Makhua Ministry Feedback
June 2024
Hi everyoneHow does one measure spiritual "success"? I don't think it's something you do, but what I am willing to say, is that the recent visit to Muapula and the training there exceeded ALL expectations on my part.
Without exception, the students excitedly gave feedback at the end about how new worlds had opened up for them. Many things have been mentioned in this regard, but the three most mentioned are probably:
Great breakthroughs as far as reading and understanding the Bible and preparing messages are concerned;
A completely new understanding of and thinking about who God is - especially from the perspective of the Makhuas’ worldview and
Astonishment about the depth and true meaning of the message of the cross of Jesus.
We thank the Lord for all the prayers that were answered - from safe trips, to health, to protection of loved ones, to very good fellowship between the students, and above all that God was glorified in the two weeks!
What a privilege for me to be able to invest in the lives of people who go back to seven, eight different areas where I will never get out!
For us/you there are now a few important things left to pray about as far as this group goes:
We must pray for them in the meantime until their return to Muapula;
We must already pray for their preparation for the second part which begins August 19;
We must pray that everyone will be able to come back for the completion of the training;
We must pray that the Lord will achieve His purpose with them and in them;
We must pray that they will live and trumpet the true Gospel wherever they are!
I am attaching the photos of the 14 individuals. You can decide to pray for one or two of them regularly; you can divide the names in your small group and pray for them regularly, or of course you can pray for everyone yourself.
Of the 13, Domingos and Custódio are the two who are attending the course a second time, because they will be trained together with some of this year's course to present the training themselves in time to come. More on this later.
Love in Him!
Gerard and Vanessa
