Clay Pots ~ 10 Weeks and Counting



"And they brought their old, their lame, their sick, and their blind to see Jesus"

Every day, Sania-alla, this old, lame, and mostly blind lady comes to the teaching. She arrives an hour early and sits on her banana leaf as she waits for the teaching to start. Sometimes she has a hard time staying awake but when the review questions are asked she quietly answers them to herself. She is one of the oldest people coming to the teaching. Pray that she will soon rest in the awesome provision of Jesus Christ.

Why do we still have 10 more weeks of teaching? Why does it take so long to get to Jesus' death, and resurrection? Because we need to build a foundation for these people. They have had many different religions and cults come in here and they mix it up with all their animistic thinking. They need to know who God is, what His attributes are, how they were created, how they are born sinners because of Adam, and they need to see that they are sinners, lost, and need a Savior. And what better way to do that, than to teach the Old Testament stories which explain it so well?

Can you pray with us as the countdown continues? His Clay Pots, Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, & Malachi Knapp
