Maria, Vrydag’s wife, seldom went anywhere outside their yard. I think we have seen her only twice anywhere else in the 7 years we’ve been here! How amazing it is to see her not only coming to the teaching, but also bringing friends with her! Maria is pregnant, but that does not prevent her from walking the (about) 2,5km to and from the teaching place. By the time she arrives, she has 4 or 5 friends with her, all coming to teaching from the Bible for the first time.
Praise God for Maria’s faithfulness in coming to the chronological Bible teaching daily. Thank Him too for Vrydag, previously a traditional religious leader, whose testimony is strong and brought his shy wife out so that she too can hear the truth. Pray for this couple’s marriage, their family and for their witness into the community.
