Jesus teaches on the topic of “fruit” several times throughout the course of His ministry.
Several interesting observations about fruit is that; it takes time, not all trees bear fruit, you have to care for the seedling much earlier on in the process rather than later, and lastly, the fruit is for ‘others’ to enjoy. The tree does not enjoy its own fruit.
This July marks 10 years that we have served the Tiale people! God is truly growing many strong trees that produce “much fruit”.
Last week the Tiale leaders were able to complete the second part of the marriage course teaching in another Tiale village.
This week, the Tiale leaders saw the opportunity to do ministry at a local school, now they are presenting course 1 to several students every day.
It is encouraging to see the Tiale leaders take ownership on both sharing the Gospel to people who have never heard a full Gospel and then following up to provide key teachings to develop mature believers.
Continue to pray for the Tiale leaders as they are seeing the need for both their people and their neighboring villages. Whether it is giving the full Gospel or a specific teaching to correct misunderstandings that those believers may have… God is using these men greatly.
{p.s. Yes, those are photos of some of the trees we planted (avocado & orange) from seedlings… this is one of the many proofs of our tenure in Vanuatu}
