Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also the Greek.”
In this month’s prayerlink, partners share testimony after testimony of God’s miraculous work of salvation of the lost, healing for the broken, and freedom for the oppressed. This comes as a great reminder that we must not feel ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ because it is the power of God for salvation, even as it applies to our support of indigenous missionaries. As we link our hearts to the missionaries, this powerful gospel message goes forth and lives are eternally impacted.
Worldlink is halfway through our year-end matching challenge campaign. We invite you to intentionally pray for God’s provision of the entire amount of the match and beyond. God’s provision here results in supporting 458 new missionaries vetted for 2025. Our unashamed commitment to pray, advocate, and give, directly results in furthering the ministry of Worldlink missionary partners who are unashamed to preach this gospel to those least reached.

Sun 1. Denis – Kenya
We have been discipling one family where only one member was a believer, yet the entire family attends Bible study. They have joined us for several church services and even invited a Muslim friend to hear the gospel. We studied "Power in the Name of Jesus" during the visit and watched a video based on Acts 3. Following many home visits and Bible study, this family has drawn closer to God. Pray that they may all soon come to faith in our Lord.

We traveled through four villages, proclaiming the gospel to over 1,800 people. Thanks be to God for 413 new believers, 15 of whom have been recently baptized. Many brought their charms for destruction. As I plan to relocate to Doukoula, near the border with Chad, pray for strength and wisdom in this new chapter of ministry.

A new believer, Sipho was eager to share his newfound faith with his family. Initially unsupportive, they were reluctant to accept his desire to attend church. We prayed for him, asking God to give him the courage to speak with his family and for them to witness Christ's love in his life. Thank God for the ongoing support of the community of believers as Sipho remains hopeful and dedicated to his mission.
Thu 5. Franck – Benin
Dogouin Samuel and his family had long lived in idolatry and strongly rejected the gospel. But Samuel's heart was touched by the message of Christ, and he accepted Jesus as his Lord. His family opposed him fiercely, even blaming him for a sickness that fell upon them. When Samuel prayed for their healing, they were miraculously restored, yet they still refused to follow Christ. Pray that God opens their eyes to the truth of the gospel and gives Samuel the grace to remain a faithful witness.
Fri 6. Robert – Benin
Brother Etienne was once caught in idolatry and adultery, but upon hearing the gospel and accepting Christ, his life was completely transformed.

His transformation is a powerful testimony to God's hand on his life.
Sat 7. Jean-Pierre – Togo
"My name is Gratien, and my life has been completely transformed because I know who I am in Christ. I was married but lived in adultery, spending my time in beer parlors pursuing other people's wives. I went to church, and prayed, but was spiritually dead. When I was reconciled with God through Jesus Christ, I became a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Thank God for filling my life and family with joy and His unconditional love."
Sun 8. Kossivi Amouzou - Togo

Mon 9. Innocent – Benin
The church I lead follows the Lord's command to be a missional church. Every month, we go door-to-door to share the gospel message.

Pray for God's blessings on her new venture. Please pray for continued maturing in Christ.

From April 18th to 21st, we conducted an evangelistic campaign in Dongo village. By God's grace, 20 people gave their lives to Jesus. Many were also healed and freed from demonic possession.

Pray that God protects the new believers and for their continued discipleship under a local pastor.

Thu 12. Daniel & Rolande - Togo
"I grew up in an idolatrous family. My father was a voodoo priest. Unknown to me, he had encountered the Lord, accepted Him as his Savior, and discarded all his voodoo practices. One day, I approached him with a desperate situation, expecting to receive a powerful 'recipe' to destroy someone's life. To my surprise, he told me he had already thrown the recipe away, but he had another recipe that was more potent than anything in the whole world. I was very happy as I looked forward to receiving this potion. The potion turned out to be the gospel of Christ. The message touched my heart, and I accepted Christ as my savior.” - Djihoulande. Thank God for his saving grace which is extended to all.
Fri 13. Pamazi – Togo
In the last three months, we have conducted evangelism sessions in a neighborhood where we aim to plant a church. Every Sunday after worship, we go there for visits. God in his grace has provided a portion of land where we have started worshipping. The devil stirred up the people against us, but the Lord heard our cry and calmed the situation. Pray for His protection and that He would build His church there.
Sat 14. Isaac – Kenya
I have been appointed to a peace committee in a remote part of Kenya. The committee consists of 8 Imams and only 2 Christians. This opportunity allows us to reach out to these Imams and the predominantly Muslim community. Our church is the only church in the area. We have faced a season when members were losing their faith and there was fear of threats of attacks on believers. Pray for grace to remain strong and vocal.

In tribal regions, witchcraft remains a major challenge. People are deeply tied to traditions, including making sacrifices with village leaders forcing participation in tribal worship.

I am grateful for the opportunity to mentor seminary students in personal evangelism. Initially, many students struggled with shyness and hesitated to share the gospel.

Our prayer is that God will bring many to faith through their ministry.

Tue 31. RHI – East Asia
We recently reached out to a new area that I had avoided, believing it was too difficult and dry for any fruitful ministry. However, God has already blessed us with two new believers. We thank God for these blessings and ask for prayer for continued fruitful ministry in this area.
ORLA, a 21-year-old involved in violence, drugs, and a criminal religious sect, was one of the most violent youths in his community. He, along with his grandmother and aunty, came into the house where our small group was meeting. They heard the gospel message and tearfully prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior. That same day, ORLA brought all his paraphernalia of witchcraft. We prayed over them and destroyed them. Praise God for this complete transformation and peace now reigning in their family.
