Today was an awesome day of ministry in Nyimba! The GVBC team went out to several different villages and shared the Gospel with the people there. This morning, Kendall and Benjamin Phiri traveled to Mozambique to teach the large crowd of Mozambiquans that had gathered at Meze to hear the Gospel and teachings from the GVBC team. When Kendall arrived in Meze this morning, there were over 150 people waiting for him. The day before there were approximately 320 people that had traveled to meet the team and hear their testimonies and lessons from the Bible. When Kendall arrived he explained to them the difficulties that we had faced in attempting to get proper documentation to cross the border. The people were understanding and the visit from Kendall made the apology and teaching a lot better. During their time in Mozambique 7 people prayed to receive Christ. While they were teaching there the team was sharing Christ in Nyimba. Total today, 30 people prayed to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior!
Praise the Lord for the new brothers and sisters in Christ in Nyimba and Mozambique!
Pray for the team as they continue evangelism and prayer walking on Monday.
Pray for the Jesus Film as it is shown in the Nyimba boma (town) on Monday night at 6:00 p.m.
Pray for the work that will take place in Dziko (zee-ko) Village, Tuesday-Thursday of this week.
Pray for a church to be planted in the Nyimba boma near the villages of Kampala and Ben.
Although we were not in Mozambique, we decided to have MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) for lunch! It was a fun time with our Zambian friends! It was actually good food!!!
Jumbe had Chicken and Noodles.
*Praise the Lord for Jumbe. Last Monday, he was hit by a drunk driver on a motorcycle and was hit on his side and back. We all went to the hospital to pray for him on Tuesday. He was released from the hospital on Wednesday and has been a translator and awesome friend to Tar and Chris! Praise the Lord!*
Yesterday, the ladies, Zeria, and Benjamin began witnessing in the Police Camp. They met a family that was very concerned about their son, Rafael. He had been lured into a Satanic cult and was in deep bondage and was being oppressed. The ladies promised him that they would return today (Saturday) to pray for him. When we arrived at his home this afternoon, he was not there, so we promised his sister that we would be back on Monday to pray with him. As we began to walk home, Rafael came running up behind us. Immediately when he approached us, no one recongnized him. What we then learned was that a pastor from his family's church had come on Friday night and he was set free from the demon that had held him in bondage and he prayed to receive Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior! Rafael was FREE and was a NEW CREATURE! On Friday as the women tried to read Scripture to him, he never made eye contact, he placed folded arms upon his knees and buried his face, then just left the house. Today, we shared Scripture with him and before we began he said, "I want to get my Bible!" We had an awesome time with Rafael and in the words of our great friends, Zeria and Benjamin, "look at this boy...he is FREE...REALLY FREE!!!"
