Following God's plan
On a recent visit to the Nakui people Greg and Heidi Greenlaw saw the momentum of eight months ago ebbing away and the new believers becoming spiritually complacent.
“That’s nothing new,” Greg wrote. “I guess most everything in Nakui happens in short spurts, but showing up to blow a little wind in their sails will hopefully get these new believers back into daily Bible study.”
The believers are now studying Firm Foundations Bible lessons from the book of Acts five days a week.
“The last time we taught through that series of lessons was 2004, so we encouraged the whole church to participate, and I pray they will,” Greg wrote.
One very encouraging thing the Greenlaws found during their visit is that family life has taken a turn for the better among the believers.
“After seven years of teaching and encouraging our believing couples to stay faithful to each other, the younger generation is breaking some strong cultural taboos to follow God’s plan for married life,” Greg wrote. “Typically polygamous and immoral, this change has been slow in coming, and is still in progress, but it thrilled us to see couples like Suse and Alia, Sobai and Nauwulo, even Kibo and Mana living faithfully for two years now.
“We’re so thankful to see the Holy Spirit transforming our Nakui leaders.”
