Baby Steps

A day for baby steps. Today marked the start of our first visitation that was scheduled to include church members. Andrew and his family went to the Atonsu area to visit around the school, while my family and I went on visitation around the Ahensan area.

The most exciting part about today was the fact that I was joined by one of our men. Robert has been saved and baptized. Since he works nights he is able to visit with me, while everyone else that attends the studies tries to witness at work or school. (Many of the people are not available at this time, so they are encouraged to witness and give out tracts).

It was such a blessing to see him come walking up. (We are hoping he will be one of the first to start learning how to witness). He had a big smile on his face. Today he had decided to wear a new red and blue polo style shirt and some nice dress trousers. It was so exciting to see him put his best foot forward.

After a short time of prayer, Robert and I went in one group, and Patty and the girls went in another. The many focus of this Wednesday time is just inviting people to services. Robert and I sent door to door giving people invitation.

It was an encouragement to hear Robert explain to one Convention Baptist man, that our church was different and that the visitor needed to come and see the differences. Also I was asked if I was a Mormon, since they have already visited the area. (Here if a person is a foreigner and another foreigner from another church group or cult, reaches an area first, most people think that the foreigner is just another member of that church or cult). For this reason, the people as well as Robert had the opportunity too hear today some of the things Mormons teach and why our Bible Studies are not the same.

Overall all it was really nice to visit together. The cup of joy seemed to be full to the brim later when our family told Robert good bye. What a joy to watch people take baby steps.
