We asked you to pray for our Bena believers and God has heard your prayers, we had a great meeting today and encouraged them to get back to the business of the Lord. I am very happy with the outcome knowing that these men are still just babes in Christ, needing the milk of the Word but also the tenderness of those that work with them.
These seven men will be meeting together with Pete and me every two weeks for a time of fellowship, prayer and refreshment. They also will be having Sunday morning meetings and two or three teaching classes each week in different areas. Heti said, “They knew what was right but just had not been following what they had been taught”, sounds so much like a lot of us at times.
My soul burns with passion to see these believers grow into the body of Christ in ways that would glorify God on this mountain and in the valley below. Pete and I do not know the Bena language and Pigin is so limited in many ways. Knowing this, we take much comfort working hand in hand with the Holy Spirit who has no language limits even in this very difficult Bena talk place until our Bena missionary who knows the language returns. Keep praying, God can and will do mighty things for those who put their trust in Him who said, “Go ye, and I will be with you.”
Janie fed us rice and tin fish and we all left satisfied and excited about what God will do in the future. Over the years I have had many tribal men ask me to get them a missionary, one even wanted to buy a missionary from us. I realize one can not buy a missionary and the only ones that last are those that are sent from the hands of the Lord of the harvest into His harvest.
What can God do with seven men? Jesus took twelve and turned the world up side down. His power has no limits known unto man, what He has done for others He will do for us that ask in Jesus’ name. PLEASE PRAY, what a tool in the hands of the Saints.
