Tue 1. Jehoshaphat, Huntonayon & Celestin - Benin
This year, we witnessed the mighty hand of God in a particular location as 230 missionaries joined together to gather a harvest for Christ from three communities. We ministered to 2,567 souls cumulatively during the crusades and reached 2,500 people during another outreach. We praise the Lord for 1,486 people who gave their hearts to Jesus. In addition to the spiritual impact, we extended God’s love in tangible ways by providing free medical care for 138 people, ensuring that their physical and spiritual needs were met. The outreach also culminated in the planting of two new churches. We praise the Lord for all His blessings!
Wed 2. Sayi & Adopté - Togo
A.B. had been suffering from a wound on his foot for 10 years. All the medicines he bought to treat the wound were ineffective. I met him during our house-to-house evangelism and prayed for him. He received Jesus into his heart after we shared the gospel message with him. Afterward, we prayed for him and the wound started healing gradually. By the special intervention of our God, he is now completely fine. We give glory to the Lord, our healer.

Tue 8. Lily-Claire – Mauritius
I have been in touch again with one of the youths I discipled some years ago at church. He backslid from faith, but I thank the Lord for drawing him back to himself. He is now keen to have a clear understanding of God’s purpose and mission for his life. He came to two recent trainings on Child Development and Growing in the Word. We had some time to talk, listened to him, and gave him some guidance. He was encouraged in his faith and has committed to help with a youth cell group at their church. Pray that his faith may grow steadily and strongly.

We organized two youth retreats in which more than 100 young people participated. Thank God for five of them who came to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray that they may be grounded in faith as we prepare them for baptism.
Thu 10. Hellen & Wycliffe - Ethiopia
During evangelism in Hawassa, we met a young man who was on drugs and looked depressed. As we talked to him, we realized he was planning to commit suicide because his girlfriend whom he was planning to wed at the end of the year had dumped him. He had two knives with him and was waiting for his lunch break to execute his plan. We shared the love of Christ with him and led him to faith in Christ. We linked him with a pastor. This young man is responding well and attending counselling sessions. Praise the Lord for intervening in his life.
Fri 11. Elizabeth – Tanzania
AA, a Muslim, hates to hear about Jesus Christ. His wife brought his son, who at four years of age could neither stand nor walk, to our good news club and we prayed for him. The Lord heard our prayers, and the child started to walk. AA and his family turned from Islam, accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, and started coming to church. AA and his family of three children were baptized last month. To God, the miracle worker, be all the glory.
Sat 12. Alusine – Sierra Leone

Please pray that his evangelistic effort among his extended family may soon bear fruit.
Sat 19. Chao - Cambodia
Tahn is a local factory worker. His family’s financial situation and relational issues so weighed him down that he resorted to alcohol. Someone told him to go to church if he wanted to find peace. He joined a service and brought others along with him. He responded to Christ’s call to “all who are burdened and heavy laden” receiving the Lord as His Savior and overcoming his anxiety. He has since been baptized. Thank God for the peace he gives all who put their trust in Him.

Praise God for one person, DH, who came to faith in Christ in the last three months of our ministry. After he believed in Jesus Christ, there was a great desire to learn more about our Savior. Pray that through the follow-up and discipleship classes, his faith may grow stronger in the Lord, so he is not easily shaken when facing the challenges of being a Christian in his community. Pray also for more converts so we can start a house church soon.
Mon 21. Bijay – India
When Hari accepted the Lord, her husband forced her out of the house, and she had to rent a room for her and her little daughter. The church family assisted her in fighting for her rights. Thank God for finally giving her victory. She got back to her house while her husband moved out with another lady. The day she repossessed the house, she invited us to dedicate it and burn down all the remains of Hindu idols. She is now living in her own house without the torment and trauma of her husband. To support her financially, we are considering setting up a small farming project for her. Pray for God’s guidance.
Tue 22. Ram - Bhutan
Thank God for a great harvest of 12 soul’s last quarter. One of them, who comes from a strong Buddhist family, shared how his life was transformed when he heard about Jesus, His love, grace, and the redemption He offers. The Lord has changed his life. He is currently the sole Christian in his family. Please pray that his wife and children may soon accept Jesus as their Savior. Also pray that as he navigates the journey of faith, he may remain steadfast, find the strength to handle the tensions with his family, and be an effective witness to them and others.

ATB has won to faith and discipled many Muslim women. Based on many smaller loans that were repaid, we gave ATB a loan to open a midwifery clinic (her college degree is in midwifery).
