Trip to Itepela
Today we got a chance to bring a friend of mine, Salomao, and his family to the town of Itepela today, where he will be staffing the YWAM School of Frontier Missions there for the next three months. We hired Salomao to oversee the construction of our two new church facilities at the beginning of the year and he has done a wonderful job. The foundations of both buildings are now complete.
.
More than just a hired hand, Salomao is an awesome man of God, with a real heart to make disciples. I have had many good times of talking with him about God’s word and praying and ministering to him and his family over these past six months. I truly believe that we will be able to continue to labor together in the Kingdom of God someday after the YWAM school has finished.
.
The drive to Itepela is about a 3 hour drive south from Lichinga. It was a bumpy road with many stops for my friends to vomit from car-sickness. We got a chance to see the beautiful YWAM base there, as well as fellowship with the pastor, Pedro and his Brazilian wife, sharing a meal with them. He was also with YWAM in Lichinga and is three years into the church plant there in Itepela, which is the only existing church there. We had a lovely time together today.
