need to fix some of the holes in the floor, and then concrete over them.

Some materials have been delivered for construction like sand and bricks and there is an additional need for cement to further the building of the church fence and verandas.

Health Camp

The church will be organising a health camp at the end of the year. The picture below shows one of the activities that took place last year during the health camp. They have activities like counseling, HIV testing, optical screening plus management for blood pressure examination and many more.

Prayer requests.

The prayer requests of the church are children’s education support, God’s provision for the seminars, conferences and crusades of this year. Completion of the church premises.
