When the construction team arrived earlier this year to begin building a home for the evangelist/worship center in a new outreach area, they set up their tents on a parcel of land that the village gave to the church. During this initial construction time, one of the men saw that there was a charm tied onto a tree near the campsite. We prayed over the campsite and then they cut off the charm and burned it right there. Then they proceeded with the planned construction for the remainder of the time and forgot about the charm incident.

Apparently, this charm was placed on the tree years ago by a man in the village. And since that time, this man has been bound by spirits. The day that this charm was cut off and burned, he was freed from his oppression and, according to the village leaders, the entire village was also freed from their bondage. We do serve a living God! Pray this village will use their freedom to follow Jesus!

Pray for the youth we work with, that they will truly seek the Lord and find him.

Pray for provision for an upcoming conference for African missionaries and believers from Muslim background. Pray each one would be encouraged in the Lord and further equipped in their ministry.

Pray for the women I meet with, some won’t want to study the Bible until Ramadan is over. Pray that God may reveal himself to them.

Pray for the women disciples, for growth and provision for their families.
Pray also for provision of school fees for many students who have not yet started school due to that challenge.

Our team has organized three outreaches to outer lying villages in the next weeks and months. This includes open-air preaching, choir performances, times of worship and prayer, and a showing of the Jesus Film. Please pray that God would prepare the hearts of those who will hear the gospel in these places, and that we would be led by the Holy Spirit in our planning and sharing, and that His name would be glorified! Our prayer is that the seeds of the gospel would be widely spread through these events.

Our area of Tanzania has received a lot of rain this year, and there has been flooding in our area that not only poses a problem for the local farmers and their crops, but can also be dangerous for those needing to cross the water to travel to their families and fields. The water has also restricted the movement and gathering together of the local church, which makes it difficult to enjoy fellowship together and encourage one another. Please pray for safety, God’s provision and that we would continue to persevere together, even if we are separated by water.

Thank the Lord for the seeds planted during the youth camp, pray that in His time those seeds will germinate into faith and salvation. Pray for the Youth program, that transformation may continue taking place.

Yesterday I started my trip to Njombe with Matthew and Joel. This is a week long trip where we will be preaching over the Christmas Holiday. Plan is to be back next Wednesday evening. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of the people as they hear the Word preached. That they would be challenged to be witnesses to the Hope that is within them to their Muslim neighbors.

We’ve had a good start to camps and things are running smoothly so far.

Praise the Lord for another seeker who is almost there, pray that God will remove any fear and doubt and that she can fully put her faith in Christ.
Pray that the ladies will meet together once a week, as well as individual discipleship.

Our local church boasts two truly local believers – that is, men who were born in our village and have stepped out of Islam to follow Jesus. One of these believers has been struggling in his commitment to his faith and the church, and it has been a difficult journey. Please pray that he may come to really know the worthiness of Christ, and pray for our team as we seek to disciple and encourage him.

Pray for an upcoming youth camp to be held in December. We are expecting around 200 youth. Most of them will be seekers. Pray that their eyes will be opened and see the Light and be transformed by the gospel. Pray for provision for the camp and all the preparation.

Last weekend we did a three-day outreach in an outer lying village in our region, including worship times, open air preaching, home visits and showings of the Jesus Film in Swahili. We are excited by the response, and are hoping to see a weekly gathering of the local believers take place in the weeks and months to come. Please pray for this young group of believers, as well as others who heard the Word this weekend. May the seeds take root and bear fruit in good soil.

Pray for encouragement for the female believers, that they may stand firm despite many challenges.
It’s another long holiday, pray that the youth will be able to stand firm in doing what is right.

Pray for individual discipleship going on with different women. Pray that they may keep growing in the Word. Pray for sister M who is facing tough spiritual warfare. Pray that she may stand.

