Wings of Service

I’ve been praying for planted seeds lately. It’s true that rainy season has started here and it is planting time, however the seeds I am praying for are planted in the heart.

Ever since coming to Kibidula we felt a burden for many of my local construction workers who do not have a relationship with Jesus. We have a desire that they may see the work here as something more then laying bricks. Each cubic yard of concrete poured, brick laid, and project completed is adding a resource for the missionary work here. It’s more than building a building. It’s providing a classroom for an at-risk girl to learn sewing and be able to provide for herself, or a young man to learn efficient forms of farming. It’s providing a place for thousands of tracts to be printed in Swahili that would otherwise not be available. Kibidula is a place to transform lives, to introduce people to Jesus, and train workers to reach out to others.

I keep asking the Lord for ways to portray this to my construction workers, and to inspire them with care and excellence in their work. I have invited the school Chaplin to lead us in some of our worships and he has also taken up the work of visiting my workers in their homes.

I am very grateful for the time and interest he has put into this work of planting seeds, as well as the many others along the way. Just this last week, we have received word that several of my workers are now attending church in the nearby villages and are expressing interest in learning more. Will you please pray with me for my workers? Pray that they will not only find Jesus, but that they will become missionaries themselves in the work that they are doing.
