prayer update

The anti-Christian groups continue opposition in John's area. But the work is growing in spite of their efforts. John*, the doctor and another leader (Dan*) are doing well. They are penetrating some new villages. The doctor is evangelizing his home village which is 7 kms away from where he practices medicine. People there are very interested in the gospel.

In the midst of the persecution, John baptized 23 new believers. There were 60 baptisms reported in this area by four different church planters during the last ten days. More believers are ready for baptism, but because of flooding (not because of persecution), they had to postpone.

Thank you for praying, continue to pray for boldness in the face of opposition.

Mr.T,

This story of real people and situations has affected me much in recent days. I've written about it, shared it in personal conversation, and have prayed about it.

Pass on to "John" and the others that they ARE being remembered and thank you for keeping us posted.

I will pray and pass this on. You have some real prayer partners in prison. They will be glad to lift this up. One of our men in particular is always asking for prayer for the missionaries. It is good to give him specifics to pray about. Blessings.
