A sister in the Lord from another community church discreetly approached to inform us that there were many inside the grounds who heard and were angrily reacting at the preaching of the word. It is always a good sign when demons are stirred at the proclamation of the word, but souls are a precious thing. We cannot help how people will react to the truth, we were simply called to be faithful. The youth also walked under the heat of the morning sun to cover much ground.
