The Son's Light

PDF Version: Anderson_WEEKLY_171111.pdf

Four members of AISEC (the national CHE network here) finished the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) training in western Cote d’Ivoire a week ago Friday. Verlin spent an additional 6 days traveling north to south in the west contacting people who have started CHE ministry in the past, or who desire to be trained. Although some of the trip was challenging because of hazardous roads, he was thrilled to connect with people in eight different places. If trained, they would start CHE ministries among six different groups in various areas. The contacts were glad to learn that training can be offered locally, and we are pleased to think of the lives that will be transformed when the Son’s light breaks through. We look forward to being reunited as a couple this weekend, after two weeks apart.

One of the joys of interacting with other believers during travel is learning new methods and technologies they use. Verlin met a retired missionary whose parents started the Swiss Bible mission in western Cote d’Ivoire. In addition to the blessing of hearing how the gospel entered that region in early days, Verlin also learned of an appropriate technology that this brother is developing. The Son’s light in his life invigorated his creativity to find an excellent use for our plentiful African sunlight! The picture you see shows this missionary’s example of a way to heat water without using wood or coal. In villages without electricity, or in situations with limited fuel, this solar energy option would work well, using resources that are all produced locally. A common aluminum cooking pot is painted black on the inside, and a glass layer keeps the heat trapped inside. It provides low cost hot water for cleaning and bathing. Research is in process to see if the temperature is hot enough to purify the water for drinking.

Prayer and Praise:

• Pray for the Global Leadership Summit meeting in Abengourou this upcoming week. About 300 people from the region will participate Thursday through Saturday, including Verlin and friends from Bondoukou. The conference is designed to equip lay leaders like teachers, farmers, bankers, and so on, to work diligently and to share the gospel effectively in their work places.
• During the following week of Thanksgiving, another CHE training will take place in Abidjan. It is likely that we will participate. Ask for good preparation and participation for the gospel’s sake.
• We thank the Lord for the regular, faithful giving to our mission account! Keep asking for new financial partners to be added so that we can continue the work unhindered.

Your partners in the Gospel,
