Today we took the visiting Americans to worship with the Tumango congregation near Namwianga. I had asked three different people if the road to the church building was passable, and all three assured me it was. Well, passable is a relative term. On our way to the church an energetic lady we picked up volunteered to jump out and lead the way through the eight-feet tall grass that hid the path. The trip back out was even more exciting. We got to try out the four-wheel drive when we made a wrong turn and ended up in a creek bed instead of the road.
The worship service itself was worth the trip, however. David preached and had 15 people who responded after the sermon asking for prayers. Sharon, Valerie, and I taught 67 children in the Sunday School class.
Two college groups also went on outreaches today. Richard, one of the college students, stopped David on campus to tell him about his experience. Richard is a new Christian himself and this was one of his first outreaches. He excitedly reported that he had preached this morning and that there had been two baptisms after his sermon. The other outreach group also had four responses. Invariably, the students end their reports with the question, "Where are we going next week?" Such is the contagious nature of Outreach Fever.
