FOUND!!! - Megilin Mama


Megilin Mama
(He was one of the "Wanted's" in a past update!!!)

This man, along with his wife, are both so excited about what Jesus has done for them; that all their sins are washed away and they are now clean in God's sight and able to go to heaven, that you can barely get a word in edgewise. Every time we go to their house, they are talking about it with whoever is there with them.

Megilin Mama's father is Ukawong (Committee - look under past Wanted's on our website for his picture). Ukawong is a member of the cargo cult and was one of the ones who went to the big meeting this past week. He came back just before I went up to the village on Thursday. As I came to Ukawong's house I saw many people who were a part of the cult gathered there in the house with him. Megilin Mama was there as well. Ukawong was trying to tell his story; but Megilin Mama kept on interrupting and telling his story, "We heard from God's Word the other day that Jesus has washed all our sins away, and now we are clean in God's sight because all our sins were on Jesus. It is true, you just have to believe it!" Most of the people in the house got up and left (probably because they didn't want to hear about Jesus), but some stayed. One old man, who on the last day of teaching was unclear, stayed in the house and made a very clear profession of faith to us. And he and Megilin Mama were sitting there saying, "Thank you God, thank you, Jesus". And all of this was done in front of Megilin Mama's unbelieving father, Ukawong.

What a testimony this man is already to those around him. Pray that he continues strong in the faith, and that he will grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We will be having our first believer's meeting next Thursday, 25th at the Dr's house (more to come on him:-)! We have told many people the date, and they are very excited to hear more of God's Word. They are hungry.

His Clay Pots,
Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, and Malachi Knapp and the Tobo Church!!
