Yesterday whilst reading the bible i felt it would be a good idea to gather the local village to pray for bumper crops. That as they have now all planted their seed that God would do a miracle and grow big, much more than expected amounts of maize this season.
So today the KOP team and I have arrange that everyone will be invited, thats between 7000-9000 people, to the village mothers meeting place (that was easy as its Mrs. Chomba) next wednesday at 10.30am. We also decided I should give a small talk about how the village doesnt have to stay a place of scraping it together to make ends meet, full of alcohol addictions and prostitution with an unusually high HIV/AIDS rate and that children from here could not only finish school (very rare from here) but that they could grow to be world changers if the village all pulled and worked together and if God broke in.
This village is the one on the border of Dr Congo that is historically a very dark and poor place.
So Im asking for your prayers in advance of doing something a little crazy and dangerous. That I would speak in a way that encourages change and belief that things can be different. That I would win people to working together and that God would indeed answer our prayers not only for the harvest but that He would continue to heal illnesses and bring hope when we ask Him.
Feel free to pray with us next week.
