Pray for Dave in Senegal: Day 4 - May 17

By

This should be the first full day of village ministry. 

We generally leave around 9:30 or 10 AM and walk from home to home looking for people to speak to about Jesus Christ. We return for lunch (the main meal of the day) around 1:30 and then go back out at 3 or 3:30. We stay out until we stop finding folks, sometimes until just before the sun sets. Our best times of conversation often happen later in the evening. 

While each day is different, we will do pretty much the same thing every day, in the different villages. 

Pray that God would prepare the hearts of these people to receive the gospel.

Read today's readings and try to catch up when you have a chance. The goal is not to "accomplish a task" but to meet God in his word. Read the word. Also, if you are short on time, READ GOD'S WORD and skip my devotional!
