So many wonderful things to be a part of this
month!
Jeremy and I were able to head out to worship with
our dear church
family at Mushingashi this past Sunday. We hadn’t been to worship with
them
since early February so we were very excited and anxious to be with them
again.
This was the church body that walked three hours to greet us after our
truck
accident, stayed for 15 minutes to hug, kiss and pray over us, and then
walked
the three hours back. What a blessing to see this church reaching out to
others, and we got to be on the other end of that blessing! We were so
touched.
The grass has grown just a bit since
we had last been out to
the area, as you can see not much to see but grass at this point.
Erin and I
had a great study with our sweet young friends
this week. It is neat because Erin and I have been doing this study for
over a
year now, and Jeremy and I are now working with the youth at Konkwa
church.
Most of the girls involved in Erin and I’s Bible study are also part of
the new
youth program. It’s neat to see their maturity and desire for Jesus.
Some of
the youth actually came to set up for the church leader’s month long
seminar
coming up this next week. This was inspiring to see, and we hope by the
youth
continuing to reach out to their community, it will light the fire for
the
whole village!
Mr. Jikata, who was with us in the vehicle during
the accident,
has been released from the hospital!! After 3 weeks, he was able to come
home
and is walking. Jeremy and I went to welcome him home last night, it was
very
surreal. He is in great spirits, and I will be taking a picture of him
this
week, so everyone can see his happy face.
Lastly, we
are very excited for the Muzha wa Yesu (Slave for
Jesus) seminar beginning on Monday. We have visiting teachers coming in
from
the states—four people of which are from our supporting congregation
East
Brainerd—and we are just so excited! We are anxiously awaiting their
Saturday
arrival.
Please keep the church leaders in your prayers
during this
next month as they strive to learn and soak up as much as they can. We
want
this to be a time of spiritual nourishment for them so they can take it
back to
their congregations all throughout the bush.
I've been praying for Mr. Jikata also. So glad he is home and better! Will be in prayer for the church leaders also as you asked and those hearing the gospel of Christ also that their hearts be touched. Love you!
