Visit to Nangembele
Today we decided to make a scouting trip of the road from our home to the village of Nangembele. We had heard that the wide road through Chilugu was possible to take a 4X4 truck on, so we decided to ride that road all the way to Nangembele, where Victo had dropped off a Proclaimer (Audio New Testament in the Yao language) with the chief before the rainy season. We have been asking the Lord to open doors for us to show the Jesus film in villages that are passable by 4X4 truck. The road to Lussenhando turned out to be passable by truck, but last week when we attempted to ride motorbikes to Matemangue, the next village north, we found it impassable by truck, so we didn’t continue further. Today, it turned out to be a similar situation. The road in some areas has the really bad mud on it to where even with a 4X4 truck, you get buried.
.
Yet today we continued forward on motorbikes to Nangembele to try to connect with the chief there. He was in his machamba (garden) as many people are during the rainy season. We are finding that the best day to try to visit villages is on Fridays, when most people are in the villages because of their Muslim duties. So if you think about it, could you pray for us on Fridays, as we will be sending teams out on motorbikes and bicycles to the villages to evangelize and make disciples.
.
We were able to share the gospel with a few groups of people that were in the village of Nangembele. Some listened with an openness, some tried to tell us that they follow Allah and Mohammed, others even laughed and mocked us as we were sharing the gospel with them. With the peace of God on our side, we know that seeds were planted. We even handed out gospels of John in Portuguese to those who were interested. We will be back to Nangembele as it is a village that God has highlighted to us.
