Missionary Adventure Saturday, April 11, 2009

The children anxiously gathered outside of the giant wooden entrance. They needed to have their pictures taken for their passports before they could leave the country. After receiving their photos they were allowed to pass under the gates and into the beginning of their Missionary Adventure.

They quickly were seated and began filling out their passports. Once completed they were given backpacks which they filled with tracts and Message books. Their goal was not a simple one; they were to bring the Message of God's Prophet, Brother William Branham, through dangers of the Congo and distribute them to a village deep in the jungle.

After waiting in line and then being questioned by border patrol, they were finally allowed to enter the jungle. They met many characters on their journey and were questioned by police, guards, and even a hunter that they ran across on the path. "What are you doing in the jungle? Why are you here? What is in those backpacks?" These are just a few of the questions they were asked. To continue they explained that they were missionaries and they brought the Word of God with them to the people in a nearby village. They witnessed to everyone on their way until they arrived at their final destination.

After meeting the locals and spreading Brother Branham's Message, it was time to return to the United States. To do this, they had to pass through boarder patrol once again, where they received a stamp on their passports. Each time they look at those stamps they will remember that they were missionaries in the Congo, and that they helped spread God's Word to a group of natives on the other side of the world.
