Marz 1994 Re.: Recent Africa- Trip Dear Friends, thanks for all your prayers. My brother Ernst and I had a great time and felt the Lord's presence in many situations, some of them very difficult. In brief: In Kenia . Talks with Stephen Musyoka, Minister Foreign Affairs; Franklin Bett, State House; the Core Group with James Gitau and the others, including dinner in the presence of Jim Kiels- meyer and Deb. - President Moi was busy because of the IGADD (Intergovernmental Authority for Drought and Development) - summit. - In Nairobi also joint personal and confidential meeting with the Presidents of Sudan and Uganda, which will be continued. We prayed togather. - In Nairobi also meeting with General Aidid and prayer. In Uganda .. Time with President Museveni, prayer. - Overnight and time with B.K.and family; great meeting with Mike and Laura and some of their team; visit German Ambassador. In Rwanda - Overnight in the residence of US- Ambassador David Rawson, great time with him and his wife. - Time with President Habyarimana and prayer. - Time with the closest brothers Enoch Rudigiera (who just lost his brother in law, murdered by terrorists) and Juvenal Renzaho. 03/94 21:57 +49 7031 217711 ING.

They asked me to pray, as they are helpless in their situation. - Dinner in the residence of the German Ambassador with those about seven friends who could dare to go out this eavening, including Egide and former Prime- Minister Simbomana. - Several hours talk with former President Bujoja and his wife. Prayer. I feel that our friends there need us more than ever. Please let me know if you have deeper interest for more details. We experienced many miracles during those days. God is great!

During the time in Rwanda and Uganda and for a one-day-visit in Burundi Mike and Laura Timmis were part of our delegation. We are grateful for all prayers. The results are like follows: Kenya: Fellowship-meeting in the home of James Gitao with Stephen F. Mwangi, the Major of Nairobi, the German Ambassador and a few friends. We also met Bishop Kitonga at Redeemed Gospel Church and were able to contribute to their work there. During Sunday, August 1, 1993 we joined President Moi visiting the Pentecostal Church in Nairobi with a great service. In the afternoon we had a special reception through President Moi at State House. We also saw Stephen Musyoka, our friend, the Foreign Minister of the country. Subject of the talks with Stephen Musyoka has mainly been a suggestion of President Museveni to go forward with a mutual initiative of East African Presidents concerning Somalia. There appears a possibility that President Moi, President Museveni and President Zenawi from Ethiopia will take a mutual step to contribute an African aspect. I am interested in talking with somebody responsible in the US, as all those Africans are in strong opposition to the way how General Aidid is presently persecuted. This is the opinion: Following the reasons which are mentioned to condemn Aidid one can arrest quite a number of Presidents in Africa and not only from Africa. Subject of my talks has also been the difficult relationship between the Presidents of Kenya and Uganda. / -2 Burundi: Our hosts were mainly former President Buyoya and his wife Sophia. Together with the MP's and Mike and Laura Timmis 1 also visited the new President Melchior Ndadaye and some of his closest advisers. We started a good relationship with him and had prayer together. Next to our old friends Egide Nkuriyingoma, Nicodemus Nduhirubusa and all the others we met people from the new cabinet such as the Minister of Defense and a few others, the new President of the Parliament and the Leader of the opposition. A visit to the Sisters of Mutumba was also part of our program. It seems that democracy in Burundi is in a fragile situation. The country needs our prayers for inner peace. Rwanda: President Habyarimana and his wife Agathe hosted us beautifully with a big feast including dancers and drummers and with many highranking friends and public dignitaries. A few days ago only the Arusha agreement to finish the war in Rwanda was signed. The President told us that his final call to the Rwandese people was a call for prayer and for cleansing their hearts and repending towards God. Juvenal Renzaho and Enoch Rudigiera have invited friends and our group to a very inspiring prayer breakfast in our hotel. This was a great experience for all of us and very moving. We also met orphans, refugees in a hugh camp and a number of church projects. In Gisenyi, close to Goma/Zaire, we had a weekend retreat. We spent most of Sunday, August 8, 1993 in the home of Victor and Brigitte Ngzayo in Goma and had a wonderful time, but also got a deep impression of the very troubled situation of our friends in Zaire. Uganda: This was finally the highlight of our trip. The President and Janet Museveni have invited our entire delegation to a big reception in the State House Garden in the presence of the Prime Minister and highest dignitaries of Uganda as well as the entire diplomatic corps of the country. A military band was entertaining us. The German Ambassador and many others are still wandering why in the world a delegation like ours would find such an attention. Janet Museveni took us up-country and showed us projects for orphans and for vocational training. A helicopter brought us back to Kampala. The finish was finally celebrated by a one-day excursion to Queen Elizabeth Park with the helicopter of the Ugandian Army. We saw many elephants. Beyond that I had extended time to personals talks with President Museveni, mainly concerning the initiative for Somalia, his relationship to President Moi and a visit of President Habyarimana to Kampala before the end of this month. / -3 Outlook: President Habyarimana from Rwanda has announced that he is willing to come to Uganda before the end of this month. He is hereby following a suggestion which we made to him. The purpose is: After bloody war with many thousands of victims and one million refugees to open a new page in the history of the two countries. Prayers for this effort are seriously requested. We plan to open this state visit with a joined service in Kampala, with a bishop from Rwanda and a bishop from Uganda preaching. The participation of Mike and Laura was of a great help. I hope that they can assist me when I come to Kampala for that meeting of the two Presidents.

I was looking forward to meeting you in that my niece, Tiffany Comer, graduated from Xavier University on Saturday, May 14, 1994 and I heard your magnificent graduation speech. It was the most thoughtful, meaningful graduation speech I have ever heard and I have given a few. It was exactly what our young people need to hear at this most critical and pivotal time. I would also like to share my concern that some of our most needy African American young people are not likely to be greatly helped by some of the reform efforts taking place across the country despite the very important establishment of Goals 2000 and other legislation. Again, I hope we will be able to meet in the near future. Sincerely yours, Janes James P.
