We were blessed God sent Larry and Colleen Powers to officiate! They loved the parade through the dusty roads as Muslims and Christians danced along side us, the graduates getting picked up by the women and whisked back to their seats, the dancing, gifts, cake, and all the joy!

Worker 11 – 10/40 Window Praise Points: Praise the Lord, this month God gave me the opportunity to bring the Good News to two more new villages. Many women heard the news of Lord Jesus Christ for the first time. Praise God, and God heard the prayers of my family and all of you, and my wife is pregnant now. Praise God, some pastors from Saving Grace came to visit us and we had a very good time with them. And God allowed everything to go safely. Thanks to God, the conference was also very good. Prayer Points: Please pray for my wife, may He keep my wife and child safe. I am thinking of sending them to another city in the coming days because there is no good doctor here. Please pray continuously. A woman named P in our church was beaten up by her family members, her Bible was taken away, and she was locked in the house. When she spoke to us on the phone, they took her phone away, too. May God release that woman quickly so that she can come to the house of God. Please keep praying that the believers in our church will be strong in God’s word and strong through the persecution. Please keep praying that in the coming elections, God will give us a government that will allow us to spread the news. Please keep praying that God will open the doors of more villages where we can spread the news. Thanks for your prayers, Christian love, partnership and participation in spreading the Gospel!  God bless you all! Worker 11
