Scouting Trip from Majiga to Miala
Yesterday, Jesse, Victo, Nathaniel, Pedro and I, on three motorcycles, went on our second scouting trip in the last couple of weeks. It is of utmost importance to scout out these villages, marking them on our GPS before we can accomplish what God has placed upon our hearts to do before the rainy season begins. We were able to ride from Assumane through Majiga, which was the last village we made it to last week, all the way to a village called Miala, which is where the paved road all the way to Tanzania joins the back roads. We road 106 kilometers, starting at 7:30 am and were back by 1:00 pm.

Before the rainy season begins in November, when the roads become impassible because of the mud, God has placed on our hearts to bring to the chiefs of each village we are scouting a gift, and begin relationships with all of them, as the openness of the chief of a village really has an impact on the openness of the others in the village. The gift we are planning to give the chiefs is called a “Proclaimer,” which is a solar powered unit that has the entire New Testament in Yao on it. We must purchase these “Proclaimers” in bulk, Lord willing, when we travel to Malawi to have our visas extended. They look like a little radio. It also has the capability to wind it to give it a charge, as well as plug it in with an adapter. We are going to spend the rainy season, among other things, praying over our spiritual map of the villages, by name, along with the chiefs, as the Word of God in audio form does its’ job; as the chief and other villagers listen to it daily. We believe this to be prophetic. The "Proclaimer" is the seed. The prayers of the saints will be like water during the rainy season, just like the people of the village work on their "machambas" or gardens during this season. Then when we go back to evangelize, using the Jesus film, our hope is that there will be an abundant harvest. Please pray for God’s favor over us in this task.
