Dear partners in the Gospel,
These are some exciting days we are walking through, as the Lord leads our ministry. Please join us in praying for the ministries below.
Investing in the local established Church
In the 5 years that we have lived in PB land, our local established church has gone from caring mainly about the local Christian body and having little desire to share the Good News of Jesus with their Muslim neighbors till present day where common discussions are happening among the Christians of whom they have been sharing the Gospel with. Just last week a evangelism training was held at the church, where a good number of members came, and then the following day went out to practice sharing with whoever they met. In fact, 24 people heard the Gospel on last Thursday. From these 24 people, two people stated they desire to follow Christ and become a Christian. Praise the Lord! It is so amazing to see what the Lord is doing with the local body of Christ!
Please join us in praying that:
- the Lord will continue growing the local body of Christ, emboldening them to share the Gospel, and ultimately using them for His Glory in PB land.
- other churches that our PB team is working with will begin to share and hold God's heart for the nations, being obedient to the Scripture as ultimate authority, abiding in Christ, and sharing the Gospel with those around them.
College Student Ministry
R, C, and K continue to share with A. A has confessed that she understands that Jesus is God's answer to our sin problem. She understands that salvation is found in no one other than Jesus. However, A doesn't yet "feel convinced in her own heart" (as she says).
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will:
- continue working on A's heart - convincing her that Jesus is the Christ
- A- brought a Muslim friend with her during the last Bible study. We are unsure of her reasons in doing this but pray that A- would continue bringing others to study just WHO Jesus is.
- pray for the Lord to guide R, C, and K as they try to meet with A on a weekly basis
T and R continue to boldly share the Gospel and follow-up those who have already heard. A few weeks ago T and R found themselves facing a strict Islamic leader. He questioned them for two hours about the Bible and their faith in Christ. Praise God that they repeatedly shared the Gospel with this man. They say that over the two hour period, where four men gathered to discuss the Bible with them, that they shared a full Gospel presentation 3 times, as well as at other times drawing the four men back to God's Word. Through this, a young man name Von has become a believer, been baptized, and is being discipled. Praise God! The Islamic leader tried to get R & T to drink poison in order to test and see if God is truly on their side, that God truly takes care of His children. R & T expressed that the truly believed God, and that He takes care of His children, but felt no need to put God to the test.
Please pray that God will:
- continue to embolden T and R as they go out
- continue to lead and give them wisdom in answering the fiery darts that are being thrown at them
- as they disciple Von on a weekly basis
- that the Lord would use them in bringing MANY PB college students to Himself
- that God would renew their passion for Him and that T & R wouldn't just be sharing out of a feeling that it is their job but sharing from the deep love and gratitude they have for the Lord.
- R's health has not been the best lately - please pray that God will heal her and renew her strength
A Paycall Believer
A Paycall woman (that believed a few years ago) recently visited with Mrs. Per (a national partner). The woman expressed her sadness over her family's rejection of her. They have completely disowned her. They cut her out of the monetary inheritance that was divided when her father passed away recently. Mrs. Per tried to encourage Paycall woman that though she may have lost her earthly family, that she is now God's child, and that He will be with her and take care of her always even to the end of the age.
Please pray:
- that the Paycall woman would feel comforted by the Lord and that He is always with her
- that the Lord will save the Paycall woman's family.
Thank you for your prayers brothers and sisters!
Kingdom come! No place left! Finsih what others have started!
Your PB team
Psalm 65:4-5 "Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple! By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas..."

PR update April 6, 2013
Dear friends,
Thank you for checking the prayer blog. We praise the Lord how He is drawing people to Himself here in PB land. Please take time now to pray for the following:
Ministry among college students:
Thank you for praying for A and J in the last prayer update! Both continue to seem close to the Kingdom of God. Yet neither have made any sort of decision regarding following Christ. Please continue to pray for these two people. A development with J- is that he likes to invite other friends, from various religious backgrounds to study with he, R and T. About a week and a half ago, J- had invited F- to a Bible study. Once again, R and T presented the Gospel to J-. He continued open but not making any decision to follow Christ. However, upon hearing that same Gospel presentation, F- said that he wanted to become a Christ follower and at that very moment prayed for God to forgive him of his sins, and create a new heart within him. Praise the Lord.
Please pray also for:
* Fu
* Cindy
* Fawn
These are female college students also have heard the Gospel recently. Please join us in praying for the Lord to open their eyes, hearts, and souls to Him, that He would create a new heart within them.
In a different Bible study....
Praise the Lord as R shared with Y and friends about what a "new creation" looks like within the Believer's life, one of the friends admitted that she did not have this new heart and desired to follow Christ. That night, she confessed that Jesus is Lord and desired for Him to create a new heart within her that is bent toward Him. Praise God that He saves!
Trainings...
Also there will be a training among the Faces people beginning Wednesday of this upcoming week. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of believers that attend this meeting. They will be studying God's great heart and vision, the Bible as our authority, abiding in Christ, and an evangelism tool. Please pray that the Lord will use this to mobilize believers in one of PB area's unreached people groups.
There will also be trainings covering this same material in another part of PB area during the end of April and May.
Keeping Christ our focus
Lastly, please pray for our national partners. Some of them are struggling with different areas of their personal lives. This is affecting their ministry. Please join us as we pray and ask God to keep them focused on Him, being obedient to His Word, and actively sharing the Gospel and discipling believers (new and old) as well as those interested in following Christ.
We are praying for God to reign down His Kingdom here in PB land. We are praying for humility for ourselves and national partners. We are praying for Him to move in amazing ways.
Please keep praying, we and the PB peoples need your prayers.
Pressing on,

