We thank God for all who partner with us in this multi-language multi-media ministry to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Because of your prayers and gifts, the good news is going into the most unlikely of places. Last month, following 3½ years of opposition, the KING of GLORY movie was finally completed in Turkmen. Praise God! To give an idea the challenges, here’s an email excerpt from two years ago from the overseer of the project. “Please be in prayer about this. Opposition is incredible. Our guys there are currently under unofficial house arrest. All their Bibles were confiscated. They are looking at possibly 15 days in jail to begin with.” This same brother wrote, “It is increasingly difficult to operate in the traditional sense of missions. Doors may be more difficult to go through, but they are not welded shut. God is still being glorified, souls are still being saved, disciples are still being made and churches are still being born. God has given us an opportunity to seize the moment. We are storming the very gates of Hell; please join with us through your ministry of prayer to see the darkness of man’s religion shattered by the Light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Thank you too for your prayers and participation in projects in Senegal, Tanzania, and Niger. Last month, one of the Niger team members had a motorcycle accident the night before he and his family were scheduled to fly back to the country after a visit to the USA. He has since undergone surgery and the family plans to return later this month. Also in Niger a new believer was baptized, and the on-demand printing press arrived and has been set up in the Youth Development center. This will be used to produce materials in Zarma and other languages. Good things are also happening in the expanding soccer ministry, giving youth exposure to God’s love and truth. “It has been encouraging to us to see their excitement about God’s word.”
