Amdu Testimony

October 19, 2020

We have loved watching this couple’s enthusiasm grow from the early days of teaching literacy classes to the recent foundational Bible lessons we taught.

Baby Food: Amdu

September 9, 2020

Thank you for continuing to pray for the work God is doing here in Amdu. We started regular meetings again this week. We meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings now.
