I thought I would give you a quick update of the seminar on Muslim evangelism which we had at our Gungu chapel Monday through Wednesday.
It went very well. We averaged around 30 people per session. Monday was all teaching (morning and afternoon) with 4 sessions. On Tuesday there were 2 sessions in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, followed by evangelism. We divided up into 6 groups of 2 or 3 people each. (We did not force anyone who did not feel ready to go). Each group went to a different neighborhood road and we went door to door to talk to people about Christ and the Gospel. We took with us tracts and gospels of John. It was scary and exciting.

Each group went at its own pace. The report the next day confirmed that our neighborhood has quite a few more Muslims than "Christians". Some encountered opposition from the Muslims, but most were at least willing to listen, and accept literature, and some even allowed us to pray for them at the end. Some of the "Christians" were nominal Christians or Catholics, or no longer attending church, so they needed the Gospel and/or encouragement too.
Wednesday was a similar format to Tuesday and we went out again to evangelize in the afternoon. All in all it was a very good experience for all of us. It was wonderful to see the excitement of the believers as they shared their reports of how things went in their group.

We want to thank all of you who prayed for us. We know that God heard your prayers and strengthened us for the task. Please keep praying, that this would be an ongoing exercise and that in the long term it would bear fruit. We need persistence to reach the Muslims, whose minds have been blinded to the truth for so long that it is difficult for them to receive God's Word, which is the only thing that can change them. Keep praying for us. With God all things are possible.
We thank God for your partnership in the Gospel,
Sincerely,
