Questions about Jesus

We’ve been sharing the Gospel a lot here in S-Town and we’ve had some great conversations! No one has believed but there have been many questions & curious hearts. Praise the Lord! 

One person that comes to mind is an older teenager named Sonny. He listened very intently, and asked many good questions about our belief in Jesus. He was not ready to believe when we talked to him, but you can tell the spirit was moving in him! 

Please pray for Sonny and others like him that we've shared with. Pray for the seeds that were planted to grow through additional conversations.

Loving others like Jesus loves us

Our time at A-Town was difficult. Things just felt really off. The community was 100% Muslim with a large majority of them have never heard the Gospel. Most in this community hadn't seen a white person either, so it was very difficult trying to talk to people without drawing a crowd. 

But... when crowds would come, we would try and share with everyone at once.. however, we are unsure how much people would understand due to all the noise. Many people would outright tell us not to share the hope of Jesus. Nonetheless, over 30 A-Town people heard the Gospel! The stay was very draining, but those are the moments when I need the Lord most and can feel Him right next to me. Even when you’re surrounded by darkness, Jesus will continue to guide you and provide light! (John 8:12)

I must confess, it was very difficult to love the A-Town people at times. Most did not want to listen to us, but would follow us around. Please pray that I remember to love people the way Jesus loves us! Even as Jesus was being put to death on the cross, He still loved His accusers and executioners... Perfectly. That’s what I’m here to tell people about!

Finding Believers

Yesterday, we were told of another village nearby that mainly believe in Hinduism/Animism. We went to that village in the afternoon when most of the people were out working. A big group gathered around and we shared the Gospel with them. They listened, and afterward told us about the god of their village. We told them about the hope that only the Gospel can offer. 

After we were done sharing with them, two of the women from the crowd asked us to come have tea at their home. These two women are Christians & told us that seven of the families in that village are believers! Praise the Lord! The Hindu believers there will not let them build a church and they have faced HEAVY persecution, yet they still meet in their home every week and worship Jesus. They have also begun teaching the children about Jesus as well. We are returning there to meet the elders and share the Gospel with them. 

We do not know how long we will stay in our current village and need prayer for the spirit to lead us wherever He wants us!  God is moving in all corners of the Earth, in every group. That is the only explanation for this! 

Pray that we will be in tune with the Holy Spirit as we make decisions about how long we should stay in this village.

Pray for the believers in this village to be encouraged & emboldened to share the Good News that they have believed.

Prayers for a harvest

Wow... the past few days have been packed! We arrived at a new area a couple days ago and made it to one of the villages of the L people. The village we are staying in is a "Christian" village. While there are some strong believers, many in this village have not truly accepted Jesus into their hearts. 

Pray for the Lord to work in the hearts of the people in W village! We have shared the gospel and our testimonies with many people here and they have all been very eager to listen which is a great sign.
