Legally marrying

Submited By: Branson, Paul & Sharyn

We hosted a two-day marriage conference and over 100 people attended. One of the teachings was about the importance of legally marrying. In this culture, it is very common to live together and not marry, for decades and even for life. After attending the conference, one couple who has been together for over 20 years […]

Friendly and trustworthy

Submited By: Bryant, Rea & Sandy

We are focused on showing ourselves to be friendly and trustworthy. More and more, people greet us with a smile and open demeanour rather than suspicion. We are becoming familiar faces, not just strangers in the neighbourhood. We pray that each interaction will reflect Jesus and, in His time, we will be able to share […]

Outreaches

The Lord is at work, forming our tiny group (10 baptized) into a unified and Bible-based assembly. Recently we started a singing class that seems to be catching on. Please pray as we hope to add other outreaches such as a cooking class, English, after-school help, and any other community service that we can faithfully […]

They have been asked to return

Submited By: Branson, Paul & Sharyn

The men have started to do street evangelism on Wednesday evenings. They all play instruments so they did some praise and worship then gave a message. Doors were all closed at the houses in the area but as they heard the music and preaching, doors began to open. They have been asked to return to […]

In-person classes

Submited By: Branson, Paul & Sharyn

Pray for schools to begin with in-person classes and remain open all school year. Many are saying that if school returns to virtual, their children will not attend because they cannot afford computers or internet, or cannot leave kids alone to learn while they work. […]

They want to keep it small

Submited By: Branson, Paul & Sharyn

Paul and a brother began a new evangelistic ministry. They are having a weekly meeting that is not a church service. The goal is to reach out to people who do not attend any church at all and have a lot of questions about God, the church, and faith. Two people came out this week […]

Getting more creative

Submited By: Branson, Paul & Sharyn

Evangelism is changing as our movement, gatherings, and time outside the house is restricted. However, God is mightier. Paul and other people are getting more creative in how to share the Gospel in small groups or one-on-one. We are also doing some evangelism online. We pray that restrictions will be eased soon. […]
