Acts 12 tells of evil and hard times but concludes: “But the word of God grew and multiplied.” (Acts 12:24)

Amid the plethora of challenges, we praise God for the completion and release of the KING of GLORY movie in the Pulaar language. Pray that its powerful story and message will spread rapidly and be clearly understood by this nomadic and often despised people group found in 18 African nations. Pulaars love their language. Our Pulaar narrator shared with us three realities that attracted him to the gospel: 1.] that he and his people were despised by others of their religion, 2.] that Christians showed them love and compassion, and 3.] that he was given a New Testament in Pulaar. He fell in love with the Word of God, grasped the gospel, and was redeemed!

God continues to multiply the reach of ROCK’s resources via broadcasts, podcasts, print, and social media. To illustrate, in January 2024, our “KING of GLORY the Movie” YouTube Channel (with the film in 58 languages) had more than 737,000 views for an average of 74 minutes per click. Here are two of the many comments:

• In German: “Wow! ❤ Thank you very much. Made the Bible 100% understandable for me.” – Helene
• In Spanish: “Excellent explanation. I have known the gospel for years, but I learned new things.” – Rosa

One of many countries on our hearts is Haiti, where a brother with whom we are connected regularly shows the KING of GLORY movie in Haitian Creole in many places. A few days ago, he wrote a page of stories, telling of some of the challenges they face. He began: “If only everyone could stay home, they would. Once you step outside – the situation is scary, to say the least. And it is getting worse and worse! The conditions affect every area of life. People are insecure in every respect! Families are being split… Please pray for us!” Yet the word of God is at work as needy believers reach out to needy souls around them. At the believers’ request, we plan to soon have 4000 Haitian Creole and 4000 French KoG picture books shipped to Haiti. The Bread of Life!

Thank you for your continued part in the New Hope Girls’ School in Tanzania. Pray that leadership will be able to identify new sustainability projects. We are excited that the chicken project is not only providing food and new skillsets for the girls but is also generating some income. Pray too for funds to build teachers’ housing.
