Outside, my husband’s pastoral students boldly shared the Gospel. Over and over again they preached, they taught, they explained, they prayed. The result? Fifty-five people received physical help. More importantly, more than 60 mountain Basotho heard the story of Jesus and four became new believers. We couldn’t help thinking of each pastoral student, ‘That’s my boy!’” Two workers with the Mandinka of West Africa had just finished sharing a Bible story with a group of women when the man of the house asked, “Why didn’t you call before visiting?” They had been afraid that this man would tell them not to come, like he did the week before, but they could not voice that sentiment. Instead, they smiled and greeted him politely. As they left, two of the women followed saying, “Don’t call, just come!” As the workers drove away, they felt a little down, thinking that they might not be able to share weekly anymore. It has taken some time to get a group of women interested in hearing Bible stories, and now that the studies have begun, the leader of their compound is starting to push them out. Perhaps it is to exert control over his family. Perhaps he is afraid that the women will follow Christ.  * Please pray that the visits to the Mandinka women will continue and that the women will turn in faith to Jesus. * Give thanks for these student pastors and their bold commitment. * Intercede for your pastor and any who speak God’s Word to you through Bible studies or training.
