Mon 1. Georges & Christelle – Cameroun
From December 29 to 30, we held an evangelization campaign in the Nola district of Moloundou. Thank God for the fruitful outreach that brought five people into God’s kingdom. Let me tell you the exciting story of a family that attended the campaign. The man had forbidden his two MBB (Muslim-background believer) wives and children from ever setting foot in a church. During the campaign, showed a film entitled, ‘To Whom Are You Committed?’ The film spoke directly to the family’s situation and led to the man accepting Christ into his life. Glory be to God.

In Mayo Belwa region we visited eight schools reaching 657 students. In Kaltungo, the Gombe State conference was held with 350 students in attendance while the Zonal conference in Jimeta ministered to 540 students. We welcomed 442 students into God’s kingdom during these programs. Pray that all new believers may be grounded in faith as we follow them up in their school groups.
Wed 3. Justin – Benin
Thank God for the way the faithful are standing up to false pastors and teachers. I have seen lately that they are getting more enlightened and displaying a faith centered on God's Word. They boldly say ‘no’ to false teachings thus freeing themselves from the false teachers’ deception. I now worry less about the dangers false teachers pose.
Thu 4. John & Ruphina Musyoka – Kenya
We had a successful youth camp in December. The focus was to equip the youths for ministry. We have also been doing door-to-door evangelism and showed the Jesus film in two villages. Thank God for blessing us with 15 new believers. Renson is a member of our Men's group. I usually share the word of God during our meetings. He recently gave his life to Christ and now he is visiting his fellow men and testifying to what God has done in his life. He is an elder in the village with wide influence. Pray that his testimony may impact many people.

Fri 5. Tivakudze – Zimbabwe
Patrick was a member of the White Garment Church when he came to campus. This is an occult that neither reads the Bible nor recognizes Christ as the Savior. After my discipleship meetings with him, he came to realize he was far from knowing Christ personally. He prayed to receive Christ in his life and follow the true God. He is now one of my apprentice students, my Timothy. Thank God for the increase in the number of students leaving cultic churches to come to follow the true Gospel.
Sat 6. Albino – Adamawa Nigeria
We shared our mission’s theme for the year (Be careful how you build – 1 Cor. 3:10) in three institutions: the College of Health Technology during their semester leadership retreat, Adamawa State University, and the Federal Polytechnic Mubi. We ministered to 337 students altogether. Thank God for 10 participants who came to faith in Christ during these meetings.
Sun 7. Denis & Janet – Kenya
Zaituni (pseudo name) is a friend of my daughter. She obtained permission from her parents to visit us during the holidays. Being a Muslim and not wanting her to feel pressurized, I told her to keep herself busy by reading some of the books in the house or watching her favorite TV program as we went to worship service. To my surprise, she hurriedly prepared herself and followed us to church. While there, she sent my daughter to inform the leader to get an interpreter so she could follow the service. She responded to the altar call and received Christ as her Savior, promptly joined the discipleship class, and attended all the sessions. I interviewed her before her baptism to ascertain her understanding of what she was doing. She shared her testimony affirming her commitment to follow Jesus Christ and I baptized her. She has now joined a high school and has requested a Bible. Thank God for his intervention in her life.
Mon 8. Jean-Marc & Iris – Benin
Sena is a single father of three children. I first met him in the company of his former wife. He went to church regularly but without any knowledge of the Savior. He then gave it all up because “It has nothing to offer me”. He went up north to work. I recently found him on Facebook, connected with him, and shared the Good News with him again. Praise God, he accepted the Lord, confessed the sins that have kept him in Satan’s slavery, and is now serving the Lord in our ministry.
Tue 9. Isaac & Agnes – Kenya
KD is a young police officer who converted to Islam three years ago because of a Muslim girl he has since married. I and another officer have continued to minister to him. Thank God for finally helping him to realize his error. We continue to stand with and pray for him. He is ready to make the right move but fears his in-laws’ reaction and the impact on his family. Please pray for the courage to take the right action. Pray also that his wife will come to understand and embrace the truth of the Gospel. Also thank God for the growth in church attendance from 8 last year to 25 currently. Pray for many more.
Wed 10. Stephen – Abuja, Nigeria
In the last quarter, we visited five secondary schools and ministered to 1,303 students.

Thu 11. Samuel & Maureen – Kenya
We continue to stress the importance of education in our community. Consequently, an increasing number of children are being registered in the school. Some donors offer poor girls free sanitary pads to keep them in school during their menstrual period. Thank God for our Primary school which is now in the final stages of its official registration. Pray that our ministry to the children and their parents will yield much fruit for God’s kingdom.
Fri 12. Johnkessly – Plateau, Nigeria
born again in 2001 but backslid in 2017. I felt bitter with God for not saving my father and two siblings when Fulani militia killed them in my village. I concluded He neither exists nor is powerful enough to save so I went back to my cultish ways. My heart was filled with hatred and bitterness with a desire to avenge their blood. The message of encouragement I heard during the sports clinic brought healing to my heart. I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ. I am currently attending a trauma healing program in my community. I have renounced my fetish ways and I need prayers to continue in my faith despite the past."
Sat 13. Worldlink USA

