A Command : GO !

Why ?• A mission from the Master for all followers

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men.” Mat.4 : 19

• Many non-believers out there

Jesus said:“I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring

them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” John 10: 16

WHERE ?

• In ALL nations• In Jacqueville

JACQUEVILLE – IVORY COAST(West Africa )

JACQUEVILLE – IVORY COAST ( West Africa )

• Southern coast , 60 km from Abidjan• Around 53 000 inhabitants, according to the General

Population and Housing Census in 1998, including 27 000 men and 26 000 women at a density of 78 people per square kilometer.

• As of 2007, the department has 61 000 inhabitants

• More than 40 villages ( communities)• 3 main ethnic groups : Alladjan, Ahizi, Akouri

or Avikam

A view of this region and its population

Mostly farmers and fishermen

Many young people

Spiritual chart

• 1/3 of the whole population has been worshipping a False prophet since 1950s.– Worship continues

despite the death of that man in 2002

• Traditional practices ( witchcraft or sorcellery)

• Syncretism ( Blending of religion with ancestral beliefs)

• Idol worship ( ponds, woods, fetish…)

• Many churches ( Methodist,

Catholics, Assemblies of God, Revival, Pentecost…)

BUT Only

• 1% of born-again Christian in 1998

This man pretended to be a God- sent prophet: He has deceived the population for 65 years. He died in 2002. People still worship him

His temple serves as a place of pilgrimage for his followers .

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Rom.10: 14,15

Should we stay quiet ?

A mission within a people sometimes hostile to the Gospel!

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come

Mat.14:24

Preaching to them

Praying to the Lord

Teaching the Scriptures

Preaching the Gospel of Salvation! Ministering to them

Praising the Lord together!

…And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2: 47

The joy of salvation

Jesus said : “...and surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Mat.28:20b

“The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 2 : 39

Now when He was through speaking, He said unto Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draft.".”Luke 5: 4 !
