Due to the confines of space on a page and the scope of the global ministry, it can be hard to make room for a sampling of daily feedback received via email & social media. But here are 4 short stories from this past week:

• “Two days ago, the Taliban arrested 3 believers who were on their way to prayer meeting. We believe these men are now being tortured to force them to recant their faith. Probably if they refuse, they will be martyred. Pray. I believe they came to Christ by gospel packages we threw across the river. KoG was in it.” (See www.rockintl.org/rock-monthly-updates/october-2020) — From a mission worker near the Afghan border
• “We were told wrong stories up to now!”
  — A Hazaras Afghan Mullah who escaped from Afghanistan to Pakistan, watched the KoG movie in Dari with some relatives. During the movie he was silent, but afterwards, he shook his head and made the above confession.

• “Something wonderful happened to me! I accepted Isa Al-Masih (Jesus the Messiah) into my life.”
  — An Iranian man after he had watched the full King of Glory movie in Farsi (and then slowly watched it again).

• “Chad’s National TV broadcasted KING of GLORY on December 24th and 25th. On January 29^th, the Chadian Arabic KoG Dedication Ceremony took place in the largest evangelical church of N’Djamena. Choirs from several churches celebrated and worshiped the King of Glory. We promoted the KoG movie, book, and coloring book as an evangelization, discipleship, and children ministry tool. Personalized KoG USB keys are being distributed. In recent weeks, training has been provided in 7 different churches. In February we plan to take the training to the East of Chad (900 km from N’Djamena). Talks will also take place with mission leaders reaching out to UPGs (Unreached People Groups) on how to use the Chadian Arabic KoG as a primary tool.”

Wish we had space to tell more stories, but we rejoice that amid and through all the projects, God is at work in beautiful and powerful ways in people — from Senegal to Niger to Tanzania to South Africa to Bangladesh…

Flowing from last month’s report, we close with this update from our sister in Tanzania: “We praise God for the 23 schoolgirls that have joined Tumaini Jipya (New Hope) Secondary School, and we expect two others to join by the end of this week. The girls have been so happy to be here. It has been such a joy to be with them, the schoolteachers, and staff. This week we have two seamstresses on site sewing school uniforms – which the girls have been delighted to receive. Currently, one of the teachers is serving as the school matron, but we will have interviews for the matron position later this week. Pray for the right person to fill that critical role.”
