PLANTING A NEW MOVEMENT

This week we will have our first Bible study in Sauyo! Two families have said yes and want to have a Bible study in their homes. Pastor Bobut is like a child in a candy store whenever we talk about having Bible study in the community. It’s hilarious to watch him come to life, eyes expanding to capacity and he becomes animated as we talk about who wants a Bible study. He lives for it. This is an awesome privilege to witness and participate in the birthing of a new community of believers where none was found before. Praise God!
Sauyo community has no pharmacy, no school, most have no steady work, but they do have two community organizations ready to organize the community towards cooperative projects. That’s where we come in as a church. MMP is offering the community a cooperative pharmacy allowing for 40% discounts on over the counter drugs. It will be community run and operated with the potential to grow in breadth of medications. At another MMP church plant the pharmacy eventually grew where they sponsored TB medication for free to the entire community. Healthier (and happier) families, a healthier community and the respect of the leaders come through this program. Through this cooperative our church leaders will evangelize the community leaders. Much of the success is dependant on the receptivity of community leaders so please pray that we can begin this program within the next month.
