Go!

Matthew 28v18,

Jesus said to his disciples, 'I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, GO and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you, and be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age'.

I love this passage so much because I love this commandment to GO. To go in the knowledge that we are going in HIS authority, knowing that he is always with us.

I love putting this passage into action in the new evangelism and discipleship afternoons I am now doing. Its such a privilege and joy to be His messengers of His good news! This afternoon I was walking into the village and heard a small, 'boa tarde' (good afternoon) by an old lady through the fence. Using this as a good opportunity to share the gospel, we quickly walked in through her little correguated iron fence. After establishing that she had never heard about Jesus before, we told her the whole gospel. She was so keen to express that she wanted to have a relationship with this God, and after praying with her, she couldn't hold in her gratutide for us stopping for her. She said that 'she never before thought that something like this could happen to her!'. Praise the Lord!!

Isn't is amazing when we do 'stop for the one'?!

So many people have become christians in this community now that we are going to start up a brand new discipleship group next Monday. Please pray for this time.
