Villagers including Muslims, animist, some of whom have never heard the Gospel before or were made to believe that Christians were different creatures came to witness this all historic program for the people of Mbad. Some villagers walked for hours over night to attend this program due the lack of transport and their inability to afford transportation cost.

The villagers who had converged on the church premises and had been waiting for 6 to 7 hours for the commencement of the program were fed lunch. while the musical team from Dakar entertained the congregation to good gospel music song in the villagers language.

The message was preached by Pastor Diatta a son of the Serere tribe. Making a remark, Chief Saar thanked the DONE Board and the ministry for what the Lord is accomplishing through the ministry for him and the people of his village. Speaking through an interpreter and from the pulpit for the first time, pointed to Evelyn and said in these word, “ I now present to you the keys to my village, Let the will of your God for my people prevail through out our land.” He was supported with a aloud applause from the villagers and his council men. We give God the glory for the work that He has started.
