I won't have any photos until they return, but the team is having a fantastic experience in Port! They arrived safely after only about 9 hours on the road and jumped right into an evening service. Over a hundred people came, and 15 stayed afterwards to accept the Lord as their Savior. Friday and Saturday, the morning began with Emmaus prayer time, followed by walking the children through the basic's of the Bible. Then, from 9-12 the group went from tent-to-tent throughout Diquini, praying with people, talking to them, encouraging them, inviting them to Bible study and services, and inviting them to follow Christ.
From noon-1 they are resting and eating, then meet with new believers from 2-3, lead and participate in Bible studies from 3-5, prepare for the evening service, and then lead the evening service from 6 until finish.
Reports have all been positive, and Matt has been really thrilled to see the group bond and behave as "true Christian community." The zone has been grateful for the encouragement and further feeding, and the group has also been thrilled to see that the leaders Junior trained and left in place have been doing really good work and seem to be truly after the Lord's own heart.
This morning, Sunday morning, they plan to have a large service from 6-9 am, and then get back on the road, hopefully returning before dark! Thank you for your prayers! I'll have photos and more specific testimonies in these coming days!
Praise the Lord!
