The fruit of labour is so sweet.


Tuesday afternoon on our way back from our monthly shopping trip we met the Church leader from the Bunga Church. And he just was so happy and could not express his gratitude. At the teaching on multiple wives. We focused mainly on the young men on day one. While the ladies taught the woman that they do actually have a choice. Especially when it comes to marriage and that sort of thing. Then in the evening the women asked the men what thy had learned as the women had learned about one husband & one wife. The men claimed they had no such teaching and could they prove it from the Bible. As most out that way are illiterate they couldn't. But day two was a shocker for the young men. We brought both groups together and taught the whole group together. Now they had no excuse. Mateus the leader told us that there is no more talk of taking a second and third wife. Especially from the young men. And even the older men and leaders of other Churches are now convinced. (for the time being)

We had a number of the outreach team give a brief view of what is taught in their home Church on marriage. Praise the Lord Lets hope that we will start seeing a different attitude towards women.
