If We Build It…

IF THEY BUILD IT WE WILL COME
I am getting a new, custom built home. It is not being constructed to my
specifications or at my request. Villagers in Lekiji have decided that we
need a home base in their area from which to work.
One Samburu man, with whom we have worked for seven years, says God has
showed him the plan to reach his people in this place with the
Good News. Since the beginning of 2009, he has started ten churches in as
many villages. Charlie has been working to train leaders for each of these
churches. Each church has started a preschool so the small children do not
have to walk to the far away government school. The next step in reaching
“everyone” is to hold evening classes for the children and youth who are out
with animals during the day and cannot attend school. They will meet for two
hours; one hour spent in learning to read and another hour spent with the
News of God.
Clearly, this is a place where God is working and we are blessed to be
able to join Him. The house they are building is an invitation from the
villagers in this area who have decided to follow Jesus and who are
testifying to the positive changes happening in their communities. They want
to see more of us. They want to learn more about God’s Word. They even seem
to understand God’s directive to share His news with their neighbors; in the
next village, over that mountain, and beyond.
