I talked to Shad!!....

I received a call from Shad today. The team leader has an international cell phone and Shad was able to call me on it. Because of heavy rain, the Internet has been down the last few days and they also have not been able to go far because of the rain. Everything just floods. But today they went out and they reaped a harvest. Shad spoke to all the men in a village while another lady spoke to all the women and another lady shared with the kids. All the men accepted Christ! They said that they have been going out into the trees to pray and worship the God who created everything, saying that they knew the God that Shad was speaking of, but they never knew He had a son named Jesus who wanted to save them and give them eternal life! Are you crying? I was when he told me. And now they can have a church where they can go and be all together to pray when it rains (their comment when they were told they would have a church). Most of the women received Christ and all the children. AMAZING! These are people who have never seen a white person before either, so Shad said they were making fun of his pointy nose! :) And they thought his hair was funny to.
Because of the war, every man he has met has a story. Either running from or fighting in the war. He said he has never experienced friendship and fellowship like this with men in the Lord! So exciting!!!!
