- NEWS FLASH - The technical team is on the road once again for last 2 hours, the truck is pulling well.They will spend the night at Mbalala. #
Technical Team broken down in Uganda.
On the return journey from Rwanda our big truck began to have clutch problems. We managed to find a mechanic and replace the clutch plate and get the pressure plate skimmed. A huge job considering where the team had broken down. After a couple of hours on the road the “new” clutch again burnt out! We can only assume that as this was not an original clutch, that the refurbished clutch was relined with poor materials and simply did not last. Please join us in prayer to find a good quality and correct spare part and get it fitted again. At this moment it is not possible to move on.
Urgently needs repair
The original spare part is available only in Europe. We are now working on an immediate solution to get the truck back to Nairobi . Of course later we will have to do all these repairs with original spares.
What we need now is to find a good mechanic- the right spares- strength for the team- then that everything would be refitted and the team move on to Nairobi.
Please agree with us in prayer for God’s solution and help.

Butare Sunday morning.
Again a large number of students packed the grand stand and listened to every word that was preached. The Gospel is for everyone, and must be proclaimed to everyone. No sooner had we finished at the campus we went to Zion Temple A wonderful vibrant church. I spoke on the heartbeat of God, EVANGELISM. Jesus is alive. He is saving multitudes here, He is healing and He is baptising into the Holy Spirit. Butare testifies to this fact, Jesus is alive. We have the final meeting this afternoon. Please remember us in Prayer and agree with us for a powerful demonstration of Gods spirit. In Salvation and in Healing.
Roger & Shireen and the whole RFM team.
Butare Saturday night 13 September.
Saturday is always our Holy Spirit day.
I always say that God gave this wonderful promise. He wants to give it to you, and all we have to do is come to receive what he promised. Not beg God for what He has already promised. Then to illustrate this point I promise the first child that believes and comes 1000 Franks. I had two 500 notes carefully prepared in my pocket folded together. I then made the promise – a sharp little boy jumped up immediately and ran up the stairs onto the stage to receive what I had promised. I handed him the two folded 500-franc notes. He looked at me and said, “You promised 1,000 this is only 500!” I used this opportunity immediately. The young boy knew exactly what was promised and was not willing to go home without all that I had promised. When we come to Jesus we must receive all he promised, don’t be satisfied to go home with half! The crowd caught the point and many received the baptism into the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Saturday was a day of Salvation, a day of The FIRE of God, and a day of healing. A young lady who had suffered with severe pain and was hardly able to walk jumped and praised God on the stage. (see attached picture)
We then went on to the university campus and preached a powerful salvation and commitment message to over 600 students that had gathered.
Today is our final meeting in the stadium. We have the Campus again this morning and a church in the city. Please pray with us for a day of harvest. Also for Gods protection as we travel immediately after the final service.
Yours from Butare Rwanda,
Roger & Shireen and the whole RFM team.
Butare weekend
Double crusade planned for weekend.
Today and tomorrow we have a double opportunity for harvesting. Once in the city stadium and once in the Campus sports stadium. What a privilege to proclaim the Good News and to plunder hell and populate heaven. Have a look at some of the close ups and see how moved these precious people are. Every huge crowd is made up of individuals like these who meet with Jesus. *Wonderful Healing* Regina Mukankundiye was completely deaf in one ear and struggled to hear from the other ear for 30 years! Jesus touched Regina and opened the deaf ear! She can now hear the smallest whisper from both ears. It is wonderful to see how the Lord is drawing people off the streets, several prostitutes have come to surrender their lives to Jesus. Please continue to pray for a mighty harvest of souls this weekend. That this city would truly be impacted by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Butare Miracle of healing.
Field update.
Eric Habimana a 16 year old lad. He had a recurrent tumour on his neck causing him to suffer surgery 10 times without success! The tumour had returned tormenting him for the past 1month and now he was scheduled for another surgery. The 1st day of the crusade the tumour growth burst and he had the yellow liquid coming out all night. The next day he was much better no more pain and the growth was hardly visible.

Ndayambaje Augustin, a 55year old gentleman. Had suffered 2 years without clear sight, he could no more read but now touched by the power of God can see and read once again.
The greatest miracle is however the salvation of the Lost. Each night people have streamed forward to receive Jesus as their Lord and saviour. Tomorrow we start a 3 days of meetings at the university campus. So its a double harvest over the weekend! Please continue to pray for us.
Roger & Shireen and the whole RFM team.

Who is Jesus to you
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus Christ the son of the Living God is the friend to the friendless - He is the physician for the sick He is the physiatrist for the confused - He is the provider for those who don’t have - He is the compass for the traveler
* He is the healer of every disease- * He is the forgiver of every sin- * He is the deliverer from every evil demon and addiction - * He is the one Herod could not destroy - * He is the one the devil could not entice into sin - * He is the one the grave could not keep - * He is the one who rose from the dead - * He is the Christ the Son of the Living God - * He is the King of Kings and the Lord of lords - the PERFECT Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
