Kwata Community, Nigeria—From September 25-28, the brethren in Central Nigeria gathered at the Kwata church in Jos, Plateau State, for a spiritual gathering. The theme of the gathering was “Following in the Footsteps of Jesus Christ in Heaven”, based on Hebrews 4:14:
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Approximately sixty-seven brethren attended. Before the Sabbath began, the brethren participated in the Lord’s Supper and gathered for a child dedication ceremony, officiated by Brother Waeno Geoffrey Samson. We praise the Lord for the opportunity to gather and worship our Lord. Please, keep our brethren in Nigeria in our prayers.
The brethren in Germany have been taking advantage of the summer weather to offer literature in different languages to those passing through the bustling cities of Germany, including Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. Since many tourists visit the sights during this time of the year, the literature distributed was not only German, but also in English, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Romanian, Kurdish, and Turkish. Germany is a multicultural and multilingual country, and the gospel needs to be shared in every tongue. The work of translating and preparing this material is generously supported by donations from brethren and friends.
This summer, the sisters in the German Field had the opportunity to hold “Frauentag” (Women’s Day), where they prepare a theme to present to other women in the community. This year, the theme was: “Bloom Where God Planted You,” and it brought joy to all who participated. Sisters Marlena and Rosa were baptized and welcomed into God’s family. Praise God for giving us this privilege of bringing this precious message to every “nation, tribe, language, and people”.
On August 10, 2025, the brethren in the Democratic Republic of the Congo attended a centennial gathering at Limete Échangeur. It was a day of prayer, praise, and renewed commitment to God’s Word. The theme was based on Isaiah 8:20, “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
Prior to the event, on August 7, 2025, the brethren in Limete went into the local community inviting individuals to participate in the special conference. As a result, over fifty visitors were present on the special Sabbath. Brethren gathered from across the country, with over 700 individuals in attendance. Brother Simon Pierre Munda, the Union President, was the main speaker.
We thank the Lord for guiding us thus far and for the opportunity to gather on this special occasion.
