Two weeks ago Dan, Matt and I were given the opportunity to move into the All Nations house in Masiphumelele for the weekends! In the video below you can check out the house.
The reason for moving into Masi was simple. Not only has it increased the amount of time we are able to spend in Masi, it has increased our influence. Just this morning we meet 3 men walking towards the wetlands who stopped us. The man who first grabbed our attention was named Syril. The first thing he was I want to thank you for giving us hope. He told us a story about how black people used to get fined for walking through "white neighborhoods," and no white people would ever walk through a black neighborhood. He said seeing white people walk through Masi makes us feel human. This provided an opportunity for Dan and I to share with all three of these men that we not only were just walking in Masi, but that we also lived in Masi for the weekends. When they heard this they didn't believe us, and got really excited. After we talked awhile with them we ended our time with Syril, Dan and Oscar planning to meet next week for a discovery bible study! Please pray this week for these men!
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
What rights are you clinging onto that God is calling to you give up for the sake of your witness?
