New Life on Resurrection Sunday
We celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead this Sunday at the Church of Assumane. It was a glorious time of celebration. Our little grass church was bursting at the seams with people. The church members put together a really cool drama telling the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Then, as they have been doing the past couple of months, they lines up in two rows and began to worship the Lord through singing and dancing in unison.

Jesse spoke on resurrection life. After the drama and worship, I also spoke on the new life that Jesus wanted to give the people. I gave an invitation for people to come and receive Jesus. Three men and one woman came forward to ask Jesus into their hearts. One of the men is originally from the city of Xai-Xai and has been attending the church for the past six months. Today was the day that he made the step of faith. Another older man is also originally from another province and Phineus’ family has been witnessing to him. Others came forward for healing and received supernatural healing, including Maria and Phineus. At the end of the service, we all ate bolos (little fried donuts) and drank juice together. The resurrection life of Christ is evident at the Church of Assumane. But this has been true for the past six months since the church was planted in the village. The things that took place today are the norm here. We get to see evidence of His resurrection life on a daily basis in Assumane!
