ROCKids
We thank God for your prayers and eternal investments into ROCK projects. An initiative conceived and bathed in prayer for some years now is about to be launched. Lord willing, on August 29th, three couples (initially assisted by a fourth) with their young families will move to South Asia to invest their lives into one of the world’s most crowded nations. The plan is to spend the first two years learning language and culture, building relationships, and laying foundations for projects God is putting into their hearts to do to bless a people who, through the gospel, are “loved with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:23). Pray on (Matthew 9:36-38)!

Meanwhile in Tanzania, as funds come in, work continues with the prayerful goal to open next year the New Hope Secondary School for Girls. In Niger, people are being blessed daily through the Youth Development Center and printing ministry. In Senegal, believers in town and villages are showing and sharing God’s love and truth through projects involving sports, education, music, etc. – and across the nation, Senegalese continue to be touched and transformed through the Yoonu Njub (Wolof: Way of Righteousness) radio broadcasts, which the son of Yoonu Njub’s voice is now making available on YouTube, TikTok, and other social media platforms.

To follow up on last month’s update, the Premiere for the Khmer KING of GLORY movie in Phnom Penh (Watch: www.shorturl.at/CJPRU) went wonderfully with loads of excited comments from the audience. Here are three:

  • “God will greatly use this movie in Cambodia.” (Campus ministry worker)
  • “It explains the gospel in a logical way which is needed, especially for the new generation.” (NGO founder)
  • “Now I have a better understanding of what my son preaches….” (Unbelieving father of a Christian worker)

To the glory of the One who said, “My Father is working until now, and I am working” (John 5:17), we close with a few stats from the KING of GLORY YouTube channel. During the 31 days of July, a record high of 678,000 people watched the movie in 50 languages for an average of 68 minutes per click for a total view time of 789,000 hours. That’s 90 years of nonstop watch time in a single month. Pray for multiplied, lasting fruit.
