Spread the word - WE NEED A CHURCH

I had a telephone interview with a reporter from the Windsor Star yesterday.  A photographer is coming tomorrow for a picture and an article should be in the Star Tuesday, October 12.  Yeah!
Going to Belle River Lion's Club meeting to do a short presentation on Thursday Night (7th).  They made a donation last time and I pray they will again.
WE NEED A CHURCH!!!!
Anyone know of a Christian church who would like to take us under their wings and come to the village of Buwundo to teach the word of the Lord.
