#SERVEday18 Story: Ps. Marc Pannell, Celebration Church, Mozambique Africa
There were many great things that we experienced here in Mozambique. Our Celebration family had an opportunity to serve at 8 locations. One of those was the local prison. Our team had been asking God to provide us an opportunity to minister in the local prison if possible. As we were praying, it opened up the door for us to serve them; we provided the prison with 40 new chairs. Upon arrival, over 400 inmates welcomed and sang to our team. We had an opportunity to preach the Gospel as well! As the team was leaving, the director handed us a piece of paper... it was inviting our church to minister the Gospel on a regular basis.
Here is another story. Our church had a team from America visit in June and the team prayed for a man who could not walk because of a leg injury. For Serve Day, we had a team praying for people in the community and one of our stops was at this man's house. We experienced healing as he was now walking!
One more. This was our first year to invite our bush campuses (rural Mozambique) to be part of Serve Day. Our Helene Campus joined with the community to construct a building for the chiefs and other people in the community to use. The chief was so impacted and thankful that he plans to invite us back for a ceremony. And not just us, but the 40 - 45,000 people who live in Helene. Our hope is this will take place, we will share the Gospel, and God will get the glory. Amen!
