By an Alliance worker couple serving in West Africa
In the past, a village boasting a lake of sacred crocodiles was opposed to any outreach events organized by the local Alliance church. Residents had been negatively affected by a false teacher, whose influence produced demonic activity in the village.
After several visits by the pastor and the evangelism team, which comprised pastors and lay leaders from the city church, a few people started to show interest in the gospel. An outreach sponsored by Alliance medical workers was a big step in demonstrating the validity of the Alliance church. While they conducted health teachings, a team of pastors prayed for people, asking God to move in the village.
That evening, several individuals received Christ. The C&MA churches’ district leadership sent a group of pastors to stay for a week to disciple these new believers and answer the questions of others, who have expressed interest in the good news.
Praise God! A piece of land has been promised for a future church site, and the district plans to install a student pastor.
Pray for the successful discipleship of those who received Jesus and that seekers will come to faith.
