Starting the Church Plant
Posted on | August 7, 2007 | Comments Off
We are beginning evangelism today in the community. The plan is to do this for the rest of the week culminating on Saturday with a church plant of which Sambo will be the pastor.
The days here become more scheduled. The El Shaddai team (YFC), with whom we’ve become friends over the last few years, are here with us now. Two good words to describe them are "always laughing."
Andrew Trawick, our evangelist, will be training us in the mornings for the evangelism project, and in the afternoons we will be going to visit people at their homes. We will be showing the Jesus Film at night and inviting everyone we can. We’ll pause the Jesus Film at a point and Andrew will present the gospel. If this year is anything like the previous years, we will see a number of people receive Christ tonight and the following nights.
The main purpose for this email is to solicit prayer. A number of team members have been troubled by dreams, some clearly demonic. Sambo’s wife, Ruth, lost here baby yesterday at the hospital. We are all very sad for the two of them.
Ancestor worship and appeasing spirits with sacrifices are a daily reality for the people here. We have been praying, but we want to invite more people to pray. I’m including here a very detailed Google map of the location we are planting the church.
As we walk and pray and make invitations on these dirt streets, would you consider using Google Earth to walk and pray with us over the next few days? Could someone at Lookout Mountain contact our prayer team with this as well?
Below you can see our lodge in the middle of a community to the north and south of us. Our preaching point is on the main road north of our lodge next to the community water pump. To the east (right on the map) is the main road running north and south (to Maputo). Please, pray over these dirt roads, more people that you can imagine live here. Some in brick houses, many in grass huts.
