* The agricultural/chronoligical Bible storying training is still going on and there are a few days left on the training. Originally there were to be several attendees, however one lone soul showed up to attend. Please continue to pray for Pak Trans. Pak basically means Mr. in our language. So anytime we speak to someone here, we refer to them as Pak or Ibu. (Ibu being Mrs.) Pak Trans is already a believer, please pray that while he is here, he will grow deeper in his faith and be challenged by the godliness he may see in our brothers and sisters here on the farm. Pray that he will go back to his village with a deeper love of our Lord and a desire to see all those around him become followers of Jesus our Saviour.
* The meeting on May 2nd went well. The teaching was accepted well, and many remain challenged and are still praying for how they feel about this teaching and what God may be calling them to do. There are a few families that feel like they need to follow God in new bolder ways. Please pray for these families, for wisdom from God, deeper love of our Lord, deeper desire to know Him and be in His Word, and for increasing boldness.
* The last update/request also affects what I am about to share here. As you may remember we were asking you to pray for new believers who do not yet meet in any type of fellowship/group/Bible study but we long to see them begin meeting and being discipled. Please continue to pray for these new believers, and please also pray for these families above that may be instrumental in helping gather these new believers and discipling them.

* Please pray for Ibu (Mrs) Paycall. She is a follower of Jesus. She shares the story that at one point in her life, her husband had her under a spell (for several years actually). Some of our national partners here had tried to share the Gospel with her. She says that when they did, it was as if they were speaking a totally foreign language, until one day... she understood. And later, it was clear to her that she needed the Saviour, Jesus Christ. Her husband and parents are NOT believers. Please pray for their salvation. Pray that God would give her great boldness and clarity. Please pray that God would open their hearts and minds to the Good News of Jesus Christ.
