Nigeria: A Muslim student gave her life to Christ during one of our meetings. She has desire a to know the Lord more. She shows great excitement about her decision. Her fear is about what could happen to her if her parents or family knew of her new faith. We encouraged and advised her not to disclose her new faith to the family yet. She also has some fears on how to cope in the school because she has been an active participant in the school’s Koranic recitation. We advise her to live her faith quietly and move     gradually. She is presently doing growing in the Lord. Thank God for her response to faith in the midst of an environment of persecution.  Pray for wisdom for those following her up and for her as she seeks to live for Christ in a violent environment.

Pakistan: Our Worldlink Partners were able to reach children by establishing Bible clubs in those areas where the children do not have a church or any opportunity to learn the Word of God. We praise and thank God that our volunteers are doing this work with great zeal and commitment. New Bible Club have been started in several villages in hopes that many children will be blessed by this ministry.
