Yesterday I mentioned that I would share with you what I consider to be some of the points of light in the C.A.R. One of the brightest ones is CIDEL (the Center International for the Development of Ethical Leadership). This ministry organization was founded by the man who invited us to come to the C.A.R. - the Rev. Dr. Augustin Hibaile (the photo is of Dr. Hibaile, his wife Marie-Helene and me). For many years, Dr. Hibaile was on the faculty of one of the Grace Brethren Bible institutes in the C.A.R. Five years ago, God led Dr. Hibaile out of the classroom and into secular society - and CIDEL was born. The C.A.R. is ripe with corruption. And the pervasiveness of this corruption is one of the many obstacles hindering the fight against the horrendous poverty of the country. Dr. Hibaile, through his ministry with CIDEL, is striving to encourage and equip Christians in leadership to lead with the highest standards of biblical ethics. And God is blessing his work!
During our time in the C.A.R., we met with an prayed with the country's Prime Minister (the second highest ranking government official), the Minister of Finance, the President of Bangui University (the only post secondary institution in the country), a police commissioner, and several other V.I.P.'s. It is truly amazing to see the doors of ministry that God has opened for Dr. Hibaile.
Please pray for Dr. Hibaile, his work and his family. Pray that God would continue to bless his ministry and continue to open doors for him.
Thanks for stopping by . . .