P.R. on two people who seem not far from the Kingdom
Dear friends,
I wanted to take a brief minute to send out TWO prayer requests before I send out the update in a few days. Some young women in our busy sharing the Gospel. Praise the Lord. This is so exciting to see and hear His Gospel go forth. Our prayer requests revolve around these women and those they have shared with.
1) Please pray C, K, and R as they haved shared the Gospel with a college student named A. A is very open to the Gospel and has asked to study the Bible together. K has regular talks with A about Jesus. A studied the virgin-birth, and the first chapter of Mark with C, K, and R. She believes the truths she is reading about Jesus and isn't trying to compare religions, but longs to know and follow Jesus. Praise God. She is also asking how to pray to God. Please pray for A that God will create a new heart in her. It seems that if she hasn't already believed, then she is very close. Please pray for those that share with A. Pray that the Lord will give them wisdom and guidance as they work with A.
2) Please for T & R as they have shared with J- across seven encounters. J- knows a lot about the Koran and when T & R speak of Jesus, he knows right where to go in the Koran that speaks of Jesus. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to move J-'s heart. He has heard the full Gospel presentation repeatedly and has studied what the Bible has to say about Jesus. We are very aware that the One who will convince J- of his need of the Savior, Jesus Christ, is the Lord Himself. Please pray that this will happen soon. Please pray for T & R as they continue to meet with J- and point him to Jesus.
We desperately long for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of these two individuals. We also long for the Lord to continue growing R, K, & C and T & R in their faith in Him. Please be in prayer for these precious friends.
Thanks friends.

Prayer update - Feb 20, 2013
Dear prayer partners,
Please join us in praying for salvation for the PB peoples and for a great movement to spread. Just in the last week, I heard national partners speaking of sharing the Gospel with those from several different people groups. From the Paycall, the Ruhjohn, the Lembox, the Ben people, the Trans people, and more. It was so exciting to hear how the Lord continues to embolden His believers to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who have not believed! Praise the Lord!
But please join us in praying that the Holy Spirit will go before us and penetrate hearts, taking blinds off the blinded, hardened hearts of our PB peoples. The Holy Spirit must go before us. Please join us as we and our nationals are praying for the Lord God to save our PB peoples. We cannot fulfill this task, only He can.
But for now, let me tell you an interesting story:
Mr. Alfred has been a Christ-follower for several years. Alfred and his wife felt the Lord leading them to move to our area of this country. They moved into a remote village and began working as farmers, as is the occupation for most others in their village. Their hearts desire was and is to see people become followers of Jesus Christ. They began sharing the Gospel and talking with neighbors about what the Lord had done in their own hearts. Over a period of a year or two, one family went from persecuting and publicly speaking out, very negatively, against Christians to slowly over time becoming open to Christians. Last Sunday, Mr. Alfred and his wife brought Mr. Ben and his wife (the family that publicly denounced Christians) to CHURCH. I noticed them as I walked in the church, the wife more noticeable, wearing a Muslim head scarf and the man, having a longer beard as some Muslim men have. During the service, Mr. Alfred shared how Mr. Ben and his wife were mean people but that God saved them and gave them a new heart and they are now Christ-followers. It was beautiful. The Gospel is beautiful. Christ takes our wretched, sinful hearts and gives us His pure, sinless beautiful standing before God. It is an unfair exchange - our nasty, sinful, wicked hearts for his spotless, sinless, beautiful heart. However that is EXACTLY what Jesus did on the Cross.
It is amazing, the PB team tries to reach people from all angles: house churches AND the traditional church. Here it is plainly seen, the Lord is using whomever and whatever has a heart to make Him known and to call others to repentance and belief upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
Please pray for these new believers, that they would continue following Christ. Please pray for those that disciple them, that they would be consistently following-up and discipling Mr. and Mrs. Ben.
Lastly, please pray for this village, that the Lord will continue to call out people to believe upon His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for Mr. and Mrs. Alfred, Mr. and Mrs. Ben, and another couple Mr. and Mrs. G as they continue to put their lamp on the stand for all to see, and as they call others to repent and believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
And may God get all the glory!

great read on "how much is left to do in the Great Commission"
Here is a great article on what is left to do in the Great Commission. Take a minute and read it. And then pray for the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the field. And be a "radical, sacrificial goer, or a radical, sacrficial sender."
Here is a blurp from the article:
http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/how-much-is-left-to-do-in-the-great-commission
Here is a blurp from the article:
"But if God would grant the passion and courage and wisdom, the remaining task is neither vague, nor enormous, nor unattainable. Would you join me in obeying Matthew 9:38, “Pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest”?
And then be a radical, sacrificial goer, or a radical, sacrificial sender. Jesus has all authority to accomplish this. He promises to be with us to the end of the age as we mobilize for this. What a thrilling prospect! What a cause to live for! What a holy ambition.

