Breaking New Ground!



These are some of the pastors and evangelists who left at 4:30 am yesterday (Wednesday) for a ground breaking journey! (The picture though is of them at a different time.)

There were twelve of them, armed with the Word of God and with hearts full of joy to be setting off on a quest for the Gospel!

They were traveling in a convoy of nine motorbikes to the area of Tignapuluan which has many remote villages. It is a large area which we have been burdened for in prayer and it is an area where we have been considering locating a team of missionaries who would be jointly sent from the Lapoc and Dulangan churches.

We are expecting their return on Saturday afternoon and all the churches from here to Lantod are expectantly waiting for the news they will bring back from this survey.

Please pray for safety as they travel. They could encounter areas where there are bandits or rebels and they are unknown to that area. Please also pray for open doors to the Gospel in the outlying villages they will be visiting and for direction from the Lord as to exactly which place we would locate a new team of missionaries.

“Pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the Word, to declare the mystery of Christ…..” Colossians 4:2b
