God is touching and preparing resistant hearts
|
Kamba and his family came to Christ here in Farakala, Mali. Amadou's (Brian's language helper) cousin Sibiri also converted. We are happy to report that they are committed to God and anxious to grow in him through discipleship.
Two men from Nangola, a village about five miles away, came to our house to report there were 41 people in their village considering becoming Christians.
My wife, Jenny, and I were hardly over our shock when the message came that those living in the village next to Nangola are also interested in the gospel. This is not normal for the Senoufos. They have been described as resistant to the gospel by various mission groups, as well as by other Malian ethnic groups. The missions that have worked with them in the past would be dumbfounded to hear this news. God is touching and preparing their hearts. What Jesus said in John 4:36, 38 is true for these Senoufos, "... and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest ... I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors." |
