MEHANNA ROAD

Post by Dave Adcox (June/July 2009 Trip - Village K)

The chief allowed us to show the Jesus film in Village K on Wednesday, the second night we spent in the village. Because we showed it in the evening, many people had returned from their work in the fields. Well over 100 came to see the film based on the gospel of Luke, and translated into their native language. After the film, we passed out more tapes, with some team members being almost mobbed by the crowd seeking these tapes. On our final day we headed north into Village M itself to share the stories with the crowds that had gathered for the market there. The people in M listened attentively to the stories, with crowds pushing for tapes afterward to the extent that Abdrouman was knocked down trying to hand them out.

While we were pressed from every side in many ways while we were there, we have already learned some of what God is doing on the heels of this trip. The tapes had Loualy’s cell phone number on the labels, and five people have already called to discuss the gospel with him. This is a first for our work among the Songhai—those who have heard reaching out to learn more.
