Friday was the closing ceremony of the month long African Missionary Training that we were blessed to be a part of. \u00a0It was the end of the month of classes, but only the beginning of the training we hope to be able to offer. \u00a0The ceremony was very encouraging and we left praising God for all he had done this past month. \u00a0It was great to hear the testimonies of how different people were encouraged or challenged by the training. \u00a0It was encouraging to see how connected everyone had become over the month they had spent together. \u00a0It was amazing to see connections being formed between local pastors and missionaries.<\/p>\n

We worshiped together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Studied God's word together<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And shared testimonies of how God had worked through the training<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This month was only the beginning, but it was a beginning worth celebrating. \u00a0God was clearly present this month and did some amazing things. \u00a0Now we are taking time to reflect on the training and how we can improve it for the next time. \u00a0We are exploring the options to further mentor and train those who are interested in working to bring the Good News of Christ to those who have never heard it. \u00a0Mostly, we are excited to continue to watch and see what God is in the process of doing.<\/p>\n

God is doing great things and we can't help but be excited!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
