This update just came in from the team in Niger: “The Youth Development Center has had a lot of excitement over the last months. New believers have been coming to the center for Bible study and encouragement for some time but have now started meeting there on Sundays as the early formation of a church. They have gone out several times into the community for evangelism and talked with many neighbors, boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus. We were able to get a piano for the music center as music classes continue. The soccer team has outgrown the center’s courtyard they play in. We are working to prepare a regulation-size field for them. We were also able to finish the automotive shop and the tech school should start back in the next few weeks. We pray for open hearts and minds as well as open doors to see lives transformed here by the gospel.” Thank you too for your continued prayers for all that is needed to complete the buildings for the New Hope Secondary School in Tanzania. We are thrilled that local partners there were able to get funding for a deep well and that the government has agreed to subsidize the running of pipes. In Senegal, a Senegalese couple with three young boys are taking a step of faith this month by moving from Dakar to a village in the north with the vision to do youth and media ministry in fellowship with the church in Saint Louis and with ROCK International.

Last month KING of GLORY’s 32nd and 33rd languages were released, Russian and Iraqi Arabic. We receive comments of all kinds. A YouTube viewer in Russia wrote, “There was no king of glory.” And in Afghanistan, “The movie was amazing.” From Iraq, “Respect the majority [religion] and don’t go astray [with] fictional writings.” And in Indonesia, “It’s a very beautiful video. You make me realize how great God is. Thanks!” Keep praying for the dozens of ongoing projects and productions with ROCK’s multi-language multi-media tools.
