In Malawi it is 11pm and the church is still packed. They held a dedication service and showed the Jesus film. What you do not see is the hundreds of people outside looking through the windows and those to far back to see but are hearing about Jesus for the first time. Lisa and I want to thank everyone who has prayed for this church and those who gave sacrificially to make this day a reality. #ReachingtheUnReached #equiptoempower #matthew2414 #malawi #partner #Jesus #jesusfilm #thankyou www.reaching360.org/become-a-partner

“I don’t know what to say pastor Jeff. 😞😞. Daniel and pastor Dzuwa said there was a huge big storm and the church roof is down. Am full of grief.” After receiving these photos late Friday I just had to step back for a couple of days, just in shock. This church has been through so much in the last 2 years, loosing their building, starting over in a grass hut in a new location, skyrocketing price increase, and now a wind storm of the likes not even the elders of the village have ever witnessed. But God, He will see us through, the testimonies will be powerful. Please lift them in your prayers, and add a prayer for strength and perseverance. They are working to see what can be salvaged and reused and what will have to be replaced. #ReachingtheUnReached #nevereasy #equiptoempower #malawi #testimony #prayer www.reaching360.org/become-a-partner

Walk by faith changes what others see. Pastor is fasting and praying for this house to be full. The closer they get to finished the more curious those looking become. Talking among themselves; how can they do this, who is this, why are they doing this, no one has done this here before. #ReachingtheUnReached #matthew2414 #malawi #partner #prayer #fasting

The church members have filled in the floor and stage to be prepared to mix and pour the concrete floor(all by hand). Before and after painting the outside such a beautiful transition. The young man on the barrel painting is Daniel, donating his time and talents to help build the Kingdom. If you would like to help with some of the final touches there are still a few things left to do. They surprised the pastor and built him an office. #ReachingtheUnReached #equiptoempower #goodnews #go #partner #malawi #send #matthew2414 #together www.reaching360.org/become-a-partner

So many times in life we wait until we feel like we are completely finished to start. God wants to use you where you are in the process. This past week even though it is not completely finished they had their 1st service inside! #ReachingtheUnReached #malawi #partner

From March until today great progress has been accomplished. The true measure of accomplishment is when the remaining 2.3 million have been presented the Good News of Jesus. Reaching UnReached people groups (UPG a group of people less than 2% Christian). #ReachingtheUnReached #malawi #goodnews #go www.reaching360.org/become-a-partner

Ruffly a year ago over 200 were kicked out of their rented space because they are Christian and Pentecostal. In this culture as with many you are not recognized as real and established unless you have a permanent structure. In April they were meeting in the grass structure. Today they have a permanent Life Centre with the roof being completed just now. They will have service inside Sunday and it will be a loud and joyous one. As you can see in the last photos the roof is green and can be seen from miles and miles away. We are asking you to lift them in your prayers as God fills His Temple and the UnReached will be draw in and come to know Jesus. Lord as Your Light reflects off of the green roof “Draw them in”. #ReachingingtheUnReached #malawi #matthew2414 #equiptoempower #partner #goodnews www.reaching360.org/become-a-partner

At first glance the eye sees one person sitting precariously on a small steal truss. In the next picture we see four friends on the ground providing support. What the eye, our natural eye can not see are the angels that surround them all, the tens of thousands of Christians sending up prayers from around the world. What is not seen are all those that gave sacrificially to Reach the UnReached with the Good News of Jesus. What can not be seen but can be felt by everyone, young and old in this region is the Love of God. #ReachingtheUnReached #malawi #matthew2414 #partner #prayer #naturaleyes #goodnews

There has been many obstacles to get to this point, and there will be more just like in our lives. When our focus is on Reaching the Unreached obstacles are just a mere inconvenience. We are locked in a battle with the enemy for those that have yet to hear the Good News of Jesus. “2 Corinthians 4:8-12 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.” (Side note the guys taking a break and enjoying a cup of chai, I may just have to stop and make me a cup) #ReachingtheUnReached #goodnews #jesus #malawi #equiptoempower #chai #partners #matthew2414

The progress has created change, visual change. The last two photos are 9 days apart, rows of crops right up to the edge of the Life Centre and now harvested crops. There will be an altar inside and our prayer is that the lives of hundreds, thousands will be changed for eternity, and that many disciples (harvesters) will be sent out from there. #ReachingtheUnReached #malawi #equiptoempower #harvest #partner #prayer www.reaching360.org/become-a-partner
