Growing up in South America I didn’t do a lot of fishing but what I did was with a simple line and hook with some sort of bait. I got to do a little more of the same kind of fishing in Venezuela. The trick was to keep the piranha off the hook long enough to catch something more palatable.
Earlier this summer Austin and I got a taste of a whole different kind of fishing. Austin was introduced to rods and reels, leaders and all sorts of flashy lures. Thanks, Mike Plett for showing us how to catch a “Jack” (northern Pike).
The vastly different forms of fishing remind me of the vastly varying contexts we are called into to “fish for men.” Each unique context presents its own challenges. Will you pray with us for our colleagues and the many new believers among the Lolo and Mwinika people. They are looking for creative ways to spread the gospel to more and more men and women who need the gospel in Mozambique?
We are looking forward to getting back to our own work in Mozambique after our year of home assignment.
