MALI MISSION MARCH09: Worshiping and training in Village Y

^{2 Tim 3:16} ”All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

This evening, team worshiped with church in Village Y. They were told there were three people who want to follow Jesus. Part of the team’s teaching included an invitation to walk on the Jesus Road. PRAY that those three, and many more, will choose to follow Jesus. PRAISE GOD that He provides a way for men to be forgiven of their sins and be redeemed.

Because the Yalunkan-speaking missionary has been along, the team has been able to test the understanding of the believers in all the villages. They discovered two areas of confusion (regarding the role of works in salvation and regarding the Holy Spirit). The concepts had been confused in the process of translation. PRAISE GOD that by His design, this Yalunkan-speaking missionary, is a part of the team, and that the misunderstanding was discovered before it was too deeply entrenched. PRAY that teaching from scripture will be clear, and that no confusion would remain.

A man with a heart condition, who chose to walk on the Jesus Road only two months ago, died recently. PRAISE GOD that this man is in heaven today! PRAY that his family will be comforted, and that they, too, will choose to follow Jesus.

On Thursday, the team will continue teaching and encouraging the believers in Village Y. PLEASE PRAY that they would be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading, and that God would begin to bring forth leaders in that church.

PRAISE GOD, BECAUSE HE IS MOST WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
