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.

CHURCH LEADERS DINNER
THE CHURCH LEADERS AND THEIR ELDERS AND DEACONS.
End of the year is such a good time, as many people here hosted friends, to a big dinner, we were also invited to most of these dinners.
So we thought of what to do and the Lord says to us “invite the church leaders and their elders and host them, tell them about their good work, and also try to advice them on the neglected areas, and that is evangelism”
So we obeyed the voice of the Lord and invited the leaders of the two churches, this I mean, the Uduk,and the Mabaan churches, plus their elders and deacons.
But trust the Lord for his goodness all the missionaries also came and our neighbours also joint, it was a great time as I shared the word of the Lord and also gave my own advice, as the Lord directed me.
At the end of all things the two church leaders gave thanks to God for all he has done and for his love to them, the also appreciated all that took place and called it an eye opener. The missionaries also said their own thanks and encouraged that this will continue all year ends.
THE TIME TO SHARETIME TO EAT IT WAS LITTLE BUT THE AIM FOR GATHERING WAS ACHIEVED
THE CLOSING PRAYER.
OUR THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HIS LOVE AND WISDOM TO US, AND FOR USING US TO ENCOURAGE THE CHURCH LEADERS, WE PRAY THAT ALL THAT HAS BEEN SAID WILL BE PUT TO USE IN JESUSNAME ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TO KEEP PRAYING FOR THEM.
