Friday morning found us at a local crafters marketplace. The African wares were beautiful and the vendors aggressive with their sales pitch. We all learned the art of bargaining and walking away. When we left, we all had bundles of items to load into the van. As successful as shopping was, this isn’t really what we came for. We were on mission even at the marketplace. All of us had many opportunities to explain and hand out tracts. Some of us shared our testimonies and gospel presentations. Pray for the many who received parts of the word yesterday. Specifically, pray for Luckie, David, and Ivan. At first we shared the gospel with Ivan’s friend, who towards the end identified himself as a born again believer, but pointed his friend out saying that he needed to hear this message. As we explained to Ivan, he asked to have the presentation repeated twice. A crowd began to gather behind him and listened in intently. Ivan wasn’t ready to make a decision but was serious as he asked us to pray for him while he sorted things out that he would become ready. We prayed with Ivan. You might pray for us as we pack our goods in the suitcases to bring home, too! Once home, we began preparing for our part in tonights’ city church’s children’s Bible club.
