After success in Jelbania John Benton has taken twenty five pastors with him on a two week trip to Jelbania, they will be breaking ground on a new mega-church that can seats five thousand in the capital city in hopes of reaching out of Jelbanian politicians. They will be going around making speeches and preaching wherever they can, some have had meetings with families, others are preaching to hundreds, it is estimated that after their first five days they may have been able to convert another one to two thousand people to the Reformed Hosian Church. Due to foreign pastors not being able to visit Badara Badarians have come to Likatonia to hear Benton and others preach, Benton has trained around twenty native pastors by now, who have had great success in Badara it is expected they have been able to convert between six and seven thousand people their, they have also finished building a church in Badara that can seats three thousand people.
John Benton made a speech encouraging Reformed Hosians, and condemning the restrictions of travel,
I encourage our brothers in these turbulent times, countries are restricting us, even though we have caused no violence, governments are in an outrage, only because they are afraid of us. I ask for these travel restrictions to end, I ask for religious freedom to prevail, you countries that ban travel to Likatonia, we are not just in Likatonia, we have a small church in Hutori, we have believers in Badara and Jelbania, we will not lose this fight we will prevail. Your scrutiny is unnecessary we cause no violence or unrest, it is you who does that, I urge all Reformed Hosains to peacefully protest do not cause violence only defend yourself, we will get through this. I call for a week of prayer for our persecutors, I call for all Hosians to join.
