Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27, NKJV) Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of IMB’s prayer office, lifting up those who faithfully testify of God’s peace. Mrs. H loved learning English and committed to weekly meetings. She heard about the Creator through “Creation to Christ” and many other stories. Still, she kept searching for peace, but could not find it. Recently a worker received an e-mail with the news of her father’s death. It crushed the worker’s heart, knowing that her father had not said yes to the Most High God. Upon returning to the city, the worker immediately visited Mrs. H’s home. Again, Mrs. H wanted to hear a story, hoping it would bring peace. The worker gently wiped the tears from Mrs. H’s eyes and said, “You don’t need a story. You need a Savior.” As the worker prayed for the Spirit to work in Mrs. H’s heart, there seemed to be an understanding of the words shared as never before.  Workers share, “We met Sandia* and Jay* at the walking track. They told us that they are Hindus of the Lohana Clan—South Asians of Kenya. After months of casual relationship building, we tried to make plans to meet together for a meal. There always seemed to be an obstacle. But after the Westgate Mall attack, we were invited for a meal at their home, along with a dozen of their family members. An opportunity came for us to share testimony and explain our hope in Christ. A couple who escaped from the mall were there and welcomed words of Truth and offers for prayer.”  * Please pray for this extended family to want to hear more and to desire the peace and hope that Christ offers.  * Ask the Holy Spirit to break through Mrs. H’s and her family members’ fear of abandoning ancestor worship and draw them to Jesus. * Speak words of peace and not discord to your loved ones today.
