One of our strongest MBBs, Mike, has had so many troubles with his wife, who keeps going back-and-forth between Jesus and her all Islamic family. Currently, she is really struggling and even considering separation and divorce from Mike. Pray that the love of Jesus will overwhelm her so completely that the acceptance of her family will no longer have a pull on her. Pray for her and Mike and their six children to be able to have a strong home built on the solid foundation of Jesus!

PTL that one young man has been boldly sharing his faith and his changed life with his friends and neighbors! Pray for God’s protection for him and his family! PTL that he was used to bring another young man into God’s Kingdom! Pray for this to be the start of strong disciples who will make more disciples, who will make more disciples of Jesus!

PTL for God’s provision of a young new team to cover for our Home Assignment. It is an amazing answer to prayer! Even a month ago we were still so uncertain of IF or WHO God would provide for coverage while we’re away. Now we have a Pastor & family, 2 nurses and a Teacher and family! Pray for each one to abide deeply in Jesus, and to be blessed with much lasting fruit! Pray for team unity for this new team, and also joining with our whole greater AIC team in 3 O-land villages!

‘Roba’ is a young man with medical training who has worked on his breaks with us in our medical outreach. He is so smart & enthusiastic, and has such great potential!

Pray this also for so many others of this younger generation – to start a disciple making movement here in O land!

Our new team-mates, Don & Linda, relocated into the heart of our village – right next to the school where Don will be ministering.

May God’s provisions draw many O people to Jesus and start the people movement.

A new young couple (expecting their first baby in December) have joined our outreach team.

I have been meeting with a young BMB (Believer of Muslim background) who has been so encouraging in his grasp of the meaning of Scriptures, despite no formal education. Pray that He will be bold and winsome in his witness, and many others will also respond and receive God’s Gift of grace through Jesus!

Our hearts’ desire and prayer to God for the O is that they will be saved! We testify about the O that many of them are zealous for God – but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they do not know the righteousness of God (through Jesus), they seek to establish their own, and so they do not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ (the Messiah) is the fulfillment of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Pray that many O will submit to their need for God’s Gift of Salvation and Righteousness through Jesus the Messiah! (Paraphrased from Rom. 10:1-4)

After so many years of delays, cancellations and postponements, the Jesus film in O

Our O teammates are expecting a baby any day. Pray for safe labor and delivery and a strong healthy baby and Mama at the end. Support this couple with prayer for protection from all the schemes of our enemy and the powers of this dark world – Jake and Saidi have such effective and good outreach that some of the community are demanding they be stopped from sharing.

There seems to be a stronger hardness against Jesus right within our own village people and closest communities. They respond so differently from those coming from outside communities – perhaps they have been freshly warned by the religious leaders. Pray for God’s mercy and grace to be poured out, and to DRAW MANY to Jesus! Pray for more strong prayer supporters and faithful and intense prayers in Jesus name and authority, against those rulers and powers of this dark world that want to keep the people here in bondage and darkness!

Each of our team shares the gospel regularly. Pray that hard and resistant hearts would soften and be drawn by God to respond & receive Jesus as Lord and Savior- becoming strong disciples who would make more disciples…

Pray for me as I speak at the missionary conference and interact with our AIC missionary colleagues. Pray for wisdom and anointing from the Holy Spirit and for fresh vision, renewal and encouragement for all who are reaching out among the O, and in many other UPG‘s and challenging ministries all across Kenya.

Drought threatens again. Pray with us that God will provide for all the physical and spiritual needs of the people, and draw many to Jesus!

A key young man from S’s family, who we’ve been reaching out to for regular teaching, has big changes coming as he was selected for a county position and has gone for training and an uncertain assignment location following that. Pray that God will put people in his path who will inspire his continuing to seek truth and embrace Jesus as Lord and Savior. Continue to pray for Gail’s complete healing from Lupus (same family)- she’s doing great physically and spiritually right now.

