Village "M" April Trip

Here is an update of our most recent trip to Village M.  It's amazing how many more pictures we have when Brita comes!  The discipleship of "R" and his family has gone well.  We dove into the Resurrection, its importance and implications one night.  We are also studying the story-line of redemption from Genesis through Revelation.  

Along with the disciplining the believers, we also continued building relationships and sharing the gospel with the residents in the village.  We had the privilege to visit an 81 year old woman and her 91 year old husband.  It was good to hear stories of the village 40+ years ago and a little of the story of this woman.  It seems almost every person has a biography worthy of the best sellers list!  Praying that this woman and her husband will find the pearl of great price, Jesus Christ!

Here is a snapshot of the trip while we were in the village.
