Thank you for your prayerful and sacrificial part in what God is doing worldwide. What a month brings! Many stories could be told from a dozen lands where new language projects are being initiated. This month we received photos and videos from believers on the border of Afghanistan who are copying the KING of GLORY movie (in Dari and Pashto) on SD cards, putting them in match boxes with some pebbles and throwing them across the river to Afghan shepherds and others. A worker to that region writes: “The King of Glory movie is creating excitement and questions. It was shown in 11 homes near the Afghani border. It was well received and followed by questions and redemptive conversations. One Afghani trusted Christ.”

As they were watching KoG in another home, the area Imam walked in. He was furious and commanded them to shut it off and reject it. The homeowner replied, “You expect us to spit on our culture and shame our hospitality?” The Imam left. The next day, our men went to visit him. They gave him a Swiss army knife and a flashlight as tokens of their friendship. He was amazed by their genuineness and invited them in for tea. As they were leaving, he accepted a King of Glory SD card. He asked them to come visit again and stay with him, and to bring him a Bible in Arabic. Pray.

Funds were sent to Senegal recently to build a basketball court in a village where a follower-of-Jesus couple with their three children live among their Muslim neighbors. This will be great for connecting and building relationships for the sake of the gospel. Please pray too for a ROCK-connected couple (also with three children) and single girl who plan to return to flood-damaged Niger this month. And continue to hold before the Lord the needs and challenges in the construction of the New Hope Secondary School to see it, in God’s perfect time, completed and opened on the island in Lake Victoria for at-risk girls.
