Many times a church pastor had shared the gospel with the hard-drinking, womanizing husband of a member of his congregation, though the man showed no interest. When the 42-year-old merchant had a heart attack, the pastor organized congregational prayer during his 10 days of hospital care. Continuing to share Scripture and pray for him after his recovery, the pastor led him to Christ. The man stopped his prior habits and has led two of his friends to faith in Christ. Native Christian workers need donations to share the gospel with such people and provide biblical grounding for growth. They request prayer for the salvation of more souls and the planting of more churches.

“Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20)
