*I. **Introduction*
*A.
**/Illustration:/* Africaner was a Hottentot desperado of Mamaqualand.
He was such a hardened character that the governor at Cape Town had offered five hundred dollars for him dead or alive.
He and his men were the terror of South Africa.
When Robert Moffat went as missionary to Africaner’s tribe, the people at Cape Town never expected to see him again.
They told him that Africaner would use his skull for a drinking cup.
Trusting in God, the brave missionary preached the Gospel to these savages.
His first convert was Africaner.
Later Moffat took him to Cape Town with him.
When the colonial ruler saw the savage changed into a humble Christian man, he said, “What a miracle!
This is the eighth wonder of the world!”
* *
*B.
*Today, we are going to look at the miracle of conversion in the text of 1 Thessalonians 1:9.
Whether in South Africa, or Macedonia, or the US, or wherever, this is what happens when a prepared heart is penetrated by the power of the gospel.

*C.
**Review 2-10*

*3.
*He has stated the manner in which they give thanks, the timing of their thanks, and the cause of their thanks.
*4.

As you follow his thoughts:
a.
He has told them how he knows of their election
(1) In verse 5, By the power of their preaching
(2) In v. 6, by the response the hearers had to the missionaries’ preaching
