Church History

This week I was teaching a class of 14 men on the subject of Church history. Although I did not really finish the course because of time constraints we did run through a broad stroke of Church history and then began a more refined study. We made it through the first 600 years quickly but I think we all were reminded of God's sovereignty throughout the ages. It is not always easy to see our Lord work in the daily life of His people or among the nations; however, when we step back and see the big picture it is quite impressive to realize God is doing so much! 

We had some interesting discussions about doctrines, Baptist history, Baptist persecution, etc. I think some of the men were quite surprised at the richness of Church History! While the government school is on break, we rent a couple rooms and use them as Bible classrooms. The men eat, sleep, and learn all in the 1 room! Praise the LORD!

I handed out 5,000 Chewa tracts and 300 John and Romans to the men for use at their churches! We pray the materials will be a benefit in evangelizing and reaching their communities for Christ!