ASIA REGION
Sun 14. Ashok – India
Sarada is an unreached village with many Hindu radicals. A girl lives there who has been dumb for many years. I went there fasting and much prayer asking the Lord to help me share Gospel with the villagers. God accompany me on my visit. I asked the Lord to have mercy upon the girl and she was healed promptly. This became a very big testimony in the village and opened wide the door of ministry for which we thank the Lord.
Mon 15. VOT – East Asia
I shared the gospel message with Mr. Tow on many occasions without a fruitful response. I wanted to give up, but God helped me to continue to maintain ties with him and his family. I was moved by God to visit him after one year of trying to reach him without success. The meeting that day filled my heart with joy. God answered our year-long prayers by drawing him to himself that day. A few days later, he was baptized. We trained him to reach out to his wife and child. After attending the MBB (Muslim-background believer) retreat, they both accepted the Lord and were baptized. They are all active in discipleship classes. Praise the Lord for his abundant blessings.
Tue 16. Asvin – India
We did a prayer walk and shared the Gospel message in six villages. Thank God for about 200 people who listened to our message and for two people, Jayesh and Kailash, who received Christ as their Savior. Pray for some people who are getting ready for baptism and thank God for the many new things he opens to us during our prayer walks.
Wed 17. SAY – East Asia
AHA dares admit openly that he is now a Christian. He said to others, "I have a priest. If you want to be saved and have all your sins forgiven, come and see my priest." One by one his friends were invited to see me and several of them have been won for the Lord. AHA is illiterate and hardly shares the Gospel with any of his friends but actively invites them. Thank God for his, “come and see,” ministry.
Thu 18. Vasava – India
Thank God for the grace to continue to fearlessly share the Gospel message in our focus villages. Even though persecution has become more intense, God continues to grant us the grace to share his message from door to door and during street prayer walks. A fellowship member who lost his son went into depression and left the church. We continued to visit him, encourage him spiritually and mentally with the word of God, and pray for him. Thank God for healing his heart and restoring him to fellowship.
Fri 19. Chel - Cambodia
Pov and his wife recently put their faith in Christ Jesus. When his wife was sick, they took her to a witch doctor who performed healing rituals like tying charms around her neck, using fire, spitting, and incantations on her, but all to no avail. She got to the point she despaired of living. They also spent a lot of money in the process. But when they put their faith in Christ, He set them free. Thank God for the living hope they now possess.
Discipleship Class - Cambodia
Sat 20. Gideon – India
Munusamy was a drunkard, but his wife, a believer, came to church and prayed earnestly for her husband. We invited him to come to church where he heard the Gospel message and accepted God’s offer of salvation. He now regularly attends church services. Thank God for the growth in the women’s ministry. We started with three women. This has now grown to twenty. Pray for more women to join the group.
Sun 21. JHR – East Asia
Praise God for TEM, daughter of our ministry founder, who won a workmate of her husband in Korea to faith in Christ. The friend heard the story of how TEM handled the threat from her husband’s Muslim family to force him to divorce her and marry another woman. TEM’s patient handling of this threat moved her to faith in Christ. She too has now brought several other fellow Muslim women in Korea to faith. They are going through discipleship, and we are trying to figure out how to safely baptize them.
Mon 22. Bidhu – India
During these last 3 months, I conducted evangelistic meetings in one village. I also organized youth evangelistic meetings and distributed Gospel tracts in other villages. Thank God for 20 people who came forward to accept the Lord as their Savior. One of them, Johan Majhi, experienced a marked transformation in his life after turning his life over to the Lord. Pray that he and other new believers may be well grounded in their faith.
Tue 23. Quy – Vietnam
We organized a worship and outreach event in Cambodia. It was a great night as about 300 came together to worship the Lord. Seeing people worship the Lord brought great joy to my heart. The event also united different churches. Thank God for about 50 unbelievers who heard the Gospel message and four of them who accepted Christ as Savior.

Pray for God’s comfort for one of our elders who lost his wife.

Thank God for Su, a Hmong brother serving the Lord in a local church. I met him in a training course, and we agreed to support each other in ministry. Together, we conducted two training courses in the church, with more than 70 people participating. Thank God for his boldness and zealous heart. We also went on missions to an unreached people group among whom he has set the goal to open a church soon. Pray for success in ministry.

In the past few months, God has given me the boldness to witness Him on the streets of a new village in which we started ministering recently. Pray for fruitful ministry there. Thank God also for the grace to share the Gospel message with my brothers. They are deep in darkness, and I thank God for giving me the burden to reach out to them and lead them to Christ. Please pray for their salvation.

Tue 30. VIRES – A Caribbean Country
Thank God for bringing YLN to faith who is quite a shy person with few words. However, we have seen him exhibit a convincing commitment to faith since he accepted the Lord as his Savior. He has made giant steps spiritually and possesses a clear gift for service. As he proceeds to baptism soon, please pray that he may remain strong in faith. Pray also for brother ENAL who, although beaten in many ways by the world, has today become a strong follower of Christ. We give God the glory for both brothers.
