Our trip to Idaci went very well, we met the new Pastor Ben and many of the evangelists. We will do a Pastoral Care course for them here at Mahula because this is most central according to them. Idaci has a large Christian school and a Jr. Secondary School. Some of the kids at Mahula go to school at Idaci since the traditional leaders shut down the school that was started at Mahula. Who is going to herd and who is going to help farm was their concern.
Sunday I preached my first sermon in Hausa, I believe I got the point across: At the end of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells a parable of two people building a house one on the rock and one on the sand. The rock is Jesus, if you listen to Him the 20 points of the Sermon on the Mount, and you do what Jesus says your house (your life, your soul, your whole existence in the Kingdom of God will stand. If you do not listen to what Jesus tells you to do and how we must live; you’re building on shifting sand and your very life could be lost. The good news is that Jesus gives many opportunities for us to change our ways. As God would have it we also had a conversion this morning, one of the Church leaders sons who had expressed interest some months ago. I wanted to pray with him and lay on hands which we did. All in all it was a great service.
After church we were ready for a quiet afternoon but Matt texted Gremar if she would come to the school to check on Christy the teacher’s wife who was a week overdue, sure enough Gremar recommended she go to the hospital and Matt asked Gremar to go along so I went as well. Laura had a great supper waiting for us bless her heart. Another full day. Praise the Lord!
Tomorrow we go back to Kontagora to duplicate more TLT manuals.