the persecuted
Dear prayer partners,
Please pray for a people group not too far from us that the Lord is working among right now. That people has seen a few hundred people profess belief in Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord for how HE is moving in the hearts of peoples not too different from our PB peoples.
Not surprisingly, with this wonderful news of new brothers and sisters in Christ has come persecution from the local community (government, police, religious leaders, etc). PLEASE take time now to pray for these new brothers and sisters in Christ. Please pray that the Lord will strengthen the believers in their faith in Him. Please ask that the new believers will have boldness, love, and compassion to continue sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with those around them... even in the face of persecution. Pray that the gospel will spread like wild fire during this time and that LOTS of people will come to faith in Jesus Christ because of this!
Ultimately, let's praise the Father for His mercy and grace in drawing sinners to Himself. Praise Him that He is mighty and amazing to turn cold, hardened hearts into new creations. God is mighty to save!!
Pray for our PB peoples, that this would have happen here. That many of our own PB people will come to faith in Jesus Christ, whatever that may bring.
For His Glory,
the PB team

PR for this week
Dear prayer partners,
Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to ask you to pray specifically for an agricultural training that has started today and has drawn some 21 people from all over our PB peoples. Please pray for the Christ followers that eagerly await these trainings and look for opportunities to share the Hope that we have through Jesus Christ.
Please pray that The Lord will move ahead and penetrate the hearts and souls of those here at the training and lead His followers to those whom He is working in their hearts.

update
Hello prayer partners!
Here are a few names of people that we would love to have you join with us in bringing before the Father:
* Mr. Dar - please pray for Mr. Dar as months ago he said he wanted to be a follower of Jesus but since then he has been difficult to follow-up with in discipleship. Please pray for those that are trying to meet with Mr. Dar and continue teaching him about Jesus and His teachings.
* The 2 local partner training - This training ended today. The last information I received was from this a.m. From this event, the 2 partners trained 6 college students about God's heart for all peoples, evangelism methods, being obedient to the Scriptures, and discipling new believers. The very FIRST day one of the trainees (who is from a known Christian people group in another part of the country) stated that she had never truly followed Jesus for herself... she was riding on traditions from her parents beliefs. That very day, she became a follower of Jesus and was baptized. Two other attendees confessed that they had never been baptized and desired to follow Jesus' teaching about baptism and they also were baptized the first day of training. Since that time, two of the six attendees have shared with their families (who are supposedly Christians) of their new desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others and their new beliefs about Jesus, salvation, baptism, and evangelism and have met great difficulty. Please pray for these two young ladies (D & L). Please pray that through this training, these trainees will continue their passion for the Lord and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those around them. Praying that the Lord will save many and all this for His Glory!
* The training for several of our national partners was said to be very good. Please continue to pray for our local partners that they will continue to boldly share the Gospel with others and be faithful to follow-up those they have shared with.
Please pray that the Holy Spirit will move in mighty ways here in PB land. Without the Holy Spirit's movement, our Gospel presentation going forth are just words. We need God to do a mighty work here. Please pray that He will draw TONS of people to Himself, and that as we open our mouths to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is going forth convicting hearts.
Thank you friends for your prayers. We need your prayers and appreciate them so much!
With love,
PB team

update
Greetings from PB land,
The PB team prays that you had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ AND a happy New Year's day! I wanted to update you with some requests for the next month and months to come.
1) Two local partners have created a "m" trip that will be a week long trip for 6 local college students. This "m" trip will happen around the first week of February with a week long training the week prior. This "m" trip will focus on our Ruhjohn people group. PLEASE take time now and over this month to pray for the local partners logistically planning for this trip. Please pray for this trip as these 6 students will be tasked with sharing the gospel each day for 7 days. Please pray that the Lord will go before this group, preparing hearts, giving dreams and visions to the Ruhjohn people that this group will encounter. Pray that the Lord will breakthrough into this people group and use this time as a life-changing time for the Rujohn people and this group that is being sent out.
2) Please pray for some of our national/local partners as they go to a training beginning on the 14th. Please pray that the Lord will continue to grow their hearts and give them guidance as they seek to be used by God among the PB people groups.
3) Please pray for Mr. Market, a seller at a local market. He is from the Ben people group. He believed just 2 months ago. He continues to be followed-up by a local partner. Please pray for Mr. Market that the Lord will grow his faith, that the Lord will raise Mr. Market up to share the gospel to his Ben people. A people, whom the ONLY believer we know is Mr. Market himself. Please pray for the partner that is discipling him that they will continue to meet with Mr. Market.
There are many exciting plans made to reach out to the PB peoples over 2013. Please join us in praying the Lord's guidance. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will go before us and open hearts to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you, partner in the Gospel, for praying for the PB peoples and our PB team.
All for God's glory,
the PB team
