Intentionality...
that is the PB team desire, to see God pierce the darkness in this PB homeland, by using us, followers of Jesus, to share His glory and gospel to this people. Since the Push, our national team also has been trying to be more intentional in sharing the Gospel. As of a week ago, a total of 40 (possibly more) have heard a full Gospel presentation. Please pray for these 40 and the many more that heard bits and pieces of the Gospel story, that they Holy Spirit would move in their lives, and that this "seed" would take root. Please continue to pray for all of us on the PB team that we would continue to be intentional in sharing the Gospel with all those we encounter and that God will save many, as only He can. Praise the Father with us for causing an urgency in our PB team. Praise the Father for those that who possibly had never heard the Story before were able to hear. And as the Psalmist says, "Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth(Psalm 115:1)."
Forgetting his cigarette...
Recently, a friend of ours that I have mentioned several times before, Mrs. Thumper, was at her home when a distant nephew was passing through town and stopped by the Thumpers home for a visit. Over the course of the night, Mrs. Thumper shared the full story with her nephew. At one point he was so involved, so into the Story that he accidentally, unknowingly dropped his cigarette. Please pray for Nephew as he obviously was very interested in the Story. Pray that the Holy Spirit would work in his heart. Thank the Lord with us for those seeds that Mrs. Thumper planted.
Still fasting...
We are still in the Fasting month for Muslims, Ramadan. It has been interesting to be out at night during this time. The town comes alive as they prepare to break their fast at sundown. And then to see many of them flock to the mosques, and fill them as we rarely see them filled before. Truly this is a time of searching for God and seeking His forgiveness. Please continue to pray for Salvation for our PB people, which is only found in Christ Jesus. Please pray that we will continue to be intentional in sharing where only True forgiveness may be found.
Psalm 117
Praise the Lord, all nations; laud Him, all peoples!
For His lovingkindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the Lord is everlasting.
Praise the Lord!
