God has far surpassed the one salvation a day average that I asked everyone to pray for in my previous blog. Thank’s so much to all who took part in our ministries through prayer and interceding. Your efforts truly payed off, as you will all be pleased to know that our salvation count for Mokhotlong is now somewhere over 40 persons. We lost the exact count but we know that over 40 people have given their lives to Jesus since our being here. I hope everyone who reads this will give thanks to God and worship him for what he’s doing. I can’t explain how happy I am at the movement of the Holy Spirit in this small village and we still have eight days left. God is changing lives here and as a result my life is changing.
We went back to the same prison where 5 inmates were saved last week and I got to take my guitar inside this time. I played a worship song and my whole team sang all the words with me. It was just like last time in that we were in the middle of the yard surrounded by the inmates who watched us as we sang to the Lord. Mind you it wasn’t the most glorious worship session in the world because obviously the prisoners didn’t know the lyrics and they weren’t used to that type of music. You could tell they were indifferent about drumming along and it just felt a little off. But that’s beauty of God. None of the awkwardness that I just mentioned dampened his redeeming power whatsoever. In fact, because of our willingness to worship him with no regard for how awkward it may have been God was glorified and his spirit moved yet again in the prison.
After we sang our song, two of my teammates delivered powerful messages about the need for Jesus. We had an alter call and 6 inmates came forth to accept Jesus. I’m starting to see a lot of freedom come from going to prison. Not to mention we lost count of the salvations happening at the hospital where we’ve been praying for patients. It’s God all the way here in Mokhotlong and that’s fine with me. So thank you so much to everyone who has partnered with us in prayer! I can’t express how grateful I am for you.
