On a Spiritual Note...

The students had their end of the term exams last week, so since we did not have classes to teach, we went out into the village with Pastor Fondo to do home visits (basically hut-to-hut witnessing). We when first heard of the plan, we were a little skeptical of the impact we would really be able have. We both questioned if the people we talked to would really make a genuine decision to follow Christ, or if they would only be interested because it was coming from a mzungu (white person). Funny how even after seeing how God works we still question Him!

We ended up talking with 3 different groups of people, and we both had the opportunity to share our testimony with each one. Pastor Fondo translated for us and then invited them to make a decision to accept Christ’s gift of salvation. Thirteen people ended up praying with him! Praise the Lord. Now, the important thing will be to follow up with them and help direct them on where to go next. One of the women we talked with wanted to come to church, but wasn’t able to because of her work; so, without hesitation Pastor Fondo offered to come to her home and meet with her Sunday evenings instead (because what else do pastor’s have to do on Sunday’s, right?...this guy is like a little energizer bunny for Jesus!).

Pray that those we talked with will not just continue on with their lives like normal, but that they will begin to seek out what it really means to follow Christ!
