MEET MY NEW FRIENDS

It is quite a story how I met Abraham (on the left).  He is from Ethiopia.   He has been in San Diego for some time.  It is an amazing story how God brought us together through a man in England that I haven’t seen or talked to for at least 30 years.
     I have been meeting with Abraham every Friday night  for a couple months now. He is a strong believer with a very interesting life and conversion story.  I’ve taken him through IAAR and he loves it and is tranlating it into Ethiopian.  
   The man in the middle of the picture is Johnnie.  He is from Haiti and has been living here in San Diego for a few years. He is a pastor with an amazing life story.  The man to the right is Bernard. He is a pastor and is originally from Trinidad. God has brought these three men and me together to do something more.  All three of men are evangelists who are really reaching out. They really inspire me.
   They are already active working with people in their part of San Diego.  They are sacrificing for other people who are in need in a way few Chrsitians do.  I am humbled by what they do to help others in the name of Christ.
    There are over 100,000 refugees in their area of San Diego from all over Africa  and the Caribbean.  While the largest part of them are from Somolia, I’m guessing there are some people from most every country in Africa and most all of them are struggling. There are people of no faith, some Christians, Muslims, people with backgrounds in witchcraft or voodo, etc.  
    God has given Abraham an idea as to how to help these people and a passion to reach them for Christ.  Abraham has invited me to work with them in evangelism training and other teaching.  So as an interested person, as a Christian and as a Team Expansion worker, I’m starting to work with them as they develop plans on how to evangelize people from all over Africa, without having to leave San Diego.  Amazing.  We are laying the ground work and developing the plan that Abraham first had.  Pray for us as we move forward.  There is a lot to do.

I’ll be giving updates as this develops.

I’m also communicating with many National Leaders in India about getting the IAAR studies translated into their languages and then help train them.  A trip to India is a serious possibility.  Your support helps in this work too.
God bless you all
