Rundu 2—Day 5

Hello again.  We’ve now had 25 studies and 10 baptisms.  One baptism is waiting for us this morning.  On top of that we have had several follow up lessons with those just baptized and many opportunities to encourage the saints here in Kehemu, just outside of Rundu, in the district of Kavango. Our last day [...]

Rundu 2—Day 3

Several more studies today and two more baptisms.  This makes a grand total so far of 18 bible studies and 8 baptisms.  The two Tommy studied with today were baptized.  I had two studies that were difficult.  We spent a long time and came to the conclusion that they had been baptized previously for the [...]

Rundu 2—Day 2

Several bible studies today. Two baptisms. Karen is excited about one lady she had studied with and responded and was baptized.  It’s hot and very dusty, but the work continues.  It’s been great to have members from Windhoek and Tsumeb here encouraging the church here in Rundu.  It means a lot to them. I’ll send [...]

Rundu 2—Day 2

From Paul. Two studies. Karen and myself. One baptism. I studied with Joshua Maseke a young man who lives here andwith his younger brother and sister. His parents are in Angola. He was very ernest and very sincere. He was baptized and everyone rejoiced. Margaret and Tommy were overwhelmed with the children. Lots and lots [...]

Rundu 2—Day 1

Hello from Rundu.  It’s Sunday night about 8:30.  We just got here about an hour ago.  Twenty-one hours in a plane; nine hours in an airport in Frankfort; nine hours driving to Rundu.  Everyone is well.  We are fixing to go and eat a late supper since we’ve been on the road since noon. We [...]

It’s the same in any language

On our way home — Trip summary

We left Rundu this morning after breakfast for the long (over 400 miles) trip back to Windhoek. Our flight isn’t until Saturday evening at 7 PM, and although we could theoretically make it if we stayed and campaigned another day, we felt like too many things could happen and we didn’t want to take a [...]

Thursday in Rundu

Final tally: 63 studies/30 baptisms. The total was spread around among the 5 campaigners, and everyone was able to experience the feeling of bringing someone to Christ, but more importantly everyone was a part of helping secure a soul’s eternal destiny. We’re excited for the future of the Church in Rundu, but saying goodbye is [...]

Wednesday in Rundu

What a day! Until today, we’d been a bit discouraged because things haven’t been going the way we’d expected. Of course our expectations were based on what we had seen on previous trips. Two years ago in Windhoek, we were situated near a school, and many of our studies were with the teenagers from the [...]

Tuesday in Rundu

What a great day of teaching and sharing the Good News of Jesus with the good people of Rundu! Today we had 11 studies, resulting in 6 baptisms. (By “one study”, I mean one person studying the Bible with us. An actual study may involve 3 prospects, so we’d count that as 3 studies.) This [...]
