Sorry this is a little later than usual; we are without internet connectivity at the school, so I’m sending this from home.
Thank you for praying for the building outreach that took place this past week-end. About 20 of our men and boys traveled to a village about 2 hours inland on Friday afternoon, sat up sound and projection equipment and showed a Christian video Friday night. Because of generator problems, the film didn’t start until 10:00, but they still had an audience, and 17 villagers prayed to receive the Lord as their Savior that night. Interestingly enough, although our men had done everything they could to start the generator, including praying, it wasn’t until an African pastor prayed that Satan would be bound and that his curses would be ineffective that the generator started and continued running without a hiccup. Saturday night, the generator again ran smoothly for another film night where 20 more villagers prayed for salvation. Satan wanted to prevent that, but God’s power prevailed. The group returned to campus after holding a service under the trees on Sunday morning.
This weekend, another group goes back to the same village to finish the building the first group started. We’ve had more answers to prayer in that the roofing rafters are finished already when we weren’t sure they would be done in time. This is a special time for our campus fellowship as they reach out in faith, pray through obstacles, see God not only directly answer their prayers, but also see some of the villagers they spend time with ask Jesus into their hearts. Please pray for the continued ministry this weekend.
We ask that you also continue to pray about our choice of language school in Quebec for this next year. We’re collecting lots of information and need God’s wisdom to choose the school that will be best for us.
