We
have now been at Oasis Christian Church in Selebi-Phikwe,
Botswana for 5 months and are seeing God do good things in the lives of
the people here. We are seeing the people rise to a greater
level of love and adoration in the worship and prayer in the church is
taking a greater emphasis. We
have been having 3 days of prayer and fasting at the end of each month
and finishing it with a night of prayer. Each month the numbers are
building as each person catches the importance of prayer in the
church. There is a noticable difference in the spiritual atmosphere.
It is our desire to see many people come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Saviour and we are finding an openness to share with
others. Their is such a need in this country for people to experience
more than just a religious experience but a true and lasting
relationship with the Lord. So many are dying of aids that there is a
unconcerned attitude towards death.
There seems to be a real openness to spiritual things among the people
here. We are starting an outreach program for a month's trial among the
unemployed on the 6th July whereby we will feed the people with a
sausage on bread and at the same time share with them briefly the
message of salvation. Please pray that we will see many people come to
the Lord.
