We were impressed by the zeal and passion of these believers for the things of God. They were hungry for the word of God, and they worshiped God with an intense desire. We enjoyed worshiping God with them. They are single-minded in their focus on advancing the Kingdom of God. Pastors whom we met invariably reached out to the lost, and to the poor and needy.
We were particularly touched by a pastor whose congregation of about 100 invited 500 people from the surrounding villages, including the local officials to a Christmas celebration, complete with a sumptuous meal in order to present the gospel to their neighbours. The church was feeding 2 pigs till fat so that there will be sufficient pork for all present.
Anther incident which moved us was that 40 bible school students who had just enough for themselves, and who were living by faith, fasted every Friday, and the rice they would have taken for lunch were given to the poor and needy in the surrounding villages.
We thank God for the privilege of being able to minister to the people there, believing that God’s word will never return to Him void, but accomplish the purposes for which it was sent.
