Update and Request
+ At our farmer training that ended last week, I wanted to update that two RuJohn men heard the Bible chronologically storied. Please pray that God will soften the hearts of these two RuJohn men. Pray the Holy Spirit will remind them of these stories and they will dream about them, question their faith, and come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Pray that these men will be influential for other RuJohn men to come to the training, hear the Bible storied, and seeing the Gospel go forth among the RuJohn people. May one day MANY RuJohn people be bowed down before Your Throne, O God worshipping You!

New Request
+ Recently a death happened on the agricultural farm, this then led to the farm employees coming and paying respects to the family. One family Mr. Benny (husband and wife)that are from the Limbox people were there at the funeral, where the Gospel was presented and shared. Pray for this Limbox family, that the Lord will open their hearts as well to His Kingdom. At this same funeral was a leader from that same Limbox village. He had came to oversee (from his side) the funeral and burial of someone in his jurisdiction of land. Please pray for Mr. and Mrs. Benny. They have LOTS of family in the Limbox village near us. Pray that God will radically save them, their families, the leader that came, and their whole village. And may one day, they too be bowed down before our Great and Mighty King of Kings.

Friends, the Gospel is going forth. Keep praying. Pray that God will soften hearts. And pray that when the Gospel is being presented that the Spirit of God will working and stirring in those hearts. Pray for boldness for our whole team (including our national Christian partners) that we will be quick and ready to share the Gospel.

May God bless you. And may God bless the PB peoples by drawing them into His Kingdom!

Greetings PB blog followers! As always, thank you for your prayers. We appreciate each of you so much. Here are the next two weeks worth of prayer requests:

+ Our farmer training is taking place currently. It began yesterday. There are several attendees this session. Please pray that not only will these farmers learn techniques that will aid their livelihood but also their eternal life. Pray that God will do a great work over this current session and that many of the farmers will be realize "the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

+ On July 17, 2008 I wrote about Mrs. Lane who is a new believer. I told you about how her husband had her put under a spell. And through all of it God drew her out of the pits and now she is a new life in Christ. Praise the Lord. At that time, I asked you to pray for her husband and their families. Last week I was with some national partners, as they shared with me of how they had recently visited with Mrs. Lane AND her husband. Mr. Lane was OPEN to listen to the Gospel. Praise the Lord.
> Please pray that MANY more of these interactions will happen with Mr. and Mrs. Lane. Please pray that God will mightily save Mr. Lane, a man laced with spells, curses, and all variations of evils, witchcraft, spiritual issues that often times our Western minds have difficulty understand.
>Please pray for Mrs. Lane. Pray that God will continue to grow her in godliness. Pray that she would be as the women in 1 Peter 3. "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands, so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior... but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God." (vv 1-4) Please pray for those that meet with her and disciple, that Biblical wisdom, advice, and instruction would be given to Mrs. Lane and not a cultural perspective but Biblical truth.


+ Once again, praise the Lord with us that we have national partners going out in the community among our 13 unreached groups and are actively trying to share the Gospel with them. Please pray for their own spiritual walk with the Lord. Pray that the Lord would bless their time in the Word and in prayer. Pray that God would give great depth to their faith in Him.

As we still plead for God to save MANY of our PB peoples, we know that it is God's heart to "to seek and save that which is lost (Luke 19:10). So please keep praying, and pray in faith that He will draw out MANY of the PB peoples for His own.

"To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen." - portion of John's greeting in Revelation 1:5b
