(WAH-soo-loo) – A Wassulu village lies miles across a river, down a dirt road, and along a well-worn path. Residents don’t have frequent guests coming from outside their region where farmers grow corn and peanuts as staple foods and cotton as a cash crop. As the oldest person in the village, Kathy has been revered for her age, for in the Wassulu culture, the aged are greatly respected. For about eight decades, she has lived in this remote region, following the ways of Islam and trusting in her ancestors. It’s all she has known. Though she considered herself to be religious and knew that there was a Creator, she didn’t know God. Knowing that she was nearing the end of her earthly life, Kathy was aware that true peace had escaped her. She was living, but not truly living; something was still missing. God knew her situation and location, her thoughts and desires, and He knew Kathy’s deepest need. He sent the good news to her through Wassulu workers from her same culture. Praise God that Kathy will be among those representing the Wassulu around the throne of God! Pray for Kathy’s spiritual growth between now and the end of her earthly life.
