After a busy month of December with final exams and activities, school is ready to begin again and along with it, drama evangelism outreaches!
Tomorrow morning, our teams will leave bright and early for the village of Tchekos to take part in a pre-New Testament dedication prayer walk and outreach! Upon arrival, we'll hike to another Nomaande speaking village about 6 km away to do a prayer walk. According to Bible translator Patricia Wilkendorf, this village has traditionally been much more resistant to the gospel than Tchekos. We're awaiting news about whether we'll be able to perform our dramas there or not, but either way, we will bathe the place in prayer, asking God to reach the people there with His love and truth and to tear down the strongholds that exist.
In the afternoon we'll return to Tchekos and prepare for an outreach.
Some of you who were praying for us last year will remember the fruit God bore in this village with many people coming to Christ and some amazing times praying with and encouraging the believers in the church there. We're excited to reconnect with the people there and see what God has been doing.
Then Saturday, we'll attend the New Testament dedication and perform one of our dramas at the ceremony. What a joy to be a part of celebrating the Omaande people receiving God's word in their language! Many unbelievers will be in attendance including government officials as well as Muslims who live in the area. Please pray!!!!
~for safe travel and good health for all team members ~for good functioning of sound equipment ~for God to touch hearts, encouraging His children and drawing many to saving faith in Christ ~that God will fill us with His love for the people and with the specific words He wants us to share with each one ~for protection strength and unity for those organizing the dedication ~that the Omaande will read God's word and be transformed by it
We thank God for you. The covering your prayers provide for us and the power that God will release in response to them is a vital part of this outreach trip!
Not to us oh Lord, but to Your name be all the glory for everything You do this weekend.
Liz for the team
