Sat 3. Alusien – Sierra Leone
We reached out to 500 children when we distributed Samaritan’s Purse shoeboxes in our Muslim dominated community. The parents normally forbid their children from entering the church building but not on the day we shared the shoeboxes. The children and their parents burst into the church building, and they all listened to our message. Thank God for this breakthrough. Pray that the message may impact all who heard it.

It was great to finally meet some of the parents and talk with them about School Group and what we do there when I had the opportunity to speak at a parents’ workshop at Bisley Park Primary. Thank God for the 80 parents in attendance. Thank God also for provision of some Bibles which we gave to Grade 7 pupils of the school. One girl mentioned that it is the first time she’s owned a Bible. May they faithfully read and meditate on the word of God they now possess.

We visited the former Bamatu Centre trainees in their sewing workshops to see how they are doing. We wanted to check how their time in the centre is impacting on their lives. We were quite pleased with their successful integration into the society and thank the Lord for the fruit the ministry has allowed in the lives of these girls who once felt forced into prostitution but now have a new income source and a new power source as they are living in Christ.

We held a two-day crusade in Sikito and Charache villages in Northern Cameroon and a one-day outreach to Lainde Pokodo.

Tue 13. Daniel – Adamawa, Nigeria
We hosted Ibrahim, a convert from Islam currently studying at Christian Faith Institute in Jos for a month of practicum. His conversion story demonstrates the unparalleled compassion of the Lord Jesus for sinners. His passion for witnessing among Muslims is unequaled. He is never tired or fearful of witnessing to all he comes across. As a result of his conversion, one of his uncles, a Muslim Cleric, has turned his life over to Christ. He too is going through discipleship. Pray that God may continue to protect and empower them.
Wed 14. Sibongele – South Africa
We relaunched our school’s ministry recently. After the guest Pastor shared the word and some associates shared their testimonies of how receiving Christ as students has impacted their lives then and now, many responded to the invitation. One girl who was convicted and accepted Christ as her Savior on that day went back to her school to share her experience and started evangelizing to her peers. The school principal, having observed the immense changes taking place in the students’ lives, requested us to minister to the students and start our movement in the school. Thank God for opening the door of ministry through this young girl.
School Children Responded to Receive Christ – South Africa
Thu 15. Dennis – Kenya
We engage only in one-on-one evangelism here. I shared the gospel with seven people taking time to help each understand man's helplessness if he rejects God's gift of salvation. A high school student (our Nicodemus) came to me at night with so many questions. He was in deep thought when he departed. I am expecting him to come back once schools close. Please pray that he may soon yield his life to Christ.

Through our daily Personal Evangelism outreach we were able to reach 170 people. They readily listened to the message but are often not ready to commit their lives to Jesus. We thank the Lord for five people who responded to our message. Please pray for the team as we follow up with them, that they may be willing to be baptized. Pray also that they and those already baptized may stay faithful to the Lord and follow our discipleship program so they may be equipped with the knowledge and skills to reach out to their family and neighbors.
Sun 25. Burra - India
Sravani was from Hindu background. She is a devotee of Durga Kali idol and was possessed by its spirit two years ago. We prayed for her, and she was delivered. She got married and moved to a village 70 miles away. When we were informed three months ago about the serious challenges she was facing there, we started praying fervently for her. God moved her to come to us, we shared the gospel with her again and this time, she accepted Christ, went back to her village and with her husband’s support, destroyed all her idols and its paraphernalia. Thank God for her salvation. Pray for her parents and parents-in-law who are opposed to her church attendance.

Tue 27. Dhabimohan – India
I always thought that I am not qualified for ministry even though I have a deep longing within me to serve God and reach many villages around me.

In the past three months, thirteen people came to faith in Christ and we have baptized eight of them.
