Pray that all 17 may grow to become effective fishers of men for Christ.
Thu 3. Sali & Delphine – Cameroon
Sali has been struggling with his health for a while. He was so sick he could hardly pick up his phone. Just as he was on the mend, he developed painful rashes at the back of his neck.

Please pray for provision to sort this out.

Members individually also committed themselves to preach the gospel.

Wed 9. Marie-Therese – Rwanda
Eight-year-old James was in one of our camps. Under conviction, he confessed to stealing from his mother, prayed for God’s forgiveness and yielded his life to the Lord. He then went home to confess to his mother and seek her forgiveness. She forgave him but set a test which he passed and confirmed he has truly changed. That led the mother to faith in Christ Jesus. Thank God for speaking, “Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants…” – Psalm 8:2

Prison Ministry - Uganda
Fri 11. David – Congo DR
Thank God for restoring Priscille. She was baptized at 16 but backslid mainly because she lives in a part of the city that is the stronghold of anti-Christ religious sects. Her father led her to our office where we have been taking her through basic Christian tenets. She has grown strong in her faith and now wants to start a Bible meditation cell in her neighborhood to reach young people and bring them to Christ. This is a great challenge knowing that the sects operating in these areas are hostile to Christ and can be aggressive. Please support us in prayer as, with her, we plan to shake this neighborhood with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Sat 12. Worldlink UK
For the first time in two years, the Worldlink UK Board of trustees is meeting in person today (with a few meeting on zoom for non-Covid related reasons). Pray that in the midst of the political turmoil and economic struggles and difficulties in the UK, that the Lord would guide the trustees to wise decision making regarding growing Worldlink‘s foot pad and reaching more unreached people.

I am walking alongside 26 vulnerable young people who come from challenged backgrounds in an afterschool support program using a holistic approach.

Wed 16. Mzwabantu – South Africa
A lady has had car accidents on several occasions. Being a strong believer in ancestral spirits, she slaughters cows to seek her ancestors’ protection and direction. But the accidents continued. I witnessed to her and invited her to follow God’s way by inviting Jesus into her life. During a visit to one of the churches, she accepted Jesus and forsook ancestral worship. I met her again and she testified to the peace she now enjoys as a child of God. Pray that she may be steadfast in her faith.
