Church in Town Center

We have been here in Namibia 4 months now.  Boy how time zooms by!  We have been gathering weekly for our youth meetings at the church since we arrived.  Our church is on the north side of town and not close to where most of the active people are coming and going during the day.

So beginning this Saturday we are going to start having our youth meetings outside at the town center.  There are tons of people that are all about in the town center.  Our thinking is that most unbelievers are intimidated by coming to a church, so by God's leading I have decided to take church to the people.

We will be having praise and worship, along with our normal Bible study, just out in the open where anyone can come by and listen to what is going on.  We and the youth have started to pray this week for God to richly bless this new way of reaching the people of Grootfontein with the message of the gospel.  We are praying that God will lead people to stop and listen to what we talk about, and what God says to us through His Word.  Paul tells us that the power of the gospel is in the Word itself, and how will people believe if they have not heard.  So this is why we are going to take the gospel to the streets of Grootfontein

Please pray with me and our youth for God to move mightily through His word, and our bold youth, so that for His glory many might come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior!
