Raphael reports that the task of producing all 2250 masks is now complete and distribution of these and the soap and pails to the remaining prisons in Northern Region will happen this week.

Each inmate will receive Gospel literature along with the hygiene items, so please pray that the Lord will use this to the blessing of many souls.

Each inmate has also received a supply of Gospel Literature.

Thanks to everyone who has given support to this valuable effort.
