Today we drove 65 kilometers out of town then headed down a dirt road for another 45 kilometers. The dirt road had recently been graded and was in decent shape for about 65% of it - after that, things slowed down and got a bit rougher!
I was able to see an area in which there are very few churches and no Independent Baptist churches. I did speak with 1 pastor that had a small church next to a local basic school. He was pleading with me to come back to train him further and plant more churches in the area. From his perspective, the people there were not faithful and didn't follow the ways of Christ. Because this is the time of harvest many people have money - of course, when people have money you will find out what is important to them. This Pastor felt beer drinking was of high importance for many living in the bush area and unfortunately for many members of the church.
I feel this is an area that is still very new ground and hardly touched by Biblical Christianity. Although the drive is long it seems worth it to bring God's word to these people. Please be praying for God's clear direction as we continue to seek to see through His eyes!
