Episode 118: Where 73 churches formed and 2,400 were baptized in just the last year (Dennis Cady)
Manage episode 473760249 series 3435301
It may be said that God does God's mightiest work in the unlikeliest places.
Take South Sudan, a young nation where civil war has been the norm for generations. Conditions in that country are as poor as anywhere on earth, yet in just the last year 73 Church of Christ congregations formed and more than 2,400 South Sudanese were baptized into the kingdom of God.
What is going on there?
In this episode, Dennis Cady (Faith Village Church of Christ, Wichita Falls, Texas) of the Starfish Foundation, tells the story straight from South Sudan, where he has been ministering, preaching and traveling since 2011.
