TRIBAL MINISTRY


Hi friends,
My heart always leaps with great joy and gratitude whenever i come forward to share my story on Impact.
I thank each one of you personally for your prayers, help and concern.

On 10th, a team of 8 members went to tribal ministry to a place called Madugula. From there, along with the local Church (16 members), we've
started off into interior tribal villages by walk. We went up and down
the mountains, on narrow rocky paths, beside small streams of waters
to reach those villages.
In each village, there are about 15 to 50
families. The distance from village to village is about 2 to 3 kilometers.

We walked so fast, reached 7 small tribal villages in a single day. Preached Jesus
in every street and to every door, prayed for the sick and had children
clubs in 3 villages.

These tribal people worship nature, spirits of their fore fathers and almost every male in the family practice witch craft and sorcery.We could literally feel the power of darkness so thickly. When we look
into their eyes, we can see the depth of their sorrow, their souls
lamenting in pain for freedom and the power of their resistance to
God.



Many strictly said "no" to the Gospel, some men are angry, yelled at us and cursed us, but few responded with great enthusiasm and joy.

These women who normally will shun themselves from speaking to strangers
(especially to men), happily received Jesus into their lives and prayed
with us the prayer of Salvation.
Wow!! We walked whole day happily,
enjoying the beautiful green mountains, rice fields, small water falls
and above all, with the joy of proclaiming the Gospel to our people who
lives on these mountains. Great was our joy to see people coming
forward to accept Jesus their Lord and Savior, people being healed and
delivered from the power of darkness.

Great is the need in our country, great is the cry of our people for
freedom and much greater is the urgency of the hour. Praying God to
send more and more men and women to reap the harvest and especially for YOU to join with us.
