TESTIMONY.

James giving to me few to pray and to take home for food.

our joy and dance
our team in the farm house
our team taking a tour of the farm
this is the farm of the church leader
It is always a joyful thing to see that all that a man have been saying to his friends are been put into practice, he reason for saying this is, God has blessed some of my friends this year.
God gave to me the opportunity to always share in the Mabaan Church, and one thing I do is to always listen to that good quite voice that always lead me on.
One day I was given the chance o speak to the church, and so I took me reading from the book of Ephesians, 5: 15-16. I talked to the church on the importance of wisely using our time. It use to be that all the people just wit down and wait for NGO’s to provide for them claiming that this is our land and we have to benefit from it, I told them that the land belongs to them but the money is not theirs, and so instead of waiting fro a man to come and say take this 10 EB, why not you say take to him.
We also talked about, the fact that he who always buys is the foolish man, but he that sells is the wise man, advising them to learn how to sell not just to buy. And if you have no money it is better to start a small farm that will help feed the family instead of buying always and you are not even working to earn the money to use for buying.
It was really a challenge to them to hear this type of talk from the pulpit, and that was long ago, before the rainy season of 2009, we all left the church quite and cold from the sermon.
But, as the Bible says
“My word shall not go Back empty, they shall accomplish the purpose they are sent for” I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN, happily enough for me this past December, I have been visiting the farms of other people from the Uduk church, (there I did not preach) and I found that they have also done something to help their families, little did I know that the Mabaan church members also picked up the challenge to go back to farm. I was invited to one of the farms, and to my surprise it was more that I ever thought of, and I received the testimony from the owner saying, “I have never bought anything fro the market anymore, I have seen the great change in my income and my family never have to stay hungry again even for a day” I was full with joy and I danced, to the glory of God, thank God they’ve heard the good news and are responding to it positively. I visited the others also to see what they have done for last year and it was awesome, thank God for them, and for a fruitful sermon.
