Hi – thanks so much for praying.  We had a fantastic time at Festival One.  The trailer-mounted Mission Pole that Robbie Pearson made was a stunning success and prompted many conversations.  Praise God for supporters like Robbie and his passion for the Gospel.

What a tremendous privilege it is to be involved with a mission agency that is still true to its original intent of reaching the least reached with the Gospel of Jesus.   I love how Reach Beyond, and before that, HCJB used innovative technology and methods to tell the age-old story of Jesus and his love.

Just last week we got a video that our Ghanaian worker, Alfred, took when he was out in the villages meeting with the people and doing maintenance on the poles.

The video was of the village chief telling us how powerful the pole and its message were.  In the village. There is a shrine to the animist gods that some of the village worship, and he was delighted to tell us that many of the villagers were responding to the Bible readings and evangelistic messages coming through the speakers on the pole.  In fact, he said, “The pole is more powerful than the gods!”

My mind immediately jumped to John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”.  And that is why we do what we do.
