People in my area are mostly farmers. They still do traditional farming, using old implements. We grow rice in our fields. Rice fields are now ready for harvest. The farmers will be busy harvesting and threshing the rice for the next few weeks. Although it is not easy to share the Gospel with non-Christians, the Lord still opens the door to reach out to the people with the Gospel. I have to go to the people at their work place, to their fields, and as I spend time with them they begin to share their problems with me. That gives me an opportunity to share the Good News with them and pray for them.
Sometimes, the Lord brings people to me. A week ago, a woman came to me. She was weeping; her husband is addicted to alcohol, and he beats her. She is ill, but her husband does not care for her. Instead, he tells her to go away and die. I talked to her from the Word and shared the Gospel with her and prayed for her.
I met another man at my relatives’ house. He had come from another village to see a witch doctor here. He had a problem, and he thought that it was due to an evil spirit. I met this man for the first time that day.
When he came to know that I am a Christian, he said to me, “I have heard that by prayers people are healed–Is it true?”
I said, “Yes.”
I had nice time with this man, sharing so much from the Word and sharing the Cross. Then, I prayed for him.
Please pray:
- For me, that I will grow in the Word and in the knowledge of the Lord and be His bold witness.
- That the Lord will open the hearts of the people whom I have shared the Gospel with.
- For my church’s growth, that more and more people will be saved and be added to the church.
- For God’s wisdom and strength to do the work of the Gospel.
- For my family members to grow in the Word.
Thank you once again for your prayers and support!
In Him,
