One possitive aspect of holding a conference in the middle of the market is that you get extra people listening to the proclaiming of the Gospel! While 150 people were expected to attend, there were probably about 200 or more people crowding around the tents!
We taught all day for the two days. On Saturday, we covered the topics: (1) What is the Gospel? (2) Prayer (3) How to Study the Bible (4) The Christian Life / Home and (5) Evangelism. On Sunday, we covered the topics: (1) Be Useful, Not Useless - a message from Philemon (2) The Church (3) Quiet time and (4) Know the Word.
Many of the People were feeling very encouraged and touched by the messages. Before we could finish the first lesson, people were asking for copies of our notes. So, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednessday Phil has been compiling the notes and preparing one document with all the lessons. (If you are interested in having a copy, email Phil, and he can send you a PDF copy.)
Probably the most interesting experience of our entire time in Chwele was while we were teaching. There is a Muslim Mosque near the market place, and as usual, five times a day there would be a call to prayer. There is nothing quite as unique as proclaiming Jesus Christ as the Lord, the name above every name, the only name under heaven whereby men might be saved, the Lamb which was slain to save all mankind - all while you hear the call to prayer in the background.
This was such a clear picture to us! There are such strongholds throughout all the world! There are so many who have not come to the Lord, Jesus Christ, so many who are lost and read to fall into the pit where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth! Who will go to them? Who will share the ONE TRUE LIGHT, Jesus, in the places of darkness? This is why we are here! This is why we must go!
Dear believers, will you go?
