Hearing from the Bold Team

From Dad:

It was hard to put all I wanted to say in just 2 sentences, you know how talkitive I am. I thank God every day for the supernatural way He cared for us on our trip. From getting all our trunks both going and coming ,for opening doors in Bam,Sik, and both villages giving us an opportunity to share and just love your people. He gave us a fresh word each day in our devotions which He used to encourage and build our faith. I'm really glad I got to spend time with you and to get to meet your people.

From Brama my pastor:

What a blessing it was to be back on the red African soil. Though I have only been to Africa a few times, I was really hoping for something fresh from God. From the beginning, this team was asking God for boldness. I rejoice in the Lord for how He enabled us to share His story so many times on this trip. Of course I cannot measure this but I feel like this team shared God's Word more times than all my other trips in the past combined. It was so awesome to be a part of a team that was able to share God's Word so much. I cannot say that everyone was receptive to hearing but the majority of the times the people would sit and listen to both our salvation testimonies as well as a story from God's Word. What a blessing of be a part of a team that sowed so many seeds. Continue to lift up the work that continues even though part of the team has returned to the states.



Do you want to come and experience how Big God is? Do you want to be apart of what God is doing herer?

Jesus, while walking on this earth was surrounded by people and when He saw them he had compassion on them. After that He turned to His disciples and said; "the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into His harvest fields." He did say pray for healing, peace, protection, food etc...he told them to pray for more to come and share His Word and love to people that were lost. Do you want to be one of the few worker? I know not all feel lead to come but will you pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers?

Sharing

In Kar, the second village God met us there as well. It was nice to have a steam that the team could stop at to pray and thank God for all He did for us in Shen and prepare our hearts for Kar. When we got to Kar we greet and Dad was honored by being giving a chicken. The team got to eat that together with our hands out of a community bowl. It was fun and messy. Later we did a lot of male bonding, sharing testimonies and stories.

In several places we spoke boldly about the Jesus road and knew that it was up to them to make the choose now to follow or not. We were also able to pray for many who were sick and even take one baby to the nearest clinic to get medical help.

Chi sat with us one night and said, "Many have told me that in 2000 Jesus was coming back, but He didn't and many said they know when He is coming. Do you know when Jesus is coming back?" I love God working in people's hearts. Stirring up things in their hearts and minds. It was fun to actually show him in God's Word that no one knows NOT EVEN His own Son. The next day we got to share more with him and sit for longer. We talked about sine we don't know we need to be prepared. It has been awhile since he has been open so it was very encouraging to me.

Continue to pray for Kar and their hearts to be open. Pray for Jak and I as we live out God's love to them.  Many have said they want to follow but do not want to be the only ones. They has said if there was a group they would follow. Pray with me for a group or a family to becoming followers of the Jesus road.

Setting up camp





Getting ready to go share

The first village was called Shen and it was the first time a team had stay in this village. I had made many trips to Shen but never spent the night myself. It was new ground breaking for us all. God was amazing and opened many door for us to share. Our first stop was the chief. We greeted him and prayed with and for him. After that we were off to see what other doors God was going to open for us. We were able to talk to  many and share our testimonies and stories for God's Word. Even the place where we stayed had people coming and sitting with us and asking questions and listening to more stories. Pray for the many that heard in the 2 days we were in Shen.



Bold Team Kitchen

Well it has been forever since I have updated my blog. Forgive me. Since I last wrote my Dad came to visit on team that went to 2 villages and we had a blast. Not only was it great to see my Dad but it was amazing to serve together in place where God has called me. The team started by working in my kitchen and now I have a new wooden trim, new cocking, painted cabinets and new pulls on all the doors. They worked hard and I feel the love every time I walk into my kitchen.



Work begins







Work all done!
