Greetings,
Praise the Lord! Below you will find the account
of my trip in a blog format. I will be posting this pictures over time. As soon as I can put
it together I also plan to release a short documentary will be composed of the
footage that was taken during the trip. This will be posted to YouTube. Please browse
through the details of the trip to see what the Lord has done and consider
linking arms with us. BRIDE Ministries (www.bridemovement.com) will be
partnering with Rwanda Reformation Ministry (www.rwandareformationministry.org)
for long term goals that are under development and we will also be raising
money to assist in the work being done over there. If this mission field is
something you feel led to give towards please visit their website and see how
you can help. If you are interested in being a short-term missionary,
communicate with us, because this is also something they are looking for.
Blessings!

I arrived at the airport in preparation for my
10:15 pm flight to Turkey. Everything went smoothly. When I boarded the plane I
was pleased to find out that it was nice and big with entertainment centers on
the back of every seat. While I didn't make much use of it, the flight offered
a broad array of music, movies, television shows and even games. After the
plane doors closed there was still no one sitting next to me and so I thought I
would be getting lucky. However, about 5 minutes before take off a young Muslim
lady was seated next to me. She was originally from Somalia.
Apparently
she gave up her seat to let a husband and wife sit next to each other and so
they sat her next to me. She was nice and we spent several hours discussing our
various religious beliefs. I did a lot of listening at first, but after a while
she began to ask some questions. She lives in America and so Christianity was
not a foreign concept to her. However, I did have the opportunity to share some
of the more radical experiences I have shared with Jesus. I think these really
shook her up. Around 2 am Chicago time I went to sleep. We chatted a little
more after I woke up, but there was only about an hour and a half left before
the plane landed and we went our separate ways. I pray that I was able to plant
a seed that will take root.
The
food on the flight was okay. The dinner was better than the breakfast they
served before we landed. When I got off the plan I was in Istanbul, surrounded
by people I could not communicate with. I made my way over to my next flight
gate but with only an hour and twenty minute layover I was basically left with
time to go through another checkpoint, buy some water, find my gate, and sit
down to write this. Lord Jesus, I pray for salvation, healing, and deliverance
to follow me everywhere I go!

Shortly
after arriving in Rwanda I went to sleep. My trip really started the next day.
I was pleasantly surprised by the outside appearance of Jean's house when I
woke up and took a look at it. Jean is my friend and the missionary/pastor that
hosted me during the trip. At present, another gentleman is living with him as
well. I will refer to him as Bosco. He is working with Jean to accomplish the
goals that they have for the mission field there. The inside of the house was
nice but very basic. I learned quickly that hot water was not an accommodation
that I would be enjoying while in Rwanda. The house itself is apparently fairly
expensive. Jean is only living there because of the goodwill of a donor who
paid for Jean to live in the house for one year. As to how the house will be
paid for next year, there is only faith.
One
thing that really struck me was that there were no garbage cans. This was true
in his house, and also everywhere else. Like many of my questions, Jean just
laughed when I asked about this responding, "This is Africa my friend."
What I later found out is that the people simply collect their garbage into a
designated place on the property and burn it themselves. This allows people to
avoid the costs of paying for garbage disposal.
We
weren't in Jean's house for very long. We left around 1 pm to go to the
village. This is when I was able to see true poverty. Rwanda is divided up into
five provinces which contain a total of thirty districts. The main city of
Kigali occupies 3 districts and the rest of the country's 27 districts primarily
contain villages. Jean, works in the district of Bugesera, about an hour's
drive from the city. This district is
filled with poverty, violence, abuse, and witchcraft. While the present state
of the region is very bad, he has vision to introduce the gospel of the kingdom
and to bring societal transformation in the areas of agriculture and farming,
education, and business.
In
the district we are working in, 60% live below the poverty line. The people in
the village are so poor they cannot buy a house. Many of them simply build
their own shacks out of clay and mud. The shacks they have consist of four
walls, a ceiling and a floor. There is no furniture to speak of and the people
sleep on the dirt floors. Some of these shacks will house ten or more people.
They are so small the people will literally sleep shoulder to shoulder. There
are no restrooms. The people will simply use a hole in the ground. For those
that don't have a house, they will sleep outside.
As for food, the primary diet consists of
beans, bananas and potatoes. The people will either grow or find their food.
