If you would like to respond to our Worker in the Field as requested in the newsletter below, please contact the church office for assistance.
This past month went by very quick! September was full of lots great trips out to the bush and Ktown. It has been amazing to see the initiative, excitement, and motivation our national partners. They have been faithful to be a part of the Father is doing across this country. This past month we were given the privilege to proclaim the Good News many times to many people. This next month we will be following up, building realtionships, and asking for more fruitful conversations.
For this month’s newsletter I would like to do something a little different. I would like to give YOU the chance to follow up with us! Below is a list of people who have the Good News this past month and a little bit of their story. My challenge to you is to choose at least one person to pry for this month. You can choose a person who is around the same age or in the same stage of life as you or just the person who the Father lays on your heart.
The goal is to cover these specific people in pryer over the next month. All of them have expressed interest in the G0spel and are wanting to know more. Ask for understanding, providence, conviction, peace, open hearts, and ultimately salvation.
Also, I would love to hear who you choose to pry for. Just reply to this email with the name!
