Church Planting by our Seminary Students
A few blogs ago, I mentioned that our seminary students were actively planting churches around the Maputo area. Exciting to see and one of our professors, Xavier, is doing a great job heading this up.
The students went out into an area on the outskirts of the Maputo area where we have a small village church. Based there, they held the normal church planting class and then canvased the neighborhood in groups, visiting nearly 60 houses to share their faith through the use of a survey and see if the people in the house had a Bible or would like one. To get the Bible, they will need to attend some classes by the students, the end of which, they will receive a new Bible.
Of course, food was involved - important in any culture, as the local church partnered with the visiting seminary students.
It is a great thing to see and exciting to watch the seminary develop tomorrow's leaders!
Thanks Xavier! Thank you students!
We have no steady income stream for this seminary program. Is God speaking to you? See charge number to the right for the Seminary Students. We're contributing to this personally ourselves as well, ever month because we believe in it and can see God's hand at work! Join us.
Blessings.

I really think God is constantly searching the world, looking for a few people willing to set their pride aside and submit to Him, so He can transform them and through them change the world!
