A surprising event happened while we were ministering in Naluwondwa. One day while I was discipling a couple in their place of business, the local police chief stopped by. He was excited to hear that we were sharing “good news” from God about his son, Jesus Christ. He invited us to visit and share with the police at the police “station”.
When we arrived at the police station, the police chief gathered the whole police force and their families to hear the gospel. After hearing the gospel, ten prayed and placed their faith in Christ as Savior. They invited us to return “as often as we could” to share more about Christ and how to follow him in discipleship.
One of our team members returned the next day and found an eager police chief awaiting our time of sharing the Scriptures. Over 15 gathered for a time of looking into the Scriptures and asking “lots of questions”. Seven more policemen took the step of faith to trust Christ as Savior. The study will continue led by James, the new pastor at Naluwondwa. It was so encouraging to see the whole police force of the village open to the things of the Lord.
