Beyond Evangelism: Establishing a lifelong faith in Jesus

Praise and Prayer July 23rd!

 

Nigeria

Praise

  • This week, Samuel met with 7 of the new believers from the jungle, and it was a really a good time for them! They are continuing tomorrow with the teaching. 
  • Benjamin is really progressing in his training, and is taking Bible classes by correspondence. He is the one who witnessed to the 7 people who are now attending the training. 
  • On Saturday Peter went to the refugee camp with food bought with donations from our supporters. More and more people are responding to refugee camp needs, and they are not as dire as they were last week!
  • Comfort was sick last week but has been recovering well this week, praise God!

Prayer

  • There are more than 20 areas that refugees are staying, the camps in Kurru and Bukuru are the largest, one with over 3,000, and the other with over 2,000. They still are in need of a place to stay and continued support.
  • Comfort’s training had to be postponed because of attacks on farmers and people in transit outside Maiduguri. The government is not adequately responding to the threat, and the militants are dressing as soldiers so people don’t know where to run.
  • Comfort is the only one of her family in Maiduguri, prayer for her encouragement and strength.
  • One more week of classes for Peter. 
  • Peter travels next Monday to Jalingo to find out about the conferences that we are going to have with UMC and ECWA
  • Sheik coming from Sokoto today, prayer for safe travel, and thanksgiving for success stories about people giving their lives to Christ, and people willing to come for the MBB conference in October. 

USA

Praise

  • David’s trip to WA went well! 
  • Praise for the supporters who donated to help with the refugee situation!

Prayer

  • Rick has a trip to Bellingham next weekend to speak about FFICM at a church!
  • Dara was able to talk with several Christians during the opera she performed in this weekend and is hoping God will give her a chance to minister more to singers this fall (she has an audition with Portland opera chorus in two weeks.) 
  • Dara’s father-in-law is having heart surgery this week, prayer for his protection and his family as they are very concerned. 

Ethiopia

Praise

  • Rich and the team are teaching university students this week! They have 103 students from all over Ethiopia, from many different universities. The students have a lot of energy and passion for the Lord, and are so enthusiastic one of them was even sharing the gospel at break times!
  • Weather is great, which is a mercy!

Prayer

  • Students are embarrassed about their English, so people aren’t volunteering as easily for individual questions, so tomorrow the team is making a rule that they speak only in Amharic so that they won’t feel pressure.
  • For safety for Eskendir’s pregnant wife and his baby.

Cameroon

Praise

  • Florence arrived in Mbingo safely!

Prayer

  • Rich heard from pastor Yisa that it is still too dangerous to check on our trainees from last year, please pray for their protection!
