Sat 1. Patrick & Violet – Kenya
We trained 12 teachers in one of the Muslim-dominated coastal regions of Kenya to empower them to share the gospel effectively in their Islamic context. For a month after, each trainee focused on five people around them. One of the trainees gave this testimony: a neighbor who is into witchcraft allowed us to do a discovery Bible study from his house. After some time of listening and participating in this study, the man decided to receive Christ as his savior and is now attending our church services. Glory be to the Lord.

We praise the Lord for his immense blessings on our ministry.

Thu 6. Anonymous – Liberia
Late into the evening on New Year's Day while taking a light walk to the market, I came across a teenage girl prostituting herself. I seized the opportunity to share the gospel with her and declare to her the evil effects of sex for money and sex outside marriage. She listened attentively and at the end prayed to receive Christ into her life and expressed her desire to discontinue her life of prostitution and return to school. Pray as we seek effective ways to disciple her. Also thank God for the approval granted by the Bishop of the Assemblies of God in Liberia to organize Bible clubs in all their schools.

Wed 12. Tsevi & Afiwa – Togo
An elderly woman, a Voodoo (Idol) follower recently accepted Christ after our many visits. One night after our visit, she had a scary dream where God was pulling her ears and asking why she didn't listen and follow what the evangelists (my wife and I) had been telling her. She was shown two paths; one leads to a church and the other to nowhere. She narrated the dream during our visit and prayed to receive Christ into her life. We are in touch with the pastor of the church she now attends for follow-up and her baptism.

Although locals are completely against Christians gathering in homes for prayer, thank God for helping me run two house groups currently.
Wed 19. Pi – India
My ministry focus is on the Gamit tribe. They have deep-rooted beliefs in demons and witches. Beside the crocodile, which is considered a god, they worship groups of deities made of shapeless pieces of stone or wood, placed under trees, where supernatural beings are believed to dwell. The Gamit have no temples in which to hold their religious ceremonies. Pray that God may open their eyes to the truth of the gospel.
Thu 20. HAFA – East Asia
SUP is an 18-year-old Muslim man who believed after hearing the Gospel that I shared. He is a quiet and timid young man, who doesn't like going out and only plays online games at home.

Pray that he will have the courage to testify about his newfound faith to his family and friends.

We have identified three families in the three areas where we are ministering to serve as nuclei of house churches. Please pray that they may readily open their homes for this important service and be prepared to serve the Lord. W had encountered some Christians as he pursued his chicken business. Their aversion to alcohol and drugs aligns with his principles, so he became good friends with them. After hearing the story of Isa Al-Masih, (Jesus) who died and rose on the third day to forgive the sins of all mankind including him, he opened his heart and believed in him. Thank God for opening W’s heart to his truth.
Mon 24. Hy – Vietnam

Tue 25. Po– India
Hindu people came to my village, burned my house, and chased me out of the village because I accepted the Lord. They threatened to kill me if I didn't come back to Hinduism. Three times, they asked me to come to the temple where they planned to kill me. Radical people tied me to a pole and beat me severely. Through it all, I thank the Lord for his protection and for accompanying me as I relentlessly reach out to Gondi villages, 15 of them altogether. Pray for grace never to give up and for fruitful ministry.
