My heart continues to break here in Africa, this time in Rwanda. Once again, people were touched deeply by Joselian’s testimony of living as HIV+. She shared that she doesn’t know which of these 3 ways she was infected—· Her first husband who died
· Her second husband who left her
· Being hacked by machetes with blood on them during the genocide.
She survived one holocaust only to be infected by another horror. But now she spends her time ministering to the needs of others. God is using her to bring His hope and love to fellow Rwandans. Now she’s trained to share simple truths about HIV/AIDS.
The AIDS Cube training was part of our normal church planting leadership conference. We look upon our training as—
Lecture + Laboratory
Ground School + Flight School
Vision + Action
We always try to build practice time into our leadership conferences. We don’t want people to go home and put yet another notebook on their shelf.
Practice on Day One was prayer walking. Day Two was evangelism for about an hour. 222 people prayed to receive Christ! Hallelujah! The people were so happy, that two of the pastors decided to stay in that area for a few weeks to start 2 new churches in the big area where the people accepted Christ. They also took up an offering to get two new baby churches off the ground!
Plus, about 10 nursing students prayed to receive Christ as their Savior during the HIV/AIDS Cube practice time! Another example of this new tool opening the door to present the love of Christ.
Here's picture of them practicing to use the HIV/AIDS Cube.
Here they hear the gospel from a Rwanda e3 trainer.
Please continue to pray for our Burundi conference going on now (Sept 24-26), plus our last stop in Ethiopia this Friday and Saturday (Sept 28-29).
Blessings.
