What they used to do was all kinds of incantations or magic to assure safe delivery. However for the first time ever they are laying all that aside and walking by faith alone that God will help them. Therefore I\u2019m writing all of you to ask you to pray for this woman. Her name is Tiyenare. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">She was in the first literacy class and is incredibly shy. This is her first baby and there are midwives here that have gone through a training course so they will be able to assist. They\u2019ve obviously delivered lots of babies here, but this will be the first one without dependence on animistic practices! It\u2019s awesome seeing their simple unwavering faith. Pray that they will see God\u2019s work in this and glorify His name!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Thank you!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Gary<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Supporters, \u00a0 I\u2019m writing to ask for prayer. \u00a0 Recently the believers here have been challenged to get rid of all their old ways.
