The new believers seem to be getting more and more verbal persecutions and pushback from the community and their families. My visits with three of the ladies yesterday felt discouraging and like they are withdrawing! Pray for all of their protection, and that the joy of the Lord would be their strength and that the Holy Spirit would fill them with wisdom in all of their responses and choices and decisions! Pray for wisdom and strength for us as well! So far the men have expressed some of the challenges they’re facing, but have still been faithful in coming for study, etc. Pray especially for the main shepherd leader and his family! May God build his church here and make it strong and help it grow!
