Keli's Story


My desire from before we left home was simply to share the love of Christ with the ladies in Werkok, hopefully to help them understand how precious each individual lady is to the Father. One thing I noticed while we were having conversations through an interpreter, is that it seems to take a long time to get a simple point across. But you can see when they get the point because they look you in the eye and say, "Mmmmmm." One day this lady came by herself to the compound, she had been waiting to hear the Word of God. I shared just the verse on the bookmark that I had made to give out, it was Zephaniah 3:17, "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." I watched her face as Peter interpreted the verse to her, line by line. When we got to the end of the verse she placed her hand over her heart, looked at me and murmured, "Mmmmmmmmm." I think she got it.
