Rains in Africa

Last Sunday we had the joy of sharing with the Crossroads Church here under their tent which they have been using as a gathering place. I had a wonderful time telling the Resurrection Story. The Holy Spirit was moving at the end of the meeting as we ministered to those desiring prayer.

Over these last few days there have come some unseasonable rainstorms here in Kezi. Tuesday night the storm came so strong that it tore down the tent where Crossroads meets. We are asking God for the needed provision to build a more permanent structure on that site.

With the storm we have been without power. We are living by candle light. I am writing this blog using a generator to power the modem. There are three of us here using our moments on-line to the max.

We have been meeting this week with the apprentices at Ebenezer Agricultural Training Center here in Kezi. We have been focusing on 'Demolishing Strongholds', using stories especially from the ministry of Jesus.

At Ebenezer young men and women study 'Foundations for Farming'. This serves them in building a sustainable income and a hope for the future. This works side by side with Crossroads, the new church plant, in bringing the Good News of Jesus' salvation to this region.
