He knows your name

Last week, Pastor Peter, our friend and ministry partner, was participating in a village council. This community had broken wells and those wells were being restored. Here are Peter’s words:

"We were welcomed by the town council. The Chief is a lady and she was so excited to see this rehab work come to their village.  With their councilmen listening to our conversation, I told them that God had invited the efforts of Teamwork Africa and that of The Last Well to go to where the need of clean water is even before the foundation of the world.  One curious elderly man asked me how God knew our names and villages since we have no one presence in the government.  I then began to share the Gospel from his question and presented to them the Attributes of God; one of which is His Omniscient power.  This led to the conversion of four souls.  The pastor, Jeffry, was asked to disciple these men.  The Teamwork Africa pastoral team is going to have three days of evangelistic outreach in this village by the end of this month."
 
This story brought tears to my eyes. Yes, I wanted to cry out, “Yes!” He knows your name. He knows your village. He has not forgotten you. You are so very precious to Him.
August 16 to 26 I have the opportunity to visit many of these villages that are getting their wells repaired through our partnership with The Last Well. I am so excited and humbled to have the opportunity to proclaim Christ to these communities. To look in the eyes of the men, women, and children and confidently declare, “You are not forgotten. The Lord God sees you. He knows your names. And, He loves you.”

God has blessed me so much! I have already raised over half the funds I need for this outreach. I need about $1000 more. We are also hoping to bring an additional $400 to provide 50lb bags of rice to about 10 unsponsored Starfish kids. My travel companions are excited to visit the village of Tumatai. They helped put a well in this community last year and they want to develop a relationship with them. I am eager to see what God has planned!

We will also be meeting in Liberia with our partners, The Last Well. Several organizations will meet together to discuss how we can work together to bring clean water and the Gospel to Liberia. While Teamwork Africa’s vision is broader than clean water, we are very excited about the opportunity to be part of bringing the Gospel through water.

Would you please consider “going with me” by supporting this outreach? Checks can be made out to Teamwork Africa. Please don’t write my name in the memo so that you will be able to receive a tax deduction for your gift. Just write my name on the bottom of the return envelope or put a sticky note on the check. Thank you so much!
Please pray for me. I will be posting updates at www.teamworkafrica.org. This is our brand new website!
God is so very good!
