WEI teacher, Kay Banta, began teaching Rodah in January 2023. Rodah is a twenty-four-year-old elementary school teacher. Kay says, “From the start, her comments were thorough. . . .When she was into the advanced lessons, I noted her seriousness.” Kay’s heart leaped when Rodah said she wanted to “fish many into the kingdom.”
Kay asked Rodah if she would like to meet a local preacher to discuss baptism. When Rodah said, “Yes,” Kay introduced her to Isaac Sanyu. After setting a date for her baptism, Rodah disappeared.
Kay said, “We got worried about her. I kept texting into emptiness telling her I was praying. Finally, in July, she answered all ten mails and revealed that her phone had been stolen, and her faith almost was too.”
After Kay and Rodah had studied daily for a week, Kay received an email from Isaac saying, “God is good. Finally, Rodah made it to church today. We were all so happy to see her. We immediately had a change [of clothing] and baptized her into Christ. Fred, our evangelism minster, gave her a Bible. We shall be visiting her home this week. Thank you so much for your persistence and encouragement for her to be added to the kingdom of God.”
