When Jesus sent his disciples into a new village, he asked them to go from house to house until they found someone to receive them. (See Matthew 10 and Luke 9 and 10). This “person of peace” was someone prepared by God to bring a family or group together to hear the gospel.
In Togo, we will be looking for these “people of peace” as we minister in the villages through well-drilling, AIDS work, or agricultural work. Once a group is ready to hear and obey what God has to say to them, a new church is ready to form. For next week, we will explore what should be taught to this new group.
