* The Dream
Recently a man was badly sick in the hospital. While there he had a dream that he died. Upon death, he went to a Beautiful place but was not allowed in. And then he woke up and was wondering about the dream. He began asking others about his dream. A follower of Jesus went to visit the man. The man then told the follower of Jesus about the dream, and ask them for an answer regarding the dream. The followers of Jesus then told the man that the place must have been Heaven. They further told the man how no man can enter Heaven without believing upon Jesus. The followers of Jesus then prayed for his healing in Jesus' Name. The man was then healed of his sickness.
Prayer Request: (1) the followers of Jesus are going back to visit the man and talk further about the Gospel, Heaven, and where this man put his trust. (2) Pray that God will give MANY, MANY more PB peoples dreams and visions such as these. (3) And lastly pray that our partners/followers of Jesus will be prepared to share Truth with those they encounter.
*The Story Going Forth...
Mr. and Mrs. Safety became followers of Jesus a few years ago. Since then, their children also have believed. Recently, Mrs. Safety was sharing with a neighbor woman about her beliefs in Jesus. This conversation sparked some questions among their non-believing relatives and friends. These unbelieving friends and relatives then asked more questions about Jesus, the Bible, being His follower, etc. It came to the point where Mr. and Mrs. Safety did not know how to further explain some things, so they called some of our friends that are followers of Jesus. This couple along with another follower of Jesus (3 in all) went to Mr. Safety's village where they expected to find 1 or 2 curious people asking about Jesus. Imagine as they found 8 people wanting to know more about Jesus. Five men and three woman. [Three couples (husband and wife) and two other men.] The followers of Jesus spent hours and hours explaining the Gospel, talking about Jesus, and talking about what it is to be a follower of Jesus. One woman responded by saying "why didn't you tell us this sooner?" And one of the men responded "Now I am beginning to understand, now its beginning to make sense." Then a few days later one of the five men drove to one of the followers' home. And then he wanted to know EVEN MORE. Praise the Lord. He is making Himself known among the nations.
Prayer Requests: (1) Pray for these 8 that they would not just desire knowledge but a life-altering relationship that is known as becoming a follower of Christ. (2)Pray that just as God used this one couple to share about Him, these eight would in turn share this Amazing News with others. (3) Pray the Gospel will spread like wildfire among our PB peoples.
Praise the Lord! We know that ALL of this is done at the hand of God, by Him, for Him, and for His Glory just as Romans 11:36 says "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen."
