Many of the Siawi people are being challenged to live their faith in such a way that others will see a difference in their lives.
As we taught Romans 1:8, the people learned that the faith of the Romans was "out in the open." The whole world was talking about about it.
We asked, "The belief of the Romans was spreading through the world. What about in other villages and towns in our province? What do people say about the faith of you all living in the bush?"
You could have heard a pin drop in the meeting house.
Many said, “It’s true - people cannot see inside my heart and know whether I believe or not, but they can see what I do and say.”
Many began thinking of their sinfulness, recognizing that this keeps other people from seeing the outward result of their faith in their changed lives.
Wakou asked, “How did the Romans hear of Christ? Tell us again who taught them and how did Paul find out about it."
This gave us an opportunity to review Acts. We explained how those believers who were persecuted when Steven was stoned fled from Jerusalem, but they shared their faith wherever they went. It was not only Paul doing the work of sharing the work that Christ has done. It was the responsibility of all believers.
Imen asked, “What if we throw off our old ways, and today we have another thinking. What if it is like that, then an unbeliever from another place comes and stays in our house. How do we do that without being tempted to sin? How do we sit with unbelievers?”
Please be praying for those who are seeking to make this change.
