Bishop Unda Yemba’s daughter

Dear Friends,

As I was sending out the post regarding our progress with our East Congo Episcopal Residence Project I learned that Bishop Unda’s daughter Kabibi passed away yesterday from malaria. Not too many years ago he also lost his wife to malaria.

Please remember Bishop Unda Yemba’s family in your prayers.

Blessings,
Bishop McAlilly

    My heart goes out to the Bishop and his family. Lifting them up in prayer.

  4. Sure brings the ‘Imagine No Malaria’ initiative into focus with a clearer sense of urgency. Praying for the bishop and his family.

  5. Having lost a child and spouse, I do understand the pain and sorrow. I was comforted by God’s promise of His presence and by the prayers of believers around the world. I am & will be lifting the Bishop and family in my prayers.
