Fri 1. DYN - Cuba

I received a call for help from sister Tania. She was deep in all kinds of idolatry. I went to her house immediately to minister deliverance and destroy the altars of idolatry that had destroyed her life. That same day she confessed her faith in God, acknowledged her sins, and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. God was just waiting for her to take a step of faith to bring her into his presence because days later she passed away. Thank God for extending his mercies toward her.

Sat 2. CAGS – Cuba

Every day of the week, we meet in small groups at our brothers' homes and hold Sunday services each week in the rented premises.

In the past quarter, we welcomed 12 new believers and baptized seven.

He and his wife are candidates for baptism.

Family Baptist Church has grown from meeting in a single house to celebrate her Sunday school, to meeting in two houses. We have intentionally begun to work with the children in the community.

Wed 6. Misanelle – Congo Brazzaville

AK’s testimony: Following the loss of my banking job and my inability to take care of my family, I took to alcohol thinking this would solve my problem. I lost control of my life and became more and more despondent. I returned home one night from a drinking spree and the next day, a small group of people who had taken me home in distress the previous night while drunk, came to visit me. Through them, I discovered God's love and mercy. I repented of my sins, received Christ’s pardon, and was baptized. Through God’s grace, I found another job and I have been living happily with my family free of alcohol. I thank God for his mercies.

Thu 7. Barnabas - Zambia

I have been given the responsibility to chair the Missions Department of our Church. The first step I took is to challenge members to go on evangelistic outreach every 2nd Saturday of the month throughout 2024. The January outreach led to the salvation of one soul. Thank God for this single soul over whom there is rejoicing in heaven. Pray for more fruit in our future outreaches.

The family is thanking God for the safe arrival of a baby boy, Caleb, in December. Testimony: Zimro came from a family of idol worshipers. They offer regular sacrifices to their idol.

Thu 14. Eugenio & Victorina – Mozambique

I shared the Gospel with Amade when I served in Nampula from 2017-2019 but he never gave his life to Christ. Being a die-hard Muslim at the time, he was very resistant. But today, he thanks the Lord for saving him. His confession: When you used to tell me about Jesus, I usually felt you were just wasting your time and that it was you who was lost. But today, I know I was totally lost but thank Jesus for finding and saving me. By His grace, I am no longer the person I used to be. Praise the Lord.

Sat 16. Victor & Rehab – Cote d’Ivoire

The love of one of the young men we are mentoring for the Lord is growing day by day. He just got a new job and in gratitude to the Lord, decided to offer his first salary wholly for God's work not minding his personal needs. We even urged him to keep some of it, but he refused saying it was his commitment to God. Pray for the Lord’s blessing upon him. Please pray also for peace and comfort for my family. Our younger brother went to work in good health in the morning but died during the night. His death really upset me, but we thank God because he was a believer.

Victor is one of the elders in the village. His son who is addicted to alcohol messes around with the women in the village. As a result, Victor’s family has lost total respect in the village.

We thank the Lord for continuing to draw many people to Himself despite the terrible persecution we continue to face. The Lord intervened in the lives of two girls and restored their hope and confidence after receiving the Lord as their Savior. They both had been contemplating suicide.

Pray that the joy of the Lord will be their strength.

Organized Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) in Kubule and Khairang. The two programs ministered to 270 children.

He bore the pain of the cross for my sake. I also learned from the life of Timothy how to obey God. I commit my life to praising God and worshipping him." Thank God for 150 children who came to faith in Christ.

The authorities in Thawa Bhuta villages banned us from entering their village to share the good news of Jesus. For three months, we met every person who has authority over these villages and districts.
