01-13-2010 Mali Team Update

More good news is coming from the Mali team.  They remain in Village “Y” until Thursday morning (as originally planned).  At that time they will head back toward Texas over a three-day period.  They had a good teaching time with eight believers in Village “Y” on Tuesday night, and they are continuing to teach and disciple people throughout the day today.  Pastor Bart was able to call his friend in Kenieba, and his friend was able to pick up an inner tube there and then ride it out to Village “Y” on Pastor Bart’s motorcycle.  They were able to get it installed and mounted, so now they have four good tires and one spare for the return trip.  Thank God for His timely provision!
 
Tonight they plan to teach on tithing and church development.  They will also observe the Lord’s Supper.  Peter, the first believer from Village “Y,” will lead the Lord’s Supper and be formally recognized as the church leader there.  That will be an exciting time in the life of their young church body!
 
Look for a report later today from Mike Anderson.  He will recap Wednesday night’s events for us so that we can rejoice with them in what God is doing.  Thanks again for your prayers!
