The church conference in Ricodo was
wonderful – we had an amazing time of ministry and fellowship! The church
leadership had done a superb job of planning and preparing.
One of the highlights was 22 new
believers being baptized!!
The river was flooded, and the current was
swift, so it was quite funny at times watching the struggle it was to hang onto
the people being baptized! 5 of the bible teachers did the baptizing.
Over the past year, the Ricodo church has
had about 50 baptisms.
BAUNGON
During the evening service, the speaker
stopped and announced that the evangelists who had been teaching that day in
the new outreach to the Baungon area had just arrived. He asked them to come up
to the front and these 7 very humble servants of God went up. The whole
building erupted into great applause!!! All the churches are so thrilled
that the Gospel is going out to Baungon and they are doing all they can to help!
No one likes to be on a remote road and to see Men
step out of the forest like they are about to ambush you but this is what happened
to udi and his fellow-evangelists as they travelled to Baungon. They stopped,
expecting the worse, and the ‘Ambushers' said, “we know who you are, you are
the ones preaching the way of salvation in higaunon. No one has ever come here
sharing that message in our own language. we want you to come and teach us in
our village too!!!
Pray with us
about whether Baungon is the next place where God would have us open up a new
work and send a missionary team to live full-time! And
an update on the couple we asked for prayer for: God had the victory!!
New
leaders of the Ricodo church were prayed for along with their families.
