So I wrote this blog a month ago and just realized that I forgot to post it. oops, sorry about that. But like they say, better late the never aye?
So my teammate Whitney and I have started a women’s bible study at the small church that we’ve been attending. It has been so cool seeing how God’s hand is the one that is completely guiding this study. We were blown away the first day with a great group of ladies ready and excited to learn God’s word. Nothing went according to our plan, which was good because they were our plans not God’s. In the end, that first day many ladies heard about Jesus for the first time! Praise the Lord! One lady in particular, Rosa Rial, is seeking the Lord like crazy! It was amazing to see her wrestle with the Word of God and ask questions and desire to know more. So all in all, the first bible study was a big success, Praise the LORD!
The next bible study however, was more of a challenge. Our friend John Puot, a Dinka Baptist pastor that goes to the Rumbek Secondary School was not able to come to the bible study to help us translate. So Whitney and I prayed and prayed that God would provide a translator for us or grant us with the gift of tongues (specifically the Dinka tongue). So it was the night before the bible study, and there was no translator and it was my turn to teach the story. Looks like it’s gonna be the gifts of tongues.
So that night, I prepared to teach them the story of the woman who was bleeding for 12 years and was healed because in faith she reached out to touch Christ’s clothes…. In Dinka. Now although I have been in Sudan for about 8 months now, my Dinka is not quite up to the level of teaching. So Praise the LORD, for He is faithful. The ladies were able to tell the story back to me and to each other. It also really solidified our relationship with them.
Please be praying that God is stirring in their hearts and giving them a desire to worship Him only. And please also be praying that Whitney and I are constantly walking in His Spirit and seeking His guidance in how to lead His precious sheep so that He is glorified.
