This just in: Another update from Steve Childers! It sounds like things are going really well so far. Please pray for the remainder of Steve’s time in Africa – which he will spend with his team in Togo – that the team will be safe and that God’s glory will shine through their work with church leaders there.
Here’s what Steve had to tell us:
I learned today that most of these pastors have been taught (and have been doing it) to be “praying down Gods wrath on all pagans/poor/etc. NOW they have openly repented of this practice and have PLEDGED to pray the Lords prayer (i.e. the exact opposite), praying fervently instead that Gods will on earth (their part of it) will now be done as it is in heaven … through their radical acts of mercy & justice!
I’m so in awe and humbled by all this. Your prayers are being answered! Thanks again.
