Grace and Peace to you friends. The theme of this week's report is finding silver linings!
We start this week with an update from the farm. Though we've been praying for rain, the unseasonably dry weather has resulted in losing this year's corn crop. The positive side of that is we have enough corn stored up from previous crops to last us for two years. The dry weather is driving up the price of corn which puts us in an advantageous position since we have plenty of reserves. Nevertheless, we continue to pray for the rains!
We continue by expressing our sympathy for Amos Kinasa, the evangelist at the Lulembela church, on the sudden passing of his wife of more than 30 years, Magreth. Despite the great grief, I appreciate Amos's attitude. As family and friends gathered to mourn Magreth, the gospel was shared. In Amos's own words, "I give God thanks because during the time of the event of my wife passed away one believer has come again into the church... and two souls obeyed." We pray for God's comfort for Amos and his children.
Including these two souls, in recent weeks 6 of the congregations have told me of 14 baptisms and 7 restorations between them. We praise God for giving the increase! May He continue to do so.
Till all have heard,
