This post comes from a personal newsletter written by a STN Staff Member:
"As the team ventured to the outskirts of the African village, they stumbled upon the house of a passionate believer. His smile lit the courtyard as he poured out his joy to them. He told the story of how he rode his bicycle all through out the village, proclaiming his faith in Jesus Christ.
The next day, the team had the honor of giving the believer a solar radio that continuously plays the Gospel. He held that radio like his most treasured belonging and passion burned in his eyes as the radio began to speak the things he desired to know and share."
"In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory." Ephesians 1:13 & 14
"... But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8

Without a Bible, a pastor or a church building, the flame of Christ's love burned bright within him. He was no theologian, but he understood man's created purpose: to know Christ and to make Him known. The believer's sole source of strength and wisdom was the King; he poured his heart out and listened in the stillness of his garden.
The believer had a hunger for fellowship and the gospel. Some indigenous disciples spent the entire day with the believer teaching him the principles of church formation and spiritual growth. The next day, the team had the honor of giving the believer a solar radio that continuously plays the Gospel. He held that radio like his most treasured belonging and passion burned in his eyes as the radio began to speak the things he desired to know and share."
