Masa


This is Masa looking at one of the pictures we handed out of the animals God created. This is the first time the Tobo people have seen a picture of a tiger, elephant, lion,etc.

Masa was the man when we very first moved into the tribe said to us, "I want to hear God's talk before I die". So Masa has been in a sense our personal "time clock". The first 4 days of teaching he never came and we were heart broken and prayed he would start coming. We came to find out that his grandson was really ill and he was sitting with him every day so the rest of the family could go to the teaching. His grandson happens to be one of Micah's friend and when Micah found out that Masa was missing the teaching he went up to the clinic early Friday morning and told Masa that he would sit with his grandson and read him books and play with him so he could go to the teaching. So Masa came:-)

God answers prayers in awesome ways! Our hearts are overflowing with thankfulness that our children are as much a part of this as any of us.

This week of Teaching:
