Sat 1. Johnkessly – Kaduna, Nigeria
"I was introduced to life as a gang member when I entered college. I was initiated into the gang and used to carry out some evil activities within and outside my campus. One evening, I heard some students singing in a classroom. I had a strong urge to join them, but I hesitated until I became restless. So, I joined them and that day, God spoke to me directly through the preacher. I responded to the altar call that night to receive God’s forgiveness through Christ. Although it has not been easy, the Lord has been sustaining me." Thank God for AA’s salvation and pray for steady growth in his faith.
Sun 2. Helen & Wycliffe – Ethiopia
We conducted Disciple Making Movement (DMM) training in Shashamane for over 50 youths. While teaching, I felt God prodding my heart, “Remember you have to go out to evangelize.” Although it was late, we divided ourselves into 25 teams and went out. One team met a man who was preparing to take his own life. They counseled him and prayed for him. They brought him to the training venue where he received Christ as his Savior and was delivered. He stayed in the church for a week as we discipled him. He soon began to share his testimony with others. From being suicidal to an instrument in the hands of God bringing hope and salvation to many. Thanks be to God.

Please pray for my Somali disciple, AN, who used to run a school for learning English in Kismayu. He was reaching out to his fellow Somalis through this.

My focus during the quarter was prayer. After 3 years of ministering, we have come to the end of our ministry among the Yao.

Every day except Sunday, I conduct “Morning Cry” between 5:00 and 6:00 am. I stopped for a while because of insecurity. During Morning Cry, I preach openly using the megaphone system.

We continue to thank God for the souls he is drawing to himself and pray that more souls may be saved.
