Sat 13. CPM – Indonesia
“Youths tend to find Discovery Bible Studies (DBS) too heavy. Therefore, we’ve incorporated several aspects of DBS into character sharing groups: (a) finding Bible verses that show God’s way of dealing with problems; (b) specific action steps and accountability for doing those action steps; and (c) telling others about God’s work in your life, and being accountable to someone. Pray that the lives of the youths may be tuned to God as they go through this new program.”
Sun 14. Dhruba - Nepal
“Mary was one of our VBS teachers. Her role in the skit presented during the closing program was a person who was repenting from sin. Her action was so real she started crying profusely and pronouncing various sins while asking for forgiveness. There was a big applause at the end. I later learned from one of the drama leaders who knows Mary very well, that she was doing more than acting because she was convicted of her careless life and was really seeking forgiveness for all of her sins. That was the effect of what was discussed during the VBS sessions. Thank God for the impact of VBS both on students and teachers.”
Mon 15. AMT – Indonesia

Praise the Lord for bringing Amron in touch with Jarma, a “B” man. In Jarma’s house, every Wednesday, Amron runs learning activities for “B” kids.
