Naphtally & Helida Ogallo

Native workers in Eldoret, Kenya, generally a poor area with many needs. Naphtally sends regular prayer letters. We financially supported them for a while but they are not in need of regular support at present but we have given to their building project recently.
Here is a video they have put together about their church.

Naphtally says: “My name is Naphtally Ogallo. My wife’s name is Helida and we have two grown up children, Tim and Liz. The Lord saved me in 1971 and began to change my life. I served in Reformed Baptist church in Nairobi for about 23 years till 2006 then moved to Eldoret following illness in my family. In God’s providence, He led me to begin a church plant in Eldoret in the same year. The Lord has led us by His grace as a church through many experiences. We have a membership of 35.

Eldoret is a big town boasting of close to half a million people. It is mainly an educational town with many institutions of learning. As such, we have many college going students attending our church and several of them become members. However, after their graduation, these students tend to move to the cities for employment. Please pray that we will remain faithful in proclaiming Christ and Him crucified and that the Lord will continue to build
His church.

Neto Moraes

Ludgero Moraes Neto is involved with Christian leadership and some training in Brazil and Portugal.

Since 2017, Neto has been connected to Christ Church through the preaching training efforts in Brazil and in 2012 he was even part of our church family at Haywards Heath, when he came to UK to study at the Cornhill Institute in London.

Ludgero Neto is married to Juliana with children: Gabriela, Giovana, Felipe and Davi. They now serve the Lord in João Pessoa, in the northeast of Brazil.
Neto is a church planter leading a small Christian community with other 11 families.

He writes: “What drives us is the love of the Word of God. Unfortunately we came to see that in a city with over 800 thousand inhabitants there are just a few churches that preach the Word of God with to glorify the name of Jesus and to promote holy hearts to His people. My personal activities involved preaching (Twice every Sunday and once a week), discipling (8 to 10 weekly meetings with the men in our church), evangelism (3 to 5 individual bible studies with non Christians that are seeking the knowledge of God), visiting the families of the church (twice a week) and leading/bible teaching in our local Homeschool Community (every
Thursday) that serves 33 families.
Please pray that our church grows so we can promote “the faith of God’s elect
and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began2 3 and hat the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching.”
(Titus 1.1-3)

Pedro Barbosa

Serving the Lord in church ministry and training pastors in Portugal.

Pedro writes: “We are the Barbosa family (Pedro, Graça, Pedro, and Ana). We are Portuguese but we have been trained in Brazil. While serving the Lord through the ministry of planting a new church in the Greater Lisbon area (Igreja Bíblica), we started co-operating with other church planting projects in Portugal. We also serve in the training
of believers in expository preaching and biblical counselling. Our children have been working with us in the local church and both are studying and teaching music. Pedro is studying management
and Ana speech therapy at university.

Lion of Judah

Lion of Judah is an indie-pop band from Brighton, England. Experiencing crippling anxiety, musician Josh Bannister did what he’d never done before: he wrote songs to God. Together with Isaac Bannister, Dave Blight, Adam Nicholls, and Matthew Knight, Josh created a brand of music virtually unheard of in the UK. By putting on shows, touring across the country, and landing various festivals, Lion of Judah introduced themselves to the Christian genre and showed the genre what it could be.
After finding a partnership with Gospel Song Records, Lion of Judah began writing their debut full length. Each of their releases promises something new and unexpected, and their latest endeavor, entitled Closer, is no exception. The rock meets indie-pop record is an ode to intimacy; it throws traditional worship music out the window, opting instead for bright instrumentation with subtle nods to influences like Phil Collins and The 1975. The project highlights a man desperate for communion with God, with unabashed and sincere lyrics that beckon deep reflection.
Believing in the contagious nature of honesty, Lion of Judah utilizes transparency to stir it up in others. And their uniquely British tone—from the grittiness in their lyrics to the very style of Bannister’s vocals—illuminates a group determined to employ every facet of themselves in their
art.
