Gospel conversations
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.
Remind them
Chadian Arabs: Please continue to pray for three students to want to study outside of class. There is one student who is reading outside classes with me, who hasn’t come for a few weeks and keeps having other commitments, although he says he wants to continue. Pray for more students to study with us.
Pray that God would still work in past English club participants and remind them of truths they have heard, especially during Ramadan.
