Wed 1. Matano & Juddie – Kenya
I thought I was the only convert among my close family members. However, it was during the funeral of a relative, where I courageously shared God’s word, that I came to find out that there are more than 20 other Christians in our family. They didn’t speak up because they feared persecution. There were elders, who were strong traditionalists and even practiced witchcraft, as well as Sikhs who are now followers of Christ. Thank God for such surprises. Please pray for wisdom as I seek to bring them together to create a strong force for God in our family.

Thu 2. Hanna & Philip – Ghana
Mama Asana, one of the first believers in Kidenge, gave her life to Jesus during our house-to-house evangelistic outreach in February 2020. She has remained consistent in her faith and commitment to Christ ever since. She took initiative, to use the audio Bible on a farm to minister the Gospel to a group of women as they harvested groundnuts. Please pray that her effort may bear immense fruit for the kingdom of God. Pray also for her husband. Though a Muslim, he permitted us to hold our evangelistic meetings in front of their house.
Fri 3. Worldlink USA
Pray today as the US Board meets; for God to be glorified as we praise Him for who He is and what He has done, seek Him for wisdom as we respond to opportunities, and ask Him for His strength to pursue with passion the path He has laid before us. Pray as we add almost 300 indigenous missionary partners to our teams over the next 4 months.
Sat 4. John & Ruphina – Kenya
Shared the Gospel message one-on-one both on the street and during home visits. There was only one new believer. They testified his conversion took place after a little boy shared the Gospel with him. The boy has been challenging him to stop drinking and come to church. After the child pestered him many times, the man decided to come to church. He is now a changed man and has stopped drinking. Thank God for his intervention in his life and for the spiritual growth of church members in their understanding of the Scriptures and their commitment.

Wed 8. Fredrick & Emily – Kenya
Our challenge in ministry is that Emily still lacks an intervention program for young women and girls. She has many friends who are idle with nothing to do. They would like to have a salon where they can meet and reach out to more girls and young women. Pray for God’s provision. We have created a soccer team through which we hope to reach out to young people. Pray that this may become an effective tool for evangelism.
Thu 9. Narcisse & Vicky – Cameroun
Bayan was one of the 25 people who received Christ’s salvation during the quarter. She was born into a family that practices magic and divination. Due to her loose sexual lifestyle, she had a baby in her teenage years. She was destined to be the witchcraft priestess of her family, but she turned to the Lord and was delivered from the powers of witchcraft and divination. Thank God for his intervention in her life and pray that she may be an effective witness in her family.
Fri 10. Joshua & Esther – Kenya
The drug addiction problem has not spared anybody in this society. Be they young or old, single or married, all have been taken captive. Their society has lost its sense of direction. I recently visited a family in which parents and children are all victims of drug addiction. The father gave his wife money for shopping, but she spent it on drugs. A sharp argument ensued which needed my intervention. They saw a reason to abandon drugs and turn to the Lord. They are struggling, but all things are possible with God. Pray for their total deliverance and wisdom as I continue to minister to them.
Sat 11. Hellen & Wycliffe – Kenya/Ethiopia

Tue 14. Richard – Congo DR
Lumiere, 19 years old, a single mother and a pastor’s daughter, was very active in the camp. In our discussion with her, however, we found she had yet to have Christ in her life. So, we challenged her to receive God’s salvation, but she flatly refused. We decided not to push but pray earnestly for her. Two days later when we repeated our invitation, she yielded her life to the Lord and now gladly participates in our prayer and Bible study meetings. Thank God for his intervention in her life.
