REPORT FROM LESOTHO
You will
find below this heart wrenching letter and report sent to me today from Rev.
Boomo in Lesotho. I hope you take time to read and re-read it to get the feel
of the desperate needs in Lesotho. I am asking “God, how long will it be before
you make a way for Bettie and me, and maybe Roger and Allen to go over there
and help them. We have this opportunity NOW to reach thousands upon thousands
for Christ and MUST not delay in our support for them. I am really struggling
today because of the GREAT needs in Lesotho. Will you pray for God to send for
laborers in His Harvest Field in Lesotho and send our major funding ASAP.? I
know God is listening and will soon make that happen. Who of you will believe
with me?
Greetings in the Wonderful
Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
In May of this year we began
to show the Jesus Film and showed it until August. We showed it 9 times to a
total of 3470 people. This was an unusual amount of people seeing the film. Out
of that amount we have baptized 8 people. During those times there were many
times that God glorified Himself in miracles and healings. One particular man
came and asked for prayer. He had been deaf for more than 25 years. We prayed
and he received his hearing back again which we praise God very much for
answering his prayer.
During that time many people
came to the services and received help from their many problems. We stayed in
that place for 4 Sundays due to the great needs we found there. We found many
people there who are sick and many of them thirsty for Christ.
On the first Sunday there were
50 people. The next Sunday there were 110. The next week there were 200 and the
last Sunday there were more than 300 in attendance. We thank God very much and
give Him all the glory. We have a wonderful time in that village and there are
many sick people there along with major problems. It is a huge place with more
than 10,000 people living there. They all drink from one well that is polluted
with contaminated water which is making them all sick. We are asking God’s
people everywhere to pray for this village. In short, it is called T Y. The
proper name is Teya-teyaneng. It is possible to be the number one heaviest
concentration of AIDS and HIV virus in the whole country. They really and
urgently need God and great support.
Prayer Request
1. We need
immediately 200 chairs to divide between two churches. Many people are coming
every Sunday with no place to sit.
2. We need to
continue visiting that place to disciple those new Christians and make them
strong and raise up leaders among them.
3. We need some kind
of small bus or van to transport our Christians around from place to place
because this is the way we are evangelizing Lesotho. We need $300 extra each
month just to pay for petrol and reach into those unreachable villages. There
are no Christian churches in that area but ours and we must not fail them.
4. We need some
sound equipment to be able to do the job more easily.
5. We are asking God
for special strength to help us nurture these new Christians until we can reach
the near by villages as well.
6. We now need to
build some kind of church building there.
7. Last, we need
more bibles. We have gotten the bibles you have just sent and thank the
Christians in America for them.
Thank you Ntate Patterson for all
your great support and all the people that are helping support Lesotho for the
cause of Christ.
Rev. Boomo Putsoa
National Director of
Our Lord’s Church of Lesotho
