Pictures in chronological order, adding colour and festivity to the day!
The air was festive and the group bigger than usual. It was the last day teaching from Genesis to Revelation for those who have never heard the Gospel in our village! When Francois ended the day’s teaching with the words from Rev. 22:20: “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus” Several of the people repeated the words hands in the air! Come Lord Jesus! There were smiles, exclamations of joy and spontaneous testimonies of trusting in Christ as the meeting ended.
Thank you Lord Jesus, that you are revealing yourself to the Mwinika people.
What a huge victory to see many friends and neighbours saved and so excited to hear more, that they asked to immediately start with the 2nd phase teaching…next week! 🙂
So, next week already will see the start of the next phase in teaching and equipping believers. We will again teach from Genesis to Revelation, but this time from a believer’s perspective. Those coming will learn more about their identity in Christ as well as what a believer’s life should look like… A real challenge in a culture that has never lived or heard the Gospel!
We are also filled with joy and thankfulness!
But spent… Pray for us, the Bible teachers, the believers and the seekers… May we continue to find our strength, our perspective and our joy in Him!
Francois and Salim teaching on the last day of this phase, pointing to the sacrifice of the ram in the place of Isaac… just as Christ had been sacrificed in our place!
Amazing witness to the transformation that only God can bring! This woman is the second wife of SwartHand, now also a believer. (He now confesses that it was a mistake to take a second wife, but still takes his responsibility seriously). Here she is holding… not her own baby… but that of SwartHand’s first wife! To see a wife playing with the children of the other wife, is very unusual. However, we see changes in culture through Christ’s love and grace!
The Word of God… from which we do not want to add or take away anything!
The children caught onto the atmosphere of light and joy :).
Excitement! Through Christ we are saved! He is coming again!
One of the first babies born to a believer, little Sahidi.
So Jesus, “beginning with Moses [Genesis] and all the Prophets, [he] explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself…” (Luke 24:27). We thank Him for revealing Himself now, at this time, to the Mwinika people.
Thank you to each one of you who made this possible through your involvement in this ministry.
We pray that more and more Mwinikas’ eyes will be opened so that they will recognise Him…(Luke 24:31).
