More good news from Arusha Church of Christ.
Today, I would like to write a few words for you so that you can continue to see how great our God is. For the past few weeks, evangelists from various congregations have been involved in reaching out to many souls with the gospel. This has led to a busy and blessed month which has resulted in a bountiful harvest. More souls are added day by day as we continue with the follow up studies. It is very encouraging to see people who have obeyed the gospel to attend various classes during the week. Our Wednesday Bible class is now back to its original size, and we expect more to attend in order to study together and worship our God. The Church here has introduced a prayer session in which everyone in the neighborhood are invited to attend and present their prayer requests for the men of the congregation are to pray about.
As a preacher with help of the men, I now focus on training more men to take leadership positions, thanks to brother Marcel who is now developing a desire to serve in the Leadership position. These new people in the church need to be visited and encouraged because their denominational Pastors are not happy at all. This is why we fervently need your prayers. One thing that I have learned during this campaign is that new people are the ones inviting their new friends to come and seek the truth. This is wonderful for evangelism, but it also incurs ill behavior from some denominational leaders who are unhappy about this.
Please continue to pray for the new 65 souls who have obeyed the gospel during our November campaign. We have been able to reach out to those who are not coming and keep teaching them the basic principles and the number of attendance now is 40. We have two from the list who are worshiping in the nearby congregation.
Radio program:
Just a brief word on the radio program! We have more people calling to ask for more studies, and we invite them to come to Bible classes at the church. Regardless of a few challenges the true gospel is being preached and according to the statistics from the radio station more then 400,000 people are listening to us. Keep this program in your prayer list.
Thank you again for your love, support, and prayer for this work as we all continue working for Him and the Kingdom.
In Christian Love,
