The group of Americans there lived in close community—not only among themselves, but also with the nationals whom they served. I had more language and cultural experiences in one week out in the country than I’ve had living in the city for three months. I could see the Lord working and his Spirit moving among their relationships.
One day, we drove about an hour and a half into the countryside and visited a friend, a lady they call Mama. She was very hospitable and wanted to cook for us even though she had less than I could imagine. Through the influence of my friends, she and some other people from her village had accepted the Lord quite a few months ago. They have been growing in their knowledge of the Lord ever since. My time there was very encouraging and enlightening.
