ROCK Resources
Just one month into 2019, we have been blessed to see God work in so many ways. Here’s a sampling from January: A hospital team in Togo, West Africa, which uses ROCK’s resources, writes of their desire to translate them into some of the 8 local languages. A team of evangelists in Haiti has been showing a field-test version of the KING of GLORY movie in Creole to reach remote mountain villages. One of the team-members wrote: “I’ve never seen a response like this! We showed the Jesus film in some places before and it was good. But now they are seeing the gospel from Genesis to Revelation. All we’ve been trying to communicate is wrapped up in this film!” In Kyrgyzstan, the movie was shown twice on a major TV network. Also, KING of GLORY will be released in both Creole and Malayalam this month. And 20,000 copies of a new 16-language KoG DVD are scheduled to be replicated and sent around the world. Thank you for your prayers and part in what God is doing.
ROCKids
Thank you too for your share in ROCK projects in Niger, Senegal, and Tanzania. Please continue to pray for the completion of the construction of the Tanzania girls’ school. The goal is to open in January 2020. Many of the stories we receive have to do with the daily relational opportunities. A ROCK-connected couple in Niger recently wrote: “Tech classes continue…. We continue to use the King of Glory movie in many contexts…. Sometimes there are frustrations. A couple months ago R. visited a family whose little boy had a broken leg. They showed her an X-ray of his misaligned broken bones. Sadly, they had opted to use traditional medicine wrapping his leg with a small bamboo splint. R. asked them several times to please allow her to take him to the hospital for a proper cast which we would pay for. They refused possibly out of fear of the local witch doctor. So now the little boy walks with a limp and now they are willing for him to be taken to a real doctor. This month we will be trying to find out if he can be helped. We know that God can use even this frustrating situation for good.”
