\"\"<\/a>There is a church that was <\/span>planted in<\/span> the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>village<\/span> of<\/span> Ja Saw Pa. There were just a handful of new believers at the time. One of the first believers was named Lebo and he was very faithful in attending church and helping around the community. A few months ago, one of <\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0leaders<\/span> was<\/span>\u00a0there teaching a Bible study and Lebo started to sob. When <\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0leader<\/span> asked him what was going on, he said that alcohol was a big part of his life<\/span> and t<\/span>hat it was hard for him to muster up enough courage to talk to people without alcohol. He was feeling conviction from the Holy Spirit and was wanting to give it up completely. He continues to grow <\/span>spiritually,<\/span> and it is <\/span>encourag<\/span>ing <\/span>that <\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0leaders <\/span>in Ja Saw Pa <\/span>are <\/span>teaching<\/span> the word and <\/span>allowing<\/span> the Holy Spirit to do his work.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
