“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

The good news of the birth of God’s Son first came as a proclamation from his prophet. How wonderful it is to celebrate new life! Especially when a child is born; It brings happiness, excitement, great expectation, laughter, commitment, provision, healing, etc.

Therefore as we observe and celebrate the birth of the greatest one who ever lived on the face of this earth, Jesus Christ, the Joy to the world, Let us make it our prayer that the message of Peace and Joy will be proclaimed to the ends of the world. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Pray for the following:

Thank the Lord for Pastor Jean Mara, after being rejected and persecuted by his church and people of his village he has been restored and leading the church.

After several exchange of emails and telephone conversation between Dakar and the church leadership in Conakry giving reasons why Pastor Mara had to disguise himself as a bus conductor, tension in the village and the church has calmed down. They were made to further under that Pastor Mara action was more of a strategy than him trying to look for a job and not only was Dakar aware, but Dakar had approve the strategy as the new method for planting or starting a new church. It was also agreed that the leadership will visit Conakry soon to explain the process and to apologize to the congregation for what ever manner they might have been offended by the action of Pastor Mara in implementing the CPM.

Pastor Mara has returned to his village and is now reunited with his family. He was escorted by his Muslim man of peace who hired him as the bus conductor. The lady who recognized Pastor Mara and started all this trouble has apologized to him and the church for all the problems and embarrassment she caused the church, especially Pastor Mara, whom she call of sorts of names. She prayed that Pastor Mara and his family will find it in their hearts to forgive her.

It was reported last month that in the process of searching for his man of peace, Jean Mara earnestly, left his home and relocated to a village he had never lived and where he though no one knew him as a pastor to implement all he was taught about the CPM, Mara was offered a job as a bus conductor by a Muslim whom he claimed to be a man of peace. This man is an owner of a transport bus that takes local business people to the market every Friday. Transportation in the area is a high demand so most business people make pre transportation arrangements prior to the market day.

Therefore making Jean Mara the Bus Conductor means that Jean meet and talk with lot of people, make appointments and collects fares. Jean Mara says he has made many friends in a very short period of time and some of them have accepted him into their homes. A bus conductor, but vision minded as he searches for his man of Peace. He says this world is a small place and he is being seriously persecuted not by the unbelievers but by some people of his village and people whom he served as their Pastor.

According to him it was business as usual a bus conductor, (a typical African style) collecting fares from commuters, when he was recognized by a lady from his village whom he baptized a year ago. She just could not imagine her pastor who once preach and taught her the word of God, could have reduced himself to a ragged bus conductor who refuses to publicly be identified as her pastor. She just could not comprehend. She was furous and publicly rain insult at him. She called him all sort of names. Jean says he was embarrassed. He had never experience such a thing. He said he was completely speechless and did not know what to do as he stood looking at this lady, who was pulling the crowd from every direction. The Driver and owner of the bus who happens to be Jean Mara man of peace knew exactly what was going hurrily disappear from the crowd with Mara.

According to Mara this lady returned to his village and has informed his family, villagers and the church that he is not a pastor or what he said he was, rather he was a dirty bus conductor (African style) working for a Muslim man to sustain him and his family. The church in Mara village is divided. The majority do not want Mara back or as their pastor. He and his families are called lots of terrible names. Some do not believe and are planning to go the village to see for themselves. Meanwhile the driver and owner of the bus, Jean man of peace has saked him to relinquish the job until tension in the village goes down.

Conakry, Guinea Pastor Jean Mara reports that one of his men of peace we visited while in route from Liberia, a Muslim is cooperating and doing everything to implement the new CPM. This man is an owner of a transport bus that takes local business people to the market every Friday. Transportation in the area is a high demand so most people business people and marketers befriend this man and make pre-transportation arrangements prior to the market day. So every market day he would take Jean Mara with him. Jean Mara serves as the bus conductor who makes appointments and collects fares. Many people have be-friend Jean and are inviting him to their homes. Jean is now a bus conductor, but remains vision minded as he searches for his man of Peace.

He says it is interesting and if there are men of peace among the people that the Lord is putting him in contact with there is no reason why he would not identify them. He is excited about identifying more man of peace and starting house churches soon.

Jean says he is amazed to see how the Lord can open doors for the gospel. He said that it is only by the grace of God that he has so much opportunity to meet, talk and befriend so many people in a short time. He said that the Lord will do something in his life as long as he is committed and faithful. Jean says being a bus conductor earn him an additional income.

We had the opportunity to speak with two of the man of peace and head of the family in private. He told us in his owns words “Now I know the truth, they can kill us if they want” (referring to he and his family). When asked as to who would try to kill him, he replied and said “Pastor the people know themselves”.
