Teaching Update
The teaching has been going well but progressing slowly.
During the teaching of Lesson 18 with the children crossing the Red Sea in the second location, we were really praising God to hear one on the village elders say that he has been with the Catholic church for a long time, but he is hearing a lot of new things and he is glad that he can understand it so well in his own language. He also said that he wishes that God will continue to speak to them directly about all the lessons being taught. For the people in the village, when they dream about something, they view it as God talking to them.
During another lesson the same village elder said that he has listened to the message of other religions, but our teaching is clear, and he has never heard these stories before. Then he really stressed to Jakob that we should not give up on them and to keep coming back to teach them God’s word. He said that whoever doesn’t want to come, that is their choice, but they want to understand!
Then another lady said- “first we need to thank God because he sent them here to share God’s word with us and it is also good that we can be like the children of Israel who accepted God’s covenant.” She was also happy to hear of what happened in the beginning of the world and how God communicated with the people. There are still quite a few lessons remaining before we can get to the birth of Jesus Christ. Please keep praying for Jakob and his helpers as they continue to work on developing the remaining lessons.
