Special Projects
PROJECT BUNIA
Jesse Galindo will be going on a two-week missions trip to Bunia, from September 26 through October 10th, to give aid to the Shalom University Campus.
He will be flying out of Ontario, CA to Atlanta, GA, then to Amsterdam, Holland, where he will meet up with the rest of the volunteers. He will then fly to Uganda, and, finally, onto Bunia.
The upgrading of all the wiring is a key objective on his agenda.
The wire upgrading will not only secure a stable voltage but provide a safe learning environment for the students and staff.
The Library, University, student and faculty housing,
and a water well will benefit from this project.
Please pray for Jesse and his family as he prepares for, and goes on this trip! Pray also for the needed materials to be not only provided for, but arrive in a timely manner.
Thank you!

Shalom University of Bunia teaches National translators to translate the Bible into the written Word for their mother tongues. This translation degree program is brand new and conducted in French. Without this program, translation students would need to travel to Kenya and learn English for at least a year before entering a translation degree program in a university there.

Wires show a creative, but make-shift fuse system. When these fail, the electricity to the whole Campus fails.
Due to breakage, splicing and wear, the wiring system could use a complete overhaul.
During the recent civil war, many of the electrical units on the Campus have been run down and vandalized,
creating a great need to repair the faulty wiring, switches, connectors, etc.
