That they may hear!

alt

Have you ever been in a large crowded area where a friend was trying to communicate with you from a distance?  You can see their mouth moving, but you just can’t hear what they are saying.  It is frustrating. We often motion with our hands so as to say “I’ll tell you later, I can’t hear you!”

In the last 12 months, we have seen amazing victories!  The crowds have gone from thousands to tens of thousands!  In just 4 months, 7 missionaries have gone to completely unreached tribes to preach the Gospel, even under life threatening conditions.  The commission of Jesus Christ to go and make disciples of all nations is being fulfilled before our very eyes!

Right now we have a pressing challenge.  The rented equipment here in Ethiopia is costing us a lot of money, and it cannot cover the crowds that God is entrusting to us.

So I am asking you to consider two things in regard to this.  First, would you join me in prayer that this pressing need will be met?  Secondly, would you be willing to do something above your regular gifts to the crusades towards this project?  Some of you might be able to fund a whole part of the sound system, others can do a part.  However, if we all do something, the needs will be met and people will hear the Gospel all over this great country of Ethiopia
