Thankful to God for Answering Our Prayers

January 30, 2010 - Posted by admin

I thank God for your prayers, encouragement, sound advice, and tangible support that ensures this mission succeeds in God’s eyes.  

Oscar, for whom you prayed last month, is now a Christian!  Oscar is attending the Saturday morning Bible Study in my apartment.  He stayed after this past Saturday to get his specific questions answered (he was the only non-believer present that day).  After two hours, his questions ended.  We went through core Christian beliefs, which he believed were all true; however, Oscar would not step in faith toward Christ.  He wanted to think more, which I said was a good idea, as God only wants people to come to Him who are truly willing.  I asked Oscar to call me when he did accept Christ this week.  He called the next Monday, PTL! 

  • Pray for recent converts to Christianity.  Pray that they are established well and diligently seek God’s face. 
  • Pray for Yerri, as work has taken him away from meeting with us regularly.  For a new Christian and one under persecution, our common enemy can use this time to make him depressed or discouraged.  Pray that he prioritizes his time to be fed and grow in Christ.
  • Pray for God’s mercy upon Northern Nigeria, where our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ are dying and being displaced.
  • Pray that this mission really meets the needs of those God intends: that nothing I or anyone else does hinder God’s purposes. 
  • Pray for the staff and school children at Rabiconic Primary & Junior Secondary School; that many would come to know, believe and walk with God through Jesus His Son.
  • Pray for Pastor Amos, whose burden is so great in many ways.
  • Pray that I keep my eyes on Jesus as I go through my first hospital experience (PTL parts haven’t broken down sooner) so others can not only see Jesus in me, but that some would come to know the Lord. I head to Accra this week for a minor surgery to remove a small mass in my neck.

God Blessing You,

Joe
