Jonas’ MK City Evangelism Files – PART 1
I tell you, there couldn’t be a father more proud of his son in this world than I am. My son, Jonas, and his friend Elias, another “MK” or missionary kid, spend their Monday afternoons taking as motorbike into the city of Lichinga and witnessing to the youth of the city. The youth mainly speak Portuguese in the city, as that is what they learn in school. And Jonas is doing really well communicating in both Portuguese and Yao these days, and Elias is fluent in Portuguese. So far, Jonas and Elias have led quite a few young people to Christ in their city evangelism adventures. Elias at age 14 and Jonas at age 13 (almost 14) are turning this world upside down one life at a time here in Mozambique, Africa. Check out three of Jonas’ journal entries about their evangelizing.

Today,
me and my missionary friend Elias went into town with one purpose: to
reach out to the street kids of Lichinga. We’ve both had it in our
hearts to do this. Then one day we both spoke up about it and now our
plan has gone into action.
.
We drove down our muddy road to the airport, and from there straight on into town. The first place we stopped was next to a service station. It was a little storefront with about 10 kids about our age. We got off the motorbike and we gave the gospel message. Out of all of them, about 5 or 6 of them gave their lives to Jesus. They all said they would meet us next Monday at 2:00pm at the old DC-3 plane wreckage in a park. The would be our discipleship place.
.
On the way home we stopped by some apartment buildings in town. There were two guys about 19 or 20 years old. We gave the gospel message there, too and they both received Jesus into their hearts. Apparently they were Catholics but had never received Jesus before. They said this Sunday they would go to our “Centro de Adoração” (center of worship).
.
After that we drove on home from a great day of evangelizing. Now we have about 8 boys we’re going to disciple, and we will have to prepare for this next Monday. Elias and I would appreciate if you could pray for us and our new ministry; that the hearts of these children would be open to hear the gospel, and that they would begin to love Jesus and love others, too. Also that the spirit of poverty would be broken in these children and that they would realize that they should trust in Jesus for all of their needs. Thank you so much! It’s a privilege to be working on the mission field to help others see the light of Jesus.

Elias and I set out down the airport road at about 50 kilometers per hour, praying that God would bless our time in the market and that lives would be won to heaven’s side through us. That was our hope. Our prayers would be answered.
.
We pulled up to the central market on the motorcycle and immediately, we had a group of about 10 to 15 children wanting to hear the gospel. This has never happened before in our numerous attempts to lead people to Jesus.
.
Only about 7 or 8 of them followed us across the street to look at our books we had brought. They all took the Jesus story very seriously. And in the end, we led them all to Christ!
.
As it was getting into the later evening, we went back to the motorbike, and they all said they would meet us next week. It was a successful day and God answered our prayers.

When we got to the market this week, the boys were already there. There were some new boys there, also. So we went to our usual spot across from the market.
.
We started showing our children’s book about the book of Acts. Some of the other new boys were being very distracting. But in the end, we just shared the gospel story. We led three more boys to the Lord today. We decided that next week we will share to book of Acts.
.
So then we did the rest of our shopping that we needed to do and we headed back home.