Thanks for praying for our medical outreach. It was a huge victory for Jesus. Many prayed to receive Jesus. Many asked for prayer to be released from spiritual darkness, and others from attacks and demons. I could go on for days, but want to highlight just one testimony. On the final night in the village of Kiswele, we showed the Jesus film. The film ends with a prayer of repentance; few will come forward publicly. But we recognize that the Word is powerful and speaks and penetrates where others can’t. That last night, one lady listened intently, silently prayed the prayer and went home. That night she had the best restful sleep ever. She woke up, and knew something had changed in her. In the early morning hours, she hurried over to share her knew found joy. There she made it public with our group of pastors that she was a follower of Jesus and wanted to get connected. The joy on her face was worth the past two weeks of challenges. Many, many seeds were planted and the Word has gone out to those previously who had never heard. I gratefully say a huge THANKS. PRAISE and GLORY TO JESUS.

We had a community-wide outreach back in June, and it was a great opportunity to do evangelism with the local church, show the Jesus Film and encourage one another. Since then, we’ve been able to do several children outreaches and showings of the Jesus Film in out lying villages, and we’re planning another one for August 26. Please pray for us as we continue to follow-up on recent outreaches and prepare for the next one. Pray the seeds of the gospel would fall on good soil and bear much fruit for His glory.

Thank God for the opportunity to serve in local schools. Pray that many students will be transformed.
Thank God for the Youth program. Pray that those who are still in bondage to drugs will be set free by Christ.
Pray for the women’s ministry. Some women are facing challenges, pray that God will help them stand firm.

Construction of the church building in our community continues. Please pray for God’s provision in all needed resources – workers, knowledge, funds, equipment, etc. Please pray also that the local church would continue to take ownership of this project and not become discouraged.
We have several new seekers reaching out and asking questions. Please pray that they would become convicted by the Truth of the gospel and seek to grow in their knowledge about Jesus.

Our prayer request is for our medical Outreach, August 6 thru 21. We are targeting 4 new villages that are unreached and have no church presence. We want to see that change. 5 TZ doctors from the capital are joining us and our team here of 10. The group of 16, traveling around 4 unreached villages trying to evangelize with medical Outreach and Jesus film is a huge undertaking. We need your prayers for many things: logistics, protection from demonic attacks, finances, clear communication, and common goals. Would you please stand with us in prayer that Jesus would be lifted up in every way and that many unreached peoples would hear of Jesus.

Pray for the ladies I’m meeting with. Discipleship is continuing at individual level in their homes or businesses, and as a group on Sunday morning. Pray for those who come on Sundays who are still Ms, that as we do DBS, that they may encounter Him. Pray for M, who is a seeker, and her family at risk of breaking apart, pray that she may run to Him who is the Prince of Peace. Pray for M and L who are believers that they may grow in their faith. They are running small businesses, let’s pray that God will provide a way to expand their businesses.

Pray for M who has recently believed. However, she moved to a far town that is totally unengaged. Pray that I can disciple her through media and that she will eventually become a light to that village.

Pray for the ‘Come Follow Me’ discipleship class. The ladies have gotten busy lately during the week because they have to earn a living for their families. I am following them individually to disciple them in their small businesses. Pray that this will continue, and pray for growth and provision for these ladies.

We have two MBB engaging with our pastor and regularly working through the “Njoo Nifuate” (Come, Follow Me) program – designed specifically for believers of a Islamic background. Please pray for their progress and understanding, and that this may build them up in their faith going forward. Pray also that we, as a team, may know how to best use the tools available to us to reach the people we are working with.

Recently we saw a new family choose to follow Jesus together. Praise the Lord! Please pray for them as they grow in understanding and knowledge about God and His Word. They live a significant distance away from the village and the church (as do many other believers), so please remember to pray for all of them in their isolation – that they may stand firm in Jesus and value highly fellowship with other believers.

Last week our community began their month-long Ramadan fast. Please pray that during this intentional month of seeking to please Allah, many would come to know the Holy God who cares for them and desires to be known by them. Please pray for us as a team to use the opportunities this time represents to speak of God and His love for His people.
