January 15
When an elderly villager lost his adult daughter and son to COVID-19, a witchdoctor told him his wife and in-laws were to blame, causing the senior great conflict with them. Local missionaries traveled to pray and minister to him, and they led him to faith in Christ; he was heartened to learn how the workers had entrusted themselves to the Lord when they lost a loved one to cancer. In another area, a native missionary couple who planted a church recently led eight new people to Christ. Workers need donations to proclaim the gospel and help new believers mature in the faith. Pray that more people will receive eternal life.
