Believers in East Asia are meeting weekly with commercially exploited women who are currently trapped within the rampant sex industry to share God’s love and truth. Hundreds more have received Good News materials and are waiting for someone to come and tell them more about this message.  Simon* of “Birmingham” has been a key Wassulu brother in Christ in his African village. He gave in to sin through the enticement of alcohol, and you have prayed for him and the church in “Birmingham.” Simon was doing much better at the end of last year after agreeing to a pastoral accountability partner in a neighboring village. Sadly, he has fallen back into the pattern of drinking, which has further damaged and discouraged the group of believers in that neighboring village. Now two groups have been wounded by his behavior and Simon’s family, as well as his witness in the Wassulu church, are being destroyed. The TA people of North Brazil are inundated with drugs, alcohol and crime, and the TRE are isolated and very poor. L’s mother is a TA descendant, so he has legal access to help these unreached people. Second Baptist Church in Brazil is about to embrace some new areas of outreach including unreached people groups (UPGS) in close proximity to them.  * Please pray for L and M who may lead the challenge to embrace the TA and the TRE peoples. * Intercede for Simon that he will break the grip of alcohol and be restored in a right relationship with his Lord and his family in Christ.  * Pray for softened hearts and prepared ears to receive the Gospel, for bold witnesses from the community to step up to speak salvation to every red-light shop in East Asia.
