Don’t go to that Boma


Our team was ready to go hut to hut. We had prayed. With Pastor Isaya Kasaine at Echoro Enkai were students from EAST and members from the Alaska team. One team member was Brian Friske, a student at Northwest in Kirkland.
The pastor told the group that he had been warned, “Don’t go to that boma (homestead).” The man of the boma was very fierce toward Christians. The team prayed and decided to go. They met the man first and asked if they could come in. He asked them questions and then welcomed them. They shared the gospel with his five wives and a daughter. When they concluded they asked if anyone would like to receive Jesus. All five wives and the one daughter said yes.
The next day they went to another hut. As they talked they discovered Joseph Nzavi, one of the EAST students, knew the man of the house. That very morning the parents and son, Steve, had talked about the son becoming born again. He put them off as he had in the past. As the team began to share with him he had some serious questions. The team answered his questions and he received Christ.
Later as the team was walking, they found Steve witnessing to two friends. They shared with them as well and the two friends also received the Lord.
During the week we saw 42 people come to the Lord. Brian commented, “I have led more people to the Lord on this trip than in the rest of my life.”
