I can SEE!!!

Recently we helped this lady, Lola, have cataract surgery and after years of blurred vision, she can now see.

When her eyes were first opened – after the surgery – she looked around in wonder and said, “I can see the mountains.....I CAN SEE YOUR FACES......I can see EVERYTHING!!”

What excitement!! What joy!!!

We can only imagine the difference this must mean in her life.

Next week there is another group of people who will
 be given their sight!

A group of criminals are hearing the Gospel for the first time!!

In a place called Talid-talid, a hide-out for criminals and one of the

furthest outreaches from Lapoc, this group have been listening

to the preaching of the Word since Feb 17, 2012.  

Truth after truth, verse after verse has been expounded to them,

replacing all the lies that they have been believing all their lives,

showing them that from the beginning, before the world was even

made, God had them in His heart and made a way so that they could

have a relationship with Him. They have gotten to know the 
Lord Jesus and have been learning about His life.

Next week they are finally at the foot of the cross and are 
ready to hear about everything that happened

 to Jesus on the cross so that 
He could pay for their sin.
 Some have already been able to see that Jesus is their

Saviour and they have believed. 
Others are just on the brink of being able 
to clearly see the truth.  

What a wonderful thing to be able to SEE!!!!

Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake speaks volumes in any language – especially to kids!

These kids had never seen us before and they were scared of us at first but we won their hearts by taking them chocolate cake.

Now we are praying that Jesus will win their hearts with His love as His Word has just arrived in their village and their Dads and Mums are hearing the truth about God for the first time in their lives. Pray that light will flood their hearts and that these children grow up being children of light and not children of darkness.

These kids need something of far more value then chocolate cake. They need life without end, they need truth, they need to know that Jesus loves them and gave His life for them.

While my arms were wrapped around the little girl leaning on me in the above picture, I could feel the amulets that her parents had tied around her waist in a vain effort to ward off evil spirits. Their trust is in the powers of the witchdoctor and in their own efforts but we need to pray that they will be freed from this terrible oppression and darkness and will come into freedom and life!
