Last
term
was
a term of preparations. Wespent it
learning
theTurkana
language
and participating in their
very unique
culture. Wespenta lot of
time
praying and
searching for just the right method to reach theTurkana
so that thegospel wouldmakesense in the contextof
their unique culture. God, in His wisdom, led us to
fourteen seemingly ordinary mento train
as
His
disciples.
Debbie
and I spent a lot of time
developing
relationships
with those fourteen
guys
and their families. Many
times
we felt
that
maybe
our
time should
bespentdoingother
things
that brought quicker, more
visible results;
but, we
always felt God
telling
us to justkeep plugging
away.
By
the
time
wewenton furlough
we were calling them
leaders
because
theywere all leading at
least
their
families. Many
of
them
were actively leading
other
villages too.
We
felt
pretty
good
about
leaving them
on
their own for a
year;
althoughit was an anxious time,
always
wondering how they
were
doing.
Were they
leading? Werethey
even
hanging on to their faith?
Word came from one of our co-workers that they
were
continuing to meet together
as
a group; and that
they
had not faltered
in
gathering people for
church. We
were
reassured
. ..
and
excited
about
th e
future.
Today
we re bearing the fruit of that long first term of
preparation. Those original fourteen
leaders
are
now
beginning the process of
training twenty
new leaders
from
five totally new areas. They ve arranged themselves
together in groupsof three,eachgroup
responsible
for
teachingfour men from eachof the
five
new
areas.
We ve
been amazed to see
their
incredible enthusiasm
over this big responsibility.
Forty-two
leaders
gatheredfor thefirst time everfrom
al l
of
our
CMFTurkana reports.
Would you
pray
for these guys?
