Today Gene, Theophile and I are concluding “Three Lessons on the Holy Spirit” with church leaders in the Nyabiheke Refugee Camp. We arrived on Saturday, Gene preached on Sunday, and we began teaching on Monday. When we began there was great confusion about the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. Over the last three days, these church leaders have been able to begin a distinction between the gift of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit. It is a huge step forward for them to realize that every follower of Jesus has the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, Romans 8:9). Next they discovered that the Holy Spirit gives gifts to every member in the Body of Christ (e.g. 1 Corinthians 12). Our discussion of the fruit of the Spirit and what it means to “walk in the Spirit” from Galatians 5, seemed to be especially helpful for them. They are leaving these three days with a greater understanding of what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit. But also, they are already discussing how to apply these teachings in their lives and the local church.
Gene, Theophile, and I are thankful that God would use us to build up His Church in the Nyabiheke Refugee Camp for His glory and honor.
Blessed to be able to serve His Church,
Frank
