You are My friends if you do what I command you.” (John 15: 13-14, NASB) Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of IMB’s prayer office, giving thanks with you for friends who share Jesus with their friends. Last November when a group of visiting believers came to a remote Futa Toro Fulani village of West Africa, a man there received Christ. In January the group returned, and the man shared that he had led nine members of his family to Christ. But this man has also suffered much persecution from family members and the community. He no longer has work as a tailor, because everyone in the community has shunned him. Now he gathers what firewood he can find in the bush to sell to support his large family. The horse he used with a delivery cart was taken away by another family member, but he is thankful that he still has his cart and a small donkey. Despite these hardships, he will not turn back from following Jesus. Praise God that he is quick to say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” After hearing the Gospel several times, Linh* started reading the New Testament that had been given to her, and then she asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. Next Linh shared with her friend Nhi*, who also made a commitment to faith. The two of them shared with another friend, Cong*, and now there are three new believers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As you have prayed for the Gospel to go out and for more to hear, God has answered. * Please pray that Linh, Nhi and Cong will continue to share with their friends and that the Bible study they have started will continue and eventually become a new church start. * Intercede for this Futa Toro Fulani man that he will remain faithful in the face of hardship. * Ask God to give you courage to speak His name to your friends, no matter the cost.
