It is not any easy thing to go into a new world, with a new culture and try to effectively reach everyone with the gospel. There are many road blocks, such as language, culture, many cannot read or write, and worst of all trying to work with people that have received a poor presentation as to what the gospel really is.
So then how do you go into a country that has more than six different language groups and effectively reach them with the gospel message? The answer is through making disciples. I am now working with some young men in just this way. They both can speak English well, and have a foundation of the gospel, and Christianity. We are now meeting on Monday's and really going deeper into the Word. I am taking them through Systematic Theology, and many of the major doctrines of the Bible.
You would not believe how hungry they are for this teaching material. The excitement of learning about God and Jesus and the scriptures in a deep way is so important to reaching the nation of Namibia with a good sound teaching of God's Word.
God is working in these two guys in a tremendous way. Jeremiah is at my house every day wanting to learn more, and to have a better understanding of God and not just for himself. He wants to take his learning back to his village in the north so that God can use him to share the gospel with his family and village.
This is what mission is all about. Training the people of the nations, so that they can take it to their nation and further the Kingdom of God for His glory!
In the below picture are the two guys that I am working with, but there are a few other men that are now interested in coming as well. So pray for God to use me in such a way that they can take God's message back to their villages and plant seeds for the Kingdom.
