This story took place during the camp which we had with the Level 1s, 2s and 3s in S*** village in Lilongwe. We met an old man during door to door evangelism making his baskets and some of the members of the team shared him with him the counseling booklet and he accepted Jesus.
He told them that for a long time he believed in traditional beliefs and it was his first time to experience such a wonderful evangelistic confrontation. He said that he has never been to church for a long time and he promised to begin going to church. He began to go to a Baptist church we planted in the village of S*** and is a committed Christian despite his difficulties in walking.

Another testimony which is interesting and very touchable is the conversion of B* at C***. During our first day of entering the village with open-air meeting on 23/06/18, he was the one who welcomed us and gave us the place for the meeting. People were interested and very amazed because the man is a Nyau dancer, drunkard and chamba smoker. He always chased the people in the village when they came with the gospel. After an open-air meeting, he was one of the people who responded to the gospel and later on was counseled. He is now a member of the Baptist church and has accepted Christ and left everything. I go to his home and encourage him to grow spiritually.

Another interesting story is the establishment of a Baptist Church at C*** village on 30th June after 5 days of open-air meetings. People who came to Christ asked us to plant this church on Saturday not on Sunday 1st July because there was a wedding ceremony on that Sunday. This village is not far from Kamwendo Trading Centre and there are a lot of witchcraft, prostitutes, drunkards, chamba smokers and Nyau dancers in the area. We are looking forward to buying land for the church as it is close to the Trading Centre.

After a counselling session this man invited some of the members of the team, including me, to pray at his home with his household. He confessed that he had backslidden and for a number of years had not attended church. We encouraged him that he should go back to the Lord and confess and then choose a church to be fellowshipping with.
Amos
There was Level 1training on 12/06/18 in the area of chief K***. We had an open air as usual after Level 1 training. After the counselling was over the chief approached me and told me his story that he is a Nyau chief and is one of the chiefs who encourages the tradition. He said that if he wanted to be a Christian chief he would have to pay a large amount of money to the Traditional Authority. He said he had made a decision to follow Jesus. I encouraged him to be determined in his decision. He promised to be coming to the church I am leading in his village. He needs our prayers.
Amos
When we had the open air at M***, people did not understand us at the beginning and they wanted to chase us away. But thank God a representative of the Chief stopped the people from chasing us. At the end of our preaching, three of the men who were in the group that tried to chase us, gave their lives to Jesus.

In the month of May at C*** village T/A Kalumbu during an open air meeting organized by Senior Sowers team, three chiefs happened to attend the open-air meeting. At an invitation stage one chief responded to the Gospel invitation and the whole village followed. The Sowers team is now following up the new converts and plans are underway to start a new church in the village.
A Senior Sower went out alone with a Sketch Board to conduct an open-air meeting in Ch*** village. One lady responded to the Gospel invitation and influenced others in the village to follow suit. A church has been started in the village as there was no church. The church has been trained at Level 1 and goes out every week to reach other villages with the Gospel.

A village headman by the name M- was a Nyau Dancer but through one of our meetings he came to the Lord and has been baptized, His sister was also a Counselor at Nyau but she has followed him and both of them are active church members.
We prayed for a woman as we are talking she is healed from this sickness
We prayed for a Church Elder who has been in the Church for more than 20 years but without Jesus until when he confessed his sins and received Jesus to be his savior. Now he can testify.
