Reading the Word

Mar 23, 2026 |

Chadian Arabs: Pray for 3 men who are reading the Your Word outside of English class. Please give them understanding. Let Your Word come alive to them. Remove confusion, doubt, and fear. Lead them to a place of full surrender to You. We also pray for others we may not know of who have heard the stories or have access to Scripture. Seek them out, Lord. Call them to Yourself. Create in them a hunger to read Your Word and a deep desire to know the truth.

Gospel conversations

Feb 27, 2026 |

Chadian Arabs: We are very thankful to God for the many opportunities to share the gospel at the hospital and in the community. 
–   Please pray for M C and his son, Ad. They have already heard about Jesus and are interested, and they have started reading the New Testament at the hospital.
– Also, pray for A A, who took the radio home after his treatment. He is willing to continue learning more about Jesus through the radio.
– Pray for U, a very young man and has also heard about Jesus. We will continue to have more conversions next time.
– Pray for the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit upon all of these men.
– Pray also for our friends- we would like to have more conversations about Jesus with them.
