But we pressed on anyway, confident God was with us. Dozens of children showed up in the village of Edazo! Once again, we proclaimed the Gospel, starting with creation, sin, and God’s provision for our sins!
We have the goal to visit 150 villages this year and broadcast the Jesus Film (where it has not yet been broadcasted), Mary Magdalene (from JesusFilm org), new testimonies of local Bara converts, and The Movie: Walking with Jesus.
