ROCK Resources
As our worldwide partners continue to translate and produce ROCK’s audio, video, and print resources into new languages, we thank God for ministry partners already using these tools in 60+ languages. Even “completed” resources can bring new production demands. Recently, an international media ministry asked us to provide KING of GLORY for their platform in 70-social-media-friendly-scenes – in 3 of the completed languages. This meant producing 210 more videos – to their specs. All for the sake of the gospel! God is at work through social media—often in surprising ways. For example, over the past 2½ months a popular secular video game named “King of Glory” has unwittingly led 28,000 people to click on one particular KING of GLORY video on YouTube. Some of these unintentional visitors have left comments on how it touched them. “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me.” (Isaiah 65:1) Please pray for ROCK’s old and new-language projects – and that multitudes would be reached through them.

“Slowly, slowly you catch the monkey in the forest,” says an African proverb. Over the past 6 years, prayerful planning and incremental construction has been taking place on the island of Ukerewe on Lake Victoria in Tanzania to fulfill a vision on the part of local believers to open the New Hope Secondary School for Girls. Amid many challenges, this project has been moving forward, slowly, slowly – in God’s time and way! The physics and chemistry labs are the last two government-required buildings before the first class of girls can be welcomed. Here are 4 prayer requests just in from one of the school’s visionaries: • Pray that God would provide all we need to complete the science labs in His perfect timing. We praise Him that we are finished with Phase 1 of two labs and pray that we will be able to quickly start Phase 2. • Pray for the future headmistress of the school, that she will be a woman of integrity, above reproach, gracious and kind. • Pray for wisdom in the hiring process. • Pray that the Lord would continue to call people to support and partner with this school.
