What happens when trained Alur Believers stop waiting for ‘missionaries’ to share the Gospel with their Unreached People and ‘go do it’? The first 20 people they taught to share the Gospel shared their stories with others and now there are new Believers in need of training!
I just arrived from the village in Paidha. Thank you for all the prayers. God is doing a great work through Jacob, Florence, John, and Sarah. We saw about 20 people at the training, some were new believers. They were able to learn a story and go out and teach others. We could see them catching the vision for making disciples. The need is immense, the area is huge, pray for workers. Compared to what is needed the training is actually so small but we were all amazed at the impact of a few truths that have been well understood and taught to people who are willing to obey. Most of the folks are not able to read and need Bible stories in their own language of Alur. Tuesday and Wednesday the trainees went out in the community to train others. About 12 people gave their lives to Christ and threw down their charms and other items of witchcraft and burned them. Keep praying that God will raise up and army of believers who have a vision for making disciples. Coming home was an adventure. We were stopped for speeding by police. Then the police stopped a bus for speeding. The people all came out of the bus and started shouting at the police. We just stayed quiet because the officer had my driving permit. Then the crowd was surrounding the officer and called the police chief. Eventually they took the bus to the police station and we were released and forgive for our good behavior. We thank God for helping us in so many ways. Next week we go to Nebbi for the second training....
Look tomorrow for more information on the ALUR People Group!
