Daily Prayer Request
Summer Outreach - Earlier this summer many students from seminaries and pastors’ schools across West Africa finished their exams and headed home. Some are now involved in special outreach projects of evangelism, discipleship and church planting during their long break before next semester’s work begins. Pray for these students as they go, asking God to provide for each spiritual, physical and emotional need as they serve Him and share His Word. Ask the Lord to go before them and prepare hearts to receive His message of salvation.

I Am Afraid
A missionary has been coming to our village and sharing the stories of Jesus. I have listened to her teachings three or four times. I have not been able to attend all of the meetings because I have much work to do in my gardens. The things I have heard at these meetings are true. I know I am a sinner. The missionary has taught us that God sent his son to die for my sins. I want to accept the way of Iisaa (Jesus) and live for Him, but I am afraid. What will my family do to me? What will my husband do?
The African woman who comes to the village with the missionary is walking the way of Iisaa. Her family has disowned her and has threatened to take her children away from her. She is looking for a place to live and sometimes goes without food. I am afraid. I know this is the truth, but what if my husband beats me for turning my back on his religion or my family abandons me and my children are taken away…….. I am afraid.
If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life – he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26-27 (NIV)
Family is everything to the Fulakunda; if you do not have family, you have nothing. Intercede for Fulakunda seekers as they count the cost.
Pray that they will see that people cannot save their souls, only God can. Pray that they will fear God more than man.
Pray that they will put all their trust in God, believing that God will be with them, provide for them, and love them.
