The latest class of 22 girls completed their training and apprenticeship at Bamatu Centre. They all were spending their fourth year in the workshop as they work to raise enough funds to own their sewing machines. Only six of them were able to meet the target. They went home with their sewing machines to start their own businesses. The money they paid will be used to buy six new machines for other trainees. Thank God for the progress the centre is making and its impact in the lives of the girls.

Fri 5. Lucas – Zanzibar, Tanzania
Thank God for 950 children who graduated from the 12-lesson Great Journey Bible course. Achieving that in Zanzibar is God’s own doing. Thank God also for opening the door of ministry in Makunduchi. There is no church in this town, but the team received approval from the Area District leader to give Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes to 160 children in a school. There was no room to preach or even prayer, part of the challenge of ministering in a predominantly Islamic area. Pray that God’s Spirit may do His work in the lives of the children who have received this gift.

Thu 18. Dhruba – Nepal
Devika and her daughter have followed Christ for over five years. Her son visits the church occasionally but has little interest in the Lord. Her husband, Deepak, a drunkard, has always avoided the Christian fellowship. Devika and the whole church have for many years faithfully prayed for Deepak. Deepak recently showed up in the church and promised to henceforth join the fellowship every Saturday. His visit is no doubt, an answer to our prayers. Please pray that he will not only continue to visit but will soon kneel at the cross of Christ and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
