I went into one of the classes in the school I visited to share the Word of God with the eleventh-grade class. Mariama was one of them. Being a Muslim, she has been taught that Jesus is simply Mary's son, but not the Messiah. She however listened attentively as I explained who Jesus is and what he did for us through his crucifixion and resurrection. Her eyes were opened, she believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah and accepted him into her life. Pray for her steady growth and effective witness.

During the camp, we ministered to a girl who was having constant blackouts. We prayed for her, but I later had personal time praying and listening to her. She shared her bitterness with someone who had hurt her. She felt betrayed, and devalued, and felt she had lost her honor. During prayer time, she opened up about these struggles and agreed to pray for forgiveness. Weeks later, I met with her father who shared the testimony that the girl was no longer having blackouts and was living her life normally. We bless the name of the Lord for her deliverance.