Some of the people that are more well off may have a goat, and the very well
off ones will have a cow. The water they use from the nearby lake is filthy.
The average person cannot drink this water. It is filled with dirt, parasites
and disease. It is no wonder that many of the people have various internal
diseases and diseases of the blood.
Life
in the village is very simple. Most of life revolves around eating, sleeping,
and dying. People die all the time. Death is so common it is rarely mourned. Parents will literally
have children that go out in the morning and don't return in the evening. The
lake they use for bathing and water has alligators which will sometimes attack
and kill the people, particularly the children.
As
for marriage and family, it is in a dire state. The men may have a wife, or
not, but they often just hang around and impregnate the women. Most of the
people in the village will not know who their father is. The women will begin
to have children around the age of 12 and just continue until they die or stop
ovulating. There is no birth control, very little money, no education for most
of the people, and no family structure. To make matters worse, many of the
people have a drinking problem.
Most
of the people in the village are completely illiterate. They cannot read or
write. The only skills they have are those which are essential to life. The
type of ministry necessary to reach these people must incorporate the teaching
of literacy, life skills, and technological solutions to help them overcome
their environment. For instance, farming is very hard as they don't have
effective tools. Moreover, in the summer the ground is very dry, dusty, and
claylike. They have no way to irrigate it without new technologies to allow
them to get the water from the lake. As it is, they will take a one hour
journey to the lake to simply collect enough water in jugs for drinking.
I
am making this journal entry after my second day in the village. When we
arrived the first day, we had a worship service and showed the movie "The
Passion" to the people. This brought out a huge crowd. I was also
introduced to some of the villagers and shown around the village. They showed me
the living situations of the people, the lake where they go to gather water,
and other elements of village life. After the movie showing, we went to the
"hotel." I'll discuss this place further in the next entry.
Today
I ministered in the evening. Jean rented some extra tents and including the 64
people that gave their life to Jesus this afternoon there were likely over 500
in attendance. I taught on the healing power of Jesus. At the end response to
the call for healing was overwhelming. As I ministered, God had me to prophecy
a word to the whole group declaring that their ability to believe God would
determine how much He would be able to do for them among other things. It was
very powerful. After I got done speaking the word I felt drunk in the spirit.
Under this anointing I prayed for and prophesied over one person after the
next. There were so many that eventually we simply had to stop and say a prayer
over all of those that were left. Hallelujah!
6/10/13
During
our three day campaign in the village we stayed in a hotel. This place was
unbelievable. The room had a bed and a table. That was it. The bathrooms were a
real challenge. The toilet was a filthy porcelain case around a hole in the
ground. Depending on the time of day, one might even find fresh poop lining the
hole. The place where a person bathed was a filthy concrete room with nothing.
To get clean a person has to wear sandals. They go into the place with a large
bowl or bucket. They then fill it with local water and wash by hand with a bar
of soap. Afterwards they dump the water on themselves to rinse off.
The
restaurants there are different than in the states. Here, in most restaurants
you just take what you get. There is no such thing as a menu. The concept goes
something like this: If you don't like it,
you can leave. The concept of customer service is non-existent. They make
food, you pay, end of discussion. The lack of excellence is unbelievable.
People care little about the appearance of their environment, and that is just
the way it is.
When
I preached on Sunday it was very powerful. I addressed demons and the authority
that Jesus has over them. The people in the village have a lot of problems with
demons, curses, and witchcraft. Ministry in this area is desperately needed. At
the end of my teaching I took the people into a corporate repentance for
certain sins. When we got to the sin of witchcraft the people were no longer
with me. I went into very heavy intercession at this point and prayed hard
while everyone watched. I was even stamping on the ground! When I was finished everyone
felt the breakthrough. I had the people pray with me again and this time there
was corporate repentance of witchcraft. After this we prayed about one more
issue but the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me that for now, we were done.
When
we returned in the evening we had a worship and prayer service. We prayed over
every person in the village that wanted individual prayer. Afterwards we said a
corporate prayer to bless the land. Beyond the spiritual break through and the
hundreds and hundreds of villagers that attending during the weekend, there
were over 60 people that accepted Jesus Christ for the first time, and if we
count the people that rededicated their lives to Christ, there were over 70
individuals that made a decision for Jesus. Praise Him! When we were finished
it was dark and we began our journey back to the city.
