Praise the Lord for the seed that is being sown (as was the prayer request from the last blog) AND for those who have newly became followers of Jesus.
Please pray for:
* Mrs. Warcy, a new believer whose husband is a severe diabetic. Please pray for her husband's salvation and health. Pray for those whom are discipling Mrs. Warcy for wisdom, clarity, and boldness as they present the Gospel to Mr. Warcy. Pray for Mrs. Warcy's faith to grow deeper in the knowledge and truth of Christ.
* Mrs. Ware is a new believer. Ware is 75 years old. She is being heavily persecuted by another woman, Mrs. Su. When one of our friends goes to Mrs. Ware's home, our friends are not allowed to visit with Mrs. Ware because Mrs. Su will not allow it. Mrs. Su has told several in the community so that there is community pressure on Mrs. Ware because of her new faith in Jesus Christ. Praise God with us that Mrs. Ware has communicated that despite the persecution and community pressure, she still believes and is still a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for Mrs. Su, the persecutor that the Father will radically save her as he did with Saul, also known as Paul in the Scriptures. Pray that Mrs. Ware will not lose faith but that her faith too will grow deeper. Pray that she will be a light for Christ in her community.
* Lastly please pray for Mr. Toluse. Toluse is a recent believer as well. However since his conversion, he is often in a state of confusion. Pray that God will give him clarity. Pray that God will bring followers of Christ into his life to disciple him and encourage him in his new walk with Christ.
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, "For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered." But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to seperate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:31-39 NASB
