DA Outreach 2014

Hi all--
Sorry it has been such a long time again since I've published on my blog.  I am so excited about my first DA Outreach trip that I wanted to share some photos.  It was really wonderful to see how the DA staff and students, national pastors, etc. all worked together to accomplish much for Him.

We went to the town of Diohine (pronounced Joe-een) where there are three cell church groups meeting.  Even though there was a lot of opposition before we went, there was a real openness to the gospel there. 

Keep praying for those who accepted Christ and for those pastors who are following up with them.