When
we got back I was so happy. I cannot remember the last time I had so much joy
over a shower with no hot water!! The next day was Monday. This is a pastor's
day of rest. We primarily worked on improving their website. We also had many
lively discussions and even spent some time developing a business plan for some
opportunities that I had no idea were available to Jean. There really is a ton
of potential here in Rwanda. The only ingredients that are missing to unlock
great wealth and economic development are start-up capital and people with an
entrepreneurial mind-set. This trip has taught me so much, and I have only been
here a few days. Praise God!
6/11/13
Today
I got a late start because we were up late the previous night working on their
website and writing a business plan. We got some food and then they took me to
the Genocide Memorial. The restaurant we went to advertised pizza and so I
decided to give it a shot. What I got wasn't pizza. It had dough, cheese, and a
number of other ingredients that left it tasting like any other local African
dish. It satisfied my stomach, so who am I to complain?
The
Memorial was very nice. It had beautiful gardens and I took plenty of pictures.
Ten minutes after I began touring the indoor exhibits, the power went out. This
was my first introduction to another common aspect of Rwandan life. Apparently the
power goes out on a regular basis. Since there was no backup generator everyone
simply had to go outside, end of discussion. Of course they don't force people outside,
but who is going to hang around in a pitch dark room? I walked around the
gardens and took a number of pictures. Then I camped out in their library area
and read materials on the genocide until Jean and his cohort Bosco returned
from where they had gone. (They had dropped me off and planned to get hair cuts
before picking me up). Apparently the power outage affected them too because
they didn't have their hair cut when they got back. Then we drove to another
area of the city.
The
rest of the day was spent running various errands. When we got back we were
visited by other members of the team that is helping Jean to reach the village.
Tomorrow we will be meeting with a real-estate agent to look at various
investment opportunities. Afterwards we will be travelling to the village to
minister again.
6/12/13
Today
was a good day for several reasons. Unfortunately there were several things
that took place today that were not so great. On the positive side, this
morning we finished the revamping of their website
www.rwandarestorationministry.org. This has been a major obstacle for them thus
far and so today was major breakthrough. In order to make this happen I was
working on their website until 2 am. Then in the morning we continued to tweak
it until it was perfect.
On
the downside we were supposed to take time this morning to look at various
investment properties, both in residential and business. The purpose was to get
a feel for what is required to acquire property in Rwanda and what kind of
opportunities are out there. The problem was that the real-estate agent we
called never came. He was supposed to arrive at 9 am and by 12:15 pm he still
hadn't arrived. Since we were going to the village we simply had to let this
opportunity go by. We will return to this task on another day. This is normal
business in Africa.
When
we went to the village there was more break through awaiting us. However, it
wasn't immediately apparent. When we pulled up to the church sight the hundreds
of villagers that had been present for the weekend events had dwindled to about
40-50 individuals. Nonetheless the evening was powerful. I again shared the
Word and spoke to the people about how God can change the landscape. I taught
about His power to cleanse and heal the land. The amazing thing was that after
I was finished and asked for questions, there weren't any. As a matter of fact,
one of the villagers who was formerly homeless stood up and commented that he
understood everything! Both during and after my teaching I had the people make
declarations of repentance and decrees to the land. We spoke to the land
commanding it to get in line with the Word of God. Afterwards we prayed for the
sick and had a powerful time of ministry.
Unbeknownst
to me, while I was preaching in the church Jean had gone to another part of the
village to visit with a man named Leonidas. The fact that Jean is now speaking
with the man at all has been a miracle. Leonidas was formerly part of the
Pentecostal church here, which due to their extremely rigid religious beliefs
look upon the common villagers as untouchables. Even preachers that reach out
to villagers are considered to be antichrist! However, during my first weekend
here he invited us into his house, fed us, and softened his heart towards us.
In any case, while going with the intention of meeting with this man Jean wound
up speaking with many of the non-Christian people in the village. It turned out
to be an incredible opportunity for Jean to bridge gaps with people in the
village that he has thus far avoided and that have thus for avoided him. He had
great favor with them and their testimony came back that they are not opposed
to coming to his church as long as they can get to know him. While we were
praying for breakthrough in the land Jean was experiencing breakthrough with
the unsaved villagers. It is simply amazing the way God is cracking open the
whole mission field.
