The Light continues to enter the darkness!

1 October 12 by Roland and Jinni Shafer Jr.

We, along with many other missionaries, have been following developing events in Asia-Pacific. We mentioned in our last update that God is revealing Himself to another people group in that region.

A couple nights ago we received an especially exciting update. This tribal group have come to understand the Lord Jesus as their “Road Man”- the Light has made Himself known! They refer to Jesus in this way because He has shown the way to the right and narrow road to God. Many other beliefs these folks have are now exposed as those that lead to the “broad road to destruction”.

After experiencing a reenactment of the crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus (the email contained several pictures), questions needed answering. The following day, the lessons that followed presented Jesus’ resurrection, His meeting with many before His ascension, then His ascension and continuing ministry for all believers. All these provided many of the needed answers. So THE LIGHT has entered the darkness and new believers are born!

An excerpt of the letter from the tribal team was so meaningful to us who are serving these teams in support roles – WHICH INCLUDES EVERY MEMBER OF THIS MINISTRY TEAM.

Here’s the excerpt:

"And one young Biem man has a message for YOU. Yes, YOU.
He said, "I know I should thank God for you guys 
but I want to thank all three of your families for 
bring God's talk here." Then we told him that, no,
it's not just the three families. There are literally
thousands of people praying for you guys to understand
God's talk all over the world. He then said, "Ok, then 
you go and tell them, ALL OF THEM, THANK YOU. God's talk 
has come to our island. THANK THEM for praying and 
sending you guys here.""

Keep praying for these new believers, our mutual adversary will attack their faith in many ways – you remember what that is like!

We praise the Lord for His working through you! By your continuing partnership with us, you are partnered with many tribal teams around the world. We are trusting our Father to continue to bring a fruitful harvest in the days ahead.

serving the RISEN Lord Jesus Christ, WITH YOU!

our Source of confidence – 2 Corinthians 3;4-6

(4)  We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ.

(5)  It is not that we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves. Our only power and success come from God.

(6)  He is the one who has enabled us to represent His new covenant. This is a covenant, not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old way ends in death; in the new way, the Holy Spirit gives life.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6
