The weekend of May 23 and 24, Luke and 5 students from the Discipleship School ministered to a new village and their church. The village is accessible only by foot. It is truly a “new” village, with no public school available for the children. In this country, we are used to seeing every, single village have its own primary school.
These pioneers have built their homes far apart as they thrive on farming. There is a center/market, so the team was able to have an open-air meeting with choirs and evangelistic preaching. Three other churches also made the trek by foot, bringing their speakers and sound system (and choir members carrying the equipment!) for the weekend meetings.
On Sunday, they were all up early and walking to the nearby stream where 15 people were baptized. The students then helped with the children’s meetings and the preaching at the main service. After a rousing meeting where 6 choirs performed, it was time for a quick lunch and then the 3 hour walk back.
But that was only to where they had left the car! They hopped in and drove about an hour to the ferry crossing. The ferry was on the other side, but it was quickly nearing the time when it would do its last crossing of the day. Thankfully, it did cross over, and the team made it back. It was 9 pm by the time Luke got home — dusty, tired and sore. But thankful for a good weekend trip to the village of Kasagati, where God is building His church!
Thank you for your continued prayers!
