...so that the sower and reaper may be glad together

This following is an email I received from a friend. I read it five times and still can't believe it.

Hector Loki is a Didinga man who used to live in Nagishot, Napep's nearest neighboring village.

"Now onto the really good news! Almost 3 weeks sago Hector Loki and his wife Joyce and their baby Jan Natuko were sent as missionaries to start a church in Napep. They took over the TIMO team leader's compound and immediately started to spread news in the community that they would be holding church services in their house starting that Sunday (August 9th). Eunice was telling me that their first Sunday they had 30 people show up to hear the world of God. Then the second Sunday they had 225 people! Hector has even started having morning and evening devotionals that some people have been coming to, in fact they must like it because he said they stay until 10pm some nights. It seems a lot of people in the community are remorseful for what happened to the TIMO team and their hearts are being softened to the Gospel. They have expressed a need for a church building as Hector's house can't accommodate 225 people and have spent the past week in the forest chopping down poles to build their own church (and not even asking for payment!). They have even begun to return some of the items they stole from the TIMO team's houses and are bringing them to Hector's house. Hector has been communicating with Eunice through walkie talkies and each evening we get a new report on the wonderful progress that is happening there. This past week 4 people turned their lives over to God! It's such an amazing thing that has happened in Napep! Please pray for their growth and for Hector as he continues to disciple these people. The Napep church has invited us all over for worship to share in their excitement and also show us how committed they are to having an established Church. I think once William returns from Kampala Eunice and I will make the hike over to encourage them. Please join me in praising God for the work He is doing in Napep and praying for their continued growth!"
