Mbsala

This past week, we journeyed by bicycle to Mbsala - a bush church near to the mission. The church service was already started by the time we arrived (due to our poor sense of direction while on bicycle). After we caught our breath, we were able to enjoy the service. I preached a message from Phil 3 - discussing the duty of a Christian to desire and "know" the Lord. One man came forward to call on the Name of Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
After the service, the entire church went down to the river (about 45 min walk). All the way we sang songs and praised the Lord. Once to the river, the pastor baptized 6 people while a couple men stood as look outs for hungry crocodiles. It was another great day to be part of the body of Christ! Always exciting to see people growing and maturing in their Christian walk of faith!
