Compassion Ministry is designed to support and encourage disabled persons and their family members, while also sharing the Good News. Community Transformation Training (CTT) materials are now being written and translated for the Armenian people. After the health lesson is presented, chronological Bible storying will be used to segue into the Gospel. National believers will be trained not only to teach necessary health skills, but also to share the Gospel effectively. About 30 men and women in a new area of Jammu, India, are being trained, and through them, dozens have heard the Gospel. This particular area has significant spiritual oppression with more idols and temples than usual.  The Songhai Team of West Africa conducted their first-ever discipleship training for female believers. They held discipleship and teaching for mature male believers five times over the past year, but never for the women. Like the men, these women came to the capital city for an intense time of teaching, while also experiencing much-needed fellowship and community with other believers.  Silas* the car salesman, Sonya* the translator, and Genya* the apartment remodeler are believers living in the southern Siberian Altai Mountains. They are part of a people group scattered over an area about the size of Texas, and they are part of a younger generation that is moving to these cities where they can find a future. Recently an experienced church-planting couple was appointed to help train people just like these three to tell Bible stories, start house groups, and reach this scattered people group, transitioning in a world that changes every day.  * Please pray for many house churches to be started in southern Siberia.  * Pray that this time of teaching will be a major milestone in the growth of these Songhai women. * Ask God to inspire trainers as they develop lesson plans for CTT training in Armenia and for Bible studies in India.
