Monday-Pastor Allen & Sylvia

Before going to the construction site this morning, Pastor Allen and Sylvia shared with the team their testimony and their journey of becoming the church planters in Matagalpa.  pastor Allen shared that he once was a solider trained to kill people, but now He has been trained by the Holy Spirit to kill the works of darkness.

Upon coming to Matagalpa they knew no one.  They felt like Abraham who had been called to leave everyone he knew and all the comforts of familiarity.  To date, they have visited over 1500 homes in Matagalpa (most have more than one family living in it.) They have shared the message of Christ and given each family a New Testament.  Many people they have ministered to once followed Christ, but leafy the Church because they felt no one truly cared about them.  after visiting with them, many have returned to Church.  even though they are disappointed the people have not chosen to attend the church they are planting, they rejoice they are returning to their walk with Christ and are confident The Lord will add to their numbers as they focus on advancing the Kingdom in this City.

Because the Jehovah Witnesses's have a disciplined evangelistic strategy active in the city, the team prayed for The Holy Spirit to give Pastor Allen and Sylvia the divine ability to break through the confusion in people's minds about Christ and His Grace.  

Off we go to build the church ...which the gates of hell will not prevail against.
