I want to give thanks to the Lord for you all, and your steadfast prayer. Also, I want to mention two encouraging things that happened.

One huge blessing is that it seems one young lady has been truly converted. She now has totally pushed away from all of the errors of the Seventh Day Adventist cult she was caught up in before. She went from being a Hindu, to a kind of vaguely SDA christian that didn’t know anything, to now understanding and testifying to the gospel. She has rejected the old false teaching and seems to have a real joy about her. I’m encouraged to see what God has done in the last two months. She soaks in the preaching. Also, she was the one I gave the audio bible (she is illiterate). I have joyfully seen her with her head pressed down to the cd player speakers quietly listening to the bible so as not to disturb anyone. May the Lord finish his work in her as a no one in this world’s eyes, but a special someone to God. – Pray for the others being awakened but not yet in the kingdom.

The second thing that happened was one day a gentleman from the UK and his wife showed up unexpectedly at our meeting. They got lost in the neighborhood looking for a different church and ‘just happened’ to hear the singing from the street and attend with us. The man was overjoyed at the gospel preaching. I sat with him a few times afterward and have found him to be a real discerning and Christ-centered brother. He seems like a dear friend and Lord willing, I will go with him to preach in a conference he is holding for Christian workers starting tomorrow. I will preach three times. Pray for me. He has told me many of the workers attending lack the new birth.

Please pray for the door to God’s chosen specific villages to be opened. Pray for a co-laborer for me. Pray for protection from the enemy as two weeks ago I came under a week long attack in my mind that only left after prayer and fasting (it was a horrible experience). Pray for me and brother Sib as we will soon join up for two weeks of labor among the villages he is evangelizing and pastoring.

Belonging to the Lord,
John
