The Power of God ’ s Word
Again and again the team in Mozambique and Malawi are witnessing Yawo men and women being transformed by God ’ s Word . Here , team members Bek and Scott share of the growth they are experiencing after years of sowing seeds .
It was after dinner one night
when the phone rang . Mussa , a man on the path of following of Jesus , wanted to talk . “ Baba ” he said “ I ’ ve been reading this story about Elisha in the Word of God and I ’ ve got some questions . I know we ’ re meeting tomorrow but I can ’ t wait , can we talk about it now ?”
The Global Interaction team in Mozambique and Malawi has spent many years faithfully growing into the communities in which they live , establishing relationships and sowing seeds of the Gospel . We are encouraged to see our efforts begin to bear more fruit .
Across the different locations where they are based , intercultural workers are well regarded and have been accepted into villages , marketplaces and family groups . Many people are interested in talking of spiritual things , a number of groups are gathering to hear the Word of God , some people are seeking to follow the path of Jesus and a few are even inviting others to join them on the journey .
Mussa has seen God ’ s power at work in his life and is now seeking greater understanding . He ’ s grappling with how a disciple of Jesus should live and has invited others to sit with him , read the Scriptures and discover for themselves what God wants for them .
His story is just one of many .
For many months a group of men employed on a building project gathered daily to read God ’ s Word together with Scott .
