Powerful Prayer in Lugajole


Lugajole is an isolated village with a growing congregation of Fulas who follow the Lord Jesus, living among only Fula people.  In 2009, the rainy season did not begin in May as usual.  People in the area around Lugajole were so concerned that the leaders decided to meet at the mosque in Beli to pray for rain on Friday.  The believers in Lugajole heard about this on Thursday and called those following Jesus to pray.  They prayed during the afternoon and into the evening.  The Lord sent a great downpour and the dry roads became so muddy that traffic could not pass.  The Muslim prayer meeting on Friday was called off.  The believers were delighted and boldly went out to tell everyone that their God had sent the needed rain.

During the rainy season a number of young adults, some families and many teenagers, after seeing the lifestyle and knowing those who followed Jesus for some years, decided that they too wanted this God who answered prayer, sent rain and gave a good harvest to those who worshipped Him.

After the rainy season had ended and the river subsided enough for the ferry to cross, the believers felt a real need for fellowship with others.  They met together and prayed for the Lord to send others.  About an hour later, a car with several believers arrived to see the reality of the Lord building His church in this isolated place and to hear from the brothers and sisters there the wonderful answer to prayer.