Pray for so many O who have heard and are hearing God‘s word regularly – that their hearts may be pierced, drawn and convicted by the Holy Spirit, and they too would ask, “what must we do to be saved?“ Pray that many would respond to the Good News of God‘s grace through Jesus, rather than their attempts at pleasing him through good works.

Pray for a breakthrough of God’s Spirit convicting, drawing and opening many O eyes to see and really perceive, their ears to hear, and their hearts to understand and turn and be healed! May God draw many O to become strong disciples of Jesus who will make more disciples – starting a Disciple Making Movement in O-land!

Our hearts’ desire and prayer for the O is that they may be saved. We can testify about them that many of them are zealous for God – but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they do not know the righteousness of God (through Jesus), they seek to establish their own, and so they do not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ (the Messiah) is the fulfillment of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. Pray that many O will submit to God’s Gift of Salvation and Righteousness through Jesus the Messiah!

Pray for Lasting Fruit from a wonderful 5 days of Kids Club with so much Gospel truth shared to over 200 kids! May the kids remember their memory verses, and many of them share with their families & bring about Response! Pray breakthrough prayers for us & our AIC team – for a breakthrough of God’s Spirit drawing many O to become strong disciples of Jesus who will make more disciples – starting that Disciple Making Movement in O-land!

Pray that Bible translation work will be blessed and empowered by God, with accuracy and good natural flow in the O language. Pray for O and J, the main translators, that they and their wives will be strong in the Lord. The Jesus film in O has been delayed over and over- pray against the powers of this dark world that work and scheme to keep the O in bondage and darkness! May God’s Word go forward with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction!

We have Kids Club plans for 5 days out of the next two weeks. It’s the first time since corona. Pray that the kids (possibly up to 200) may hear and understand the good news and that many will come into God’s kingdom of light. And that they will experience God’s love in the process, and have a lot of fun!!!

We’ve now had two great meetings with groups of this family we asked you to pray for. Pray that God would work powerfully to draw them. This is the same group that after reading the story of Jesus healing the paralytic who was carried to him by his 4 faith filled friends and lowered before Jesus in the full house, the young man said, “I have learned a lesson from this story, Jesus is God!!“ Then the grandma piped in, “Why don’t we ask Jesus to heal Gail (granddaughter who was diagnosed with Lupus last year and has severe polyarthritis) completely, and we four who are sitting here will be Jesus’ witnesses!“

We prayed in the name, power and authority of Jesus. Pray with us for Gail’s complete healing! And the group’s salvation and witness! Gail is a bit better today – we had increased her steroid dose, and we continue to pray with perseverance for complete healing!

We have a meeting set up tonight with a young man and his family who God has led us to target to share good news with. Pray that they will not fear! Pray that the young man will invite several of his age mates to join him, as well as his family. Pray that the Holy Spirit would empower our words and our time to be the beginning of much lasting fruit!

A woman (A) is dangerously ill with preeclampsia in her 24th week of pregnancy. She’s the leader of the occultic worship in our village, and her husband (U) and extended family are very resistant and hard hearted to the gospel, and to adhering to medical treatments! Pray that God’s unfailing love will draw her and her extended family (including a chief and some very influential people) through His healing power and grace, to COME TO JESUS, and be His vessels in leading others to Jesus’ saving grace!

Pastor Guyo reports that they have a new believer coming for regular meetings. His wife has also been coming for some teaching. Pray that the wife will also believe and that they will both grow and share their faith boldly and wisely to make more disciples!

Pray for all the planned Christmas sharing, meals and hospitality to be received and responded to -that a breakthrough of a disciple making movement may begin in O land!

Praise the Lord with us that the rains have come to O-land, the grass is growing and the animals have food to eat. Many animals have died because of the drought – Pray that the economy will improve and God will continue to provide for the physical needs, as well as a spiritual outpouring that they would receive Jesus to reign in their hearts!

G is back home and we PTL for healing from the acute medication reaction, and a solid diagnosis to help us with her long term treatment. Pray that her young and timid faith will keep growing and spread to her mom, grandma, uncle, grandpa and her whole extended family as a catalyst for our community to respond to Jesus’ invitation to come and follow Him!
