MALI JAN09 - salvation of 2 others, and pic link

After encouraging the villagers of Village K (the village to whom we were recently introduced), 33 of them stood to say they would follow.  The blind chief had not come out from his hut beside the teaching circle, but Lawrence  was certain that he heard the message.  Upon entering the chief’s hut, Lawrence asked he would follow Jesus, too.  ”If I were not blind, I would have been the first to stand to follow Jesus.”  It is clear that the chief has also become a brother in Christ.  (His picture, taken by a 300-yr old drum, is attached.)

 

An old man lay dying in Village Y.  Except the Lord intervene, his days among us are short.  Several at FBC-K have been praying specifically for him and his family by name for many months.  Lawrence and the team heard that he is old and near death. Upon hearing of his poor health, they went to him and shared the hope that Christ brings. Because of these prayers and others, the stewardship of the team, and the beckoning of the Holy Spirit, Saje accepted Jesus as his savior! Praise God for His redemptive work, and that Saje will be among those whom we join in Heaven.
