Today, Monday, was our first day of ministry here in Africa. We went prayer walking in 2 compounds (neighborhoods), and if someone asked what we were doing, we told them we would be back tomorrow to tell stories. The people in this culture love to hear stories, so they want us to come back. We split into four teams with one of the local missionaries and a native translator in each team. Several of our children were able to share parts of the stories of Creation to Christ today because people were so interested and did not want to wait until tomorrow. Pray for us as we go out tomorrow into the compound of Kapalanga. On Wednesday we will go to the other compound Mandanga and we have been asked to visit the home of a lady who has a demon possessed daughter. They have taken her to the hospital in the capital city and the doctors could not help her so they continue to take her to the witch doctors. There are many, many people out on the roads to talk to. Each compound has its own market, and everyone goes to market everyday. They have no way to store food - most of them live in mud huts with thatched roofs or reed houses - so they buy what they will eat day to day. They are a day by day, survival kind of society. They are very friendly and polite and we are looking forward to sharing about Jesus with them.
