And as the song said, we're seeking out that little, lost sheep. That's that... He--He won't come until that sheep is in. Every one has to be in the fold. He won't close the door till that last one is in. So, minister brothers, I'm sure with you, this morning, of trying to hunt out that last sheep. It might be in Phoenix, this morning. I don't know. But when the last one comes in, then the Shepherd will close the door.
Like its name suggests, the Central African Republic (CAR) is located right in the middle of the African Continent. The country is now engulfed in a deadly conflict between the Christian majority and the nomadic Muslim minority, where thousands have died and more are being killed every day. To compound matters, there is also the beginning of a famine in the country that could kill more than the war. The people of CAR are desperately in need.
There are a few believers in that country who know exactly how to stop the violence and increase the people’s faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Jefferson Azouka, the pastor of a church in Bangui, set up a stage about 500 yards from their church early Sunday morning, March 16. The theme of the meeting was, “The Trumpet Sounded, The Bondage Must Stop.” What happened next was amazing. About 5,000 people from the local community came to the meetings. Five hundred Message books were passed out to be shared among the crowds, and by the end of the day, six people had been baptized.
