Church on the Way.
St. Georges Presbyterian Church Bluff, Durban, South Africa.
Washington is a young man in our congregation who has been called to
touch Mozambique as a missionary. He has been to Mozambique on a few
of occasions.
Washington was interviewed by Linda Milln on Saturday 26 March 2005
on the Bluff.
Linda: So where have you been reaching out to over these past years?
Mpelane, this is a church group I planted awhile back.
Mpelane, this is a church group I planted awhile back.
Linda: How did this church group come about?
Washington: I met this lady Thula and recognised her as a leader and I
led her to Christ. At the time she was not saved. The nice thing about
Thula is that she can speak Zulu and she is a great translator and
therefore many people can be reached with the Gospel in Mozambique.
Linda: So how do you go about you ministry?
Washington: I have given Thula a lot of training and we do a lot of door to
door evangelism to reach people with the Gospel.
Linda: I heard Washington, that there are a few stumbling blocks, can you
tell me something about them?
Washington: Yes, I do not have sufficient funding to keep going to the
church I planted and to the other churches in Maputo that I feel God
wants me to train and equip.
The people in Mozambique are very poor and so I have to have my own
funds to sustain myself.
Linda: Washington, Have you considered supplementing your income in
some way to help you to do your ministry, just like the apostle Paul was a
tentmaker and at times he had to use his own resources?
Washington: Yes, I have and I have considered selling shoes but
obviously to succeed I have to find a viable market for them.
It is very important that my work is not “hit and run”. I have a responsibility
to keep building the church congregation in Mpelane, and so thus I have
to keep visiting them and training them.
Linda: Thank you for talking to me Washington.
It’s good to be able to communicate to others what is happening in your
ministry.
If anyone would like to support Washington in some way in his ministry,
please contact him on his cellphone number.
