Tomorrow looks to be a day of mixed emotions. In the morning we are to go to Burgersdorp one last time. We have labored here every Sunday morning for the last 17 months. We have had many different contacts come and leave again at some point. There are a few who still come but appear to be stubborn about their spiritual condition. When do you draw the line? I think that line is better left to be drawn by the Lord. At this point, we believe the Lord has given us clear direction to move on to other villages and preach the Word of God. Tomorrow morning we will be making it clear to the folks as to why we are moving on. Will you pray that God will turn their stubbornness into submissiveness to the Word of God? Please pray for Eddy, Michael, Roger, Maggie, and all the folks of Burgersdorp. What exactly is a missionary looking for from the people he is trying to work with anyway? We'll talk about that some more in another post.
In the afternoon we will be back to Motupa. Last week 3 of the men there indicated that they are in need of Christ. Yesterday one of those men, Godfrey, met with David and Fels to talk about his spiritual state. He said that he was ready to leave everything and follow Christ. They gave him some Scriptures, and said they would talk to him again tomorrow. Perhaps he is already born into the kingdom, perhaps he is still struggling. Will you pray for Godfrey, as well as Thomas, Kenyas, Samuel, Eddy, Peter, and others from Motupa??? Perhaps something is ready to break in this village!

I wanted to let ya know that I do check your blog often, and will be praying for y'all and the villages and the people there. Thanks for taking the time to share the prayer requests.
I came across your blog and will surely pray for you all. BTW, what mission organization are you with?
Praying for Godfrey and Burgersdorp and Motupa. Please let us know how things went in Burgersdorp.
Leo...thanks so much for visiting and for the prayers! We're actually not with any mission organization, we are simply sent directly through our home church, www.lvbaptist.org
All the best. George
Hi George,
You're welcome. It is encouraging to see people leave the comforts of home to minister the gospel.
It is nice too to see the local church fulfilling its responsibilities without the parachurch assistance.
We trust that the Lord will lead you to people whose hearts have been prepared to hear and receive the Word!
It is encouraging to read as well of the Lord sustaining your daughter Anna.
Blessings,
Leo
