We have been walking daily to villages and market places sharing the Gospel of Jesus. We ask questions too know where their relationship with the Lord is or even if they have a relationship with Him. Quite a few people say, “I will be going to heaven because God made me,” or the famous answer, “Because He is our Savior.” But they do not have an understanding that all have sinned and no one is without sin. They fail to understand that if you confess your sin, He is faithful to not only forgive you of your sin but to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) Those who call upon the Name of Jesus and believe that He is the Son of God shall have eternal life. We explain to the people in the villages and in the market places the truth of the Gospel; that Jesus wants each person to have a real and intimate relationship with Him, desires for them to be free from sin, and that He has good plans for them and their families.The hearts of these people are so open and are so hungry for true understanding.
There is a church cult here that is very demonic and if a villager isn’t a part of that church, they aren’t going to heaven. With the church cult they call on the ancestors to invade children’s bodies and even change their personalities. This spreads a lot of fear throughout villages and within individuals.
We shared the Gospel with four ladies while in the market place, one of them was very open to hearing the Gospel for the first time. She was an older lady who was so very hungry for God’s Word. After we shared the Gospel and prayed with her she informed us that she didn’t have a Bible and explained how she now desired a woman’s study Bible to be able to study God’s Word and begin her relationship with Him.
I’m asking if there are people who would be willing to help financially, so that my team will be able to purchase her a study Bible. If you are able to help please email me at [email protected].
We also have had a chance to minister to children at a school telling them the story of David and Goliath by acting it out!
Then we played with the children and did face painting. They loved it!
Keep praying for us to have favor in minister to children of all ages as well as ministering in the market places.
