The Roar of the Lion!
Well I rolled into Southern Africa from Sri Lanka to minister in the nations of Swaziland with Children’s Cup and Mozambique with Healing Place Church – Mozambique. The first night in Swaziland we went to a game park as I got hang out with a young missionary from Georgia names Jordon Flores. Jordan and I visited a pastor that ministers among sugar cane workers then got to spend a night and morning with the lions! We were not disappointed either as the 1st lion we heard in the pre dawn was the Lion of the Tribe of Judah as we worshipped together before starting our day. I started to read out loud to Jordan how in the New Living Translation the Lord is described as the God of Heaven’s Armies. When I spoke these words out of my mouth, real lions erupted outside our camp in a ferocious praise toward heaven. The Lord’s creation began to lift their voices in praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Jordan and I sat stunned at what had just happened… I am telling you it was an awesome presence of the Lord! We headed out into the bush in search of the lions and we got blessed to have a small pride walk within 6 feet of our jeep. Yes it was an intense moment but man what a thrill!
So the Africa round has began… I am in Mozambique now after traveling most of the day by car through these incredible countries. Last night we were with Pastor Isaac and Carolyn Williams showing the Jesus film @ the church here. There was standing room only as the village showed up in mass to watch the movie. This was too cool as it brought back memories of the numerous times we showed this film in villages in Sri Lanka and India. The Jesus film has impacted so many lives as one of the most effective evangelism tools in operation today. Please keep us in prayer as I minister to church leaders today, youth meeting tonight then Easter Sunday services tomorrow before traveling back to Swaziland. DB
