The demons also believe—and they shudder.” (James 2:19, HCSB) Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of IMB’s prayer office, asking you to pray for new believers. Nearly 100 Miao from the Land of Fire have come to Christ this year. One of the biggest challenges has been for these new believers to stop venerating demons. Their whole lives, they have lived in fear of evil spirits, believing that every sickness and malady is a result of demonic oppression, and they have followed a complicated system of rituals to appease those spirits. In August, several of these new believers said that they could see no way to stop appeasing spirits, as their families would expect them to perform the rituals. But then one of the believers dreamed that she saw a demon. In the dream, God told her, “Don’t be afraid. I have come to save you from the demons.” Then, to the evil spirit, He said, “Go!” and it disappeared. She felt such peace, and felt His love so deeply, that the next morning, she told all the new believers about her dream and said that God is more powerful than all the demons. As a result, they cut the amulets off of their children and have chosen to worship God alone.  There are two men in Dakar, Senegal who need our prayers. Mike* is a tall guard who first heard the gospel a few months ago and continues to learn more and more about Jesus, but he has not yet been obedient to follow Jesus. Larry* is a new believer of a few months who also continues to study God’s Word daily. He has not been obedient to express his faith in Jesus through baptism.  * Please pray that both of these men, and others in Dakar like them, will surrender in obedience to God’s direction.  * Intercede for these new believers in East Asia that they will step forward in baptism, be completely free from demonic influence, and grow in their faith.  * Ask God to lead you out of fear and into unwavering obedience. *names changed
