Gospel Presented in Mengen

Several months ago a request for prayer was sent out along with pictures of the Mengen translation helpers.  The teaching began in February and now, all 70 lessons have been completed.  Missionary Dave Wright taught twice each day, and his enthusiasm for the gospel brought in the numbers to the village teaching, time and again.  Now we may rejoice to call another thirty or forty Mengen men and women, brothers and sisters in Christ. 

During the teaching, Dave used an expression which means "It is finished", time and again.  In the Mengen culture a debt is signified by a rope with knots, and when the debt is paid, they use this same expression.  Our sin debt has been paid, by Christ on the Cross.  One young man, with great excitement, has been telling everyone that he had a great debt which he could never pay, but it has been paid by Christ. 

Praise the Lord for the excitement that the Gospel has raised among the Mengen people.
