"It's kind of funny if you think about it," one of the Patpatar 'Big Men' explained to me and Butch. "It's kind of funny that two white strangers from America are teaching us in OUR tribal language. It is good though, because like you said, God wants us to clearly understand His Word. What you are teaching is good. It is already making things clear to us."
We have just completed our first week of teaching, during which we laid the foundations of God as the Creator and owner of everything. This week we will continue teaching foundational principles from God's Word. We will teach on the creation of man, death as the consequence of sin, and the fall of Lucifer. Pray that the Patpatar people will continue to come and hear God's Word and that the Spirit of God will illuminate their understanding and draw them to Himself.
Thank you for all the emails of encouragement and prayer. It was a good week. Teaching in the morning for all of us; home-schooling for Lori in the afternoon; writing more lessons, correcting, and preparing for the next day for myself; alongside the normal days activities has made for some really long days. Thank you for being a part of the work to see the Patpatar reached with the Gospel of Christ and to see God glorified in their lives!
