Encouraged by the word of their testimonies....

One sister came to know the Lord when her brother was healed after a believer prayed for him. He studied and became a pastor, but after 3 years he died. The village tried to convince her and her family to leave the faith, but they remained faithful and many have come to know our Father though them.

One brother owned his own business, but after seeing corruption and injustice, he took up arms with guerrilla warriors seeking to change the nation. After 10 years of living in the jungle, he was told about JC and said, "I cannot change this nation with guns, but JC can change it." He is now a minister to those he  faught along aside and the villages they travel through.

One brother was the only believer in his family, but when he prayed for healing for his mother, she was healed and his whole family believed.

One man felt unrest in his heart and was seeking peace when he heard about JC and believed. He now pastors 4 churches.

There are many more stories I would love to share, but they are sensitive and out of respect for their safety should only be shared in person to protect them.

Quick note on SEA

Time here has been wonderful. We arrived safely and slept well. The next day we rode 6hrs on the bus down a very bumpy road to the town where we would be teaching our friends. We taught storying and training methods for around 14 hrs over the next three days to 60 people. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, encouragement, and challenge. They sent us off with ornate flowers and thanksgiving. I will miss them. They have such a joy to learn about Him and to share Him with others. They have such a desire to see the KG spread to ask peoples. It has challenged and encouraged me greatly. This has been an amazing trip that will hopefully lead to better and even more productive trips in the future.
Pr for continue growth and discipleship here in SEA. The Truth is spreading, but spiritual growth and maturity needs to develop now. Pr for workers that are called to do discipleship to be found and empowered by the HS.
Thank you for your support and prayers. I pr you may share in my joy and encouragement by the word of their testimonies. I will try to post some notes from our friends here when I get back home.

SEA

It is amazing how the Father opens doors, and today I am heading to SEA. I am super excited to go and see what all he is doing there, and to learn from our friends there. They have invited us to come and teach them, so I asked for pr that we would teach with wisdom and they would hear with discernment. Pr for his HS to move with power in them so they may truly understand and teach others.
I also ask for pr for travel mercies as well. We will be there for a short time, so pr that we will have the energy and joy to work as worthy representative of JC. Thank you.
