This is the kind of reports that make you want to sell all you
have and head for Africa. Without a doubt the Holy Spirit has gone ahead and
the people are ready for harvest but how shall they hear without a preacher.
Read this and you will be blessed I know.

Dear Chuck
What a week!!
During the last month we had
made some commitments to several men from two different villages to come and
meet with their respective churches.
One Tuesday we travel about 8
Km from our compound to the village of Chazuka (CHAA ZOO KAA). This
village is towards the west and about 5 miles from Mozambique. The
village was remote and rough with most of the houses and roofs being
constructed out of tree trunks, mud and grass. We met with about 50 plus
men and women and preached to them God's Salvation. At the end 38 adults
and older teens prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior; Praise God!! We
left them with John/Romans and tracts and also gave the pastor a new
Bible. His was falling apart and pages were missing. They beseeched
us please come and teach them, and we are trying to figure out how we can do
this. I think the best way is for two of their men to travel the distance
to our Bible Institute compound and teach them over several days out of
"The Seven Steps of Joy". We would then send them back to teach
their people. We will have to do this for the future as we just do not
have the manpower to travel several days a week to hold Bible Studies at their
village.
On Thursday we travel about
30 Km to the south to the village of Mwatasa (MMM WAA TAA SAA). We met
with two pastor's and their respective churches in one place. We preached
Christ Crucified and God's Gift, and 7 adults got saved. The one pastor
had a Bible and the other did not. We gave each one a new Bible and they
were very appreciative. Again, they are looking for us to come and disciple
them, but the distance is so great I am not sure what we are going to do.
Most of the road is difficult, and to go the 30 Km took us over one hour.
On Saturday we had our church
soul winning, and over 40 adults and kids turned out at 7am to go to the
village of Chagwiragalu (CHAA GWEER AA GAALUU). We broke up into 4 teams
and during the morning about 30 people prayed to receive Jesus as their
Savior. The high light of my morning was that when I went to the Group
Village Headman to ask permission to go to this village to spread the Gospel I
was able to share the Gospel with him, and he and two other men got saved, to
God's Glory! This village is about 6 Km directly west of the BBAM
compound, so it is accessible. We will see what happens in the future.
Today we had a good turnout
with about 60 in the adult classes and over 120 in the kids. Seven adults
got saved during the preaching service, and Nelson Madeya, the Associate Pastor
of BBC of Tengani baptized 19 today.
I made the comment to Pastor
Nelson that if we got all the members together at one service we would be in
real trouble as we would have no room.
Next Sunday we will be
starting a new Sunday School program now that Shadrick and his family have
moved down here, and we have more interpreters. Nelson Madeya will take
the 12 to 20 year old men, I will have the adults, Sarah will have the 12o 20
year old girls, and Darcy will have the 5 to 12 year old boys and girls.
We are really excited about structuring lessons aimed at a specific gender and
age group.
We continue to pray for help
from America to come and be with us. People who truly have been called by
God to this ministry. This ministry is exploding as we go out and soul
win. More and more people who have been saved are coming and word is
going out that the Bible is being preached. We do not have the
frustration of not seeing fruit, but the frustration of not knowing what to do
with the fruit God is supplying. Thank God it is His ministry, and He
will have to solve these problems.
Your Servant for Christ,
John, Darcy and Sarah
