NeLeeGwee

 There is nothing in the English language that can describe my joy over what just happened today, or that can portray the real significance of it all!  Tears flood my eyes as I reminisce over the beautiful scene!DJ, our neighbor, asked us to go to NeLeeGwee with him because ShePaw wants us to have worship in her home.Now let me tell you about ShePaw.  She is 30 years old and has a husband and 6 children.  Two times in the past 2 years she almost died of dysentery and dehydration.  God arranged it both times that we arrived just in time to save her life.Today, we packed just a few medicines and took off with DJ and his wife, greatly looking forward to seeing ShePaw and all the other beautiful people of NeLeeGwee.  I call it the village of children because for such a small village it has over 30 children!After treating all the patients and enjoying the beautiful children, ShePaw asks us to come into the inner room where the cooking fire is.  We will have worship together in there, but first of all she hands me a large pair of scissors and asks me to cut all the devil strings off her and her children!  No longer will they be chained to the devil and his ways of superstition and fear.  No longer will they offer food to the spirit house and keep the good luck charms and strings above the door post.  No longer will they give chickens and pigs to the witch doctor and worship the devil.  They want to serve the same living God that we worship.  They want to learn about Him and learn to pray!I cannot tell you how many strings I cut off of those precious people that day!  They had strings around both ankles, both wrists, neck and waist.  Even the one month old baby was completely tied up in knots – but not anymore!  All I know is that when I was finished with the cutting, there was a pile of strings on the floor and all of heaven was rejoicing.  God has His strong arms around them all!  Oh this is a big step for these people.  All their lives they have believed they must have the strings to ward off sickness and calamity.  They believe terrible curses come true if they do not worship the devil this way.  Oh please join me in praying for these dear people as they try to live a new life with Jesus.Can’t you see, that just like LaGlah village, this village also is hungering and thirsting after righteousness?  One after another these villages are opening up!  Oh where are the workers who will dedicate their entire lives to live amongst these people and take care of their physical and spiritual needs and prepare them for heaven?   Oh how I want to, and need to live in every single village full time and take care of all their needs, but I cannot do it all.Please pray as never before that these people can all receive the light of the gospel, during the short time that is left in this earth’s history so that they can be ready for Jesus to come!!!Mrs. White says, “Our work must be done quickly.  We must put forth every effort in our power to save souls from death.  Soon the Lord God of heaven will set up His kingdom. … The work will increase more and more in earnestness and intensity until the end.  We need an increase of faith.  We must watch unto prayer.”  TDG 198
