\"\"<\/a>We just finished teaching about Jesus\u2019 death, burial and resurrection! It was such a poignant moment… finally our friends KNOW. As we visit and hear their testimonies we are amazed and encouraged!<\/p>\n

What stood out to us is that everyone\u2019s focus on Christ\u2019s RESURRECTION, rather than on His death. It clearly spoke to their hearts. Listen to some of the testimonies:<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned today that Jesus got out of the grave. He is alive!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus is our Redeemer. He is my Redeemer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of Him, we are saved! He saved me from my sin!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus is the Saviour. He came to save us. He died, but He got out of the grave again and live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Jesus lives, sin and even the bad spirits have no more power over us. We are saved!\u201d<\/p>\n

Even the group of men, all believers, who are co-teaching with Francois and have heard the message before, are newly touched. As revision, we showed them parts of the trial, crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Christ by Lightworkers Media \u201cThe Bible\u201d. Some of them sobbed as they realize, maybe for the first time, how much Jesus suffered for us even though He was innocent. Their joy when He rose from death was real and beautiful to behold! Christ entrusting his disciples with the Great Commission before His ascension, renewed their calling in reaching their fellow Mwinika with the Word and Truth.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your part in bringing true Life to the Mwinika people of Mozambique. One day, we will all rejoice and praise Him together before His throne!<\/p>\n

All this, however, is just the beginning… The beginning of understanding what it means, how to apply this Truth to their daily lives; what a follower of Christ looks like. Pray for these newly \u201cgerminated seeds\u201d… they are tender and vulnerable. But they are ALIVE!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
