On Sunday September 8th the Sigatoka Church celebrated its first anniversary. It was a cheerful group of around 15 people that shared in worship and a celebration meal together afterwards. One family, attending for the first time, was made especially welcome.Muneshwar Goundar reflects on the past 18 months since the vision to plant this church first formed. “It is good to look back and celebrate what God has done so far and also to encourage the congregation to look forward to fresh new things ahead.”
Muneshwar is encouraged that relationships which were damaged earlier in the year through one church member's poor moral choices are being restored. Another young woman who had succumbed to pressure from her in-laws to stop attending church is beginning to reconnect. Church members have encouraged and strengthened her in her faith.
The group which meets at Lomowai is also continuing to grow. Pastor Kim, a Korean missionary, is assisting with transport, music and technology for the now regular Saturday afternoon worship service there. Muneshwar and Stella rejoice in the growth of these new church plants and the support networks that are beginning to form.
