We have tremendous news from one of our newest church plants!!!!
Two preachers from the church at Bwiru (started by Greg Wagoner), Delphinas and Musa, have had the burden to start a church on the island of Sengerema. For several months now, these two men have been alternating going to Sengerema every weekend. They have been visiting, winning souls, and meeting with a group of new believers every weekend. They didn't have a place to meet so they used people's homes, grain storage units, or wherever they could meet. Recently, one of our supporting churches, the Fellowship Baptist Church in Greeneville, Tennessee, donated the funds in which to build this new group of believers a modest church building.
This past Sunday was the first Sunday for them to meet in their new building. Everyone was excited!!! Invitations were given to the village chief and other leaders in the community. Leading up to the service on Sunday, there were special evangelistic meetings on Friday and Saturday evening. There were over 200 in attendance at the special meetings on Friday and Saturday.
On Sunday, there was a big crowd including the village chief. At the invitation time, many responded by putting their faith in Christ as Savior. A total of over 60 adult salvation decisions were made over the weekend. This is the exciting part of starting a new church. Now comes the tedious work of teaching and training new believers. Please pray for this new church that God would protect it from spiritual wolves, and that these new believers would grow in grace. Also, pray for Delphinus and Musa as they work with this new church.
