This week I want to share a little story about how God works.
I got an update from Paula Miller, who is with Rick at a Bible Telling conference in the states this week. They sought out an author they admire who writes about large movements of Muslims coming to Christ. When they told him that they work in Sierra Leone, he said one of his protégés is from Sierra Leone, and he happened to be there at the same conference.
So, Rick and Paula were introduced to this man who has a pretty amazing story by its own merit. He gave up being a paramount chief, which is a high position in tribal government in Sierra Leone, because it would mean renouncing Christ. What a bold statement of faith in a predominantly Muslim culture! This guy is cool!
But it gets better. It turns out, he is very good friends with one of the Lifegate pastors, Jonathan. This man, who just started more than 450 churches in a very "hard-core" Muslim area of Nigeria, will be returning to Sierra Leone in December, according to Paula.
They are hoping he will come visit and partner with Lifegate to inspire and encourage their pastors for continued growth of Christianity in the region. How awesome is that! Praise God for that divine intervention!
I was so excited when I read this update from Paula that I just had to share! Will you please pray alongside the Millers that this will be a valued partnership leading to exponential growth to their ministry that can only be of God? We know all things are possible for Christ, so make this your prayer for Lifegate this week!