As
we drove back, Jean and I stopped to get some food. Unfortunately the BLT I
ordered was absolutely disgusting! The bacon was at least a centimeter thick
and instead of baking or frying it, they boiled it. Yuck! Nonetheless, we also
had a great heart-to-heart discussion. As we talked we discussed several more
local investment and business opportunities that we will be exploring over the
next few days. The purpose for which will be to have local provision for
financing ministry and living expenses. Praise God!
6/14/13
By
the end of Thursday we had successfully completed three separate business plans
and then today we finished putting together a funding request. In addition, I
received communication regarding the possibility of having my own television
show in Chicago! Wow? Throughout the day on Thursday we focused mostly on
brainstorming and putting ideas and concepts into organized documents. The day
was divided up between doing this and eating. We also took a trip downtown to
meet with a professor who is working with Jean to put together their plans for
computer training partnership they are engaging in with the government. I also
found out that I would be preaching today (Friday) at a secondary school to
young adults (ages 19-21).
In
the morning Jean woke up determined to get breakthrough with a time of prayer.
I believe that is exactly what happened. I went all out and did something I
haven't done so aggressively in quite some time. I went to war with a spirit in
the second heaven. This is something that is difficult to explain to most
Christians since there is very little teaching on this. Even for me this is
something God had to introduce me to first hand. In any case this is the
account of what happened. After we entered into prayer I drifted into the gift
of discerning of spirits and explained what I began to see. I saw what appeared
to be a plain or landscape. There was a sort of sling shot device and it would
shoot balls into the sky. The projectiles would hit what was like a membrane
that surrounded the place like a sphere. While the projectiles would send shock
waves throughout the membrane, they would not pierce it.
Then
Jesus took me from that plane and into another membrane where I saw people of a
different nationality experiencing the same thing. I went out of that sphere
and saw that there were many spheres, representing many groups and ministries,
all experiencing the same thing in different parts of the world. When I backed
out of this viewpoint I realized that all of these spheres were orbiting
something. It was a giant throne within a sphere and there was a spirit on the
inside whose assignment was to maintain the membranes around the planes.
Jesus
took me up to this thing and I perceived it as if I were underneath the giant
throne on the left side. Then the spirit bend its head down--I looked at it and
it looked at me. I could feel the reality of the encounter in my spirit. The
best way I can explain this is that it felt as if my spirit
"locked-on" to this spirit. I knew that to do anything about this
spirit would mean doing some real heavy duty and exhausting warfare. I prepared
myself for a few minutes and then I went at it beginning with the words
"spirit I defy you to your face." The intention of my warfare was to
displace the spirit, which I believe was accomplished. It's a hard thing to
explain the kind of intensity that is required to contend with these types of
spirits in the second heaven. After I finished prophesying the vision that was
giving me insight into the issue I began to go after it. Screaming at the top
of my lungs I waged warfare on it and I broke its throne. I then declared open
heavens over every ministry affected by this issue. When I was done I was out
of breathe, exhausted, and extremely sleepy.
I
was tired for the rest of the day. I took two naps in an attempt to get enough
rest before preaching at a school that evening. I was truly worn out after this
encounter. This is why I don't particularly care for this kind of prayer.
Confronting very powerful spirits in the second heaven is necessary at times
but it is extremely draining. However, the other men that were with me all
testified that they felt something break.
That
evening I went to preach at a technical high school. I spoke to them about
greatness and how God needs to use the greatness in us for His purposes
relative an end times army that He is raising up. This was very difficult
preaching. I was trying to take different angles but to me it felt like
preaching to a wall. I felt like I didn't have anyone's attention, a few of the
students walked out, and I was trying to follow the Holy Spirit. When I felt
like I had reached a point where the anointing to teach completely lifted, I
just stopped and said it was time to pray. I said a prayer of salvation and
then I began to pray for the sick. I also spoke a prayer to inspire and release
the greatness and gifts that were resident within the students. The prayer at the
end was very powerful, but the teaching was extremely difficult.
The
real shocker was that the student pastor asked me to come back next week saying
he really enjoyed the teaching and wanted to hear more. Others came forward
afterwards saying the same thing. I prophesied over a number of them afterwards
which I believe was very powerful. While I believe I talked about the things
the Lord wanted me to discuss, I encountered a very real barrier in the spirit.
There is so much teaching that is lacking that it makes any attempt of moving
beyond a basic message difficult, particularly so since a large percentage of
the students, I came to find later on, do not even completely understand
salvation. If I go back next week we will see what happens.
