Great Day to be a Missionary

Today was one of those days when it is great to be a missionary! A team of us from the college left at 6:30 a.m. to walk to a "Youth Bible Study" at Michael's house in Bunum Wo. Michael and I hiked Mt. Wilhelm together. He is the one God has really gotten a hold of and is doing a remarkable work in his life. In the past he used to lead a rascal (criminal) gang in this area. He used to supply his mates with steam (fermented pineapple liquor) and marijuana. In days gone by he led them in a life of crime. Now he wants to lead them to the Lord. This study meets out-of-doors at his home, and although we met early today (Sunday) there were over 50 people there, most of whom had never darkened the door of a church. The Spirit of the Lord is moving, and our prayer as missionaries is to try to let the Lord lead. Our desire is to see nationals carry the ministry forward. We epecially want to make this Michael's ministry, which we want to support using local church leaders and students and staff workers from the CLTC. Please pray that this study will continue to grow and that many of these wonderful people will come to know the Lord.
