Building our House For God's Pleasure

Building A House For God’s Pleasure
The Lord is continuing to build in the lives of the workers the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit. It’s wonderful to see how much they have grown. Daily around lunchtime, they quickly stop working to worship, receive teaching from the word of God, and drink in the refreshing water of life from the presence of the Lord.


I started teaching one of the workers, James, to read and write. He was so excited that a few days ago he stopped working to spend some time practicing writing in the sand. Another worker decided to stop working too, just to help him out. I’m paying them to work, and here they are writing in the sand. But, I was quiet and watched them with joy. Just last week James couldn’t write his name. “Stopping for the one” is still a very important part of our ministry here.


Construction on our house is going well. For the next few weeks, I’ll be spending a lot of time working on our house. The roof is on! It’s purely a work of God. Jesus helped me put it on myself, and use tar to fix broken chapas and seal the cracks in the chapas (cement roofing). The front roof of the house is cement and the rear is tin roofing. In about three more weeks, the house should be finished, and we should be able to move in. The Lord has been so faithful in opening our eyes and in not letting construction issues blind or distract us from purely seeing Him as He is. He is so wonderful! Building this house is a testimony about who He is and not about what is being accomplished in the physical building of the house. We aim to see God for who He is, and allow Him to be all that He is in our lives.

For those of you who know my wife, Tiffany, you know just how excited she is about moving into our own house.

Brief Evangelism Testimony

Our ministry team was excited to hear that two of the people that we prayed for in Utimuile Village were healed. One older lady’s back was healed and she was off working in the gardens again. The Lord healed another woman’s teeth that had been hurting for months. Both women also had received Jesus while we were ministering to them in the village.
