Focus on families women and children:
1. At two field locations some 200 people were involved with seminars focused on Christian family life. This is a significant topic for these first generation believers to learn that the Lordship of Christ extends to all of life.
2. Child abuse is a pernicious evil that also affects kids in villages. G.O.S.P.E.L. missionaries are taught about child protection strategies and also about violence against women. The G.O.S.P.E.L. mission field has clear policies which are explained to all evangelists and staff. Pray that all our mission churches will be places where vulnerable people would feel safe.
Focus on the challenges of teaching new believers:
3. One of the G.O.S.P.E.L. evangelists gives thanks to God for ten new families who have embraced the Gospel at Kachi village. He is requesting prayer for these new believers. This is a reason for thanksgiving, but this also brings the challenge to invest time to bring these new Christians to maturity. There’s a lot to do for all our 75 evangelists.