6/15/13
God
does not cease to amaze me. While the prayer experience that I documented
yesterday may have seemed a bit extreme for some, here's just the beginning of
the fruit. Jean has been trying to meet with some gospel artists here in the
country for over a year now. However today, the day after our break through
prayer, we sat down with one of the most popular gospel artists in the country
(he is on the left in the picture). Moreover, he is on board to help Jean accomplish the goals that God has
given. God is unbelievable!
Today
we also finished a business plan for another operation.
6/17/13
The
miracles continue. On Sunday one of several amazing things we witnessed was
spontaneous giving by the people. For a year now the people have been very difficult
about giving any type of offering whatsoever, yet today they gave. Some gave
money, others produce, and one lady gave a huge sack of rice! Jean couldn't
believe his eyes. As I taught the people followed me the entire way through the
message. Real learning was taking place as I taught them how to hear from God.
Afterwards, there was a powerful time of ministry. I laid hands on many people
and a number of prophecies went forth regarding the release of ideas, concepts,
and innovations from heaven that will significantly impact the way things are
done in the village.
After
service we were informed that a gang in the area that had gone uncontested for
years were arrested by the government on Saturday. This was a miracle because
for years the government refused to do anything about this gang. What would
cause them arrest them all now? I believe this is just another part of the
break-through we are witnessing on a daily basis. I thought back to the prayer
on Friday. I wonder just how much was accomplished?
On
Monday, I spent a majority of the day battling with sick to my stomach. I think I ate
something bad on Sunday. Nonetheless, by the end of
the day I was healed.
6/19/13
Yesterday
was a fairly relaxed day. While there were various events that took place
throughout the day the most significant part of it was in the evening when I
went to minister at the university. I preached to several hundred students on
our identity as Kings in Christ (Revelation 1:6). The response was incredible
as the students were lit on fire as a result of the message. There was a great
deal of excitement that continued all the way back to Jean's home in the form
of singing and praising God. During the day I also had the opportunity to spend
some time giving counsel to an individual that I met over here.
Today,
however, was a busy day. It began with a meeting with the minister of health
and fitness in order to discuss the transfer of land and a school from another
local pastor and into Jean's oversight. He plans to use this school and land to
begin establishing his vision for a leadership institute. While nothing was
made official it was a necessary first step that will undoubtedly end in the
acquisition of land and a pre-existing school for absolutely no financial cost.
God is good.
Afterwards
we went back into the village for the Wednesday service. I ministered on faith.
The people swallowed it up and understood everything. It is incredible to watch
the break through that has taken place in just two weeks. When I first got here
they were clueless regarding many things, but now I can see the understanding
in their eyes. They have grown fond of me and every time I stand before them to
teach it gets easier because there is expectation now.
After
finishing in the village we drove back to the university for a second teaching.
I only had about 10 minutes to teach and so I simply built upon the foundation
I laid yesterday and gave them an illustration using identification cards.
While I didn't have enough time to really teach the concept I know that some of
them grasped it. For those that didn't, I believe by faith that the prayers
that were said afterwards imparted change and transformation anyway. While it
wasn't as amazing as yesterday I am confident that the impact was felt.
6/20/13
Today
started with a bang. We had a very powerful time of prayer and breakthrough in
the morning. Jean had a powerful touch from God during this time. The most
notable aspect of the morning for me was when I prophesied that Jean was now to
receive his assignment to the apostolic office. By doing this he would receive
a new grace that would make things that were formerly difficult become easy. After
I got done prophesying the atmosphere was incredible and all we could do was
sit in silence in awe of the Lord's presence.
After
prayer we spent some more time working on business objectives. In the evening I
closed my three part sermon on the Kingly identity that God has given us. The
students ate it up. They had genuine understanding. I could tell they were with
me tonight and I am praising God for the breakthrough He brought to their
understanding of identity and world view. Praise the Lord.
6/23/13
Today
is Sunday. This is the record of the past three days. On Friday we spent all
day working on business projects to generate finances to fund ministry here.
The doors and opportunities that God opened were absolutely incredible.
On
Saturday we worked on their Sobanukirwa.com project all day. This is an effort
that they are using to preach the gospel while partnering with the government
for the agenda of raising the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
literacy from 4% to 53% nationally in five years. Through this avenue they have
trained hundreds of people in different districts and have had the opportunity
to preach the gospel to them all. They are looking to expand the scope of this
particular outreach.
