Under the East-African Sky

Ethiopia, Tuesday May 6th 2008

Hanging out at the missionaries' house.

There is a lovely smell from the kitchen, in the background you hear Ethiopian worship. Lights are shining in the otherwise dark East-African night. The vines are decorated in different colors.

One by one they come and sit on the Arabic rug. The disciples who have been saved the last few months are invited to our home to hang out and to listen to the Word of God.

Many of them are making new friends, eating cookies and popcorn. After a while Samuel Strandberg speaks up and preaches a simple message about building your life on the rock, Jesus.

20 of our disciples, most of them baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit, came to be filled with the Word of God, candy and a lot of love.

About a month ago we had a similar night, where we invited the new believers to our home to spend time with them and to encourage and teach them. This night was also a success.
