Personally, planning for this mission trip has been difficult for me. As we prepare not only for building, but also evangelism the Spiritual Warfare began at the early planning stages of this trip. Throughout the planning I have had a weight on my shoulder. I can only describe it as a dark cloud and apprehension. God has been with me and evident over the past few months, but I believe Satan has also been active in my life. I believe that he has been trying to prevent the team from telling the good news of Jesus Christ to new believers. The wonderful thing is that we will be able to go hut to hut and also teach at the local school. It is hard to describe the transparent nature of the veil between earth and God and earth and evil in Mukamba. There in the bush you can experience God's presence like nowhere else that I have been.
I wanted to share more good news. Today was a sign from God. With help from the Holy Spirit I was able lend assistance to multiple people and step out of my comfort zone. Each time I could feel the warmth and goodness of God. This is a sure sign that God is already with the team and supporting us as we tell the good news and fight Satan head on. Like David we will go forth in faith knowing that we are doing our Father's work.
Blessings, Alex
