The Bambara Team of Mali visited 10 new villages. In some of these villages, the people showed no interest in the stories told them. In others, they didn’t even want to listen. One man told the team bluntly that the villagers did not need to know anything about what they wanted to share. The team shook the dust from their feet and left that village. In another, the chief said that it would be best if they did not come there, because it would cause dissension in the village. But in three villages, people came to meet the team immediately. The people said that they had heard of the Way many years ago, but could not decide what to do. Since then, they had decided to follow “the Jesus Road” but had no one to tell them how. Five people in three different villages gave their lives to the only One who can save.  A woman in the plains of Bihar, India, heard the Good News for the first time, believed the Truth, and cast aside a necklace given to her by a local witch doctor. She gave up the protection couched in fear and lies, for the freedom Jesus provides. While the church rejoices, her village has persecuted her, at times even refusing to allow her to drink from the well.  Thirteen Miao people of East Asia have come to salvation in the past few weeks. As they move from infancy to spiritual maturity, it is important that their roots grow deep in the Word so that they will bear much fruit. They need courage to longer fear or venerate evil spirits. * Please pray that godly leaders will develop from these new Miao believers. * Intercede for believers in India who face persecution for their faith. * Give praise to the Lord for these five in Mali who now follow “the Jesus Road.”
