Mon 6. Hellen & Wycliffe – Kenya
Thank God for the safe arrival of a baby girl, Aniya Tehilla (which means “His grace has given us an inspired praise song”). She joins their two boys.
Mr. H has been going through a pre-conversion discipleship course for a while. He recently asked us to assist him to become a Christian. Being a Somali, we alerted him to the serious persecution he would face, but he persisted. He prayed to accept Jesus and has since experienced serious persecution starting from his family. They chased him out and seized the motorcycle (taxi) he depends on for his daily bread. He is currently living with one of our team members. Thank God for saving him and pray for provision of another business tool. He has started sharing his faith with his close friends.

Tue 7. Elijah – Zamfara, Nigeria
Anna received the Lord Jesus during our ministry in their school fellowship. She was facing a lot of pressure from three teachers who wanted to “go out” with her before allowing her to pass their respective courses. She refused to submit to their evil deeds. She ‘failed’ the courses and must re-sit them. She is determined to stand firm for the Lord. Please pray that God may intervene in her situation and grant her grace to overcome the snare of the evil men.
Wed 8. Nelito – Mozambique

We now have access to many places beyond where we are living.
Thu 9. Hannah & Philip – Ghana
Hannah has struggled with gastritis for the past few months. She had an endoscopy done in August and had medication for a week. However, the discomfort has persisted.

Mon 13. Eugenio & Vitorina – Mozambque
Before we entered the yard, chairs were already prepared, and people seated and expectant. After presenting the gospel message, the man told us he has been waiting for us for a while. He said in his many years as a Muslim, all he saw was hatred, sorcery, killings, and destruction of each other. He has found that Christians do not destroy each other. They hate crimes or wars. He has therefore decided to live in union with Christ and His people. He and his wife prayed to receive Christ on the spot. Thank God for such conviction and pray for our follow-up program for them.
Tue 14. Sibongele – South Africa
My elder sister has shut down since our mum passed away and my younger sister’s diabetes became uncontrollable. I have been taking care of my elder sister not realizing the impact all these have been having on me. I found of recent that I started to forget simple things such as failing to shut off the stove or close the taps, not locking the door of the house or the car. I was doing things that pose serious danger to my life and our house. Please pray for God’s intervention and direction as we seek needed help.
Wed 15. Daniel – Adamawa, Nigeria

From July to August the number of Covid cases rose significantly, which affected our ability to evangelize. Some of our staff also got Covid and had to self-isolate for two to four weeks. Thank God for their healing.

Thank God for four new believers we recently baptized. One of them, Deendayal was a drunkard who was such a nuisance to all and especially, his family.

Pray that the Lord may grant me His wisdom and courage to continue to proclaim Him to all.
