If I could sum up the month I had in Botswana it would take me a million words. Every day of ministry I got to go out and proclaim Truth to the villagers in Seronga. The Truth that my life is based upon. The Truth that has saved me from a life of destruction. The Truth that fills my life with hope and joy. A Truth that when I am reminded of who I am apart from my Savior, brings me to tears.
Seronga holds a special place in my heart. It is in that village that I fell in love all over again with Jesus. It is there that my heart broke into pieces for humanity. When we were sharing the gospel it was evident that people had head knowledge of who Jesus is but no understanding of what it means to give their lives to Him. They claim Christianity without understanding repentance and salvation. I could see the hunger that they had for the Lord, but it was evident that the Truth was wrapped up in lies. I have a righteous anger burning inside for the enemy. He has taken Truth and wrapped it in darkness.
But something beautiful happened this month. Each time we shared the gospel, we watched peoples faces light up with understanding. We watched the hope to which we are called come to life. My team of four visited four different families for two weeks. Each time we would go back to their homes, there would be new faces. More people who wanted to hear the Word of God.
In the beginning of the month it was just the 14 of us (two World Race teams) who attended church. At the end of the month we had a truck and van full of people to take to service. It was the most beautiful thing to see the fruit of our labor for the Lord. My prayers go out to each person that the Lord planted seeds in through us. That they may come to be bright lights shinning in this dark world for the name of Jesus.
“The light shines in darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5
