Extension 23

I know many of you reading this have enjoyed the people of extension 23, just as we have. Since we have been apart of our church family back home for 15 years – it took us awhile to hear clearly from the Lord where He wanted us.  Finally we decide that extension 23 would be our home church while we are here.

Now that we are committed, and in the beginning phases of building relationships, Rob has had the privilege of starting a small group with some of the leaders of the church.  Please join us in praying for this community.   Like many places in Africa, it is known as a fatherless generation, with a lot of drug and alcohol abuse, poverty,  and unemployment.  This tends to breed hopelessness, but we are praying against that, and asking God to help us find ways to engage the lost.

Our goal is the share the gospel, plain and simple, with no extra bells and whistles.  Oddly enough, the extension has many churches, but very few (if any) are teaching from scripture and staying true to God’s word.  One of the main goals of this group is to develop a strategy to engage the community with Christ as our perfect example.  We can see that this community is tired of the “religious prosperity gospel”.

Praise God we are already seeing evidence of God’s light in this lost community.  Thank you again for your involvement into our ministry.  Your financial commitments have allowed us to accomplish a few tasks, that have made a big difference.  Stay tuned for more…..
