News from our sister church in Tanzania, Africa: This
month on April 29th 2010 is Pastor George and Joyce Makala's 10th wedding anniversary. Of course, they would like to thank
God and are planning to have a little celebration. They ask for us to remember them in our prayers.
Remember: We

Pastor George Makala visited and brought the Message for the day; also reported that all is well in
Tanzania, Africa; and expressed love and gratitude to the St. Paul family for all of their prayers and monetary support.
God has already defeated the devil; Job 1:1, when Satan came on the scene, God recognized him and set the boundaries
for Satan to attack Job; Satan could only operate under God's conditions. God will fight our battles... and we will
win! Based on the New Testament, we also believe that Jesus defeated Satan when He went to the cross and died for all
of man's sin; with Jesus' death, we have the eternal victory. Jude 1:9 - the archangel Michael did not try to defeat
Satan in their dispute, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
The devil cannot kill us; he can only tempt
us and attempt to discourage our faith in God. Romans 8:6 - to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace; those controlled by a sinful nature cannot please God. The tongue is the key to
life and death - Proverbs 18:21; if/when we choose to speak negatively, we prophesize negativity; if/when we choose to speak
love and peace, we can look forward to love and peace in our lives.

Praise
Report from Pastor George Makala, Tanzania, Africa...
Greeting in Jesus'
Name!
I am writing to report to you that after much agonizing and waiting, on September 14th electricity
was connected to our church.
Thank you for your untiring
prayer and support that made it possible to cover costs for this electricity. As a result, now we can start numerous
projects which require electricity to operate. Otherwise, our ministry will improve as we can start holding night prayers
and meetings. We are now in a position to organize musical concerts, crusades, seminars and conferences.
I will be sending photos soon to you!!!

Dear friends,
Greetings from Dar es salaam, Tanzania.
I Pray this letter finds
you well and encouraged in the Lord.
We continue to thank God for his goodness and his sustenence. He has
kept us and we continue to trust him inspite of numerous challenges.
April is a rainy season in Tanzania.
The ongoing rains come with many challenges. One of those challenges is flash floods that follow torrential downpour. Our
city lacks drainage system and when it does rain water spreads everywhere.
Our church is located in a low
lying area. Since we have not built a fence wall to keep water out our property is often flooded making it impossible to gather
for services in these occassions.
Last sunday we had to cancel service because the driveway to church and
the property in general was flooded. The solution for this problem is to built a WALL around church property. In the mean
time we need to improve on our driveway.
Please receive these photos which show what we have been doing to
secure our driveway so it is useful and safe to use in all weather. Each of those 18 tonne truckloads of dirt (crushed
dust) costs $60. we need to fill the propert to raise the general level. To raise the entire level would cost about $20,000.
What we are focussing now is to work on the driveway. Which would cost $3000 to completion.
Please
pray for provision.
We pray God's favor and grace for you and your families,
Pastor
George
