ROCK Resources:
While God is not impressed with stats (but with “hearts fully committed to Him” 2 Chron. 16:9), statistics can remind us that the same Lord who multiplied the 5 loaves and 2 fish is at work in lives around the world in ways we cannot imagine. Having said that, our hearts are encouraged to notice that, in the month of October, the KING of GLORY movie has had about half a million views on YouTube – in the Spanish language alone! Pray for the Spirit’s deep and wide working in hearts and Spanish-speaking communities around the world as they contemplate the big picture of the gospel. We are blessed to read daily heart-thrilling comments from this segment of our worldwide audience. Also please keep praying for Afghan refugees who are receiving the KoG business cards that lead them to watch the movie in their heart language.
ROCKids: Both Niger and Senegal had recent visits from ROCK board members:
Niger: Nate writes: Since the Youth Development Center’s opening in 2015, the facility has been used for activities such as kids’ clubs and camps, youth athletic training programs, art and music classes, literacy programs, flood-refugee housing, Bible training, computer classes, a local church facility, printing ministry, and more. The printing press has become a hub of blessing for mission efforts across the country with resources being printed in most of the major languages in Niger. This is an answer to a prayer we have prayed for years, “that the youth center would impact the far reaches of the nation.” We rejoice in God building His church in this neighborhood and beyond.
Senegal: Paul & Carol write: Our recent visit reminded us of the great spiritual blindness – and of the great privilege to broadcast God’s word of hope via radio in this land since November 1992. We were thankful to spend quality time with the believers and to equip some with media resources to use in the wide variety of ministry opportunities the Lord is giving them, and to hear stories of how they see Him at work in lives.
Tanzania: This request comes from those overseeing the construction and establishment of the Secondary School for Girls: Pray the Lord will guide us as we continue to raise awareness about the need for the school and that He would call individuals, churches, and other groups to partner with this school even now.
