First, I would like to start by apologizing for not updating the blog sooner. We have had a few illnesses and before that no internet availability for about two weeks, so that has made it difficult to post on the blog.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!
It is during this season that those in our organization not only are reminded of God's sacrificial gift of the birth of Jesus on earth, but also of Lottie Moon. For those not familiar with Lottie Moon, take a minute now and google her name. She made and continues to make a great impact on our work as international missions and giving becomes a focus in many churches this time of year. We are thankful to God for His Ultimate Gift to us this Christmas... the gift of His Son Jesus, and also for many of you who give sacrificially for the cause of seeing God's Name being made known and glorified around the world. Thanks be to God and to you for your sacrifical finances, prayers, time in coming, etc. May He receive the Glory!
A new brother!
We want to praise the Lord for a new follower of Christ among the Rujohn people. Pray for our new brother as very few of his people are seemingly even open to the Gospel. Praise the Lord for one of his neighbors who is from a very different people group, yet is also a follower of Jesus and is willing to meet with this new Rujohn believer! Pray that our new brother's faith would grow, that he would be grounded in the Word, and that he would be obedient to the Word and thus sharing the Good News with those around him.
Training national partners
Please continue to pray for our national partners who are so much on the frontlines, sharing the Gospel with our 13+ people groups that live in our province. Please pray for their time in the Word, pray for their health and safety as some travel quite often, pray for their obedience to God's Word, for their boldness, and for them as they disciple new believers. The PB team is still searching for more national partners to make a new team that will focus on areas of our PB peoples that we have been unable to reach thus far. Please pray for God's leadership in this as we continue prayerfully searching for new partners that are willing to go, possibly move and live in new areas that we have not yet been accessed.
