SAN DIEGO, Mar. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Eternity Minded Ministries with Dan Owens recently returned from Gitega, Burundi on a truly miraculous mission trip complete with humanitarian aid, five evening festivals, discipleship training, and community ministries. Eternity Minded Ministries (EMM) is a non-profit faith based organization founded and led by Dan Owens. Dan Owens reveals, "The Lord was clearly leading us to expand our ministry to Gitega." Carl Dawson, EMM's ministry director, shared "The enemy was working against us and tried to keep us away. We were told that Gitega is a cold city unreceptive to the Word and that we would be wasting our time." Eternity Minded Ministries obeyed the Lord and sent in the troops with the largest EMM ministry team to date. Twenty nine volunteers supported this mission trip along with Dan Owens, Carl Dawson, and EMM's pastoral representative in Africa. This mission was certainly not a waste of time as the Lord was truly glorified in Gitega.
Dan Owens says, "Gitega was a festival of prayer. Over 5,000 came to Christ because of prayer." The enemy set a number of stumbling blocks to keep EMM from ministering in Gitega. For example, the team was asked to postpone the festival for three months due to raining and flooding in the area. It has also been said that the demonic activity in Gitega has been so great over the years that many evangelists have avoided the area. But our Lord is greater and He won in Gitega.