I
began by editing their program overview. I also wrote an open letter to solicit
for event sponsorship for their upcoming event in India and I wrote letters to
invite Ministers of the Rwandan Government to speak at the event. In addition
we met with a contact I was given by a friend I have in the states. We also
logged several more business ideas, all of which will generate large amounts of
revenue that can be used to finance ministry both here and abroad. The way God
is piecing things together is new, fresh, and frankly mind-blowing. I am literally
watching God establish my friend in an entirely new approach to ministry which
will have the capacity to revolutionize world missions.
On
Sunday we were back in the village. Today the people sacrificially gave again. Last
week one person gave a big bag of rice, this week, one person gave a big bag of
sweet potatoes. Many gave financially. This is incredible because we are not
soliciting their giving, this is being led by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, they
are coherent. They are gaining comprehension and understanding. Initially, they
were physically present but mentally checked out. The first time I spoke to
them a majority were not paying attention... they were there because of the
tents, the loudspeakers, and the movie that had been promised for the evening.
This
is common in Africa because--frankly--people have nothing to do. If people see
that others are gathering somewhere--they go. This is something that many
American's which have never left the country to do mission work cannot
understand. The problem is that the same people that will raise their hands and
be in the Christian crusade pictures on Monday will raise their hands and be in
the Muslim pictures on Tuesday. Understanding doesn't take place. The people
will get food, get a bicycle, get a water filter, etc. and when the salvation
call goes forth, its only respectful in their mind to do what the "nice
people" are asking. This does not mean the people are becoming true
disciples of Jesus.
What
I have learned since being here is that people have no teaching. When I say no
teaching, I mean that many that have sat in church for over a decade cannot
quote even one or two verses of scripture. People don't read, even if they know
how. In the villages where illiteracy prevails, it is even worse. In America
people are trained to believe what they read. Here, people are trained to
believe what they hear. This creates a very different culture. There is a very
different mind-set. The negative aspect of this issue is that the people here
stay in ignorance regarding the Christian faith. They just say the same things
they were told, and then preach what they feel like saying. Since no one reads
no one stands up to point out that there is a problem. Thus there are many people
that while they may attend a Christian church, they have no clue about what the
Bible actually says. The worst part is that many don't care, as they are
mentally checked out the majority of the time anyway.
This
is why this trip has resulted in so much break through. The village that Jean
is targeting has these same problems. The people have been coming to church,
but have remained largely disengaged. However, since I have been here, the
people are finally understanding what they are hearing. Even they themselves
are saying that they can't believe the move of God which is bringing
understanding and revelation to the church. They are gaining real confidence
and faith in Jesus Christ. They are no longer checked out, but now they are
listening and their testimonies prove that they are applying what they are
learning. It is incredible. When I am speaking to them I can see the light in
their eyes. I can see that God is lighting a fire on the inside of them.
Today
I was with them for the last time. I spoke to them on prayer. The intensity
with which they were listening was phenomenal. It has been such a blessing to
be a part of God's breakthrough in this mission field. Afterwards, Jean drove
me to another place where he is planning to build his creation center, medical
facility, school, and other elements of his vision. The man that owns the land
has already approached Jean to say that God spoke to him. He is convinced that
he is supposed to sell the land to Jean. Even if it takes years, he has
promised Jean that he will not sell the land to anyone else or do anything with
it because he has heard from God. Talk about provision from heaven!
We
spent some time visiting with another minister this evening and then went to
get our first real meal of the day (it was after 7:00 pm by this point). With a
mere three days left in this country I am expecting God to do much more before
I leave. I truly serve a God of break through.
6/25/13
I
spent the majority of the day on Monday and Tuesday working on projects and
going to meetings. God set up a series of events that still has our heads
spinning.
6/26/13
Today
we did not go to the village. We stayed in the town and ran errands. While I
considered staying some extra time, after looking into it we all agreed that
the difficulty involved in me staying longer on this trip was not the best
course of action. This was the day I was to leave. However, we learned that
hundreds of villagers went to church for the Bible study!! This means the Bible
study on this day was larger than the Sunday service for the former two weeks.
This is break through! This is fruit! This is revival! This was the note on
which I packed my bags, boarded my plane, and came back to the states to
deliver the report. Praise the Lord!
