“Brethren, my Heart’s desire and prayer to God for (the World) is, that they
might be saved”
Romans 10:1
I Thank God for every thought and prayer from you.
The
Mission Trip to Africa was truly Blessed by God.
As I write to you now, I still hear the hymns sung with the African beat
and rhythm as Christian brothers and sisters lifted their voices in Praise.
Perhaps it was the Joy of someone telling them that America is praying for
them and have not forgotten the people from the “Dark Continent”. Their songs went from one to another, fresh
as if just written from their hearts yet memorized long ago.
Excitement and enthusiasm was in every house, church and city.
Something is happening in Africa that reminds me of earlier Revival times in
America. I saw the evidences of “Sin” but I also saw lives that were
changed and I saw the dusty swollen feet of committed pastors and church
leaders eager to hear God’s word preached afresh. One pastor had come
from the Pigmy Tribes to be in the services. I had hoped to be able to
visit in his tribal church up the Congo River but the distance was too
great. He had been traveling for seven days to be in Douala.
Much of that travel was by canoe, walking, cart and motorcycle. My
heart was lifted as we were able to encourage him and others to continue in
preaching and teaching the saving and healing “Word of God”.
In
Yaounde, I met a pastor who was needing words of encouragement and
reassurance of God's love and faithfulness.
Six years ago he had accepted the call to pastor a young mission church with
about 50 people. Now they have a congregation of about 600 believers
meeting every week. They are a people
poor in dollars and “francs” but “Rich”
in love and belief in a Savior
that is still the “Life giving Salvation”. His salary is only 100
dollars a month for he and his family, a wife and four children. As we
talked and prayed together, I was able to share with him right there in
Yaounde that there were people in America praying for him and that I would
be praying for him. The words of encouragement continued as we talked
about how God our heavenly Father knew of his faithfulness and his need of
reassurance. There was opportunity for me to help him with his
immediate needs and also to leave funds that would continue helping him and
other pastors for a number of months. God knows this pastor and
others like him and God knows you and your faithfulness. May God Bless
Abundantly.
African Pastors and Christian leaders from various denominations came with
one “Goal and Focus”; They wanted to learn more about the Bible and how to
live God’s love in a world, in a country that has very little of anything
else. I didn’t hear resentments and “splitting of hairs” often found
here in America. I only saw and heard their hunger for God and
Him alone.
The Revival has already begun and you are a part of it. I preached and
spoke with hundreds of pastors and church leaders in three main cities, two
villages, Christian Radio
and two African Weddings. God enabled me to take Medicines for 1200
people, Bibles, Tracts and “EvangeCubes”. Again, I Thank You.
This is a reality because of your Faithful Prayers and Support. Please
continue as we look forward to the next mission trip.
Truly, this African Mission
Trip was a Blessing in every way, Thank You and God Bless You.
