“Nothing moves the heart of God more than prayer.” Beth Moore
Dear Praying friends, we need your prayers! We have always known that we are not alone as we are working amongst the people of Dinangat, but that we are working in a big team together with all of you. We have seen so many times how God’s hands were moved as we kneeled down before His throne in prayer together with you. It is our desire again to challenge all of you to pray with us together.
Please pray for our neighboring village M. which is still partly closed for the gospel at this time.
We (that is the church from here and the church of our neighboring village T.) would like to teach the story of God to the M. people this coming January, just as we have done it here in 2008 and in T. in 2010.
M. is the biggest village of the Dinangat tribe and therefore has the most outspoken leaders, which are critical of the “new” and are worried about losing their influential position. And yet others are very hungry for the truth for they see the change it has created in the lives of their relatives in our village and the T. village.
Kune’s wife from M. said, “The way things have changed in T. is amazing. Even men that did not want to know about anything religious before understand God’s story today and want to live their lives differently and let go of the old ways.”
Monae from M. regrets it that he is from M. where people have not heard God’s story and believe in old bad rituals for salvation.
Please pray for M.! “…for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the people with equity.” Psalm 98,9
Please also pray for our co-workers, the Markleys, who will return to Dinangat after their 1-year furlough. Saying good-bye is always so hard, please pray for much strength and energy for them! We are so excited to get to have them back here with us soon!
Thank you for every single prayer, it moves God’s heart !
Praying with you, Ralf & Elli with Naomi, Rebekka and Mirjam.
