17 of them! We are bumping along the unpaved roads, maneuvering around the pot holes and around tea fields. 15 minutes later we are standing in front of 17 Malawians! They are starting to collect near us because they heard the van. As we find out later, there are no vehicles in these villages and a car coming out this far is rare. Its even more strange and unusual to see a white guy and girl being dropped off and left there! So Christy and Justin get out the training materials and begin to share. Going through the gospel with the E-cube we are aware that 90% of them have never heard it nor have they had the opportunity to give their lives to Christ! Once the invitation is over 90% of them raise their hands to accept Christ as their Savior. We come to realize there is no church here, this is the beginnings of the church this very moment. The people that we led to the Lord, that day, became the new church. These people were faithful to go out with us every day and were eager to grow in their new faith. They reminded us of the first disciples that followed Jesus.
It was so thrilling!
