Today we visited the LCM church in Sibanga where we finally got to hear young Pastor Timothy Mahindu preach. Seemingly shy and quiet in his place of business, he was transformed by the Spirit of God as he preached about walking in the world or walking in the Kingdom of God. Afterwards the women of the church prepared a meal of beans of rice – and coca-cola, of course – and we enjoyed good fellowship with one another. Beatrice, one of the original members of the Sibanga church saw my notebook full of Swahili words and began writing words for me until she had filled three pages with things she thought I should know how to say! What a people full of desire to help others!
As the adults were led away for a meeting, Ellen and I remained behind where we were given the opportunity to watch the children’s program of memory verses and songs taught by their youth leader, Gilbert. He has done an excellent job with them and is an asset to the Kingdom of God in Sibanga. We ended by making peanut butter sandwiches and passing out fruit treats from America.
